Everyone is just blindly trying to play catch up in a game where nvidia controls everything
Theres a reason theyre such a powerhouse
Invent the keys and always dangle them just a bit too far away
Theyre convincing people that their vision of the future is the only future
Their vision of the future isnt, but i do like a lot of the science behind it, ive liked the idea of frame scaling and generation since it came out
It just isnt ready
Yeah no the tech is great
True raytracing still isnt even ready
But not when they want it to replace perfectly fine and better looking methods that take a lot less computational power
They want to replace them because its to their benefit
People want advancement
Rasterization i do feel is getting closer to its limit
I dont think its hit yet, but
I think that's fair
At least by the standard of power modern households can receive
654678W gpu soon
Fr
still runs games at 60fps native

30k fps upscaled
(You have no way to prove they arent there)
Idk man we already live in a dystopia, with stuff like the apple "leak" that they sell user data through their siri (who saw that one coming)
Im waiting for all the other "leaks"
Money has exceptional power with technology
Because you dont put any of the effort in and still get the result
No way, apple didn't in fact live up to their privacy marketing just a few years ago??
One of the largest companies that takes advantage of peoples ignorance and sells a 200 dollar kit of pc wheels or a stupidly overpriced monitor stand?
I live by "the more money a conglemerate has, the cheaper their products become"
oh my god the 200 dollar wheels lmao
And cheaper sure as hell aint on the consumer side lmao
I seriously dont know how they got away with that
I hate to say it but people are stupid, not everyone obviously but enough to make it an issue 
And the rich take advantage of those people
Being cruel and selfish is rewarded
Who (with a voice) is gonna complain about you when you fill their pockets?
Let's put the charging port on the bottom of the mouse
Apple engineering
AND the power button too! People are gonna love it!
I do like some of their stuff, it has genuine quality
But its quality in the wrong place
For a VERY wrong price
But oh wait people want USB C, lets keep it on the bottom
Despite it being a product refresh we won't actually do anything meaningful
Im switching to a redmagic phone when i get a new one
where my headphone jack
They might have worse software natively
But by god their hardware is impeccable
Microsd AND 3.5mm jack
Can't believe those are praised features but here we are
Lmao
The world we live in
Also i love some other stuff they do, the front facing camera being entirely screen and looking good and flush is cool tech
Its like hidden under the top panel
I wanna try civ VII
Purple is Austria and green is the rest of the holy roman empire
that price tag tho
Hey price varies thats all ill say 
european border gore
the entirety of europe and the near east is balkanized
the game tried to nerf me but I've already vassalised the entire HRE
I'm having issues with the Game Foundation from Steam. Whenever I move around the map using the keyboard it has a delayed response and it would even overshoot. Is this a hardware limit or an issue with the game?
Using a Wired Keyboard Corsair K75 I believe. I7-10700k and RTX 3090
shouldn't be a hardware issue if it doesn't happen anywhere else
I'll do some Google search then, see if others are having the same issue
Just so weird cause it only happens with the keyboard. The mouse is fine
i did it
now do laso no death
hmmm
I'm tempted to fight the coalition
when I get imperialism CB I'm going in on all of them
one of the best games i've ever played tbh, the first one was good and i played the f out of it but damn, war horse really bossed up
Actually trying to fight a coalition
they can't concentrate the entire coalition army against my forces so
I can just wipe them individually
the coalition just disbanded and they're already fighting each other
I think I actually completed destroyed the European hugbox
The AI's actually fighting wars now instead of sitting around
Russia for one is going in on PLC instead of China
There's the Anglo-French war
And Persia's eating up the East
How to have fun in late game EU4: fight a massive death war
I've been playing Turkey like an unciv
💀
France joined the war
What a party pooper I wanted to fight the Russians

tried the war again
this time the germans are BTFOing the french and the russians
Meanwhile in eastern europe
epic Ottoman W


