My 7950x3d 9070 xt

Gets like 120 in open areas

[warm stone]

XD

[charred nova]

Like 45 fps in towns

[warm stone]

yea im cooked

[stark crescent]

i changed my options to get atleast 60 fps all round.

but it suffers from texture shadowing because of that

[charred nova]

The game just runs like ass for everyone

[stark crescent]

yea. all you can do is change the options to the best possible and just enjoy the story.

[charred nova]

Good thing it’s getting upgraded

[lucid charm]

Wait are we getting a desert eagle? Or is that just a mod video

[charred nova]

I mean maybe but atm it’s a mod

[lucid charm]

Aw

Shame, had my hopes up

[modest brook]

Would be cool to get a desert eagle without mods

[charred nova]

Don’t slight bros deagle mod

It’s pretty good

[modest brook]

Fair point, it is pretty good

[meager crag]

It's just that it should've been in the game to begin with

Seen how it's also in the Trilogy

[charred nova]

And the f2000

And the an94 etc etc

[meager crag]

Etc. fr

That or they should've downgraded on a ton of stuff, seen some of the lore

Same goes with the population, but retcons do B wat it B

[static lark]

What’s our opinion on Ready or Not

[charred nova]

Don’t like mil sim games

[static lark]

Not a milsim

Technically a SWATsim

[charred nova]

Same thing

[static lark]

Special Weapons and Tactics

Not military

Although in the one DLC you’re doing stuff that IS NOT the job of SWAT

Why is SWAT trying to board a mega yacht owned by a Saudi prince. Sounds like the coast guards job to me

[static lark]

Why is SWAT boarding an Oil Platform that’s being held captive by terrorists. That’s sounds like the coast guards job to me

[charred nova]

Sounds like my job actually

[static lark]

Didn’t the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Navy crash into eachother while tryna chase down a like Indonesian boat in “disputed waters”

[charred nova]

Probably

[static lark]

Vietnam is awesome cause they went to war with both America and China won both wars and then unanimously agreed they hate China and that America is ok

The Vietnamese like absolutely hate China

[charred nova]

It’s hard to really hate Vietnam

They just do their own thing and want to be left alone

[static lark]

Also the whole war thing kinda created some of the coolest movies, music, military advancements, and clothing styles

[charred nova]

True

I mean you never see in the news that Vietnam is trying to take another group of peoples human rights away

[static lark]

Lets ally exclusively with Vietnam and when WW3 happens let’s give them a significant chunk of China

[charred nova]

China does that fairly often

[bold smelt]

vietnamese people are awesome
its just a shame that the government is still one of the most oppressive in the world

[static lark]

Just murdering more Uyghurs don’t mind me

[charred nova]

Another 50 concentration camps for our glorious leader

[charred nova]

It’s less oppressive than the ccp no?

[bold smelt]

less oppressive but still directly comparable

[static lark]

That’s a really low bar you know

[charred nova]

I mean sure

They are both communist nations

[static lark]

I think the only nation more oppressive is NK

[charred nova]

Er

I think there are a few other contenders down in sand land

[bold smelt]

russia:

[static lark]

Well yeah but if we’re talking commies

[bold smelt]

laos

[frigid hill]

penguan has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[charred nova]

What’s Laos even do

[static lark]

wow Asia just seems a lot like either oppression or hyper capitalism I can’t tell if I love it or hate it

[charred nova]

Btw try and post an embed

[bold smelt]

hmong genocide

[charred nova]

Typical communist stuff

[static lark]

Don’t ask China what happened April 15-June 4th 1989

[bold smelt]

taiwan and japan are a bit better than the rest but its mainly just those two

[static lark]

South Korea

Aka ROK

[bold smelt]

everytime i read about SK it sounds like some cyberpunk dystopia

[static lark]

Isn’t Taiwan officially the Republic of China

[bold smelt]

yes

[static lark]

Or are the they Democratic Republic of China

[charred nova]

Taiwan doesn’t really want to be China

Recent polls show the Chinese identity in Taiwan is starting to fade

[strong onyx]

ya dont say?

[bold smelt]

they are in a situation like south korea where even if they were given china for free they probably wouldnt want it because the cultural and historical divide is so vast now

[charred nova]

More people consider them selves to be Taiwanese and not Chinese

It’s not the majority yet but

It’s growing

[static lark]

Yeah do you guys ever think that NK will ever just stop existing

[charred nova]

Maybe someday

If they had a bad enough food shortage

[static lark]

Do you think SK will even wanna deal with that

[charred nova]

Probably

[charred nova]

Free land?

[bold smelt]

no

[static lark]

the millions no… billions of dollars you’d need to update the infrastructure to South Korean standards

[charred nova]

Imagine if North Korea just became a ruined failed state

That was just ruled by war lords

That’d be crazy

[dreamy dagger]

8 months of no Limansk

[bold smelt]

i remember my korean friend telling me about it and he said "if a giant famine or some disaster ended up tearing down the north korean government and the ROK was given control, they would probably just drop aid and say 'good luck'"

[static lark]

Jack post the picture of the Korean Peninsula from space where NK is pitch black and SK is lit like a Christmas tree

[bold smelt]

the cultural divide is pretty big now, down to the language

[charred nova]

Penguan can do it

I need him to do it to check it works

[static lark]

Don’t they speak the same language but it has different grammatical standards now

[static lark]

That’s not the picture I meant but ig that works

[bold smelt]

the alphabet is slightly different now too i think

[charred nova]

You can see it

[bold smelt]

i didnt know russia was that well lit out east

i was expecting it to be dark except for some large cities like novosibirsk

[static lark]

Also love how Mongolia is practically outlined

Is Mongolia really just like yak farmers and mountains

[bold smelt]

kinda

basically the entire sedentary population lives in 2 or 3 cities

[civic cosmos]

Decembrist exiles and soviet colonies

[bold smelt]

the rest of the country is wasteland or nomad territory

[static lark]

You know the -Stan’s are reasonably lit up besides Kazakstan

And Afghanistan it’s pretty dark

[bold smelt]

you can see kabul

[charred nova]

Officially Afghanistan has a gdp of 0

[static lark]

Vietnam and Cambodia are a bit darker than id expect

[static lark]

Well aren’t they like isolationist

[golden gulch]

I wonder if the "Binoculars" is referring to both the binocular and the ability to zoom scopes

[bold smelt]

why the hell is barrow so lit up

[static lark]

Barrow?

