[thorn cove]

but they can put it as "Accessibility" for some people or into story telling like old games did it

[lime bay]

I’m not even referring to stalker tbh, at least here you can turn it off

[twin cairn]

i deff think there are good ways to guide the player along but alot of companies go overboard

[lime bay]

But I mean come on man, there’s no need for so much yellow paint in the most simplistic of pathfinding

[twin cairn]

^^^

it implies the devs think gamers are stupid

[lime bay]

It makes sense if your colorblind, I can completely understand that, sure

[twin cairn]

thats why i dont like about elderscrolls games post morrowind

just follow the arrow

[lime bay]

I’m visually impaired and I can’t stand it

Part of my impairment comes from hopping over the hoops it causes me - and I’m constantly reminded by game devs that they think I’m an idiot

[thorn cove]

Morrowind is so based

[lime bay]

It’s like putting the rails up at the bowling alley

[twin cairn]

👑

[thorn cove]

I'm almost finishing it

[twin cairn]

we just a cyrodiil release the other day so heres a list of released stuff and in dev stuff for morrowind its so based

[thorn cove]

after that I'll play whole game as freeplay for fanmade EPs

Tamriel Rebuilt mod

[twin cairn]

i love TR and PT

[lime bay]

What’s this for homie

[twin cairn]

morrowind

[lime bay]

And yeah, imagine if the average modern gamer nowadays went back and tried to play daggerfall

[twin cairn]

the areas with years are released and named ones are in dev

[twin cairn]

its amazing honestly daggerfall unity is fully complete

[simple sage]

peanutdrumstick has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[thorn cove]

[lime bay]

Their heads would implode

[lime bay]

Can’t wait man, along with with the RTX reshade

[twin cairn]

someones making RTX reshade for DFU??

man thats based as hell

[lime bay]

They’re doing the RTX reshade for morrowind first

[twin cairn]

i cant wait for that

is it reshade or did they get access to nvidia rtx remix files from that tech demo while back ?

that video actually made me go nvidia instead of AMD for gpu

i pray i can experience it

[round mango]

I got a pc

[lime bay]

I don’t mean the actual RESHADE team

[round mango]

A massive upgrade from my laptop

[lime bay]

What I was trying to say is nvidia is doing an rtx reshade

[twin cairn]

aye hell yeah thats awesome to hear @round mango what kinda build did you go with

[twin cairn]

id pay them 1000 rn to hurry up

[lime bay]

Fr

[twin cairn]

i have dreamed of a raytraced morrowind

[misty sandal]

I keep the other Fallout stuff on this shelf

[round mango]

Well you gotta realise the difference first
So my laptop has 4gb of ddr3 ram and and intel celeron n4020 CPU with 256ssd

[lime bay]

Man I was 7 years old when I first beat morrowind

If little 7 year old girthquake can beat morrowind I don’t wanna hear shit about needing yellow paint

[round mango]

While my new pc has a Ryzen 5 5500, 16gb of ddr4 , 1tb nvme M2, and a AMD Radeon Rx7600

[twin cairn]

damn thats quite the upgrade!

[twin cairn]

fr haha

[round mango]

Yeah when I bought the laptop I didn't know anything about computers. I'm really excited to play those next gen games

[twin cairn]

some pics of my time in morrowind ( on the mainland and in skyrim ) was using tamriel rebuilt and skyrim home of the nords mod

[round mango]

Skyrim was a W game

[twin cairn]

i like it as a modding platfrom but i prefer morrowind more imo

i have a minor amount of mods in my skyrim

[misty sandal]

Super off-topic but here is my super chaotically organized gameroom/cave

[twin cairn]

goddamn now thats based AF

[misty sandal]

I'm a disabled veteran so all I do is play games, go to school and do army things once a month lol 😂

[twin cairn]

fair haha i pray you hold on to these items its gaming history i havent seen this many physical games in a very long time haha

i wish i kept all mine

[void kelp]

Why is slavery being bad so controversial?? Also Lone Wanderer great username.

[misty sandal]

Definitely I am actually going to college for a career in game design and hopefully be a part of game preservation history, physical forever

[void kelp]

My room looks kinda like that except I also have a legion flag and add a lot more fallout stuff

[misty sandal]

Go it from my new love back into fallout and stalker way back in 2004, I used to have more fallout stuff (mini nuke anthology, build able pipboy, and F4 CE but I had to sell them)

[void kelp]

Goodness I love your game selection.

[misty sandal]

Also been a fan of the post apocalyptic genre on general since when my dad showed me Mad Max when I was 5 years old 😂

[misty sandal]

I am not a "full-set" guy just want the games I never got to play, enjoy or remember growing up, 360/PS3 was always my favorite but the PS2/Xbox had me really good honestly

[void kelp]

There’s so much RIGHT in your room. Paradise lost, Alduin statue, Original Xbox logo, obviously I fiend over Fallout as I’ve been a fan for two decades. The halo reach statuette or whatever it’s called in English.

Literally only thing I see that I’m not a fan of in the entire room is MTG.

[twin cairn]

🫵👑

[void kelp]

Not to mention berserk and mad max and the billijon other neat things

[lime bay]

The original writer of fallout, Tim, went on to create the world building and lore for the outer worlds

[misty sandal]

I quit a lot of MTG I actually sold 80% of my collection a few weeks ago and have been quitting the last couple of years never was a full time hobbyist with it, but I still like to play Modern and sometimes commander

[austere lark]

Nerds

[lime bay]

Which, the outer worlds 2 is coming out soon! And he’s still the number one creative consultant on the team!

[void kelp]

I’d have to mention again, everything in your room besides MTG, to list all of the things I fawn over.

I’d buy your room

[misty sandal]

Tim Cain, Brian Fargo, Chris Avalone and MVG are some of my most favorite video game gods

[lime bay]

Tim is literally one of us

[void kelp]

Me too bro. Grew up on Fallout 2 and Daggerfall.

I still play them

I play restoration patch Fallout 2 and Daggerfall Unity. Some of my most highest played.

[misty sandal]

I want to sit down and get the of fallouts working on my steamdeck OLED

[lime bay]

Here’s a game you folks might be interested in:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1685310/The_Wayward_Realms/

Steam

The Wayward Realms

Under the direction of Ted Peterson & Julian LeFay — lead developers of the team behind the Elder Scrolls Arena and Daggerfall—Once Lost Games is creating a new open-world fantasy RPG where choice, consequence, scope and role-playing will be experienced like never before in a realistically-scaled open world in a new class of game: The Grand RPG....

Release Date

Coming soon

▶ Play video

[void kelp]

I watch all of Mr. Cain’s videos

[void kelp]

Been actively supporting this game for a long time.

[misty sandal]

Hot take I count this game on the lore, it's a bad game but also a 💎

[misty sandal]

CREAM

[void kelp]

I like some of the lore, it’s the one game I don’t like besides 76 and shelter, simply because stolen engine and too much edgy teen vibes that makes me weep

[lime bay]

Same, and I backed their kickstarter

[void kelp]

Yeah man, I was on their discord for a long time, seems like my only luck at modern Daggerfall.

[lime bay]

Ted Peterson is also one of the gamers 💯

[misty sandal]

True I can't stand F76 and shelter but I BOS and tactics are ones I can push the limits on

[lime bay]

I enjoy fallout 76 when I’m solo - especially a lot more now than 2019

[misty sandal]

I remember playing F76 on the pre-beta for consoles it and after they said it was "fixed" and it was worse pos I have ever played

[void kelp]

Tactics isn’t even on my limits list, I wish I could get my friends together for a tactics LAN party as I love that game.