late game micro 💀
not even a fun war the AI just moves isolated stacks in and gets stackwiped
no real battles
this is just map painting
turns out the Russians are fighting AI Transoxiana while their entire country is being sieged down
Late game micro is just siege the forts with your armies and let puppet swarm take the other tiles lol
HRE moment
tfw fighting the coalition just so I could have a real war
WTF AHAHAH SOMALIA IS STRONGER THAN FRANCE
gonna do a tall india game next
seems fun
just sitting in asia for half the game and then scaling hard in the endgame
mfw I have to 1v2 russia and france because I didn't give them savoy
Ordinarily this wouldn't be an issue
But I just became a great power so that screwed me over because I'm not getting sphere goods as the moment
So my units are reinforcing very slowly
Avanti Savoia
Down with the french
(tbh Russia's more of a small nuisance because I have to keep an army on the east instead of just having my entire army hold out against France)
(they just send singular stacks down to get wiped)
Imagine an added mechanic where your country has corruption so by the time your units make it to the front lines, you have only half of the tanks you thought you did and your guys have potato cannons instead of rifles.
It's better than nothing 🤷
@hybrid dagger pls confirm
You think we'd waste good potatoes on the enemy??
The only use for potato canons are to in our mouth
(also fun fact Ireland is completely neutral and hence our army is a joke)
Lmao
Angry farmer

sooo no idea why this is happening but my gpu has 12 gb of vram but for some reason after a couple hours my gpu will just give out and not want to run link anymore
any reason as to why?
ye
ah
what else should i use then?
I can’t use airlink because my internet is actual butt
and steam doesn’t let me use a cable
also could be your Quest is just running out of battery? the cable can't fully charge it while also doign data transfer
It’s not dying at all that’s not my issue
huh
The issue is that link likes to crash a couple hours into using jt
then i just can’t use it after without it disconnecting me after 5 seconds or just the sound and mic not working entirely
and today it just hasn’t worked at all, it connected me but the minute i got on vrc it crashed
and for some reason my boundary was messed up
Actually maybe it’s time for a new headset, it’s crashing running anything
Like you can't run games on the quest itself? Could be overheating maybe
nah its not overheating
it happens when i first turn on the headset too
Please post to #links-and-selfpromotion instead
Fr
smeeta kavat was not blessing me with that double resource booster bruh or itll give me the booster after i collect the steel essence or riven sliver
bruh, i just got a credit booster for my login reward, wouldve been nice to have it for the survival run

bro taking pics in the void
orbiter now empty. taking everything to backrooms
Color scheme goes hard
We got GTA 6 before GTA 7 🙏😭
Hey Sony we giving you forza access gib pc Gt access
fr bruh, WHERE GT ON PC???
Never happening
My theory is that horizon 5 is likely coming to PS because FH6 is releasing soonish and that will still be xbox/pc exclusive
I wonder what country FH6 will reside in
I swear if it isn't anywhere in Asia
The only acceptable countries: China (you know why lmao), Japan, South Korea
Japan would be an immediate buy for me, the only reason I don't like FH5 All that much is because the map sucks
Half of it is desert, the other half is undrivable, and any provided roads/cities are unimpressive and tiny.
I absolutely want some forest/mountain touge tracks with some tokyo drifting in a mainstream Forza game
Place japan
I'm Tired
Germany with their autobahn would make a great speed zone
Watch Daishi, The Final Battle and millions of other Elden Ring videos captured using Medal.
Elden Beast moves too much, needed Tiche
I thought it was pretty cool until I found out how overpriced it is
$60 for a plastic mug
This is crazy
That's without shipping too. Absolutely insane
Sucks because they actually make good stuff
Everyone takes an L once in a while it is what it is
bro welcome to the 20th century
enjoy your stay
ok how is that raised 700k dollars
...
21st*
Its ok even the best people take Ls sometimes
This is one of them
First one I seen ghost ship take
i paid the same amount for a nice thick ceramic merch mug
ACTUALLY LESS
i still use this mug daily
i love it
bought it back in 2021
It isn't even a ghost ship L to be fair, they just allowed other people to make merch off of their IP, it's the scorched steel people that are doing the pricing
outer wilds dlc is terrifying but so cool
base game was already great
glad I gave the dlc a chance but i gotta get through some of the scary parts to progress i think lol
@idle garnet https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/j7rter/dualshock_dual_stick_hotas_with_triggers/
interesting... thats pretty cool