[bold smelt]

yeah

its one of the northernmost cities in the world, top of alaska you can see it

[static lark]

Tf is barrow

[charred nova]

The key word is officially

[static lark]

Oh yeah

[charred nova]

Afghanistan makes and sells tons of illegal drugs

[static lark]

Opium

[charred nova]

But obviously that doesn’t get recorded officially so

The official gdp is 0

[static lark]

Just say opium

[charred nova]

Pretty sure it’s other stuff too

But mostly like crack and opium

[static lark]

Did you see where they’re trying to get Americans to come for tourism

[charred nova]

I’ve heard

[static lark]

I’d go if I was less than 99% sure they were gonna chop my head off as soon as I got there

[charred nova]

It’s a shame cus Afghanistan is a very beautiful place

But well

I’m not really interested in being kidnapped for ransom

[static lark]

I assume the people aren’t so bad… just yk… the government

Usually how it works out for most things though

[bold smelt]

you could say that about basically any country including america

[static lark]

Yeah

[bold smelt]

except for some countries it's swapped

[static lark]

Like Canada

[charred nova]

Nah

[static lark]

(This is a joke)

[charred nova]

We know a guy who is marrying his way out of Canada

[static lark]

What’s our opinion on France

[charred nova]

They are funny people

Who will vandalize the entire country to protest radar systems to ticket people

[bold smelt]

im sure their stereotypes arent all that true, including having good food because their cuisine is ass

[smoky hawk]

France is great country, except for Paris

[bold smelt]

i have a relative living in a norman chateau

[static lark]

That’s how it goes for every nations with a popular big city

Like New York is hot garbage

[bold smelt]

ive always wanted to go to france with him but i dont want to shit in an outhouse

[bold smelt]

chiraq

[static lark]

They still don’t have indoor toilets?

[bold smelt]

the chateau is a few hundred years old

[static lark]

That’s Chicago… and actually from what I hear Chicago is getting better surprisingly

[charred nova]

Boston isn’t so bad

[static lark]

Idk what they define “better” as but yk

[charred nova]

It’s relatively clean

Doesn’t have a ton of homeless people

[bold smelt]

milwaukee

[static lark]

I have heard that Boston is one of the better cities

I remember when Atlanta wasn’t that bad

Now Atlanta is just a GTA Online Server

[bold smelt]

ive heard horror stories about atlanta traffic

[static lark]

Apparently New Orleans sucks

Nashville is nice I’ve been through there a couple times

Most of Florida is just owned by Disney so it’s ok I guess

[hallow shadow]

Atlanta is an absolute nightmare.
It’s on the opposite end of the state, from me.
But I occasionally end up going that way.

[charred nova]

Yah like it’s not a perfect city sometimes homeless man shits on the stairs to the subway or something it happens haha

[static lark]

Just have your own car

[bold smelt]

this is written like a haiku

[static lark]

Haikus make no sense

Poetry makes no sense just write what you’re trying to say like a normal person

[charred nova]

One of the cms is actually from Atlanta

Or not from but

He lives there

[static lark]

My condolences

[bold smelt]

music stanzas are poetry

[harsh jungle]

I’ve been to Boston a couple times only for a convention tho

[static lark]

Good thing idk what stanza means

[bold smelt]

the words

[hallow shadow]

You’d never be catching me up that far north if I don’t have to… Blegh

[harsh jungle]

it’s the only time I get to go wearing funny costume in public

[hallow shadow]

But is he smart enough to translate them?
Realize what songs are about?

[hallow shadow]

I just wish it were a little warmer.

I know spring and summer are no joke. Still.

[charred nova]

Pax east

[hallow shadow]

Their Fall/Winter is intimidating.

[harsh jungle]

Anime Boston actually

[charred nova]

God damn

[hallow shadow]

I used to live on the Pax. That lake effect suuuuucks.

[charred nova]

Pax east is an event

[harsh jungle]

I might make something else to add to my cosplay that I’ve done the past couple years

[static lark]

I was about to say I don’t think Pax is a lake

[hallow shadow]

I thought we were talking about the Patuxent River

[static lark]

Cause they have pax west in LA

[chilly bloom]

I used to live over there and now im over here

[charred nova]

No pax east is a gaming convention

[static lark]

Be one fat ass lake to go from Boston to LA

[harsh jungle]

fr

[charred nova]

How about a road

An autobahn if you will

[hallow shadow]

Oooooops.
I just woke up. Sorry.

[bold smelt]

translating music can be a headache sometimes

[chilly bloom]

Someone said that they should build a bridge to alaska which is a bad idea

[static lark]

I know what music means, I just think making up words to try and seem smart about musical composition is dumb

But I’ve never been particularly artistic

[hallow shadow]

I’m so glad I never got stationed in Alaska.

That sounds like ass.

[harsh jungle]

I think I might tbh since I don’t want to bring that cardboard ahh sword

[bold smelt]

i remember for a few songs id try translating them and then find out the song had no deeper meaning

[charred nova]

Giving current global politics

I don’t think it would be no

[hallow shadow]

Some songs really just be booty jigglers.

[charred nova]

Russia blows up the 30 billion dollar bridge

Rip in the chat

[chilly bloom]

Fair

[static lark]

I was in a different server and there was this dude who swore that it’d be a great idea to make a bridge go from Corpus Christi Texas to Tampa Florida

[chilly bloom]

And also upkeep

[bold smelt]

i remember led zeppelin saying that stairway to heaven had no deeper meaning even though the song REALLY sounds like it does

[chilly bloom]

Wha thats even worse

Traffic, upkeep, and crashes

[hallow shadow]

That old dad-rock stuff is ass, though.
I wouldn’t blame anyone for avoiding it.

[static lark]

Yeah idk why you’d want that but this dude swore it’d be a great idea

[chilly bloom]

I have a weird not really a friend in texas so i dont want him coming over here

[charred nova]

But

[hallow shadow]

I couldn’t imagine a GULF bridge.

[charred nova]

If they built an autobahn in America

[static lark]

Hurricanes would be the biggest issue unironically.
“Yeah let’s build a fat ass bridge straight through the gulf”

[charred nova]

I’d donate my own money to that

please government

We need this

[static lark]

THE AUTOBAHN ISNT SPECIAL ITS JUST A HIGHWAY WITH NO SET SPEED LIMIT

[chilly bloom]

Wdym hurricanes def wont destroy that theyre respectable

[charred nova]

Exactly

That’s what makes it special

[bold smelt]

people will say shit like this but then useful bridges like the mackinac werent built for a century

[chilly bloom]

The autobahn is a good idea but american drivers SUUUUUUCK

[hallow shadow]

It’s a two lane highway. In some places.

No real speed limit, BUT, if you’re going over a certain speed.
You’re at fault.

[bold smelt]

we need a train system to get people off the roads

and make driving easier for me

[hallow shadow]

Mass transit.

[static lark]

Trains won’t work in America. Too many mountains.

[hallow shadow]

So these auto companies can start feeling it.

[bold smelt]

switzerland has a fine train system and the entire country is mountains

[static lark]

If standard pacific really thought trains was worth going coast to coast they’d make more of them

[chilly bloom]

Trains and bikes are the most efficient way of driving since trains are hard to crash and bikes are harder to crash into eachother and will let you work out

[hallow shadow]

Bro said mountains like we don’t have explosives and tunnels.
Fool.

[bold smelt]

also im not saying like intercontinental railways

[static lark]

Switzerland is also ~16k square miles while America is ~3.8 million square miles

[bold smelt]

we just need more regional railways

[charred nova]

I don’t care if I die

If I died going 200mph

[graceful dirge]

#💬┃en_offtop smh this is why nobody is able to continue dialogue from a previous moment because the chat gets filled with this no offense, but we literally have a place for such dialogue why not keep this STALKER

[hallow shadow]

I bicycle crash doesn’t usually kill or maim.

[charred nova]

I died happy

[bold smelt]

the country is completely devoid of regional railways, we only have national ones

[hallow shadow]

I wanna say it’s like… Anything over 135KPH is your fault.