The main reason people “hate” tactics is because they confuse it with BoS.

Tbh I wish we got BoS 2 and Tactics XTREME

[lime bay]

It’s a lot how I only play elder scrolls online to enjoy more elder scrolls lore

[misty sandal]

The Midwestern power armor OH MAMA

[lime bay]

If I didn’t love the universe as much as I do believe me I wouldn’t touch eso with a 10 foot pool net

[misty sandal]

True that game is 10x better honestly than F76 I just enjoy F76 creatures/cryptids

[void kelp]

I agree, one issue.

I want more Fallout but the fallout we get is slop.

It’s like wanting more food so you go to McDonald’s and eat your heart out.

[twin cairn]

i wish eso was like 76 i hate zenimax for how they squander eso

esp pvp

also their writing is kinda goofy

[misty sandal]

Spot on we used to get the chick fil la in Fallout Content now we get the McDonald's slop 😂

[lime bay]

And playing the fallouts we have with mods is basically eating at home

[twin cairn]

random ass daedric prince of fate introduced who looked like an overwatch character

[void kelp]

You feel temporary satisfaction, it quenched your thirst for fallout 5/what could have been interplay fallout. But afterwards you end up feeling bad and dirty after, replace this analogy with prostitutes if you want.

[misty sandal]

So true and the mods is good eating I can't play F4 without having almost 200 mods

[twin cairn]

fallout would be better if todd and emil was gone

[misty sandal]

1$ hookers

[twin cairn]

todds pretty much responsible for all the bad decisions as he is the yes man and emil writing sucks

[misty sandal]

Or honestly let Obsidian and InXile borrow the license for Fallout remasters

[lime bay]

Todd confirming elder scrolls 6 being the last elder scrolls he’ll get to experience in his lifetime left a hole in my heart

[twin cairn]

ex bethesda dev interview said you had to go through todd for like any decision

[void kelp]

Tbh I’m not a fan of obsidian writing nowadays

[misty sandal]

I will be almost 40 by the time another fallout comes out have mercy

[void kelp]

This really shouldn’t be a hot take unless you’re sentimental. Outer Worlds really didn’t hit.

[twin cairn]

also bethesda uses no design documents at all

[lime bay]

Ohhhhhhhh man….

Avowed

[twin cairn]

i pray avowed is good

[misty sandal]

They are shutting the bed with the big avowed controversy and it's sad

[void kelp]

I think I’d trust Larian to make my perfect modern fallout.

[twin cairn]

whats the controversy

i dont follow obsidian news

[twin cairn]

larian is so good

[lime bay]

Outer worlds only redeeming factor again was Tim creating most of the lore and world building

[misty sandal]

10/10 would coom if Larien made a Fallout spin off

[void kelp]

Their CEO or whoever said they’d love to, I need that energy, give me someone that likes Fallout, like me. I’ll replace Emil and save Fallout.

I know the lore really well

[twin cairn]

were obsidian devs calling gamers misogynistic anti woke haters ?

[misty sandal]

We need Chris Avellone back

[lime bay]

All the TTRPG haters will get buttmad it’s not in first person. But I agree completely

[void kelp]

I’m not joking I’d do it I’d replace Emil in a heart beat I’d abandon my family and change my name and kill a man I DON’T CARE, let me make a TRUE Fallout. I’ll do it.

[misty sandal]

Use and using anti-white language

[twin cairn]

💀

[misty sandal]

1st and 3rd again would be amazing

[twin cairn]

why do these retards always insult the people who give them a job lol

i pay your bills

so many devs insult customers nowadays

[lime bay]

Matt Hansen went on twitter and I shit you not said:

‘We have too many crusty white men in the industry’ (he’s white himself so idk if he’s an uncle ruckus or what)

[twin cairn]

💀

[void kelp]

The Matt Hansen for Obsidian hates his race and actively talks about wanting to remove whites from the work place, and straight men too. Idk he has this cųck attitude about hating himself and such. He admits to discrimination against whites and says he makes the games to piss off conservative gamers.

[misty sandal]

Who knows, I just speak with my wallet and don't buy garbage, I don't even like paying full price for new games Stalker 2 is the first one I have paid full price for in years

[twin cairn]

doesnt matt know thats racist

[lime bay]

Internalized racism

[twin cairn]

its just as racist saying there is to many white folk as saying the industry has to many black folk

i feel we are living in a cursed fever dream

[misty sandal]

In the US hiring over someone's race, gender, sex etc breaks the 14th amendment

[twin cairn]

hiring should be done only based on merit and talent imo

and like skills

[void kelp]

Avellone talked about that, he wants people to collect proof they were discriminated against so they can sue.

[misty sandal]

I learned from the military I view everyone by the color they bleed and last time I checked we all bleed red

[twin cairn]

based as hell

[void kelp]

Avellone is such a great guy for that.

[misty sandal]

Right on the money I remember seeing that

[twin cairn]

im not military but we are all brothers and sisters

all human

[austere lark]

even the snorkers

[twin cairn]

NO

[lime bay]

I’ll still give avowed a try

[thorn cove]

[twin cairn]

two things i hate aliens and snorkers

[austere lark]

[void kelp]

I love the part where Americas meritocracy got so based that Equity fallacy nonces explode

[misty sandal]

So damn true, the military isn't perfect either unfortunately

[void kelp]

What branch did you serve

[misty sandal]

Snorks in SOC pissed me tf, freaking jump like they just done shooting up speed

[misty sandal]

Army

[void kelp]

Ah neat, what was your MOS

I love talking to American vets

[misty sandal]

91S (Stryker systems maintainer) first then re classes to 92Y (supply) thats what I still do now but not full time anymore

[void kelp]

Ah, so cool, I love the Stryker.

[misty sandal]

Amazing vehicle but you have to maintain it like a sports car lol, so many little things always needing maintenance on it

[void kelp]

Should be proud to serve for supply, people don’t face the credit it deserves, logistics wins wars and nobody does it like America.

[misty sandal]

Supply is so under appreciated it's funny and my crazy self is about to drop a warrant officer packet in a few years

[void kelp]

I wish more were patriotic about America, I see too many who genuinely hate it. I like having issues with your country when it’s healthy but those Americans who act like it’s the worst thing, they feel ashamed, and want America to not exist are sad to me.

[misty sandal]

I love America and always have the U.S is not perfect but you should always be proud of your country no matter where your from, unless you are a communist (joking)

[void kelp]

Wish you luck genuinely.

[twin cairn]

supply is a critical thing imo without it no organization can function

its very important

[wild mulch]

even if youre from France?

[void kelp]

I agree but the communist thing unironically.

[lime bay]

I implore all folks who think they have it bad in America spend a week in any northern African country

[misty sandal]

Honestly yes, I have seen what's going over there and it's sad but France also went through Napoleon and the Nazi's so couldn't be any worse honestly

[lime bay]

Or a week anywhere in southern Cambodia

An tell me you think you still have it bad

[misty sandal]

Hahaha yep, insert Chappie movie here (even though it's south Africa)

[misty sandal]

Or Venezuela

[void kelp]

Americans don’t get it, their poorest are people with trailer homes that has running water and propane tanks. In Russia many villages don’t have running water, zero young people just old ladies carrying buckets from wells all across the nation.

[lime bay]

What’s the name of that city in Siberia, that’s essentially a concrete jungle isolated from the rest of Russia

[void kelp]

Well I guess the poorest people are those on the street but every nation has that im talking about what’s the bottom tier.

[void kelp]

Which one?? 🤣🤣

[lime bay]

Found it, Norilsk

[void kelp]

I thought so

Although asking “what’s the northernmost city” would’ve helped.