oh look free land
huh
looks like I'm keeping the netherlands
I vassalised them for even having the audacity to declare war
uh oh
at least I can use the brits to kill france
Anyone interested in dune awakening?
Honestly not expecting much out of it but i will still be watching it in case it turns out good
Does anyone here play:
- War Thunder
- Halo Infinite
- Fortnite
- Ark Survival Evolved
am wart hunder player, whats up
Looking for more teammates.
My friends got me into playing it and I plan to form a clan for calm wt players to hang out
wt and calm does not go together well
prob try one of the youtuber squadrons and find their discords, that's your best chance, like zenturion or justinplayz or oddbawz
the people that actually play a lot of wart hunder are not calm people
maybe from time to time
My friends are in 8-9 BR though I am only 5 right now
yea you have to find people actually grinding near 5.0 or whatever specific br you're grinding at
I was doing some 5.0 moffett abuse for sl lol
I want to abuse bravy but no one spawns planes soo
Meanwhile I'm playing the Kriegsmarine
Smelyi has better fcs than moffett lol
Smelyi fcs is same as Wilkinson
Really?
6s/3s iirc
I'd imagine the German FCS isn't too good
Yea German fcs is slower
From what I've seen
To be fair the Kriegsmarine wasn't known for their surface fleet
At least not unless you're talking their fleet being sunk
Honestly I love navy
It's probably the most realistic modern naval combat game
It just gets neglected a lot
Subs and carriers would be interesting
Then it wouldn't be a point and click sim the whole time
Subs were in an April fools event but they never added it to naval rb
Carriers would give me something to bully with bravy :p
I wonder how carriers would work tho
At least in a realistic sense
Because in WW2 they crammed those ships full of planes
One carrier per game can launch a stupid amount of dive bombers
Or torpedo bombers
Prob not in the game because it's difficult to add
Yeah it's difficult to do it realistically
The Enterprise alone would shred the entire enemy team before the surface ships get within effective firing range
You need a swarm of planes to do anything, and that takes players
Yeah
And that's...
Very unbalanced
Carriers would either be underpowered or overpowered
Either would not be realistic
I mean ship aa slaughter individual planes
True
The issue is you need like 10 players to staff 1 carrier
AI in war thunder sucks
Just as effective as AI torpedos
Then again I probably got hit by a couple
I guess a decent mechanic would be that you control an entire squadron
Formation flying
It would come with its own issues but
It might be the most realistic way to have air wings
Then again you'll have to simulate the bombing, resupplying, simultaneous carrier operations
Devs would probably want to rip their head out
Not worth when naval doesn't bring them much money
Coastal has that issue
Blue water realistic has the issue of 8 minute queue for like a 8 person lobby lol
Tbh
That's arcade too
Ranges from 1-10m
I want to see like
A WWI battle
On the atlantic
Jutland style
Maybe that's more of a singleplayer mission thing
I mean coastal realistic just spams a lobby with bots past like 3 minutes of queue
But seeing dreadnoughts fight it out would be cool
Bluewater realistic makes you wait for players
Yeah I'm usually just sniping off the players
I haven't gotten into a single lobby
Cuz low tier
I might be able to get in now tbh
4.3 blue water is generally fine at peak hours
I've unlocked one of the better light cruisers
Like 1min queues
5.0 ish are fine at peak hours too but you'll be spammed by moffett
Hoi4 light cruiser looking thing
I hate the moffett so much
German suffering
Good news is that moffett armor sucks and doesn't have that many crew
Really
So I could snipe them off with my cruiser
I usually go for guns then waterline
You can pen below the waterline and ammo rack if you feel like aiming
Bad thing with Germany is you don't usually have much filler
No sap rounds with he levels of he
Actually what rounds should I use
For below waterline damage
I've been using the naval doctrine of
HE for Destroyers/Light Cruisers
AP for Light Cruisers - Battleships
That doesn't work for war thunder
You're at a point where some destroyers have enough armor to warrant AP
I've been watching too many documentaries
It's realistic because you're using like 130mm guns
You're supposed to be using like 380mm HE on destroyers
When you're a destroyer, you may need AP to pen other destroyers
When you're a cruiser, you usually just want to HE destroyers
I'm talking heavy cruisers with actual guns not early light cruisers with the same guns as destroyers lol
I got the triple gun turret light cruiser
It's the caliber and the shell that matters
Gonna check the caliber rq
Until you get to equivalent like the American 203mm guns the HE won't be consistent against all destroyers
15cm
150mm yea you'll need AP for any armored bits
Carry some HE to spam above decks, use mostly AP to do damage to specific parts
HE to kill crew, AP to kill parts
I see
I usually shell spam the nearest player
Usually a destroyer
Almost never kill them until I get in range
But hey
Gets rid of some shells
Fun part with anything with pen is a hit to ammo is effective at any range
I just always use sap personally
Unless I'm facing something I can't pen anyways
Well
Diving shell usually can't pen enough to hit actual ammo but sometimes you get to damage ammo elevator so stopping them from shooting back is a good start
I see
With the early game spam I would have a decent chance of hitting a gun
And plus with low risk so
Might try AP spam for a change
I rammed a cruiser up a heavy cruiser once
And then torpedoed it
Surprisingly the player heavy cruisers was only firing at me half the time
Even though I was like 50-100m away
Serious skill issue
I don't think I've ever gotten an intentional torpedo kill
I always just spam down a corridor and get a kill 5min later
- Letting me get close
- Letting me shoot him
- Letting me torpedo him
Torpedos are funny
I sometimes just hop in a torpedo boat and troll
Some maps are really good for torpedoing
The map where there's like an ice wall on one side especially
Very good corridor for torps
Best part is you can see and fire spawn to spawn on that map lmao
Idk why it gives you vision to select and get fcs ranging info on targets
Yeah that's a really good cruiser map too
The trees just aren't accounted for
If you can get in the center
Which isn't too hard
And is only a matter of time
You've won
I usually try to rush center
Usually only destroyers go in there
So I just outgun them
yes.
france blocked all my main expansion routes
so uhh
crusade time
oh this might be winnable
gonna build up a bit then go in

