Gaming! Gayming! Gamers and gaymers

Use this channel to talk all about those juicy games that make your brain all happy for a minute when seeing the pretty graphics, when you pull off some sick plays, or if there's any gaming news! As a rule of thumb, this channel is focused more on games than offtopic stuff (which will be redirected accordingly).

You may also talk about news in the gaming industry! Found out a new game is coming out? Share it here! Heard Activision Blizzard fucked up even more than they already are getting sued for? Sure, share it here. Just keep it civil, and have fun!

Sapphire backed Minecraft server by @crystal fern: mc.jurien.dev

[robust vine]

Pokémon games are like fifa games zzzz

First message

[flat peak]

more like third

[viscid pendant]

that server isn't alive anymore

[flat peak]

I asked him which is still up and he told me that one

[viscid pendant]

oh wow it's still alive

[robust vine]

When will you come in again?

[viscid pendant]

never I guess

[robust vine]

[viscid pendant]

nobody is playing on it anymore

I would play singleplayer if I'm gonna be alone

@glossy basin I just realised... when Home releases you can do Maushold Population Bomb holding Kings Rock paired with Victini to get 100% chance to hit 10 attacks that each have a 10% chance to flinch

[glossy basin]

Assuming the dlc will include Victini which is unclear as of now

[flat peak]

well yeah

[viscid pendant]

wtf are you doing there alone

[glossy basin]

I'm guessing wave 1 august, wave 2 November, announced maybe February to may ish

[crystal fern]

It's just my personal world I play one while it's at the same time a server that just runs 24/7

got a sweet deal on some good hardware from a private seller, so it doesn't cost me a penny and it can still host 100+ players

[flat peak]

hey look it's the terastalized onix episode /jk

[viscid pendant]

@candid kraken guess how much this took

[candid kraken]

2 hours

[viscid pendant]

less

70 minutes

[candid kraken]

huh

not bad

[viscid pendant]

mfs don't know where the gas pedal is

💀

a lotta traffic

[candid kraken]

@flat peak

[flat peak]

yep

it's why I don't like FC6 and AC Odyssey

[steady geyser]

https://mrcube.dev/-‌⁠‌⁠‌​

[candid kraken]

don't you have hundreds of hours on AC Odyssey?

[viscid pendant]

average valorant player

[flat peak]

Have you ever watched The Completionist.

[candid kraken]

that's not a good reason to torture yourself

but no, i haven't

he mostly does nintendo and 2d games iirc

[flat peak]

naaah that's just New Game Plus series which coincidentally has just about or entirely been finished recently

he does lots of new games too

anyway

point being

I start a game and I complete it

regardless of time

(mostly anyway, I am not strict like stupid silly challenges I skip)

[candid kraken]

ok added to watchlist https://youtu.be/LK_J23uar9o

weird that he didn't make one on GTA V

[candid kraken]

I complete the story of a game and maybe do some side missions if they're entertaining

but that's only if I like the game

if i play it for 2 hours and it's shit I won't complete it

[flat peak]

Some games that have questionable completion criteria are skipped so that might be why

for example the only reason why there is a video on Persona 5 is because he asked the community what they thought would count as having completed the game and he ended up fulfilling the popular demand which definitely wasnt a full completion

it still took him multiple years however

Likewise Hyrule Warriors also took him multiple years

The latter I remember him mentioning he'd do like 1-2 hours a day for most days

[candid kraken]

define questionable

[flat peak]

https://youtu.be/u5siRHAQXIs btw you probably dont know Hyrule Warriors but yeah this. I'll say now, I spent like .... 300 hours total in this game too. Between the original WiiU release (100+ hours), then the 3DS release (50+ hours) and finally the switch definitive version (another 100+ hours)

[candid kraken]

i replayed gta v like a month ago and i'm at 73% completion after playing the story missions and some side missions (~10 hours, including cutscenes)

maybe he considers it too easy? idk

[flat peak]

"I live in a prison of my own design. I obviously love video games, but by dedicating myself to completing them no matter the cost, I have charted a course for myself that's guaranteed to have some roadblocks"

his opening words in the video and words I (partially) also live by

[candid kraken]

so...

you're a masochist

[flat peak]

cool right

at least I do it with stuff I enjoy instead of stuff I dont

[candid kraken]

sometimes I don't understand how people like you or adrian can do this shit

you play more video games than me

adrian watches more shit than me

do you like

sleep 3 hours a night?