[misty sandal]

If anyone is a big H.P Lovecraft fan I highly recommend this 💎

[void kelp]

Or what’s the second biggest city in Krasnoyarsk Krai

But yeah

[misty sandal]

"older" games there is also this wild ride

[void kelp]

I loved Black and Morrowind

OG Xbox is so good it’s unreal.

[misty sandal]

I love the console I just got done modding my halo edition Xbox and ripping my entire library to it

[void kelp]

Lmao

[lime bay]

Black was so ahead of its time

[misty sandal]

Here is pic I posted on X when I tagged Redherring32 and MakeMHZ

[lime bay]

Same with the fear games

[void kelp]

Although most of my favorite games was on 360 era my Favorite games are 90s-early 2000s era computer games

[austere lark]

a classic

[misty sandal]

Playing this right now

[void kelp]

Dude you are so based

[twin cairn]

^

i agree

[void kelp]

I’d buy your room as I’ve said before, I think you just straight up like what I like and it’s amazing.

[misty sandal]

I feel dumb, I didn't find out this game is also BC until a week ago

[misty sandal]

I cant even tell ya how long it took to get some of these games, all I will say I should have finished collecting 360 a few years ago

PS2 thankfully I was already mostly content with

PS1 I still need Jersey Devil

[austere lark]

Yeah well... I have a lot of books...

[misty sandal]

I have a few but I am running out of room lol, I have to constantly reorganize my shelves to make room

[austere lark]

yea your room is pretty stacked as is

[void kelp]

Same, Cormac McCarthy and Heinlen, Haldemen, Dmitry Glukhovsky.

[lime bay]

Black hawk down is getting a remaster

[misty sandal]

That's the only problem with having a hobby your collection grows but the room gets smaller

[misty sandal]

The Thing, I can't wait for the remaster to get a physical printing if it gets a collectors I spend that money so quick

[void kelp]

My game closet USED to be full of D&D and everything the title “game closet” would entail, now it’s all Warhammer.

[austere lark]

I need to read some more Cormac

[misty sandal]

Based, love 40k lore

[void kelp]

I have such a large gray sea of shame

Unpainted minis galore.

[misty sandal]

Damn that's an oldie

[misty sandal]

That's me with my Cthulhu death may die minis and I own all the products except big boy Cthulhu

[lime bay]

I have some of the original delta force discs tucked away somewhere

[haughty jay]

How do you join the giveaway?

[misty sandal]

It's crazy, my mentor before I joined the army officially was a Ranger and some of his buddies were the guys that were in that whole mess the movie, books and games are about

[lime bay]

Were you in Bosnia during the 90s brother?

[void kelp]

It’s an isolated world being more learned than the “media literacy” crowd.

[misty sandal]

Haha no, I'm that old

Not

[void kelp]

Starship troopers is real good when you don’t got a media literacy nut telling you it’s fascist.

[misty sandal]

I almost bought the game but a lot of buddies still play overwatch 🤢

Absolutely love Starship Troopers, RoboCop and Terminator and I tend to bundle them in the same space

Overwatch and valorant need unplugged

bladerunner 2049 is also peak

i wish the movie didnt flop commercially

[twin cairn]

i just watched the movie last night it was amazing

[lime bay]

You gentlemen kingdom come fans by chance

[twin cairn]

that dystopian hellhole is honestly scary haha id HATE it exist in a world like that

[twin cairn]

yes

[void kelp]

Me when you get told you actually didn’t understand (insert setting you love) because you didn’t understand it was actually about how conveniently the entire setting was secretly about the ideology they like.

[wild mulch]

Im such a big fan that I live in the country where it was made 😎

[twin cairn]

i wish they expanded on bladerunner world more i wanna learn about the other planets i feel bad for the replicant slaves

i cant imagine the horrors taking place among the stars

[lime bay]

Praise the czeck!!

[misty sandal]

Good game haven't played it yet but I do own it

[void kelp]

Me when I’m supposed to read Marx in order to understand conveniently every setting (it’s almost as if being brainwashed changed how you see reality, and as such logically concluding to fiction as well)

[lime bay]

The lead director behind kingdom come was also the lead director for the first 2 mafia games

[void kelp]

Sorry I just have been getting progressively annoyed by this stuff

[misty sandal]

Apologies coom

[twin cairn]

naw its understandable i feel you

[misty sandal]

Your not the only one believe me

[void kelp]

All of my favorite settings have been hit by that crowd.

[lime bay]

Plenty of time to bang it out before the sequel launch! Don’t get frustrated at the combat, it’s part of the story to be dog shit

fresh isn't a good word...maybe...unique I guess

[pseudo moat]

lol yeah I havent even beat it yet, id consider qol improving mods but they seem to slow be fixing issues

[neon vale]

i dislike that most of the mods are just "QoL" mods that just make the game easier

like infinite sprint or infinite carry weight

[prime jetty]

well those aren't QoL mods lol

[pseudo moat]

anomally is dope, got absurd amounts of time in GAMMA

[prime jetty]

those are just cheats lol not QoL.

[neon vale]

exactly

[pseudo moat]

yeah thats just cheating lmfao

[neon vale]

a lot of QoL mods are basically cheating disguised as making the game less tedious

[prime jetty]

i classify QoL mods are changes in the UI, like making the inventory window bigger and not so compressed, rewards for certain quests being actual useful not "go kill 15 blood suckers and ill give you 2 bandages" and stuff like that

[pseudo moat]

lol I could see that, but the tedium is kinda the point so that when you make progress it feels like an accomplishment

[neon vale]

kinda like the terraria "QoL" mods that workaround entire game mechanics just to make doing it save like 2 minutes

[feral tartan]

I won't be upset if I don't win anything, I already won something special.

Friends and Memories, and a grand ole time here.

[neon vale]

a free ticket to rumia poland?
oh

[feral tartan]

Also, I hit participate in the Giveaways, But It didn't tell me if I participated in it yet.

[prime jetty]

i added the reasonable weapon degrad mod so i wasnt breaking my gun every 30 minutes and paying stupid amounts of money to fix it cause repairs costs were stupid high

[neon vale]

click it again later when the bot fixes itself

[pseudo moat]

any of yall try the mod that adds dark souls style death mechanics to the game? lol im a fan of shit that makes stuff harder if anything ig xD

[neon vale]

i both love and hate the degredation because i like being forced to switch weapons every once in a while

but it also makes modifications on my weapons useless because i either have to drop them or spend boatloads to keep them

[prime jetty]

yeah repair costs are crazy. so slowing down the weapon degrade was the only way i could think of doing it without lowering costs and making the game too easy

so it still costs an arm and a leg to repair your gun, but atleast you can use that gun a few more times lol

[neon vale]

stalker 2 mods have the exact opposite issue as the trilogy

stalker 2 mods usually make the game too easy, trilogy mods usually make the game so hard it stops being fun

[prime jetty]

circle of life if you ask me lol

[neon vale]

i dont like spending 1200 rubles on one medkit

stalker 2 economy is in the sweetspot that is just right (outside of repairs those cost way too much, but i swear they always have)

[twin cairn]

I have never seen such visceral screaming haha this Karen wouldn't leave this guys property you'd think she was being violent cut up

[prime jetty]

some of the rebalance mods made the traders, techs and survival elements feel more like anomaly or gamma in my opinion. might be worth checking them out when youre done your playthrough

[neon vale]

most of the game costs what it should without making me broke or swimming in kupons

i dig the change from rubles to kupons

[prime jetty]

fall damage is INSANE tho lol

[neon vale]

ive only ever really died to it from jumping off places that would kill you irl

[prime jetty]

i be scared to step off the hood of a car lol

[pseudo moat]

fall damage the real kilelr fr

[neon vale]

i love trilogy fall damage where you could jump off the top of a combine and take like 25% damage

[twin cairn]

Fall damage is all over the place in gaming honestly

[prime jetty]

see that makes sense to me, but stepping off a 3-5 foot ridge onto grass and it takes me down to 1HP is insane lol

[twin cairn]

It's goofy

Hope mods fix it

[prime jetty]

there is already tons of fall damage mods to make it feel way more realistic. you should check em out

[twin cairn]

Once I reinstall the game I'll take a peak

[neon vale]

the updates piss me off

[prime jetty]

but like, THAT is a QoL mod.