what shader is that
I think that was photon
If it runs well without significant frame drops on different areas then prolly
It totally sounds like the type of game i was looking for
Crapton of enemy variety
Crapton of weapons and gear
A story
Towns and hub areas
And open world
Pfft
That's not happening
Its Monster Hunter
Ill prefer watching paint dry
At least that can keep a consistent frame rate
Sorry theo def not me, this benchmarker is playing the game on high 1440p with dlss balanced
is there anyone here that plays tarkov with a amd gpu?
Do you get any stutters aside from the normal tarkov stutter?
so we dont clutter build chat
@blazing hawk Kinda sorta
You have to get kappa and have certain things like level 20 strength and endurance. level 15 charisma or something like that. rest space 3 and med station 3 for the hideouts and be level 55 then you can prestige to do it all over again while getting a prestige armband and dogtag
prestige was from this wipe that started dec 27th I think. there is only 2 prestiges in the game currently but if you get the 2nd. you permanently get a extra daily and weekly task as well as a special knife of some sort. I think its a dagger.
Oh that's actually pretty cool, will actually give me something new to grind for
Wtf happened to EOD?
on the store page? EoD was only a limited time pack. You cant buy it anymore
yeah
according to the tarkov discord and support team. you keep all the EOD limited things even if you upgrade to the unheard addition
I see this as an absolute win
Spaniards tried to invade me (with France) but got land taken away
one step closer to Italian unification
just gotta deal with those pesky venetians
honestly I'm surprised I didn't die to France
The merc reform certainly helps
Especially since I'm going against much larger great powers half the time
Turks was managable
But Italy & Austria (Not GP) vs Spain & France was practically a war for survival
Had to fight defensively because of the french
Man, trying to mod Mass effect is the slowest thing ever
Without nexus premium
Half of the mods are 1GB+
@agile estuary is the cheating problem even worse this wipe? So far had 5 raids and in 3 of them had someone flying around
Real
Real
Unreal
Fake
not really. im about 350 raids into the wipe and never really had an issue aside from lighthouse and streets. 1 in 5 raids on streets is a blatant cheat. 1 in 2 raids on lighthouse are spinbotting player scavs but other than that ive been mostly without running into them
Damn guess I'm just unlucky
im in the US though. I know Oceania and EU servers have a big cheater problem
ive played all but 1 wipe since streets came out and I still dont fully know that map without a map on my second screen
I know the layout and extracts of streets but god help me if im trynna find any loot there
recently ive been able to narrow down either sewer river extract or crashed heli. car is never there when I check and kilmov street is always too hot to extract for me
UH OH
Poland has penetrated the HRE borders
since Austria won't be my ally
I might just invade them and feed land to brandenburg
normally I don't want Prussia to form but
someone's gotta stop poland
plus Italy and Prussia's expansion routes don't overlap that much
whereas with Austria they have claim over my Balkan lands and I want their Stryian lands
and with Poland...
They're just a massive uncontained blob with no counter
Sheesh I barely play for the past month or so and im stacked up
Wonder how many I could have gotten if I kept at it