[flat peak]

funnily enough the Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity game didn't grab me at all

(sequel)

shit story, shallow content, worse game play

and Fire Emblem has really lost my appeal as well over the past years

I got mega hooked in 2012 with Fire Emblem Awakening, ended up completing that and its DLC and then went back to Fire Emblem Sacred Stones which I could never complete before because of perma death killing my good characters before the end and same for Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn... then I moved on to Fire Emblem Fates which I completed and Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia.

Then the Switch released with Fire Emblem Three Houses and people praised it extremely much and I can just simply not get myself to ever play it

and now Fire Emblem Engage is coming to Switch and I know I wont buy it

[foggy whale]

After literal months of flghting with it, I finally got satisfactory to launch

it seems they updated to dx12 by default a few months ago, and my gpu didn't want to play ball

[candid kraken]

yea i'll be long asleep unfortunately

[viscid pendant]

you call that long?

bitch I stay awake until 4 at nights before maths exams

[candid kraken]

i have to wake up in the morning, red

and i'm not 15 anymore

i can't function on 3 hours of sleep

[viscid pendant]

well yeah I have to too, I wake up at 6.30

[viscid pendant]

coffee bitch, ever heard of it?

[candid kraken]

adhd

i once worked an overnight shift

drank like a liter of coffee

i almost fell asleep three times.

[viscid pendant]

you need some next level shit then

mix coffee with cola

you won't die of a heart attack (probably)

[candid kraken]

caffeine doesn't work on me

i could drink a triple shot espresso before going to bed and i'd sleep like a baby

[foggy whale]

Not me saving it to the calendar, also i didn't realise it went on for so long lol

1am gmt to 6pm gmt

[candid kraken]

probably won't be THAT long, it usually lasts about 3-4 hours

[foggy whale]

right

time to set my phone to not go to sleep, wake up at 1 am, click the button to watch, and leave my phone muted

[viscid pendant]

something's wrong

time to open an issue

[candid kraken]

the what

[candid kraken]

I've spoken with people with ADHD that get SLEEPY after drinking coffee

anything's possible

[crystal fern]

Yeh that's a pretty common thing with ADHD

I've heard about that A LOT

Not that I played 1 but Hades II is pretty cool

[flat peak]

OMG Kevin Conroy is still the voice of Batman in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League

I was already planning to play that game but that just shot it to 11

holy shit the Star Wars Jedi Survivor trailer has me so hyped @rugged tangle @digital yacht

A Kylo Ren style cross guard for Cal? HELL YES!!!
A grappling hook? HELL YES
And Cal grew a beard? Pog

https://youtu.be/QDi5sZNmjOc ICYMI

and breakdown: https://youtu.be/fYwda0EZMUo

[candid kraken]

it's got a port to PS4, remake for PS5 and it's getting a port for PC

that's... a normal amount of ports

[flat peak]

mark my words, it's yet to get ported to Xbox, Switch, Amazon Alexa and Samsung Smart Fridge

[candid kraken]

it's Sony, we're lucky to be getting it on PC.

at least they port some of their games to PC, unlike a certain company that you keep giving money to

[flat peak]

With a TV show coming out as well I just really feel they're going full capitalist mode and porting it to everything

[flat peak]

Gee god of war has taken home so many awards

[candid kraken]

it's Sony, not gonna happen

also I find it hilarious that you're comparing a game being ported to next gen to a game being re-released with next to no new content over and over.

[flat peak]

FF16 lets you pet doggos

Best FF game

[rugged tangle]

omg, watching now

[flat peak]

btw Nova

there is a prequal novel releasing that's set in between the two games

I wishlisted the audiobook on my audible already

might be something to consider if that's something you like

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Battle-Scars/dp/0593598601

[rugged tangle]

hmm

I'll look into it

anyways, finished the trailer and I'm super fucking hyped

[flat peak]

ifkr

the combat

[rugged tangle]

the only thing that urks me

[rugged tangle]

is the kylo ren looking lightsaber 💀

[flat peak]

cross guard yeah

[rugged tangle]

🤮

[flat peak]

tbh in the larger star wars lore it isn't really a kylo ren thing

and it totally makes sense to have

looking at you annakin getting your hand chopped off

[rugged tangle]