[chilly bloom]

Oh yeaaaaaaaah i forgot about that

[static lark]

We have environmental protections, native reserves, and national parks that stop us from just blowing mountains up

Thank God for Teddy Roosevelt

[hallow shadow]

But it’s been… 2017, since I’ve seen Germany.

[chilly bloom]

Do yall wanna go to off topic before the mods thanos snap us

[static lark]

Jack is a mod

[hallow shadow]

Jack?

[bold smelt]

this is true but like
my state NEEDS rail

it can MAKE rail work fine, even in the bluffs

[hallow shadow]

Or that green guy?
I see his LFGs on Xbox.

[chilly bloom]

Yeah still

[bold smelt]

im honorary mod

[static lark]

He doesn’t care but Jack is also probably the worst moderator I’ve ever seen on discord. No offense to him

[bold smelt]

they want to make me mod but i dont want to be active enough to be one

[hallow shadow]

I have the time, and such.
I just.
I’ve got a record.

[chilly bloom]

Yunno hes gonna appear just to mute you

[static lark]

Jack wants to make me a mod cause we have autism fueled car talks

[static lark]

He doesn’t care

[chilly bloom]

Fair

[hallow shadow]

Wait. Where did Bro go? I thought he wanted to talk Stalker?

[static lark]

I use Cheez-it as a slur just for jack

[chilly bloom]

Aw man im getting hungry i gotta get out of bed instead of talking infrastructure

[bold smelt]

i kinda want to be mod for the color but at the same time itd be funnier if i made it to legend rank without ever being mod

[hallow shadow]

Cheez it?
Call him a RITZ

[chilly bloom]

Maaaaan :<

[hallow shadow]

Or…
CHICKEN IN A BUSCUIT

[harsh jungle]

I got a maybe for being mod lol

[static lark]

This is literally half the song btw

[chilly bloom]

I have to get up and be a member of society so seeya guys

[bold smelt]

they need to bring back the golden age of stoc memes

[harsh jungle]

I’m probably not autistic enough

[bold smelt]

when it was literally just reposts for months straight

[hallow shadow]

I really wish I had the Mod color. Honestly.
Mewtwo is purple.

[static lark]

I think the only criteria for mod in this server is mass amounts of autism and uncontempt with world governments

[hallow shadow]

Discontent?

This wouldn’t happen if you read poetry.

[charred nova]

That’s something an autistic person would say

[harsh jungle]

I have huge amounts of autism and some discontent

[harsh jungle]

ya got me, I’m autistic

[hallow shadow]

Saaaaame!

[static lark]

Seems like autism to me

Discord is just a cesspit of autism

[bold smelt]

im not very autistic in this server

[hallow shadow]

It’s hard to not be..

For me, at least.

[harsh jungle]

I think I’m autistic enough in this server but if I gotta act more autistic I will

[austere pagoda]

quick psa if u dont follow my channels: my alife mods work with 1.5.3

[static lark]

I feel bad for Streloks hairline

[hallow shadow]

I thought yours or Kazz’s channel disappeared.

But thank you. Information is information.

[harsh jungle]

at this rate bro is going bald

[charred nova]

Yah me too

[static lark]

Wym going bald he’s already been half bald he has a worse hairline than Walton Goggings

he’ll yea

yk what I was trying to type

[static lark]

Who made the scopeless mosin mod

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhb your physics mods.
HELL YEAH

[harsh jungle]

guys I think Strelok has the tism

[static lark]

Skif is definitely autistic

[harsh jungle]

I def think Strelok is autistic

[static lark]

you guys like Lemonade?

[hallow shadow]

I heard you like Mudkips.

[harsh jungle]

maybe Deggy too but I’m not 100 percent sure

[hallow shadow]

Richter.

[static lark]

Did you know lemons aren’t naturally occurring but they’re a cross breed between multiple different originating citrus fruits

[hallow shadow]

Richter has a lovely dose of Tism

[static lark]

Lemonade is muttfruit water

[harsh jungle]

maybe a good chunk of the people in the zone have the Tism

[hallow shadow]

I’m sure you’d have, to go into the Zone.

[static lark]

Or you just really want your house back

[ancient lion]

https://tenor.com/view/awesome-roosevelt-gif-7776148

[hallow shadow]

“But the Zone is dangerous!”
“…No. just spicy science”

[harsh jungle]

that means deggy’s probably autistic too

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t met them, yet.
I just unlocked the option to go to SIRCAA

[harsh jungle]

no I’m not elaborating

[hallow shadow]

But now, I’m cavorting in the Western Zone.

[harsh jungle]

you meet Deggy near the end of the game

[hallow shadow]

Oh shucks.

[ancient lion]

And now i'm looking for Strelok

[harsh jungle]

75 percent of the protags are autistic coded

[hallow shadow]

I wanna know who that Mr House lookin dude was, in the bunker with Faust.
Down in Swamps.

[harsh jungle]

Mr House’s uncle, Mr. condominium

[hallow shadow]

The green projection?

[harsh jungle]

yea

that’s Mr. Condominium

[ancient lion]

C-Con merged con

[hallow shadow]

Time to expose him, to open air, too.

[ripe falcon]

That was Strider

[harsh jungle]

no it’s Mr Condominium

[hallow shadow]

Daaaaaang.

[ripe falcon]

"Alive but lost" comments Fausts when he comes up

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhh that makes more sense.
I didn’t see the faces change, before that.

Skif was darting around with his eyes and pistol.

[umbral tangle]

Ngl , crippling the graphics and making it look grimey takes me back tbh

This is gonna sound bad but I kinda liked the options in setting for anomaly , especially the weather settings where you could choose how frequently weather events happen or if it should be rainy or sunny all the time

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/bromance-sig-curtis-alex-louis-armstrong-fullmetal-fma-gif-18194534

[hallow shadow]

The BEST dudes

I love Major Armstrong.

That anime is a classic.
I always recommend it for first timers.
FMA: Brotherhood, and OG Trigun.

[shrewd needle]

Hey, do all 3 game slots share save-games?

[ripe falcon]

What do you mean by that?

[shrewd needle]

The game has 3 slots you can start in, right? So I'm asking if each slot has it's own save or do they all share slots.

[ripe falcon]

Each slot has its own saves.

A limited amound of them, in fact. And if you want to start a new game, you have to choose a slot and all previous saves within this slot will be deleted.

[shrewd needle]

Right, that's what I wanted to know.

[shrewd needle]

Eh, I got that modification that allows 10,000 saves or something, so the number of saves isn't an issue, but if the saves are shared, I'll be screwed.

So asking.

[ripe falcon]

I didn't know there was such a modification

[ripe falcon]

you can make a backup just in case

[shrewd needle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/255

[weary forge]

I hope stalker 2 adds the rank system from previous stalker games

[ripe falcon]

I wish we would have unlimited saves and the ability to name saves

[weary forge]

like Rookie | Experienced | Professional | Veteran | Expert

[ripe falcon]

the system exists but it's not communicated to the player

[shrewd needle]

Same. Old games were so much superior in this case...save anywhere, any time (even in combat, because PHUCK being unable to save in combat) and the saves would restore game exactly as you'd saved them...