[neon vale]

they are massive and require me to reinstall the game because for some reason my steam will reset updates that large

[twin cairn]

Heard it messes with people's games

[neon vale]

the 110GB update reset on me 4 times over the course of a week before i gave up and uninstalled

[prime jetty]

it be like that

man i just want the radio mods to work again. i loved walking into a camp and hearing some fallout songs playing. or some crazy ass russion hardstyle techno

ive got a mod so my PDA has a portable radio, so i can listen to the radio as i explore. its nice

[twin cairn]

💀

[pseudo moat]

the gog updates are like 5-10gb on average, offline installers ftw (i got bombed with a huge update once since launch)

my connection isnt the best lately, so i hope that was the only time i get met with that

[wild mulch]

Omg
Cat

[twin cairn]

ngl im gonna try something that may be cursed

[pseudo moat]

same energy

[twin cairn]

gonna play fallout anomaly modpack haha feels cursed

[pseudo moat]

lol wait that exists? is it like a wj list or something?

[twin cairn]

it does yes! just finished being updated its a WJ list

[pseudo moat]

fo4 id reckon? fo3 and nv have special places in my heart, but they aged kinda bad lol

[twin cairn]

yeah f04 i dont think 3 and nv could even handle it haha

[pseudo moat]

magnum opus was a fun list i played for a bit, friend got a key for fo4 in some game pack and made me play, its a good fps, but it could use more rpg elements

they can barely handle their own weight, lets be real

the old engines just dated, the faces and diallogue just is kinda silly to revisit, same with oblivion

[twin cairn]

i was trying that one out for a bit i might revisit in the future but i wanted to try something more focused and curated and i agree 100%

[pseudo moat]

now mention bethejank, im praying that the next tes isnt bad but starfield has me not confident lol

[twin cairn]

im spooked honestly

i PRAY the flop and general disinterest wakes them up

[pseudo moat]

yeah they could be great if they didnt chase away talent lol nobody that did actual work is there according to linkedin, ppl retired and a lot of folks moved on as far as their talent goes

[twin cairn]

this is HORRIBLE lol

[pseudo moat]

you know why we have gotten skyrim 4x? because todd ran his team out xD

IS THAT PEAK from launch lol

time just go by faster and faster the older I get damn

[twin cairn]

it is lol

i think

no wait

[pseudo moat]

ok so on this one - fonv and fo3 are re-releases somehwat - gotta member we mostly still bought games irl back then lol i did midnight release for fonv

[twin cairn]

6600 are just in the last 24 hours

[pseudo moat]

those were games for windows live enabled games, steam ones wont be the same metrics

[twin cairn]

true yeah this aint truly even accurate

[pseudo moat]

ik im just if they did math right good ol nv would be bigger lol

[twin cairn]

gog. consoles, physical

[pseudo moat]

yup it was like on steam on launch day, but it also hit gog fast and physical editions, i miss physical games. ill forever be butthurt pc cant play back blurays etc

its completely redundant but still lol tangible items are nice

[twin cairn]

its also nice since companies like ubisoft say you dont own your games

physical is a good safeguard to true ownership

[pseudo moat]

THIS THIS THIS, around roughly 2009ish they started making you need online to activate game keys and it was all downhill

we will always have the high seas if dev jut wreck us ever, but its still whack lol blurays get up to over 100gb now, would be nice for ppl with limited or no internet access too

[twin cairn]

i agree 100% if they wont sell it directly they should let us be able to make a copy if we have the blueray

[pseudo moat]

yeah and then ppl could mirror updates like used to happen jic

you cant even watch modern bluray movies on pc btw its cursed, you have to rip the disc with a special drive over the course of an hr or two then you can watch the rip xD

[twin cairn]

WHAT

thats insane lol

[pseudo moat]

yeah sony helped create the media microsoft had to pay them to liscense it - The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) - Hitachi, HP, JVC, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Sony, and TDK - wierd rabbithole but yeah they litterally own the format and founded a company to gatekeep physical media, they used to work but they kaboshed it and blamed piracy.

wii u used blurays too, prolly why nintendo went back to carts lol

[void kelp]

Need answers

[pseudo moat]

sure but i need context asap lol

[void kelp]

Me and my friends are arguing this topic and we’re surveying people to see who is right, we… say you came home and found a dead cat, you must bludgeon someone with said cat, but there are boxes to get new ones (you have an infinite supply), how many to bludgeon them.

[pseudo moat]

it woudl solely depend on the the size of the bowl and the portion - some people can throw shit hard af, and is the pho hot? we need these answers

[void kelp]

Hot Pho, big bowl, hefty bowl.

It’s boiling for that matter

[twin cairn]

how heavy is the bowl

[pseudo moat]

yeah you could blind someone pretty quick, pho gets hella spicey

boil hot chilli juice in your eyes - could be game over in just one or two bowls

[twin cairn]

are they paying attention? you can do some damage to a good hit the back of the head

[void kelp]

It’s heavy idk exact numbers I didn’t count he’s just laying there but the bowl is broken so I dunno

[void kelp]

They’re letting it happen, you can spin or twirl doesn’t matter

[twin cairn]

oh if its broken its one bowl ill just like stab them with it in the head

[pseudo moat]

is there someone making said pho and handing me them endlessly? or do i just have a magic box that just produces hot pho?

[pseudo moat]

specifically you had to throw it iirc lol

[twin cairn]

oh

[void kelp]

Infinite

[twin cairn]

hmm

[void kelp]

No mine broke, it’s not broken for you, I’m saying when I tested it it broke

[twin cairn]

i feel theyd boil to death so maybe 20+ bowls

[pseudo moat]

im clumsy, id wanna be lucky - every bowl of pho tossed is another chance of third degree burns

[void kelp]

You couldn’t spike someone with a hefty bowl?? I think I’d do with 4

Fourth bowl they’re on the ground and at that point the fourth bowl will just start boiling in their nose n shit.

[twin cairn]

i think the hot pho would kill them before the bowl

true lol

[pseudo moat]

in the least youd have hot chillis in their eye too splaash damage, spicey hot splash damage

[neon vale]

how many bowls of pho would kill you from overeating

[twin cairn]

that famas looks so good i cant wait to try it

[pseudo moat]

been awhile, id almost be willing to find out ngl

its going to be a very sad day when were finally out of christmas ham

[neon vale]

ive never had pho

or any noodle soup

[twin cairn]

i had pho once

not usually my style of food tbh

[pseudo moat]

Well depends on how hard you throw
If you throw like a damn fastball it won't take to many
But if your a LITTLE BIṬCH
It will take a bit

[pseudo moat]

noodles and toppings varies but like same general topic

[void kelp]

Splendid meal, the Vietnamese are COOKING, LITERALLY.

[sacred idol]

I heard it was called pho was pronounced like the start of the f word

[pseudo moat]

the pho is boiling hot in a large bowl, you have infinite

[void kelp]

It sounds like the f word without the ck

[sacred idol]

I pho with it......