I know, but like

[flat peak]

looking at you luke, getting your hand chopped off

[rugged tangle]

LMAO

[candid kraken]

@viscid pendant SCS is gonna be the reason for TruckerMP's downfall in the future https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/227300/view/3631620553382820942

[viscid pendant]

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING

tho the mp community is already small, we will have a lot of empty servers when everyone will be able to open their own servers

this is the only reason tmp didn't allow community servers

[rugged tangle]

truth

[wintry tiger]

It is true

[flat peak]

@candid kraken imagine completing spiderman

[candid kraken]

so true

[flat peak]

fuck yes

they did the exact same thing where they drop you from a cutscene right into a web swing

[flat peak]

@candid kraken this game has a Vibe The Verse mode where Miles' frame rate drops a lot to make it look like it's the Spiderverse movie

I love it but I also hate it lol

I am rocking the Spiderverse suit tho, hands down the best suit

[candid kraken]

LOL

[flat peak]

oh it also has a visor mod that adds the comic book like POW and BAM kinda stuff

[viscid pendant]

fucking [the word that will get me timeouted]s

[candid kraken]

so true bestie

[flat peak]

@glossy basin can I just say how I kinda dislike you can be searching for a particular mon for literally 30 minutes without succes and the second you use a type specific encounter power you cannot go 2 steps without encountering it

me just now with Applin

[glossy basin]

Oh I just once randomly saw one in a tree and rammed it

I mostly do all the evos first

And then I go for the rare stuff

[flat peak]

im mostly done for that not counter Scarlet exclusives

[glossy basin]

I still haven't watched any playthrough, I'm really curious how the story works in scarlet

[flat peak]

dont you mean violet?

I thought you played scarlet

[glossy basin]

No I play violet

You can check

[flat peak]

Anyway I've been told by my friend that it's basically the same. Sada is an android as well.

[glossy basin]

Hwat

[flat peak]

and she's Arven's mom

[glossy basin]

I mean yeah I knew that

[flat peak]

android as in just like how Turo is

[glossy basin]

But the android doesn't make sense that's sadge

[flat peak]

robot, android, etc

oh you mean coz past

ig

[glossy basin]

Feel like past should've done something past-y

Can't think of anything hence why I was curious

Besides iron Thorns the paradoxes definitely got the better side on scarlet

The past paradoxes are sick

the future ones are really not

shiny iron thorns is cool and that about covers it

Well and Miraidon technically

Awesome design

Other than that, roaring Moon and flutter mane like, absolutely awesome

these people make me sick ngl

Lol one of them even calls himself out on it knowing what's coming for him but does so in a sarcastic way. Fucking idiot.

And yeah same Alex

[candid kraken]

reposting here because it feels like a more appropriate channel:
LMFAOOOOOOOO THIS VIDEO IS WAY TOO FUCKING FUNNY https://youtu.be/GNVAmbB8hEo

[flat peak]

I do kind of take issue with the Reddit comments calling Artemis asexual though. Sure it might be a modern word to describe it but the way the Greek mythology goes is that she simply detested men and the labours of giving birth so she decided to stay virgin forever. That doesn't even necessarily imply asexual because it still opens the door for homosexuality (lesbian in her case ofc) but the concept of homosexuality didn't exactly "exist" in the public eye back when Homer wrote what he did in the 8th century BC

[candid kraken]

Yea that's... I agree with you. Asexuality, like any other sexuality, is NOT a choice. If you make the choice not to be involved with people then you're partaking in celibacy, you're not suddenly "asexual".

(also FYI you can be asexual and homosexual... I'm on the ace spectrum, doesn't mean that I'm not attracted to people at all or that I wouldn't want a relationship, I just don't really think about or want sex)

[flat peak]

Right celibacy, thank you that's the word I was looking for.

[flat peak]

Lmao I love these valve videos

[jagged roost]

LMFAO

[flat peak]

Evolving bramblin be like @glossy basin

[glossy basin]

I just farmed some items for like 3 mins, the steps are done real quick

[flat peak]

i tried that then I gave it candy and it. didnt evolve then it got stuck somewhere and it went back to the ball

so now im sick of such methods and im doing this

[candid kraken]

are you listening to the movie podcast from LMG?