[weary forge]

yeah

[ripe falcon]

Yeah, I lost so many hours replaying parts because of the lack of this system

[shrewd needle]

Modern gaming decisions... 😔

[ripe falcon]

GSC said it's not a priority

[charred nova]

Studio bones version is fine but it’s kinda weird

Idk if you ever watched it but

The ending and the movie are just bad

[weary forge]

not communicated to the player mhmmmmmm

[ripe falcon]

By that I mean that the ranks exist in the coding, NPCs have ranks and Skif also upgrades his rank throughout the story

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t sat down and watched it.
I saw the art style change..
That doesn’t bother me, I just hope they didn’t rewrite the characters, when they were redrawn.

The Movie? With the redhead lady? Could’ve been better.

I always go back and shave Autosaves.

[charred nova]

They did

[hallow shadow]

Bethesda taught me better.
I cannot afford save bloat.

I have maybe two autosaves, and my one save.

[charred nova]

Cus it’s the original version

Basically

The manga was running slow

[weary forge]

I want it like the previous games

[charred nova]

So studio bones took what they had

And made their own story

[hallow shadow]

We talking about Trigun? And the ugly Zoomer Vash?

[bold smelt]

i think i sprained my ankle by hitting it really hard with a 2x4

[ripe falcon]

maybe it can still happen

[charred nova]

The story ends with our main characters in Nazi germany

I’m not joking

[hallow shadow]

A sprain is an over extension.

You may have possibly bruised the bone.

[charred nova]

I’m not gonna tell you how it happens

It so bad

But you gotta watch it

[weary forge]

they are finally adding the binoculars according to the roadmap

[ripe falcon]

Yes, I know

[bold smelt]

whenever i squeeze it, it hurts like paralyzingly bad

[hallow shadow]

Conqueror of Shambala? Fullmetal Alchemist?
That movie takes place after the series.

[hallow shadow]

But did you hit it, or bend it the wrong way?

[bold smelt]

hit it

[charred nova]

I’m talking about the 2003 studio bones version

[hallow shadow]

Sounds like a bruised bone.
You’d have to like.. Over extend/roll your ankle. That’s a sprain.

I recommend ice.

[charred nova]

And yah

I think that’s the movie

[hallow shadow]

Go grab a ziplock baggie, slap some ice in it.

[charred nova]

I forget what it’s called

I just thought the movie was hilariously bad

[hallow shadow]

You mad me mixed up on Trigun or FMA.

Both have been redone.

[charred nova]

Fmab master piece

One of the greatest pieces of media ever

The studio bones version is well

It’s still pretty good but

Once they start making their own story

They take some interesting directions

[hallow shadow]

I had a buddy (we got out of the army, and moved to Florida) who hated anime. Thought it was for kids.

Until I gave him two tabs of acid, and watched FMA:B

He never talked shit on anime again.

[hallow shadow]

Hold some ice to it. Reduce the swelling. You’ll have a mighty bruise, soon.

[charred nova]

One of the greats

It’s even written by a women to make the inclusivity crowd happy

[hallow shadow]

I’d tell you to wrap it, but. You didn’t bend it funny.

[charred nova]

Hahahaha

[hallow shadow]

I did the same to him, with Trigun.

Awww man. I have to go in public… Go get jugs of water for my water machine.

I remember when Ghost in the Shell came out.
I was way too young for it. But I was there.

[charred nova]

Cowboy bebop

Is another good one

Masterus embedus allawus I cast my spell on you

It’s not the manual that’s the issue

It’s the rotary that is

(Cause they’re unreliable and goofy)

[charred nova]

They are 2 strokes

[charred nova]

They aren’t reliable stock

If you run them like 2 stroke much more reliable

[static lark]

Mfw I buy a brand new car and have to upgrade it to make it not kill itself

No one disagreed on the goofy part

[stark crescent]

Fixed an issue where bloodsuckers could spawn in large groups and too often.

which ffer reported this as an issue? this is the freaking zone! we dont hold hands and sing kumbaja!!!!

[static lark]

Idk I did encounter a few areas where like 6 bloodsuckers would spawn on top of eachother

[stark crescent]

thats called a feature

[echo nimbus]

Mutant part farming

[harsh jungle]

its not a bug, its a ✨ feature✨

[shell flax]

Now buff bloodsuckers

[static lark]

I don’t like how the mutants don’t always drop parts

[charred nova]

Not upgrade downgrade

[echo nimbus]

Maybe not

[charred nova]

You remove the metering pump

Or

[static lark]

I get why they don’t but like… what makes it where I can harvest this snork and not that snork

[static lark]

If it makes the vehicle better then it’s an UPgrade

[meager crag]

Yes, make them invincible when they're invisible, just like Clear Sky

[stark crescent]

the face

[static lark]

Even if it’s removing something from the vehicle

[charred nova]

On fc rx7 you can install a dedicated 2 stroke oil pump

Where there is a tank full of 2 stroke oil

[meager crag]

It's up to the RNG Gods

[charred nova]

It reuses the stock metering pump

[static lark]

Mfw I wake up to go to work but I forgot to refill my oil reservoir so my car just dies

Free day off ig

Also don’t have a car anymore but yk silver linings

[stark crescent]

those stupid devs. ive send in a question. why too many bloodsuckers is deemed an issue, and not a feature.

[static lark]

Talking about oil I need to do an oil change on my Bronco

I’ll do that at some point

[charred nova]

Well if you drive it to work everyday you dumb as heck

But if you do it right

You remap the low oil light

[static lark]

What’s the point of a car if I cannae drive to work and to the store

[charred nova]

To that tank

[stark crescent]

why does your car not have oil to begin with...

[charred nova]

Rotaries burn oil

By design

They need 2 separate oils

Crank case oil

And 2 stroke combustion oil

[stark crescent]

rotaries? dude got an rx-8 or what?

[static lark]

Cause this dingus is trying to convince me that a engine type KNOWN for being horribly unreliable is a great engine

Rotaries are neat mechanically speaking but I am never gonna buy a rotary

[stark crescent]

you shouldnt

i mean, i heard mazda is working again on making a rotary engine work, but not much progress

[static lark]

I might buy that Porsche that has a freakin jet engine in it though

[stark crescent]

i wanna buy a porsche 918 spyder one time. or pagani zonda, but thats even more of a dream than the porsche

[static lark]

Pretty sure it was either Chrysler or Ford who also made another Jet-Car in the 50s/60s

[charred nova]

They just have rules

You play the rules and have a good time

If you don’t your engine explodes

Simple as

[vestal hamlet]

yo I wanna ask something about stalker 2 I cant reload while I was running is it feature or bug

[static lark]

Until it dies after 75k miles cause it’s a triangle trying to make a rotation

[static lark]

What gun

[stark crescent]

did you update to 5.3?