me whose been playing for the past month sitting at 3 blue, 1 tauforged blue, and 1 orange 
ive spent none of my shards
i need to grind for them more
Yeah I was stingy with them even though I get a lot from eda
Well the main frames I use have them so I guess its time to just put whatever on whoever would benefit from them
I took the approach where if the frame didn’t need it, I wouldn’t put it
No point of being like that anymore tho
anybody have some co-op game recommendations
online or local is fine
maybe not horror though
Among Us
overcooked, unrailed, plateup, cook serve delicious, farming simulator, satisfactory, human fall flat, lethal company, mindustry, and some others have already been played
Payday 2 is a good one
hmm
neither of us are much of fps gamers tbh lmao
have done that but not enough time to commit tbh due to work
golf would be a good idea
i already own the game, but we havent played it yet
Escapists 2
Why do I have this
real
Viscera Cleanup Detail
hmm
that one might require too much commitment? idk tbh
i forgot that i owned the game lmao
It Takes Two
Deep rock is great
Helldivers 2 is also fun, best with 4 people for the chaos
true
Might also be on game pass
still more expensive than buying 2 copies of the other games though tbh
Risk of rain returns & risk of rain 2
Sorry I'm doing a lot of fps games lol that's my main genre
Lemme look at my library rq
lmao
Human: fall flat you already played this my bad
Castle crashers
Shift Happens
Terraria
It can if you are really autistic with it but you can play it with every event that comes by and be fine
There is an event right now
1.5 weeks left
Couple months there will be another
You can just hop on every event that comes out
hmm i see
REPO is very fun rn, but they did say maybe not horror
Damn
Guys I'm playing cs2 in GTX 1650 Ryzen 5 3550h with 16gb ram hp pavilion but I only get max of 50 fps in game , while other youtubers and other people getting 75-80 fps
Also in GTA V I'm getting 45-50 fps
guh?
Yeah
guh?
yea
AIO gaming is wild
use linux and you'll probably get 100 more fps frfr
Im gonna be using steamos when it has a pc port
Get nobara its easy to use
Already does, no?
Not fully official yet tho
it does not, it has the steamdeck version that can be utilized on a pc
its not the same as a pc port
BAHAHAH the fact i watch house and this is the most accurate way of their convos
Yep
digging through some stuff and found an old base i had on a realm a few years ago
honestly one of my best builds ever but I got ambitious w/ the scale and got burnt out + the realm died out lol
shame i couldnt get the world download