[glossy basin]

Yeah the trick is to not run too far

Like running has it done quick but you need to let it catch up

[flat peak]

yes

uuuhhh Adrian I think the battery of my O3DSXL blew up

[glossy basin]

Hwat, yikes

[flat peak]

looking for something else I took it out of the case and the back is coming off

like it's thick

[glossy basin]

Bad bad bad bad

fire hazard fire hazard fire hazard

[flat peak]

I guess I better trash it yeah

sucks but ... it's the best

[glossy basin]

that thing can explode any given time, sigh

lithium ions, stupid

[flat peak]

part of me is tempted to screw it open entirely first to check but at the same time.. no thanks

[glossy basin]

who designed batteries to be stupid

I get that lithium is cheap

But bro

[flat peak]

funnily enough my DS Lite is fine

way more scratched touch sc reen tho coz of Pokemon Ranger games LOL

[glossy basin]

My N3DS lost a backplate screw so my backplate is always easily detachable

So I would probably be able to get mine out

It has fallen out on its own before when I dropped it

The battery isn't really secured by anything

It's just there

[flat peak]

My N3DS XL is still my pride and joy

it has an anti brick hardmod as well as an audio sender over bluetooth hardmod

[glossy basin]

yeah you can't really fuck up a 3ds anymore, come a long way

I remember unsafe a9lh

I did the 2.1.0 downgrade that permabricks if lid closed

[candid kraken]

bro's speaking FACTS, the last dude is just listing popular games like bro we get it you're an idiot

[flat peak]

5 left before I need to start trading @glossy basin

(the bold italic underlined ones)

I'm also pretty sure my list is missing a few entries so once I do complete all of these I think I need like 5 more but I first want to complete this lot before going through the dex again

[glossy basin]

https://tenor.com/view/ludwig-ludwig-ahgren-gif-25275426

[flat peak]

Tfw at the cinema and I left my switch on in picnic mode with a forretress and a Japanese ditto, now that I have learned you can bulk collect eggs.

Not that I'm really shiny hunting but I figured it'd be pretty funny if I sudde ly get a shiny pineco out of this opportunity

[glossy basin]

I mean you do need to collect them

basket can only hold 10

So you activate egg power lv 2, farm for 30 mins and then you hatch 2 boxes

[flat peak]

Oh

Well I guess I'll have 10 eggs when I'm back then

Good to know tho

[glossy basin]

No

After 10 they go back

You either collect them or they're gone

Actually not sure if that's how it works

I just never got past 8 in one run

And I've been doing this for a while

[flat peak]

I know what you meant and I meant that when I come back home I should have 10 eggs waiting for me

Be that the last 10 or the first 10

But I assume it's LILO (last in last out) - as in, once there's 10 no more get added.

[glossy basin]

Overall this is the best approach to breeding in the entire franchise but I still have a rather full list of things that annoy me and should be changed

But good steps towards a proper designed system

[flat peak]

Yeah for sure especially the 10 eggs thing. No longer having to get every egg individually is a godsend.

And with eggs going to the box automatically you don't have to exit out of picnic either

[glossy basin]

Yeah I do intervals which is fairly efficient

30 mins farming with egg power lv 2 and then hatch 2.5 boxes, repeat

I suggest you buy like 999 red picks and of each ingredient for the peanut sandwich

Cuz I ran out of picks a while ago

And by super awesome logic "you cannot make a sandwich without any picks!"

[flat peak]

I'm not breeding yet tbh and I probably won't

I just breed because I cba to find a pineco to catch

Same for some other Mons

I've already started Spiderman Miles Morales so once I complete my Dex I'm probably stopping the game until DLC

[glossy basin]

Just stash em all in your team then you get eggs for everything

Gangbang

[flat peak]

I don't really care for the community aspects and all that

That ship sailed after Gen 6 for me

[candid kraken]

[flat peak]

Basically I complete the story and complete the Dex, then ditch the game. It holds no further value for me.

I'll probably do the E4 rebattles as well

Don't much see a reason to do another session of the school tournament though.

[glossy basin]

I'm probably gonna pick up ranked once I'm done masuda-ing

I haven't really played since season 10

So might as well clutch some rankings

[flat peak]

Ranked? And you're gonna breed your team's? Train EVs and stuff? Ew. Nah. For ingame it's all pkhex for me and otherwise showdown.