[charred nova]

Any well maintained rotary will last way longer than that

[vestal hamlet]

I didn't play since like june

[static lark]

“Well maintained” aka Pedigreed

[charred nova]

Not really bruh

You just gotta put 2 stroke oil in it

[static lark]

I am a strong supporter of make everything as simple as it can be so that even idiots can use it

[charred nova]

Not exactly the most demanding task

[vestal hamlet]

I almost all of them I think

[charred nova]

Well rotaries are not this so I’ll give you that

They are simple to repair

But not designed for idiots

[static lark]

Not a good design

Let’s look at the Toyota 22r

Toyota shoulda made a 22r-GTE

[vestal hamlet]

did they fixed that in 5.3

[charred nova]

I mean it has design advantages

Plenty of them

[static lark]

Can it be used by an Islamic extremist

[charred nova]

Highest power to weight ratio you can get from a gas engine for example

1200 hp from 1.3l

[static lark]

But can it be used by an Islamic extremist

In a desert

[static lark]

That’s not power to weight btw that’s power to displacement

[charred nova]

I’m well aware

That’s just example of what people achieved using rotaries

But for perspective

The rx7 fd engine

With turbos

Weighs less than the 1.8l engine in the Miata

[static lark]

Top fuel dragsters make up to 12,000hp with a 500 cubic inch V8

[charred nova]

Sure

[charred nova]

Basically rotaries are cool and so offer advantages in certain areas obviously they aren’t perfect but people massively over hype how unreliable they are

[steel yoke]

It was always so, moreover when you start running, reloading stops.

[charred nova]

They don’t make them anymore due to emissions

[vestal hamlet]

thats so annoying I don't remember that problem in old stalker games

[hallow shadow]

I mean… I have reloaded a SAW while sprinting for my life.
But I must say…
Slapping a mag in an AR, and hitting the bolt-release is too easy.

I understand why some games don’t include sprint-reloads, I just…
They should just take a little longer.

Extend the animation, include some fumbling around.

[charred nova]

I mean can’t you stick an ar mag in a saw

[stark crescent]

I think 5.3 might ave caused it beo

I never heard of such a bug before. Might as well be introduced now

[hallow shadow]

Yeah, but. That’s not recommended.
You pull that trigger, and spring will push all 30 rounds out.

Standard 30-Round Burst.

[charred nova]

Oh

No 60 round double stack mags

[hallow shadow]

You only slap a mag in a SAW if you want to see how fast 30 rounds can fly at once.

[stark crescent]

I dont think saw is a weapon that can accept a mag unless you use an adapter

[hallow shadow]

You’d think wrong.

[stark crescent]

I think alot of things

[static lark]

That’s obvious

[hallow shadow]

The M249 has a built-in mag-well.

It’s not recommended, but it’s there.

[stark crescent]

Uhmm.

M249....im gonna ask. Wasnt a saw a saw? Or is the m249 designated as a saw

[charred nova]

I mean isn’t the m60 also a saw

[hallow shadow]

The M249 is the American military nomenclature for the Squad Automatic Weapon

[static lark]

Saw is just a designation

[hallow shadow]

M60 pre-dates the saw, and the Pig, if I remember, uses different ammo.

[stark crescent]

I feel like such an idiot rn

[hallow shadow]

I’ve never used one.
M60 is now the M240B

[charred nova]

It uses battle rifle rounds

[static lark]

The M249 is the FN Minimi

[hallow shadow]

STANAGs are designed for closed-bolt weapon systems.

Machine-guns are generally open-bolt.

[hallow shadow]

7.62?
Like the M240B

[static lark]

It just uses rifle cartridges instead of intermediate cartridges

[hallow shadow]

But the Mk48 is just a SAW, chambered in 7.62, instead of 5.56

[stark crescent]

Ohio Ordnance HCAR is the weapon is was thinking of. Sorry.

M249 is the saw

[static lark]

5.56, 5.45, 7.62x39 are all intermediate cartridges. 7.62x51, 7.62x54r, 7.92x57 are all full power rifle cartridges

[hallow shadow]

Until they come flying your way, it’s all a bunch of fire.
But yeah.

But the open/closed-bolt issue remains.

I don’t recommend sticking your AR mags in a SAW.
It’s not what they’re for.

[stark crescent]

There was a better one tho. German mg 5

[static lark]

The MG3 is just a MG42 but in 308/7.62x51

[hallow shadow]

I’m biased.
There is not LMG superior to my SAW.

[stark crescent]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_MG5

[hallow shadow]

That looks like an M240B, but different.
I didn’t read, I just looked at photo.
Is that 7.62x39?

[static lark]

That’s just a German M240

[stark crescent]

51

[hallow shadow]

Nope. X51

[stark crescent]

Should use 7.92 honestly. For old times sake

[hallow shadow]

It’s open bolt, too.

Also has adjustable gas like the 240

[static lark]

Not even the MG3 uses 7.92 cause 7.92 is rimmed and it sucks to eject

Oh nvm I was wrong 7.92 isn’t rimmed

In reality it’s just easier to make all the guns that NATO use shoot the same 3 rounds

[hallow shadow]

But I couldn’t say it’s “better”, in my opinion.

[static lark]

9x19, 5.56x45, 7.62x51

[stark crescent]

It sucks doesnt it. Here i wanna shoot a huge rifle cartridge and i cant cause nato uses puny tiny baby bullets

[hallow shadow]

Shoots a bigger bullet.
Means the platform, and all of its ammo are heavier.
Probably not something I would appreciate carrying.

[chilly bloom]

What are we arguing about

[static lark]

7.62 is literally only .3 smaller than 7.92

[chilly bloom]

I wanna join

[static lark]

It has very little difference when yk shooting it at someone from a LMG

[hallow shadow]

Bigger isn’t always better.
Imagine carrying that stuff around.

[static lark]

Especially since LMGs as I understand them are mostly for enemy suppression instead of actually like stacking bodies

[chilly bloom]

Ive held a real pkm its not that bad

[stark crescent]

Bigger is always better, brother

[static lark]

PKM is 7.62x54r

[chilly bloom]

Yeah

[hallow shadow]

“Most casualty producing weapons”, but yes, Laz.
They are suppressing fire. Not direct fire.

[chilly bloom]

The weight lowers recoil while still blowing off arms

[hallow shadow]

Sounds like you’ve never been shot, and hand to haul ass with an LMG in your hands.

[chilly bloom]

Machine guns are supposed to be big and heavy to lower recoil

[static lark]

If 7.92 was better im sure NATO would have standardized it over 7.62x51

[hallow shadow]

LMGs are designed to be mobile machine guns, without a tripod or a mount.

[chilly bloom]

Calm tf down general patton

[stark crescent]

The mg34 and m42 might have been able to fire fast, but the operators were taught trigger discipline. Firing 5 bullets per burst. A lmg/hmg was meant to provide support after all

[static lark]

Yeah that’s what we just said it’s to suppress the enemy

[hallow shadow]

5-7 round bursts.

[static lark]

You can’t get shot at if they are too scared to pop their heads up

[chilly bloom]

Ww1 lore

[static lark]

That’s literally where/when LMGs were invented so yeah

[stark crescent]

Wrong

[chilly bloom]

Someone got mad at me in a roblox game because i was using an lmg to shoot across the map

[hallow shadow]

Depending on the LMG, and what optic is on it.
You can.

[chilly bloom]

Ik

[static lark]

I mean if Carlos Hathcock can use a M2 to snipe Vietnamese why can’t you

[hallow shadow]

I deployed with a SAW and a 4x optic.
I had control of the field.