[umbral niche]

I'd say like 5.....

[neon vale]

theres a lot of pho places in toronto called "pho king"

[pseudo moat]

Hell yeah

[halcyon sundial]

since its pho, it would matter on portion size and in what time period it will be consumed ... if its gonna be big portion, a lot of them, in short period of time, body wont be able to process water quick enough and you will technicaly drown in pho

[void kelp]

Вставай Техас!!

You are throwing a hefty bowl of boiling pho.

[neon vale]

https://youtu.be/uv9CjsQNtf4?si=iQSlEIthRxZ-65SF

[pseudo moat]

oh were talking about beating ppl with thrown unlimited bowls of boiling hot pho in large bowls

[void kelp]

Salamanders are cool but ever since 40K got more mainstream everyone flocked to them for the “good guy faction” and it’s ruining my immersion.

[neon vale]

the better version of danza kuduro

[neon vale]

id argue tau are more of the "good guy faction"

which is the main reason i like them

[halcyon sundial]

force them to eat it 😄 boiling hot 😄 they will cook and drown at the same time

grimdark gets boring extremely quickly which is why there are likable characters and factions in 40k

[pseudo moat]

now i want pho wtf

[sacred idol]

tau are like the dumbest race in 40k

[void kelp]

Yes I’m the kinda guy that complained about T’au too. And also… T’au are grimdark as hell and the one of the only factions that you can really argue is fascist besides for the fact the leadership is split up through a kind of oligarchy.

they literally tried to negotiate with tyranids twice

[umbral niche]

Not dumb...just...different
That's why I hate them
All xenos should be killed

[neon vale]

they are far less grimdark

[sacred idol]

and then they wanna go to war with the imperium and because they suck at all things that isnt longe range warfare they got munted by the imperium

[pseudo moat]

did smiling friends get renewed for a third season? they are localizing the rooster fighting anime, so I mean they better

[void kelp]

Now that we got the 40K conversation going I’m going to end up seeing at least 6,000 misinformations about the universe and I’m going to have my blood boiling

[halcyon sundial]

uh i cant believe that theres no server iam in, where theres no warhammer fans 😄

[neon vale]

the imperium is so grimdark that its boring and unlikable as a faction

[sacred idol]

The imperium is awesome and so are its themes people just dont appreciate them like they should

[neon vale]

chaos isnt boring because its so cartoonishly evil that it somehow makes the imperium a straight man

[umbral niche]

Surprised?
We are just like the Metal Gear fans
There's always a hidden community that emerge at first chance

[umbral niche]

Keep complaining and end up a servoskull

[sacred idol]

I like the imperial hivecities and their vibe

[umbral niche]

it's just china

[sacred idol]

people only wanna look at the imperium for their war and religious themes

"oh LOL these guys are comically evil but pretend to be the good guys... l ma and o"

[neon vale]

only factions i can get behind are the tau, the skaven, the lizardmen/seraphon, the necrons, and the empire of man

[sacred idol]

The skaven are just based

[neon vale]

the good empire of man

[void kelp]

They are for all meanings of the word, grimdark. And even if you don’t care for the actual definition of grimdark and you replace “edgy” with “grimdark” then sure they don’t have servitors and murder pron but uh, they exist in a strict society with overlords who will literally psychically force you to hurt yourself, they crush opposition and they literally can’t exist in the setting without warfare. Their ideology can’t function if they aren’t in a constant battle, they fit the setting most certainly. Hell, they are more evil than humanity was during the dark age of technology.

[neon vale]

the one that isnt explicitly evil

[umbral niche]

I remember playing hell let loose and screaming like a space marine while charging at American lines

[sacred idol]

They're the most advanced race in fantasy and mog every other faction technology wise the only thing they dont have down is controlling the council of 13 which is always split on decisions making most skaven losses that doesnt include the endtimes a result of the council of thirteen's endless squabbling

[void kelp]

They also are far closer to fascism than the imperium.

If you even slightly understand fascism and 40k lore you’d know that.

[sacred idol]

most skaven losses are the result of friendly fire or bad planning like just letting a ratling gunner rip trough an entire rank of skaven slaves because they were in the way

[neon vale]

grimdark is guaranteed to be edgy

you cant have a setting that is synonyms with "dystopian" or "hopeless" without being edgy

[sacred idol]

the clans when they actually cooperate are so extremely dangerous

they have numbers and strength combined to make any faction shit themselves

[neon vale]

thats an extremely generous way of explaining the imperium and its use of its institutions

[void kelp]

Yeah but there’s a difference betweeen murder pron and “the brutal ways of the galaxy will never change, stuck in a guaranteed endless cycle of violence”

[neon vale]

yeah but both are edgy as hell

[sacred idol]

and along with living underground they can just dig to wherever they need to be they have endless workers and they can work them til they die because brood mothers will just pump out more rats to help feed the warmachine

although the skaven also have a lot of losses because of poor construction

in vermintide theres a level where you go trough a collapsed skaven tunnel

and of course it has a ton of dead rats lying around

I believe the level states its clan festers work

anyway I ranted too much about fantasy rats sorry

[neon vale]

id rather intentionally misinterpret 40k to make "good guys" rather than have it be totally grimdark

[neon vale]

the skaven are terrifying as a faction

[sacred idol]

only when the council of thirteen decide they want to be

[neon vale]

even more so than chaos

iirc most major cities have skaven undercities and theres literally nothing the factions can do about them unless they risk the skaven working together and going topside

[sacred idol]

They have had their fair share of wins like laying ruin to an entire bretonnian city be giving everyone sickness so now the towns just completely lost and overrun

[neon vale]

like what the hell is the empire gonna do about an endless horde

[sacred idol]

nothing thats why the empire hides the existence of skaven from the people because they know if they knew their numbers all morale and hope would be lost immediately

Everyone basically in the empire thought the skaven were just a myth an old witches tale

[pseudo moat]

lol warhammer is so vast, only thing besides attempting to learn the tabletop game was beat boltgun, fun game

place I used to play MTG at had big terrain tables and did events and let ppl play on em with their armies, always seemed fun, super passionate fans lol

[sacred idol]

Ever heard about Norska

[neon vale]

yeah but you can just shoot norwegians

there are more skaven than the empire could ever possibly take out

maybe we will luck out and the oblivion source code will slip out of some of the pre release builds, ever see the psp version of oblivion they were working on? that leaked

then again that engines buggered af nvm lmfao

[mossy fable]

Finally obtained a exotic skoll in dying light 2

What you normally get

[pseudo moat]

honestly i thought the weapons would be more gun centric in dying light lol

[mossy fable]

They did eventually add guns to dying light 2 but they aren't very common per say but I would rather get up close and personal

[pseudo moat]

i played the first one, that had a bunch of guns right? maybe im misremembering ig was ages ago

[mossy fable]

Dying Light 1 was loaded with guns yes

[pseudo moat]

ohhh ok so yeah hence the assumption ig lol second one pretty fun? first i tried out a fair bit but got bored

[mossy fable]

Dying Light 2 originally had no guns then they added an update with a quest to unlock them but you can only buy them from certain vendors and ammunition is scarce

I liked both but that's just me I will point out there's definitely some differences

[pseudo moat]

gotcha, i might have to give it a look see in time, I see people on my steam list playing it periodically and my cousin was obsessed

[mossy fable]

They are also bringing the og protagonist back in a new game called dying light the beast next year

Now they didn't exactly forget he was infected he just struggles with his new abilities trying not to cross a certain line of no return

[mossy fable]

Periodically is due to events

Currently it's a Christmas event which is almost over I think it's done January second

[pseudo moat]

they still run events over two years out lol thats pretty cool

gotta love it when devs actually support their work

[pseudo moat]

oh also that explains the fact you looked like an elf lmfao

[mossy fable]

Yeah

[pseudo moat]

been playing fartnite for the snoop dogg santa costume myself

[mossy fable]

You get to kill zombie themed elves and stuff I think they are called naughty variants

[pseudo moat]

friends wanted to play so humored them, i dont agree with what they charge for vbucks and skins but ill always get the free ones

25 dollar single skins for a free game is maddening then they only sell them for x time span, brilliant but also lmao cursed

[mossy fable]

Me obtaining an exotic skoll which is a very rare drop

[pseudo moat]

BASED, how many hrs and how many of those you ended up coming across?