I know bottle caps, ability capsules/patches, mints and all that make it easier

But I still don't need the time sink

I got other games to play

[glossy basin]

It's like three minutes to get the entire team BR

Just need to finish the masuda and then make a shiny sandwich for iron thorns

[flat peak]

Wut

Why 3 minutes

You still need 510*6 EVs

[glossy basin]

It's just pressing A a lot

[flat peak]

Carbos and those don't give 252 EVs tho

[glossy basin]

Ever since gen 7 you can max

[flat peak]

And autobattle doesn't either

Oh

[glossy basin]

Vitamins were buffed like 5 years ago

[flat peak]

TIL

I thought it was still capped

Well if you have enough vitamins to fill your team then yeah it's quick

[glossy basin]

Yeah you can buy everything

[flat peak]

Yeah and money is easy to get with all the random treasure pick ups + LP

[glossy basin]

I have like 600 or 700 plus whatever LP I have

So should be fine for one team

Then once home comes out and I can farm hisui stuff I'll rinse and repeat

you just called valorant the greatest online game? you coocoo

[candid kraken]

weed is often depicted to be smoked in a bong in western media, L

[viscid pendant]

no

fortnite

I am well aware Alex read the strike through text

[ionic needle]

not even close to greatest

It's Minecraft

[viscid pendant]

it isn't fully online tho

[flat peak]

Define greatest

[viscid pendant]

I'm talking about fully online ones

[ionic needle]

I mean Fortnite wasn't online when it just came out either

[viscid pendant]

a game that has great and updated content, doesn't have lootboxes, shitty microtransactions and is fun

[ionic needle]

Idk why they decided to make save the world a dlc and turn the original game into a battle royale

[viscid pendant]

to make the game free

[candid kraken]

save the world wasn't working

[flat peak]

I'd say the greatest online game is DoTa 1, the mod of Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne.

Simply because it spawned the whole concept of MOBAs

There very very few games that can claim the fame of having created a genre.

[candid kraken]

(i'm an early fortniter, i played it, it was fine but wasn't something WOW like BR)

[viscid pendant]

greatest right now*

Mario 64 created the 3D platformer

Halo created the console FPS

i'd probably say that i prefer lol

[ionic needle]

yeah we know you like slurs

[rugged tangle]

at least Valorant has no nearly no cheats or they're detected almost instantly.

Also, why are you installing Valorant for work?

[wintry tiger]

I needed my account in valorant to exist so I can test out commands

Lol

[rugged tangle]

commands?

[viscid pendant]

looks like they are making a bot related to valorant

basically all the Scarlet exclusives + other starters + gengar

[paper dome]

are you wanting these just for dex completion or for a living dex as well?

[flat peak]

the former

[glossy basin]

I can get everything besides the armour, the paradoxes and the legendary, starter eggs also need some time because I'm still masuda-ing and I need to clean out like 5 boxes

[flat peak]

that'd help a lot already

just lmk when you have time

[paper dome]

I have the paradoxes besides roaring moon and the extra koraidon

i would like these back as they’re for my living dex

[flat peak]

yeah ofc I can trade em right back, same when you have time. I can grab my controller right now if it suits you.

[paper dome]

yeah

i also have the other starters

can u trade the violet exclusives just for completion?

[flat peak]

you can have them for a living dex, i dont need em

or well if I knew which were violet excl lol

[paper dome]

mainly the paradoxes

[flat peak]

found serebii page

I just need to catch an extra Iron Hands then you have can have all violet paradox mons I have, it's the full set

[glossy basin]

Iron hands spawn in the crystal cave

Everywhere basically

Easiest one to get besides bundle

[flat peak]

ik

[glossy basin]

My iron thorns shiny hunt is gonna be interesting

Gonna check how much the shiny sandwich actually boosts the odds

[flat peak]

its just the one I have I need for raids so I cant trade that one away to Aino

[paper dome]

ooh full set

[flat peak]

okay got an extra Iron Hands

[glossy basin]

Once I realized encounter powers are a thing the paradoxes weren't an issue anymore, valiant was really ass without it

Basically didn't spawn

[flat peak]

oh I found valiant quite easily after I found a video showing the location

I had much more trouble with thorns

even serebii's instructions were unclear

[flat peak]

ready whenever ig

[glossy basin]

The location wasn't an issue for either but I just didn't get any spawns without meal powers

Once I had encounter power it was like 2 seconds and the entire area was full of em

[flat peak]

new list @glossy basin

• [ ] 143 Drifloon
• [ ] 144 Drifblim
• [ ] 397 Roaring Moon

That's all that Aino couldn't get me right now

I guess Ill join the serebii server...