[chilly bloom]

Because its a crappy roblox game

Im happy i uninstalled

[shrewd needle]

I hate Bloodsuckers and their stun-locking attacks... 😡

[hallow shadow]

Put it on semi, and a nice optic. Yes. You can snipe with an M2

[chilly bloom]

Been there

[stark crescent]

Lmg's were first extensively used during the boshin war, where japanese government forces were aided by usa to subdue the samurai clans

[hallow shadow]

Gatling guns ≠ LMG

[static lark]

The first light machine gun (LMG) was the Danish Madsen LMG, which entered production in 1902. It was the first LMG adopted by military forces and saw action in various conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.

Literally a 3 second google search

[chilly bloom]

Oh yeah the temu bren as my friends call it

[static lark]

Fun fact it’s not said “mad-sen” it’s said “massen”

But they’re Danish and goofy so

[hallow shadow]

The Danes go hard.

[static lark]

Gatling guns are actually considered field artillery iirc

[hallow shadow]

By virtue of not being able to be shoulder or hip fired, they’re definitely not LMGs.
I dunno the rest.

[static lark]

At least they were when they were used they’re considered museum pieces now

[frigid hill]

jeruzalemisreal has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[chilly bloom]

Oooooo someones in trouble

[hallow shadow]

Modern Gatlings are almost always mounted.

[static lark]

Like GPMGs?

[stark crescent]

F google results,.boss. the boshin wars was where they were first widely used

[hallow shadow]

Gatlings aren’t LMGs.

[stark crescent]

They are!

[hallow shadow]

They got wheeled in.

[static lark]

The Boshin wars were in the 1860s that’s before smokeless powder was even used

[chilly bloom]

Fight fight fight fight fight

[hallow shadow]

That’s not light.
That’s a fixed platform. A mount.

[shrewd needle]

Start of the game too...getting knocked around is unfunny as shit.

[static lark]

Behind horses I might add

[stark crescent]

Then. Hmg

[hallow shadow]

That first Bloodsucker is a chore, dude.

[chilly bloom]

Just get used to it the game bs's a lot of stuff

[static lark]

A HMG can still generally be carried by at least a team of men

[stark crescent]

Just shoot thst bloodsucker with all you got. You lose all your stuff later on anyway

[hallow shadow]

More specifically, an M2 crew with a tripod.

[static lark]

It took literal horses and carriages to carry Gatling Guns

[hallow shadow]

Still not an LMG, though.

[shrewd needle]

I'm aware; I'm saying that I hate the stun-lock...getting knocked down and getting slashed = just dead.

[stark crescent]

Then just fight thst first bloodsucker on east

[hallow shadow]

I’m a cheaty little shit, and I have the CJ Bloodsucker mod.
They’re not invisible.

[chilly bloom]

All you have to do to kill the bloodsucker is beat the game and use a gauss rifle on it and then you can progress in the story after it

[chilly bloom]

Same

[static lark]

The mutants overall are very spongy for no reason

Or they act like crackheads in the Blind Dogs case

[serene barn]

pretty sure Gatling Guns is like it's own type of thing. a Light Machine Gun is stuff like belt feds or guns with longer barrels sometimes than an AR from what i've seen. the MG34/42/3 is all Light Machine Guns but something like the M2 Browning is iirc a HMG no?

[stark crescent]

Miniguns are gatling guns

[chilly bloom]

Wdym radiation doesnt give you cancer it strenghtens you

[hallow shadow]

Which are not LMGs

[stark crescent]

Make it light enough its an lmg

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I just remained behind a wall to avoid it next time.

[static lark]

They’re not light though… they were carried by horses

[shrewd needle]

Very CJ.

[hallow shadow]

Once I pick up the artifact, I sprint back to the bunker door.
This funnels the Bloodsucker to right in front of me.
Hope this helps.

[serene barn]

someone posted a link earlier to what was it? an MG5? that thing looks like something i remember seeing in CoD MW2 or MW but the remakes. but it also reminds me a little of the MG4 which is also cool as shit.

[stark crescent]

You guys are looking at it too technical

[shrewd needle]

Carry them like Hans Grosse did in Wolfenstein... 😏

[stark crescent]

The idea of the lmg started during the boshin war.

[shrewd needle]

Same.

[hallow shadow]

“By definition” is not too technical.
It’s correct.

[static lark]

Even the first real Machinegun can’t be called a LMG no matter how much I like Maxim

[shrewd needle]

Maxim is basically HMG?

[chilly bloom]

Yeah

[static lark]

Hiram Maxim my love

[shrewd needle]

Then what we debating?

[hallow shadow]

The Master Chief, picking up a Warthog turret is still not an LMG.

[stark crescent]

Im drunk. Dont ask me

[serene barn]

The Maxim Gun is classed as a Heavy Machine Gun.

[shrewd needle]

I figured you took a few shots of Cossacks a bit too much.

[stark crescent]

What can i do. Im depressed. My p addiction isnt working out. Thought i would try out something new.

[hallow shadow]

I just unlocked SIRCAA!
Ya boy is mid-game, now!

[hallow shadow]

Have you tried Shrooms?

[shrewd needle]

Now it gets worse. Well...after the experiment, not just yet.

[hallow shadow]

Helps me. I’m depressed as hell.

[stark crescent]

Im dutch. Of course i have

[static lark]

Dude above is saying LMGs were first used in the Boshin wars in Japan in the 1860s even though

#1 Machine Guns hadn’t been invented yet

#2 The Gatling Gun was carried via carriage behind horses

[chilly bloom]

Im sorry for whats about to happen

[shrewd needle]

Wouldn't the Maxim count as a Machine Gun? Heavy, but still.

[static lark]

The game gets infinitely worse

[hallow shadow]

Oh shucks.

[chilly bloom]

Mhm

[static lark]

The Maxim machine gun was invented in the 1880s specifically 1884

[hallow shadow]

Specifically, the origin of light machine guns.

[shrewd needle]

NGL, this doesn't even list any machine guns:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boshin_War?useskin=vector#Individual_guns

[hallow shadow]

Bro watched “The Last Samurai”, and got confused.

[shrewd needle]

He's right, though; machine guns weren't used in the Boshin.

[hallow shadow]

Still weren’t LMGs.

[stark crescent]

I took 2 asperine before i started drinking so i can still talk clearly. But im gonna regret it in the morning

[hallow shadow]

The meds come after the drink, friend.
I hope your stomach is strong.

[serene barn]

i still wish they'd have made the RPD functional.

[static lark]

Yeah cause they hadn’t been invented yet

[serene barn]

i heard it was practically fully fleshed out, i wonder why they didn't make it usable and just removed it instead

[hallow shadow]

I wish more merchants had this Dnipro 7.62 ammo.
This x39 stuff?

[junior lava]

Sooner or later, a firefighter's work transitions from action to well-deserved retirement. Perhaps I have fulfilled my role. Time will tell. Thank you very much for your kind words

[static lark]

It’s actually insane that Hiram Maxim made not only a machine gun at that time where most everyone was still using muskets. But he made a working BLACK POWDER machine gun

[serene barn]

didn't they remove that ammo entirely

[shrewd needle]

Then Gatling refined it. Then it got forgotten till the M61 Vulcan.

[hallow shadow]

I’ve got 300rnds in my stash.

[shrewd needle]

I thought so too, but him and others said it's still there.