[mossy fable]

And yes you can throw the skoll and it comes back to you

[pseudo moat]

oh well you dont need guns if that is around really lol

[mossy fable]

Lol also the skoll only comes around during the Christmas event since last year

Just this year the skoll is in the Santa Drops which gives a chance of it being an artifact, legendary or exotic

The gloves are killer krampus gloves

I mixed the elf items from last year with stay human and killer krampus items

[pseudo moat]

lol that holiday spirity stuff is pretty fun ngl, that game get dlc and stuff?

[mossy fable]

There was a paid dlc called bloody ties but they eventually just gave it away for free

So the game is now called dying light 2 reloaded edition instead of dying light 2

I mostly just play to kill zambles and do holiday events

[pseudo moat]

might pick it up on sale, seems keys can be had for like 20 usd

yeah ive been wanting some fun ways to mow down zombies lol does it have players or mostly for events?

[mossy fable]

You can do events on your own or with friends

It's basically a solo or co-op game

To my knowledge Halloween events as of this year will be tower raids

[pseudo moat]

is the multiplayer basically semalessly integrated with the single player? ie like you can play with friends or solo and continue the same character?

[mossy fable]

Yes you can also share items

[pseudo moat]

oh thats pretty cool, might have to gaslight my friends into picking it up then lol

[mossy fable]

Lol

[pseudo moat]

they dont play rpgs so im like stuck playing fortnite and shit so we can bs lol

[mossy fable]

It was funny seeing a friend fly across my screen dropkicking a zombie off the roof

If I recall it's co-op up to 4 player too

[pseudo moat]

parkour zombie killin action gg il lforever be salty that they put out the dead rising remaster, a decade old game and want 60 bucks for that hoe wtf was peeping dl2 on steam and that got reccomended

[mossy fable]

Lol

[pseudo moat]

then like the og ones on steam for ten they on one fr

[mossy fable]

That's interesting honestly

[pseudo moat]

yeah its got denuvo tho, so itll need a fat sale for me to bother tbh

lul it has a demo

[mossy fable]

I only played Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 case zero, Dead Rising 2 Case West, and Dead Rising 2 Off The Record

[pseudo moat]

lol so you played all but the shit wii and ios one, and 3 - yeah you played all the good ones

[mossy fable]

I think I tried 3 and 4 and just couldn't get into those

[pseudo moat]

i won an xbone and got dr3 as my launch title when that just came out - it would drop down to like 10-15 fps

[mossy fable]

Lol

[pseudo moat]

dr but with only like ten npcs on screen at once is sad

[mossy fable]

The 2013 xbone was dogshit

[pseudo moat]

dude I ended up giving my friend a deal for his son cuz i was legit mad, that and ryse both ran like doodoo

it got a lot better and usable later on, but that first one was pretty awful

[mossy fable]

I waited until the Xbox One S was released that eventually got stolen now I have a Series X

[pseudo moat]

series x is a nice piece of kit

[mossy fable]

I changed the LED in mine though

[pseudo moat]

roommates got one, i had to skip out on consoles this gen but thankfully most stuff comes to pc (use pc for work too)

[pseudo moat]

what color? i remember changing out the ROL on my launch 360 to blue and white ones lol

those tiny lights are hell with my shakey ass hands

[mossy fable]

Red

[pseudo moat]

got that darth vader vibe eh

[mossy fable]

Lol

Also the size you are talking about is a 0603

[pseudo moat]

thats partly why I asked, did they get smaller

or well mentioned rather, not asked lol part of my issue is i prolly should have tried hot air to replace them

but I was like 15-16 then and proper tools werent exactly around lol

[mossy fable]

Naw the Xbox One S, One X, Series S and Series X use a 1206

[pseudo moat]

thigns like a lot smaller lol, shit

[pseudo moat]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.znba&hl=en_US this is hands down the most nintendo move ever - lets skip putting all our music on spotify and apple music solely to charge ppl for another music app smh

random dude on reddit added me to his switch +expansion pass family plan, and i had to learn what it was x_x

[mossy fable]

I do things much more difficult than LEDs though

[pseudo moat]

that loosk dope af! you consider doing the controller too?

[mossy fable]

I did

[twin cairn]

G36 goes hard in any game honestly

[mossy fable]

One controller is using UV-A the other is Red

[pseudo moat]

we chip consoles and stuff, used to be more but we do a fair bit of rgh consoles and similiar light work like that, arthritis and nerve issues have had me break shit so my roommate does most of that these days

[mossy fable]

The controllers use a 0805 LED

[pseudo moat]

you do console modding and the like? the amount of ps3 that people bring me and friends has been wierd lately

[mossy fable]

Honestly I don't own a PS3

I mostly mess with original xboxes and game modification but I can fix other things too though

[pseudo moat]

one guys deff able to flip them, i mean me either lol they modded, loaded up with games then I get bored inevitably. PC emulates ps3 so well these days its a novelty lol My that gen console is hands down the 360, modded disc drives, jtag rgh, stealth servers all that jazz

[mossy fable]

One example is I helped make Kotor 2 forced 720p 16:9 a thing on original xbox

[pseudo moat]

oh you know what youre the bro here that has the og xbox with the ram mod i think?

[mossy fable]

The executable was already done by someone else but the problem was nothing placed itself properly so I helped with that

[pseudo moat]

id really be surprised if more than one person here had one lol my roommates dream is a ram and cpu modded og xbox but i think maybe sourcing the cpu is hard?

[pseudo moat]

that game is wierd with a controller but i played it on pc first lol

[mossy fable]

I wish mine was CPU modded the equipment is just expensive

Also I helped test certain things with the restored content mod port from loto

[pseudo moat]

i need to mod one of our og xboxs tbh, rgh 360s with stealth servers have to pick between xbox live working or og xbox games working lol

[mossy fable]

Like me and another person figured out the battle of khoonda dies on a stock original xbox due to ram being the bottleneck

[pseudo moat]

you get into project stellar or xbox hd plus or any of the lovemhz gear?