I need to make a server and I get all of my friends on Axiom and we build a whole city
Mods feel free to remove if leaks aren't allowed
https://streamable.com/7yci2l
BF6 pre alpha
I like dealing with the server but there is a mod called world host where you create a lan and have friends join you as if it was a server
Another called e4mc
Easy to set up
Doesn't that put your world onto somebody's server?
I forgot the mod for it but there's another one like that that sort of functions in the same way but it's more of like you having a friends list and you can message your friends, all through Minecraft
Just the sort of thing I don't trust lol
It routes your lan traffic to their server but its all encrypted
So yeah but the thing is the data coming from minecraft is encrypted
E4mc creator has no clue what you are doing, just routing encrypted packets
I need to look into it lol
I like my Tailscale setup I have though. It's also gotten one of my friends to sort of attempt self hosting lol
Its useful for mod packs but for the typical modded server I still do it the typical way
Just an alternative if interested

Thanks bro
Just fyi e4mc is like a lan world, where when you close your game the server goes down

I figured lol
In the past my friends and I have used Apex hosting for our creative build world. Can get the first 3 months of a 4gb server for $23. Whatever CPUs they use seem to be plenty for worldedit & axiom.
Also the server control panel they have is pretty nice
I already have a server at home lol. I use Tailscale to get everybody together
Yeah I'm thinking of trying out selfhosting now that I have a mini pc
Do it. It'll be pain at first but you'll get used to it
Just jump straight into Docker lol
You won't regret it later when you have a Nextcloud instance on a Raspberry Pi running on a 500GB USB SSD on top of CasaOS, which has the weirdest Docker file structure, and then you want to back it up later to put on one of your other servers that has a 16TB SMB share (speaking from experience)
I just host it on my computer and play
But you know
The mini pc has barely been used for the past few months
Ohhh I remember tailscale now
lol yep
Seems you need to have a corpo email for that
Nah I use my personal
There was another one called netbird
There's also Twingate. But I'd rather build a whole new environment for that
It looks to be paid
Nah it's free for up to 100 devices
yeah
Super nice and simple
Damn see the reason I hosted on my computer was so that another pc wouldn’t take up another slot on hamachi
Radmin doesnt work on linux so I used hamachi again
Whats interesting is that hamachi doesn’t require an account on linux
lol I tried all sorts of things before I heard of Tailscale. It's been my goto for a couple years now
Yeah I thought it was gatekept for corpos when I went on the website. Glad to know its not that deep

You don't even have to put it on everything. You can setup a subnet router and access everything on your local network with their respective local IPs
Wait it says 3 users
Yeah but you can share nodes rather than allow users to have access to all devices
It's more secure that way anyways and you don't even have to mess with ACLs unless it's to block a specific port from whatever device you're sharing
I've only added my gf to my Tailnet but she's not very into networking (she's going for her PhD in Chemistry. It's not anything she'd need to know anyways lmao)
what is a normal temp for my game to run minecraft shaders at? im currently at 70-80 with rtx 2070 super
Which sensor is telling you that
Sheeesh
gotta do melee for the new melee's coming out
sell for high plat
stonks
or the weird tentacle pistol thats coming out 
That sounds either like your hot spot temperature or you need to repaste the GPU
Unless you don't have a fan curve set on it
I found out its not my cable thats an issue, nor my headset, its my pc that keeps doing this (i'm running a link cable and using it via meta-link)
But I have 0 idea why its doing this because my pc is 100% capable of running vr
i get I have bad wifi, but I doubt its the reason my headset has bad connection
I'm gonna try getting virtual desktop, and if that doesnt work then I need help with this
still not working, can someone send me a link to virtual desktop?
i have no idea why it wants to do this
@silent valve how do you like bdo? ive thought about playing but have heard there isnt much to do in endgame so i havent started
Must keep grinding life skills
Endgame combat wise? Afaik once you finish out getting PEN everything there's not much more you can do in pve, maybe more pvp stuff though
But you can always just keep grinding life skills
ahh ok, i appreciate that. that genre looks like its lacking currently choices are like either wow, wow classic, or OSRS for anything with decent players
Yea it's all grinding, the grind to endgame takes forever
hoping archeage chronicals is good.
wow
But how warm is the emissive light from the torches?
I find it pretty enjoyable and there is plenty do do. if you're looking for WoW style raids you won't find any but there are plenty of other end game PvM like thew world bosses, dark shrine bosses, guild bosses, and plenty of the areas scale well into the late game with insanely high requirements
though I do a lot of fishing and lifeskilling because that's quite enjoyable
hmm i might really look into this, ive really been trying to find a new game to play. i enjoy the MMO/RPG style games but it seems Lost ark died, as did New World. Ive played like 2200 hours of OSRS and WoW feels like way to much to learn
No clue never took a look yet
I just go on there in singleplayer to see if mods and shaders are working together
Still waiting on the gang to really start playing the server
its not exactly thriving 😄
is that bdo?
yes
last i checked its also heavily p2w
but i stopped paying attention to it many years ago
I think I read that they have new ownership so it’s not as bad but like that can just mean it’s 90% not 99% p2W
I’m thinking about trying enshrouded it seems pretty cool
Does anyone know if the worlds/servers repopulate in that game? Or are all dungeons 1 and done
I think I'll pick up enshrouded if it goes on sale during the spring sale
Probably zomboid too
Maybe raft or sons of the forest too
What a huge patch, especially to come out of blue like this. Let's dig into the upcoming April patch, including the new skins for elite units, castles, and monks, UI improvements, balance changes, and an announcement of FIVE new civilizations coming soon.
Full patch notes: https://www.ageofempires.com/news/a-sneak-peek-at-new-content-coming-to-...
new update is free ?
Word I think I’m gonna do the same
Instead of dlc