[glossy basin]

Yeah you're gonna have to for moon, just offer a paradox trade

[paper dome]

that massive list down to just three in two trade sessions. wew

[glossy basin]

I mean that happens pretty often, I got like half my swsh dex filled in just one 30 min session

[candid kraken]

why is your FOV so huge

[viscid pendant]

dunno

I should fix that

[candid kraken]

@flat peak you're usually in games into this iirc: do you have any game suggestions that are open source, have a skill tree maybe, you have different weapons and abilities you can acquire by exploring the world? I wouldn't like anything too RPG heavy like fallout tbh but if it's a good game I'll look over that

[viscid pendant]

not sure about your other points but I know a fun open source game

mindustry

[candid kraken]

oh my god did I say open source? I meant to say open world LMAOOOO

Skyrim might be a good fit but I never managed to get past the first 30-60 minutes, don't know exactly why

[viscid pendant]

💀

[flat peak]

I was so confused

I'll give it some thought and check my steam after Xmas. Not sure if I got anything.

[candid kraken]

appreciate it ❤️

[flat peak]

Actually first that comes to mind is finishing the 2 Spiderman PS4 games but I don't think you want to do that.

Upcoming in January is also Forspoken. It doesn't have weapons but magics and it looks like it'll have what you want.

I'm also not sure how open the 2 Final Fantasy remake games are (Final Fantasy VII Remake and Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion)

[candid kraken]

yea forspoken is on my radar

[flat peak]

I was gonna say God of War but that's not open world so nvm that

[candid kraken]

God of War looks interesting but from what I've seen it's more cutscenes than game LOL

[flat peak]

I mean I listened to the audiobook (narrated by the VA of Mymir) and i don't feel a need to play the game anymore now because I know the story.

So yeah I agree

If they make a novelisation of Ragnarok I'll listen to that too

[flat peak]

Final Fantasy XV is definitely open world, Rpg like, action RPG, and not fallout like

Also a very touching/feels story and you don't need prior FF knowledge

If you wanna go a bit older there's the Overlord games
(Fun fact: made by a studio in Delft 😝)

If you've never played them there's the Prototype games
(Warning: you need to do some patching work to make em run well on W10/11)

If you don't mind JRPGs there's the Tales games. The 2 most recent ones are most bearable imho, Tales of Berseria and Tales of Arise
Granted they also have anime-ish artstyles.

And lastly based on my own steam library there's the more recent Wolfenstein games

So there's a bunch of ideas @candid kraken

[candid kraken]

thank you

played the Wolfenstein games prior to 2 and Prototype always seemed cool

[flat peak]

For anything upcoming there isn't really anything on my radar that is likely not also on yours:

• [ ] Forspoken (January 24th 2023)
• [ ] Hogwarts Legacy (February 7th 2023)
• [ ] Skull and Bones (March 9th 2023)

[steady geyser]

the game doesn't look so bad... at least in cutscenes https://mrcube.dev/-​⁠‌⁠⁠​

ok nvm

the colors just look off

might be yuzu

everything is very blurry

fucking nvidia, it decided to randomly update the drivers whilst I was playing therefore the game crashed, I hope the auto-save managed to save somewhere close to where it crashed... smfh

[flat peak]

Wth

Nvidia has never auto updated for me without me clicking express/custom install

[candid kraken]

at least i'm pretty sure it was a graphics update

because the screen went blank for a second

and you could hear the "device disconnected" "device connected" sound effect

maybe it was windows not nvidia

but still infuriating

yep it was a driver update

[foggy whale]

oh windows update, makes sense

[wintry tiger]

chances of it being nvidia are nil

they dont auto update drivers

windows might tho

[candid kraken]

extremely common windows L

will someone get me a macbook if I say pretty please?