[pseudo moat]

its got what, 64mb? lol what they did that generation in general was impressive

[mossy fable]

Tried it on my 1.6 the game crashed but tried on my ram upgraded 1.4 it's fine

Yep the ram upgrade is 128MB stock is 64MB

[pseudo moat]

[maybe ill encourage my roommate to do the ram mod so i can play, seems chips are available

https://youtu.be/pFjj0HjkcVE?si=RVceIjHE_er1jli- it kills me how easy dudes like this make stuff look lol

[mossy fable]

2 more recent things i did with the system

[mossy fable]

I talked to him quite a bit honestly

[pseudo moat]

whats the little black board do? the x-atc one

[mossy fable]

The X-RTC is a real time clock mod

[pseudo moat]

oh thats dope, seems he sells tools lol maybe you can find a deal xD - oh im dense, rtc almost always means that lol

[mossy fable]

Instead of using the crappy capacitor that's unreliable you use a CMOS battery

[pseudo moat]

I will say anytime ive cheaped out on tools i regreted it tho, shit gets pretty costly fast

[mossy fable]

I didn't have that thing on since October and it kept it's time

[pseudo moat]

yeah those clock caps be murderous

https://ogxstore.com/product/custom-80-conductor-ide-cable/ these were such a pita to source circa like 2011

[mossy fable]

Last date was October 27th I turned it on yesterday and it said December 30th

[pseudo moat]

i mean sounds like you know what youre doing so not shocked

[mossy fable]

No that's what the realtime clock does it kinda acts like how time is kept on a modern system

[pseudo moat]

https://ogxstore.com/product/spi2par-lcd/ yoooo this is fire! now you dont need those near extinct xecuter screen guys that came with their higher end chips

lol 18 bucks for the ram chips, this dudes pricing aint the worst

[mossy fable]

X-RTC isn't compatible with stellar though only with PrometheOS and the latest Cerbios

[pseudo moat]

gotcha, my roommate i believe runs cerbios, he set up a lan setup and has been wanting to show me this halo 2 mod launcher thing he setup

[mossy fable]

made my own PrometheOS skin lol

[pseudo moat]

i missed out on h2 online majorly, sadly lol grew up poor internet gets pricey af fast in 2005ish

[mossy fable]

If you don't have PrometheOS you can still do it with Cerbios you just need to run the X-RTC app

[pseudo moat]

i see movie thumbnails, whats the theme? my brain says 80s action movie judging by lighting - you ever see how it handles xbmc in modern day? never got to try it back in the day cuz i lacked the ram upgrade, but i could almost play 720p over componenet

[mossy fable]

I'm actually pretty proud of that Xbox

[pseudo moat]

that consoles insanely peak. id still have my og xbox but it got stolen in like 2016

[mossy fable]

It's blade 2 but it's not a thumbnail it's an animated background

[pseudo moat]

do we have anyone making third party replacment shells yet for affordable prices? or is it still locating new old stock for a ton of bread?

[mossy fable]

The other skin is Jared Nomak taking a nibble out of someone while getting shot lol

[pseudo moat]

lol was just watching this https://www.thetvdb.com/series/blade-2011#general

[mossy fable]

Not to my knowledge

Never seen the series just the movies

[pseudo moat]

bummer, some other consoles are slowly having people undertake making replacements, a clear purple one would be fire - theirs a live action series and the animated one, first two movies are pretty good, trinity is meh

https://thetvdb.com/series/blade the spike tv one decided they were gonna take palce in detroit lol

[mossy fable]

my ram upgrade work

Did it by hand

[pseudo moat]

the only one of these ive ever had apart irl had such a bad job i was surprised it worked lol that looks great

[mossy fable]

I don't think I did bad for someone with carpel tunnel and vision issues lol

[pseudo moat]

lol yeah i arthritis and nerve damage, better than i could do - thankfully digital magnification is pretty cheap these days

[mossy fable]

I recapped it and everything afterwards

I ironically don't use a digital magnifying glass

[pseudo moat]

lol they used to be costly, you used to have to be luis rossman to afford them, now you can get decent cheap ones for 50-100 usd depending on needs

[mossy fable]

True but I like to push my limits

Surprisingly only 1 was an issue but it was a very hidden bridge on chip 4

[pseudo moat]

i mean pushing limits is how one improves, deff not growing without it, you do installs for others? could maybe offer ram and cerbios sata hdd mods etc and get your cpu upgrade paid for

[mossy fable]

If I knew people I would

[pseudo moat]

id imagine their are forums and subreddits and the like for people to network, im just so outta the loop

[mossy fable]

The problem is my income I'm on SSI so shipping whole systems is pretty pricey

[pseudo moat]

oh shit yeah I get ebt and all that too, dont fug with them or the irs lol I need a hip and slowly navigating disability for that for the time being

but yeah agreed, if youre in the usa usps flat rate, fedex and ups all have wildly rates and super slow services the last like year. its been absurd

flat rate used to be relatively affordable, but between it going up and being a honkin xbox hueg

[mossy fable]

Lol

[pseudo moat]

classics

[mossy fable]

Super classic lol

[pseudo moat]

but yeah you can tottally make listings on craigslist and fb marketplace and offer services, worst comes to worse you dont get hit up, but we live in the sticks and stay busy

[mossy fable]

Raining Xboxes

[pseudo moat]

just make sure to use a picture and state what you know how to do, if we are running into ppl in a town of 2500, i bet you can do a thing or two wherever u are

[mossy fable]

Very true

I always take pictures to back up my claims

[pseudo moat]

yup you got all the proof and can solder clean af lol people will likely end up interested, wiis and ps3 can be modded without hw, we get a wierd amount of those, even had someone bring me a hundred cd-r and make me burn them games one time

these days dreamcast has the sd card drive emulators thank god, stuff used to be dark

[mossy fable]

I go by do it right or not at all

[pseudo moat]

i mean your names attached to the work you do, you get it out there that you do bad work, death sentence lol also business cards can be really helpful

if you find the right situation, might find a game store needing help with repairs like i used to do

[mossy fable]

Yeah I was thinking about something like that

[pseudo moat]

yup thats why you wanna just put yourself out there and make a well typed ad for visability, also hows surreal 64 with the ram upgrade

[mossy fable]

People I know said I'm gifted I haven't even been doing this 3 years lol

[pseudo moat]

it was always like just ALMOST full speed when i was messing with it last, do you need cpu to do that as well? talking games like conkers and the expansion pack ones mainly

[pseudo moat]

the bars so low, most people these days take little pride in their work and just see the finish line out the gate and make barely functional mods and repairs lol

[mossy fable]

I take pride in what I do like as if it would be the final time

[pseudo moat]

you know what nobody wants? stuff coming back cuz they didnt take an extra half hour cuz now youre fixing it free xD

[mossy fable]

Exactly

[pseudo moat]

Then that bussiness card dude maybe would have given to a friend? yeah thats out too probs

but yeah business cards and approaching local game shops with what you can do is smart, also if you like component level stuff, crts are exploding in value still lol

[mossy fable]

I do hardware and coding so people say I have plenty of ways to branch out

[pseudo moat]

yeah just gotta get your foot in the door, whatver industry word of mouths incredibly powerful

[mossy fable]

Very

[pseudo moat]

not what you know, who you know lol well in this case its also what you know, but yeah xD

[mossy fable]

I was looking at college but that's a tough one too

As I always feel even if you know something now you can always learn more

[pseudo moat]

It would depend on what schooling and how you did in highschool really lol i dropped out and got a ged at 16, so like the community college I went to I was told by more than one employer that they didnt care and just wanted to see my certificates from comptia and cisco etc lol

my ass wasnt being allowed in any school worth a damn lol college is a good choice though especially if you got some income help while you go about it

[mossy fable]

Pretty much did 2 years of school work in 2 months

[pseudo moat]

https://youtu.be/GqeXik2hBMw?si=jt7m4TEvRH1Go2S- OMG WAIT WAT I HAD NO IDEA THAT THESE WERE THE SLOT LOADING WIERD ONES THAT LOOK LIKE PCI

Are all the cpus that they use for these mods the wierd slot loading ones or is this just another case lol

[mossy fable]

I wanna do the 370 socket mod though

[pseudo moat]

im too adhd for any focus sadly a lot of days xD

I HAD NO idea that it was anything besides just one line of cpus lol seeing dude pull this was wild

but yeah the 370 is the 1.4ghz one i see right?