[chilly bloom]

Yeah same

[hallow shadow]

But it’s the only 300 I’ve ever found.
No trader has it.

[shrewd needle]

Maybe the only 300 that haven't been removed.

[static lark]

Which black powder did get thrown away like immediately after the Maxim gun was invented but still

[shrewd needle]

It's Leonidas and the 300 Spartans. Not even Persians could remove them.

[chilly bloom]

No guns shoot it because they added it without a 7.62×39 gun because theyre the smartest game devs

[hallow shadow]

Are you saying… Dnipro can be turned into 54r?

[shrewd needle]

Since 1.5, yes.

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhhh shit.

[static lark]

Yeah cause they removed x39

[hallow shadow]

This game is cooked, chat.

[shrewd needle]

Actually, the Malyuk can be converted to x39 IRL and hence, it was accurate in game to convert it to that.

But since GSC removed x39 from the game, now the Malyuk is forced to use x54...which is nonsense.

[chilly bloom]

Ive known that ever since i saw the M10 gordon was in the game

[serene barn]

the 7.62x39 was originally meant for the RPD but then GSC decided to not deliver the gun that was modelled and everything and instead abused the PKP/RPM-74 by feeding it in 7.62x39. then like what, 2 or so updates back they got rid of the 7.62x39 ammo i think? rechambered the PKP in the 7.62x54 Rounds like it's supposed to be.

[shrewd needle]

Nah, that's fine.

[chilly bloom]

Thats sad

[hallow shadow]

Grand Theft Zone

[chilly bloom]

Its a mac10 youre not gonna find that in ukraine

They could have added a PP2000

[shrewd needle]

Yep; before, the Malyuk was accurate and the PKM was wrong. Now it's the reverse.

[hallow shadow]

If it’s an Israeli weapon, it would be easier to come across in Eastern Europe, than America.

[shrewd needle]

I mean, they could've added an actual 9 X 39 revolver than the .45 ACP-using Taurus Raging Bull, but...what can we say?

[static lark]

Also fun fact Hiram Maxim’s son, Hiram PERCY Maxim, invented the “Silencer” which is what it’s called in the patent but it’s what we know now as the Suppressor

[chilly bloom]

I forgot its israeli because of all the hoodlems

[hallow shadow]

I mean…

[frigid hill]

rainthunderspark has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[chilly bloom]

Or like a real russian revolver like the ots 1

[static lark]

The MAC10 isn’t Israeli

[hallow shadow]

The Uzi?

[chilly bloom]

Someone said it was

[serene barn]

ah right, can't swear in the discord despite the game being what, 18+

[static lark]

It’s not

[hallow shadow]

I thought it was.

[static lark]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC-10

[hallow shadow]

I can be wrong.

[chilly bloom]

Im like im probably wrong

[shrewd needle]

That's what I'm saying...they could've, but chose not to. So... 😔

[chilly bloom]

But they could have added a 9A91 or a pp2000

[shrewd needle]

UZI is Israeli. MAC-10 is fully American.

[static lark]

The Nagant Revolver please

[hallow shadow]

The Russian revolver with the suppressor?

[serene barn]

i think i flipping hate the whole thing about making a game with guns being a huge part of it and then getting the guns wrong. like wouldn't it be less effort to just make the guns correctly instead of some dumbass balanced type of dookie, like at least when it comes to what round the gun can even use in the first place?

[hallow shadow]

I got mixed up. Thought they were the same.

[chilly bloom]

Or a nagant M1895 if they really didnt know guns

[static lark]

Yeah the Nagant is the only revolver that can be successfully supressed

[shrewd needle]

Well, they're the same in that you ain't shooting shit without a stock. Or a fore-grip. Or at fully automatic. 😏

Also, MAC-10 suppressor = just chef's kiss.

[chilly bloom]

They went for graphics instead of gameplay

[static lark]

Cause it has a funky cartridge that seals the gap between the cylinder and the barrel

[chilly bloom]

I would be happy with halo 3 or ghost recon breakpoint graphics

[shrewd needle]

Not the cartridge; the cylinder itself moves.

[chilly bloom]

As long as theres good guns

[static lark]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagant_M1895

[shrewd needle]

It's 2025, the brain-rot GenZ and GenA crowd wants graphics.

[hallow shadow]

Breakpoint looked pretty, but man… That game disappointed me.

[static lark]

It’s a combination between the cartridge and the cylinder

[subtle spindle]

i mean with da big uzi the firerate is so slow and the weight of the whole thing is so high that you could probably shoot it like they used to shoot pistols one handed

[hallow shadow]

I’ve been playing GR since they dropped on PC.

[shrewd needle]

Oh, I confused it with another one.

[chilly bloom]

Breakpoint could have been great if they got the colors of camos right

[shrewd needle]

Micro-UZI, though...like the MAC-10.

1100-1200 RPM.

[chilly bloom]

Who cares about them they 100% wont know stalker

[static lark]

Also it’s a Revolver made by a Belgian for the Russians and it ended up getting used by the Soviets

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but they ruined STALKER for us.

[chilly bloom]

Theyre too busy watching whatever tf they watch

[chilly bloom]

Im going up to a pre school and screaming "THIS IS YOUR FAULT"

[static lark]

I want a Nagant Revolver so bad

[hallow shadow]

Also if the AI weren’t dumb as rocks.

[subtle spindle]

developers want to creat a game that can stand up to the scrutiny of modern standards, youre just blaming zoomers for unrelated shit lol

[static lark]

I want a Nagant Revolver and a Mosin-Nagant so bad cause id 100% larp as a Russian White Army soldier

[chilly bloom]

That too ive had bloodsuckers and stalkers running in random directions

And then just all standing there together

Hell ive seen a guy from duty chilling with guys from liberty

[shrewd needle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTs-38_Stechkin_silent_revolver?useskin=vector

This is better, though. Modern and suppressed.

[shrewd needle]

'Modern stadards' are meh. We don't need photo-realistic graphics.

[static lark]

I’d like to say I’ve seen the Corps chill with Noon but noon kinda got

[shrewd needle]

I CAN EMBED THINGS? WTF? HOW?

[static lark]

Nagant looks cooler

[chilly bloom]

Magic

[subtle spindle]

youre still blaming younger people for something completely unrelated

[shrewd needle]

Too old.

[exotic glacier]

I'd use my sniper bullets in a revolver.

[static lark]

You have the master role master has embeds now

[hallow shadow]

I want one of them old revolvers (British?) with the barrel at the bottom of the cylinder.
Like Destiny

[shrewd needle]

'Graphics' is basically a trend since the last decade, so...

[hallow shadow]

Rose, my beloved.

[chilly bloom]

It looks cooler but is way to old to be in a semi cold war to early 2000s game

[shrewd needle]

Or maybe I got to level 51, that's why; Master is since level 50.

[chilly bloom]

Actually stalker 2 takes place in like

[static lark]

Stalker 2 is 2021

[subtle spindle]

how about i blame gen-xers and boomers for ruining gaming with their money?

[exotic glacier]

I like the spitter. Would like ñ smg closer to 600rpm.

[chilly bloom]

2021 yeah i said it first mhm

[subtle spindle]

also wtf do you mean graphics is a trend??????