Europa Universalis IV
Looks interesting, worth starting now?
uhhhhh
Are you a masochist?
I have 1400+ hours and I still suck at the game
😭
So its a NOO?
Do you hate yourself
Because I do
Game also sucks without DLC so
Unless you're waiting to wait for a humble bundle with all the DLCs
No
Absolutely not
Valorant player here!! 😩🙏🏿
Uhm no then
Didn't they make a bunch of the early dlcs free
But yea it's a $5 game on sale right now, you can either do the subscription thing for the dlcs or wait for a bundle with all of the dlcs or get the starter pack
Base game with no dlcs is weird
Man I haven't even checked the steam sale yet
its one of the weaker ones, but there's some decent sales
Yeah
Rights of Man is free too which is very nice
The nice thing is if you play with someone else that has all dlcs you can use all of the features in that multiplayer game
I only have up to the dlc from the humble bundle pack
There's like 3 or 4 new dlcs since
Ofc I have now realised that paradox actually got me to spend more money on DLCs
Because now that I have so much content I keep up with DLCs
I keep spending more on hoi4 dlcs but I don't keep up with eu4 dlcs
Hoi4 is
Götterdämmerung was pretty good
But then the quality dipped
Honestly I'm playing Kaiserreich a bunch these days
I expected graveyard of empires to be better but it's still okay
It's just annoying they didn't rework Siam or anything else in the area while they're there
Idk I felt battle of the bosphorus was buggier lol
I hate the trees from that DLC
A lot of the focuses that relies on other countries were broken when that dropped
Only thing really broken in graveyard of empires is some Indian stuff and some of the faction joining focuses being broken
From my experience that is
Yeah but tbh with HOI4
Content is more limited
Since they have only 10 years to work with
Because in EU4 if you get screwed by RNG in multiplayer
Then it's not going to be a fun time
I really want to try vicky 2 multiplayer at some point
Yea too buggy and old for most people to want to do it though
Yeah it's a shame
It's got a die hard community so it's got some pretty good mp mods
But man
People do not want to play crashing and desyncing simulator
nvm I got killed by Bohemia
shadows getting mostly 8-9/10 across the board
GG
didnt realize people bought games through Wegg
That's gamer asf
Woot already playing AC Shadows
bro had to rotate his monitor so he could take the photo in portrait mode
I always love when people on a PC take photos with a phone
You get some funny results 💀