[viscid pendant]

use linux dumdum

if you don't want to use windows

[candid kraken]

there are some things I MUST use windows for

like some games or apps

[viscid pendant]

a macbook is not going to solve those

[candid kraken]

it's going to solve the apps issue

and gaming wise i could just use the PC with a super modified windows instance lol

[viscid pendant]

switch to linux, buy the cheapest intel arc gpu, use it for linux and use your normal gpu for KVM

[candid kraken]

i could get a second hand 2060-2070 for the price of an intel arc

[viscid pendant]

YOU WHAT

[candid kraken]

you heard me

[low wasp]

It’s really good, until you have to do that one thing

[candid kraken]

Which Thing

[low wasp]

Idk some obscure software that only works on windows

Like me trying to use ultimate vocal remover

[candid kraken]

I didn't say that I'd get rid of my PC

[low wasp]

Fair

[candid kraken]

or that I couldn't use Parallels

[low wasp]

If you ever have to decide, get a mac that has a fan

M1 gets ungodly hot when virtualizing in parallels

And starts throttling

I tried playing uno on parallels

It works fr the first 20 minutes

Then it starts becoming unbearable to use

[candid kraken]

bro i can barely afford gas how am i supposed to afford a mac

[wintry tiger]

Very true

Tho 70c is not that hot

But it definitely gets toasty

Then again the thermal mass alone of the pro can help alleviate

[low wasp]

i think i can disassemble my air and add a thermal pad or something like that to the cpu, because without it, it's not really using the bottom cover as a radiator at all

but it will toast my lap if i put the top in my lap

a laptop

NO

i should also get an ifixit kit

[viscid pendant]

wait for ltt to sell that honeywell thermal pad

[low wasp]

@flat peak you're the one who buys youtuber advertised goods, is the ifixit kit good?

[viscid pendant]

if louis rossman says it is, it probably is

[flat peak]

ifixit is fantastic

I absolutely love my kit

[low wasp]

is the one i sent good?

it should have everything i need

but maybe its worth spending some extra

[flat peak]

I have the Mako Precision Bit Set but I've been meaning to get an Essential Electronics Set for a while now for the spudger and prying tools

[low wasp]

also, any discount codes? i have sponsorblock i might have missed them

[flat peak]

I don't know any from the top of my head but you can try something like ltt / linustech / linustechtips / shortcircuit

[viscid pendant]

I don't think ifixit ever offered coupon codes with sponsorships

[flat peak]

btw you can always also just install Honey

I mean you should always have Honey installed tbh

[viscid pendant]

oh well I was wrong

but I can't find a current one

try honey

[low wasp]

how much are you willing to bet that this is hot garbage

[low wasp]

best i can do with honey

[viscid pendant]

these kits are like 5 bucks on alibaba

don't expect much

[low wasp]

i found the ifixit kit on the polish amazon

only 28 euro and free shipping

[low wasp]

LTT???

dude i'm in europe

the shipping is gonna be 25 euro on the 5 euro pad

[viscid pendant]

I know

but that thing is op

it's better than a thermal paste

but honeywell only sells them at bulk

[low wasp]

oh shit

free overnight shipping on the kit too

and delivery to the door

[foggy whale]

lmg has a website they keep up to date with sponsor codes

Always worth checking before a purchase

[flat peak]

[foggy whale]

Its slightly more out of date than it used to be but its here https://lmg.gg/sponsors

There is also https://lmg.gg/scsponsors

(Seemingly there is one per channel)

[low wasp]

it won't work, sadly

the thermal pad needs to be thick af

to contact with the back panel

and liquifying when heated while the logic board is right there does not seem like a good idea

[low wasp]

expensive asf for just thermal pads

[candid kraken]

90% of the time I'm using a laptop I use it on my lap.

[jagged roost]

laptops are portable and light

They should be usable on laps

You don't always have a desk

[viscid pendant]

you use a gaming laptop with a fucking 3060 in it 💀

[jagged roost]

Yes

[viscid pendant]

I'm not saying you should only use it on a desk

but if you can just use it on a desk

[jagged roost]

Desk not available

[viscid pendant]

how

[candid kraken]

who cares

it's a laptop

it's supposed to be usable on your lap

[viscid pendant]

that doesn't mean you should

for example if you are at home just use a desk

not hard

[candid kraken]

are you <slur>?

[viscid pendant]

better for your comfort

[candid kraken]

if I'm at home I'll use it in bed not at a bloody desk

[viscid pendant]

because you have a desktop too

I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about people that use a laptop as their main pc

I don't think german carried a desktop with him while migrating to poland

[candid kraken]

I wouldn't gaf

I have a desktop because it's cheaper

I'd gladly give it for a similar performing laptop

[foggy whale]

i'd happily take a laptop over my desktop

a real pirate won't pay the full price ever

[candid kraken]

that meme doesn't really work because only one of those choices is the "correct" one

[candid kraken]

unless it's an indie game.