[mossy fable]

It's cross functional if I recall as I have seen 1ghz Pentium 3s and 1.4ghz used in them

[pseudo moat]

https://youtu.be/AMdzuxdJy-I?si=PU18zj0hf8j1zRq8 yeah this is dope cuz if the chip dies you can swap it lol

peak

[mossy fable]

It actually would make half-life 2 stable

[pseudo moat]

bro i forgot that existed, hl2 was a shitshow on 360 even lmao xbmc and the 64 emulator are my big wonders

[mossy fable]

I wished I was joking but 1ghz and 1.4ghz actually stabilizes Half-life 2

The RAM upgrade will allow you to run the homebrew port of half-life 1

[pseudo moat]

like stable stable or just better? from waht i recall it was cursed wasnt it lol

[mossy fable]

So stable you wouldn't even think you were playing the same game

[pseudo moat]

https://consoleking.net/products/full-frankie-service-40nm-65nm-rip-felix-tantalizers-19-bladed-fan-cell-plug hot damn is this ever costly

[mossy fable]

I have seen it done it's not easy

[pseudo moat]

https://consoleking.net/collections/all modern pricing is intense for this shit, like hes selling reflowed launch ps3 that will just die again for 600 bucks

[mossy fable]

Not exactly

[pseudo moat]

did some progres end up being made there? it was pretty hit and miss to repair ylod

[mossy fable]

Those early RSX had faults they'll all need replacing eventually

Later revisions solved this

[pseudo moat]

Newer 40nm RSX Chip: The PS3's RSX chip has been replaced with a newer 40nm chip, providing improved efficiency and reliability. ahhh ok i see now, this the cpu from the reliable slim models or something

[mossy fable]

Yes

[pseudo moat]

gotcha, the socket mod is super cool damn

[mossy fable]

Typically they are salvaged from a dead model and then used on backwards compatible model's

[pseudo moat]

i wondered back in the day why they soldered them, cool to see it progress

[mossy fable]

Most use 40nm but some others use 60nm I think the original backwards compatibility models were 90nm

[pseudo moat]

i mean the 60gb fat ps3 models are quite desirable when working lol i like my ps2 fat tho

[pseudo moat]

chungus nm size

[mossy fable]

Very much so

You also gotta replace and remove resistors after the install so it functions properly

[pseudo moat]

yeah ig as is working ones on ebay for the 60s are 300+

and those are without a warranty and all the work done overall, makes more sense now, i wasnt aware they could cpu swap the launch ps3

[mossy fable]

But there's always a chance that the boards will popcorn during the process so it's normally not a recommended mod unless you got the yellow light of death

[pseudo moat]

oh entirely I did figure that, the ylod is a mystery, isnt potentially multiple different issues like error codes on xbox

[rough narwhal]

@twin cairn I Freaking had the best raid ever i killed lots of sht and did lots of tasks and then when 2 minutes remaining i booked it to the wrong extract

[pseudo moat]

never investigated a whole lot cuz i lack the right hw to go about fixing them, ive done hot air rework station ghetto fixes for friends, but obviously theyd just die again later lol

[mossy fable]

Yes it's not always the RSX but from any repair I seen it's either the tantulans or the RSX

[rough narwhal]

im gonna jump off my window Fk this

[pseudo moat]

oh well at least it can on average MOSTLY be narrowed down, back home i got a working launch model 60gb, but i was holding off on using it and just emulating the games cuz i dont want the ol girl to die lol

[rough narwhal]

back to gray zone dude its my fault playing tarkov in the first place

[mossy fable]

That's the sad reality a beast of a PlayStation but has a short lifespan stock

I also mentioned me knowing something on updating games and stuff because I did this for my modified GTA V on my RGH 360

[pseudo moat]

rghs are peak deff a top 5 modded console, still play some stuff on it online with friends

[mossy fable]

I don't really do anything online with it

I'm mostly a stick to myself kind of person lol

[pseudo moat]

stealth services are a lot of fun to play some stuff, can play with the people on the new xbox but use cheats, i got some love letters playing blops 2 xD

[mossy fable]

Lol

[pseudo moat]

Its mostly checking otu shit that doesnt have online on pc and all that

[mossy fable]

With GTA V I went pretty far lol

[pseudo moat]

that still has hella players on 360 i bet, i had it on pc and got a few mod menus, you almost need them for anti griefing lol

[mossy fable]

Wait wrong loading screen lol

[pseudo moat]

wait they had mods for 5 on xbox lolwut i just knew about the cheat menus really, pc got em but well duh

[mossy fable]

all done via title update

[pseudo moat]

ohh is the file structure mostly the same if you got access to the files?

[mossy fable]

I have GTA V in its raw format and I used a application that can look into GTA V files for 360

Did some texture changes lighting changes some stuff with the ragdoll and the coolest stuff was the wanted system

[pseudo moat]

oh thats pretty cool, i wasnt aware stuff like that existed, that is dope, modded all sorts of other 360 games to some wierd degrees, fable 2 and 3 had mods etc - did you have to stay offline to use the mods for gta?

[mossy fable]

It's a thing just a pain lol

You gotta extract the key from the 360 version and crap for the tool to even work you also gotta make sure everything pinpoints accurately

[pseudo moat]

deff hella ppl hacking online tho, like a lil over a year ago it was solely ppl cheating on 360 xD i can play cod,halo, and gta 5 (they have xbox live gold spoofing for just those games)

[mossy fable]

There's a few more things but it also ends up being like a patch as well where touching one thing could break something else

[pseudo moat]

its dope that texture mods and otherwise worked out, did it bork performance any?

[mossy fable]

Surprisingly no

Funny enough the loading screen is basically just 5 images slapped onto each other

[pseudo moat]

wait the slides arent singular lmfao

[mossy fable]

Like the loading circle in the loading screen is separate from the text and logos lol

[pseudo moat]

i figured those would just be singular static images independent of eachother, wierd

[mossy fable]

Basically GTA V logo, the background, loading circle and loading text are all separate pieces

[pseudo moat]

ahh right on, mod anything else on 360?

[mossy fable]

I have autism so my explaining isn't great

[pseudo moat]

lol i might too honestly, it happens

[mossy fable]

Not really

GTA V is my real 360 modding experience

But then again I have probably dabbled further than most

[pseudo moat]

i been at it since l4d1 came out, you could burn discs with modified files till the 3rd update lol so if you had a console with a modded disc drive, you could burn the game and turn a 0 to a 1 and console commands worked

[mossy fable]

I even tested change's via stress testing to ensure stability

[pseudo moat]

did you put the files up anywhere? if you went through the effort id wager some people might also

[mossy fable]

I used internet archive for some of them but I think your game ID has to match

[pseudo moat]

yeah but i mean their are like 3 of those for the various regions lol

it would need to have the title id to find the dlc and stuff tho yup

[errant tartan]

bros, let's all have a happy new year and all that jazz

[pseudo moat]

yeee you as well homie

[mossy fable]

True

[pseudo moat]

also their arseholes for making ntsc/j not work on ntsc u consoles lmfao

[mossy fable]

I'm trying just pets dying and health declining made this year kinda rough

[mossy fable]

True

[pseudo moat]

aw i lost a doggo not long ago too, its sad

[errant tartan]

I can't deal with pets passing, our old rescue cat passed earlier this year and it sucked

we've not got a new one yet, been a busy one and we moved

[pseudo moat]

im big into shmups and for awhile, the only way to play some games was to fly to japan and hit an arcade but emulation and localization is king these days thankfully ( which is good cuz a lot of the arcades there closed)