Bethesda probably: TES 6 coming 2039
theyll announce their oblivion remake first
I'd still buy that tbh
Tired of having to jump through hoops and whatever else to get the game running remotely decently
well if the rumors are true its being re-done in UE5, so it may run worse than the original
Obviously it would've ran bad regardless but bruhhhh why UE5 😭
Cheap outsourcing
And because its unreal engine bro
Everyone is on it man
Its the standard dude

less than 5 till start
this show is giving me quantity over quality vibes
not sure a single game looked appealing to me (my opinion)

This, too, is an xbox

the diplo has changed...
So didn’t see instructions to write RMA number on return box….will they still figure out the refund? Saw this message when checking return status on Website
tank nova go crazy. eso and i just stood in the middle of the rooms
new ephemeras go crazy with the techrot
the new coda weapons are insane with what you can do. im playing on saryn so i can add toxin to this as well
Has anyone played mass effect andromeda on a newer gpu?
Crashing? Try it on Linux
I’m almost serious. Most older games (in my experience) that crash a lot in Windows run great in Linux
Minecraft Ghast Lore wasn't on my 2025 Bingo List
epic gamer clutch in a game probably no one knows
WOTB
you got so lucky with that track on the obj
its not lucky though
you could have easily missed though
nah, thats a pretty easy shot
also lucky that, that dude was bad
the lucky part was he did not have a repair kit or the repair speed to repair it
yup
but you need luck to win games like this
he shouldnt have tried to push you from that angle lol
less than 100 hp vs ~4k HP
definitely
paradox AI moment
attacks fort
losing to inferior army
battle is getting reinforced
funniest way to get a nuke ever
COME TO BRAZIL
wtf
The irish loves brazil for some reason
France taking ages to sphere me
My soon to be country possibly
Bro
hehehe
should I be funny
the US has 33 brigades and I have 29
I have like no mil tech but I'm gonna go in anyways
WTF I'M WINNING
AHAHA THEY GOT WIPED
ok I got wiped
mil tech difference killed me
the AI probably rolled really bad in that first battle
it was a plains battle too they should've wiped me
Brazil has a 5 attack general for some reason
sad that I don't have enough literacy to catch up on mil tech
upon further inspection I realised that they also had a pure infantry army
while I had way better army comp
artillery absolutely shredded them

did you manage to drop it
yup
National confusion lmao
MORE CONFUSION
rate my map
GC is one of those countries that scale up in the mid-late game
if a european country comes here with a single stack I'm screwed
cuz I have pretty much no mil tech
The Belgians are probably gonna outscale me now that I think about it
they probably have higher literacy
AC Shadows 5120x1440p Max Setting with x3 Frame Gen and this is all I'm getting. Does this look right for a 5090?
Well, it's a new Ubisoft game, chances are it's buggy and unoptimized
Really hope thats not the case and its just my DLSS setup.

hmmm
if they have ironclads I'm screwed
but their navy is tiny
oh wait wtf they fell out of GP
Russians tried to invade me
get destroyed
Miracle on the Dneiper
wtf
Bohemia declared war on me
this is some partition of poland shenanigans
and I was just starting to have fun wiping these russian stacks
average poland experience
alright next time I play I'm switching strategies
mob stacks only
so I don't get screwed over by the early game brigade cap
and so I don't have to fight
will also have to rush medicine and mil tech
You can abuse cavalry stacks at the very start iirc
Are they more cost effective than arty?
I usually do 4 inf (mob)/1 cav/5 arty
The brigade cap is also due to the the fact that PLC starts with puppets and I need to take state and government before I can annex them
Since it's DoD I usually early war Scandinavia
For Latvia
it's for pre-arty lol
and afaik with mob stacks you should have more inf because they will die a lot quicker
Hmm
That's probably a really good strat for DoD tbh
Or just
Any country without a military industrial complex
Which is most of them
Early game reinforcement is pretty bad
cuz no industry
Unless it's like
A country that actually starts with a military industry
415 is great and very effective in a full stack but you're gonna be losing your arty and cav after like 1 or 2 good battles