[static lark]

I hate monolith so much

[chilly bloom]

Aight were beefing now

Jk lol

[static lark]

I’m literally a Noontider WE HAVE BEEN BEEFING

[chilly bloom]

Well you smell funny

[static lark]

Also practically just a Nagant but “new”

[hallow shadow]

Not that I’m actually arguing, but my “old man” perspective:
the “FPS trend”

[static lark]

Uses the exact same principles to suppress the shot

Moving cylinder, rounds that seal between the cylinder gap

[shrewd needle]

Not a bad idea.

[chilly bloom]

Also the range in stalker 2 sucks

[static lark]

The Nagant did it first therefore the OTS-2 is a copy

[shrewd needle]

The whole idea of 'photo-realistic' graphics when they're not even needed (HL 1998 looks just fine)...

[chilly bloom]

I shot someone with an ak from 75 feet and it drops SO badly

[hallow shadow]

While I understand wanting a basic 60FPS is an agreeable standard, the crying about “30 gives me headaches, I need 244FPS!”
That seems silly.
After so many frames, the human eye just doesn’t give a damn.

[chilly bloom]

It dropped worse than me on my head when i was an infant

[shrewd needle]

There's one genuine excuse, which is motion sickness.

Other than that, 60 is fine.

[hallow shadow]

The difference between 30/40 is noticeable.
The difference between 60/120 is kinda imperceptible.

[static lark]

I think it’s been scientifically proven you can’t see past 30fps

[subtle spindle]

its harder to tell apart 120 and 240 (still very easy) but 60 and 90 or 120 is very clear

[shrewd needle]

Anything above 60 = wasting power on extra frames that could just be eliminated.

MP FPS not counted.

[chilly bloom]

I like 30 fps because im used to old gen xbox one and 60 fps feels off somehow

[static lark]

Ok so the human eye can only see at max 60fps but it cannot perceive anything past 60fps

[subtle spindle]

high refresh rate monitors exist

[chilly bloom]

I have to play on cloud gaming because of the graphics

[shrewd needle]

I know. Don't need unless playing competitive multi-player FPS.

[hallow shadow]

I’m also indoctrinated with the low-tech jams.
But I swooned when Bethesda dropped 40FPS for Fallout/Starfield.
Noticable

But like… After that. It’s just “smooth”.

[subtle spindle]

you would know if you had a higher refresh rate monitor. 90 feels really nice for singleplayer games

[shrewd needle]

I have a 75 FPS monitor, but I notice nothing beyond 60. Hence I capped it to 60.

[hallow shadow]

Gotta get you a 120, and slap that VRR on there.

[static lark]

Bro I played Helldivers 2 on my crappy PC when it first dropped at like 24fps if I can manage you nerds can too

[chilly bloom]

But still i can excuse the german guns because freedom wears flecktarn and i like to pretend theyre german

[hallow shadow]

My monitor is 244, but Xbox can only push 120 at most.

[subtle spindle]

yall boomers wouldve sung a different tune if it was 2002 or whenever CRTs started being phased out. didnt they do up to 200 hz depending on the resolution?

[shrewd needle]

Hell nah.

[chilly bloom]

But the 1911 and the M10 gordon

[hallow shadow]

So I set my Xbox to 1080p@120, and run VRR.

[chilly bloom]

I have like

[shrewd needle]

I've used CRTs; didn't really matter much, TBF.

[chilly bloom]

How do you check

[static lark]

The 1911 makes sense to be in the Zone it is the most popular self loading pistol of all time

[hallow shadow]

Xbox? Or monitor?

[chilly bloom]

Fair

[serene barn]

That can’t be because i could absolutely tell when i went from playing Far Cry 6 on PS4 to on the 5. However anything over 60 i probably wouldn’t see. Would love just getting a stable 60 on my games tho…

[chilly bloom]

Uhhh xbox

[static lark]

I was wrong its 60fps that the human eye can’t perceive past

[shrewd needle]

'Stable' and 'modern' don't go hand-in-hand. Modern games are so unoptimized as shit...

[hallow shadow]

Settings > Tv Display >

[static lark]

I think we’ve just reached the point where games are moving faster than what normal people can keep up with

[hallow shadow]

From there, it tells you what your Xbox is currently pushing through your screen.

[chilly bloom]

Oka lemme check how low it is bcuz i have an xbox one old gen

[serene barn]

I only got like 20 fps when outside on oblivion remastered lol.

[chilly bloom]

720P😭

[shrewd needle]

20 is generously playable.

[hallow shadow]

Then… you go to Video Fidelity, overscan.

Are you using monitor, or TV?

[chilly bloom]

OH GOD I CLICKED 1080P AND IT LOOKS WEIRD

[charred nova]

Higher

[hallow shadow]

Keep your override-
WAIT!

[static lark]

I don’t need my game to look like real life im gonna be so honest, some of my favorite games have the low poly graphics

[serene barn]

I mean it was but it feels really terrible. Like at that point inputs are affected and other shii like enemies being close all of a sudden.

[shrewd needle]

That's the thing; games don't need to be photo-realistic.

[hallow shadow]

I’ll have to like… Audio this with you. But depends on your monitor as much as the Xbox.

[chilly bloom]

IM ON FIRE AAAAAAAAAAAAA MY XBOX EXPLODED

[shrewd needle]

Well, I say that as a person who's played Horizon: Zero Dawn on 5-10 FPS. So...

[static lark]

He’s a Monolithian he deserved it (this is a joke)

[serene barn]

I couldn’t do that.

[chilly bloom]

Oh please people have made worse jokes im fine

[hallow shadow]

Keep your overrides, (in Fidelity/Overacan) to auto detect.
Depth should stay 24 bits per pixel.
I use a monitor, so my color space is RGB.

Then! Go back to video modes.

[serene barn]

I saw what 5 fps looked like when Stalker 2 had the ram leaking issues that would entirely demolish my ability to play the game.

[chilly bloom]

What do these words mean

[hallow shadow]

Turn on the Variable Refresh Rate, if your tv/monitor supports 120fps.

[static lark]

5fps looks like a slideshow

[hallow shadow]

Can I call you? 720p sounds like butt.

[chilly bloom]

Im scared

[hallow shadow]

Imma go outside, have a cigarette, and help you with the Xbox graphics.

[chilly bloom]

How would that help

[hallow shadow]

To walk you through your video settings.

[static lark]

How many monolithians does it take to change the refresh rate in their monitor?

[hallow shadow]

So you’re getting the most out of your Xbox.

[static lark]

They don’t they just shoot it cause they’re idiots

[shrewd needle]

Well, on an i3-7100 with 12 GB of RAM and the iGPU called the Intel HD 630...you have to make do with 5-10 FPS.

[chilly bloom]

Ah

[static lark]

OH MY GOD

[chilly bloom]

Ok well i touched pc rgb and everything went dark am i dead

[serene barn]

Imma go attempt to sleep.

[hallow shadow]

Jesus.

[shrewd needle]

What?

[hallow shadow]

Are you on a TV, or a monitor?

[static lark]

this guy couldn’t run a modern game to save his life

[chilly bloom]

Tv

[hallow shadow]

Ok. No RGB for you.

[shrewd needle]

Hey, computer parts cost money.