[viscid pendant]

happy?

@candid kraken should I get these?

would it make my game less fun because I will receive these at the start

oh they have a level requirement

[candid kraken]

i'm not the right person to ask, i just started to play it too

i'd rather find a game i enjoy than play a game i don't like for 200 hours

[flat peak]

who ever said I don't like the games that I spend 200 hours in

[candid kraken]

this sounds to me like "i just finish what i started no matter if i like it or not"

[flat peak]

Oh well I didn't mean that really

That said I can't recall a game I started that I didn't finish because I didn't like it

I guess I vet more beforehand?

I wish the Steam Rewind said how much time you spent on games.

[flat peak]

ikr

[rugged tangle]

Like, I'm trying to tell who did the longest grinds

And I can't tell at all :/

Reds needs to touch grass

[flat peak]

EIGHT THOUSAND ACHIEVEMENTS?!? Wtf

lol

Guys scroll down to Explore the games RedS played this year

There's some spicy stuff there

Didn't know you were into those kinda games Reds

And you don't even have an excuse like I do for owning such games

[candid kraken]

the excuse is game packs and stuff

[viscid pendant]

cards

[candid kraken]

I own some... questionable games myself

[viscid pendant]

I doubled my money with cards of those games lol

[flat peak]

No wonder he has 8K achievements when 3000 of them are from ||Hentai Girl||

[viscid pendant]

most of them are from zup iirc

but yeah we don't talk about that

[rugged tangle]

🤮

[viscid pendant]

I thought it would be nice to increase my completed game count but looks like you can't hide the games

[flat peak]

640 from Zup! F and 2880 from Zup!

So no, most are still from ||Hentai Girl||

[viscid pendant]

I have 5 zup games

how tf does that game have 3k achievements

I would buy a furry game if it doubled my money like this tho

[rugged tangle]

I think some games should have limits for the achievements, like some games just shouldn't have so many.

[flat peak]

It doesn't have any other content

[viscid pendant]

30 try to 60 try

well yeah those are mostly to spice up your steam profile

with letters and stuff

but I like zup's achievements more

[flat peak]

@candid kraken realism™️

BEST. COSTUME. EVER.

I need one for my cat

[flat peak]

it's so damn cute how he miauws and grabs and picks his paws omg omg

[jagged roost]

We did it, boys

[flat peak]

and like a real cat he doesnt care what you're doing, he's just miauwing

[jagged roost]

Favna has been Españolizado

[flat peak]

huh

[jagged roost]

"Meow" is the expression in English

However, you're using "Miau", which is the expression in Spanish

[flat peak]

miauw is dutch

so big L

[jagged roost]

The Dutch got the rayo españolizador

[flat peak]

no

the Spanish got Gekoloniseerd

[candid kraken]

dishonored free on egs

LET ME FUCKING PLAY

dx11 mode looks like it works better but it runs like trash

and no DLSS

[candid kraken]

with what money

[viscid pendant]

literally crashed after it loaded the save

welp

fuck you cdpr

I guess I will need to wait for an update because I'm not playing this thing without dlss and dx12 crashes constantly

[candid kraken]

why do you need dlss

i have solid 60+ fps on ultrawide

[flat peak]

I think I own the game and it never crashed on me in the few hours I played

One day I still intend to invest proper time in it. I just know I would like it if I just get used to the combat.

[candid kraken]

CDPR recenly released a huge update to it

which is probably what the issue is

[flat peak]

I heard

Next gen update

[viscid pendant]

the difference between us (other than you using a 1650 and me using a 1650 with rtx that is only usable for DLSS) is I use a laptop

laptops displays are connected to igpu, so the frame passes through to igpu when it's generated

which causes low fps

[candid kraken]

yea no sorry that doesn't make sense, lol

Linus even made a video about GPU -> iGPU passthrough and how the performance wasn't affected

[viscid pendant]

link the video

because it does affect the performance

I get about half the fps I should get

[candid kraken]

i can assure you that shouldn't be the case

goofy ass laptop

[viscid pendant]

no this is just how it works

if you don't have a high end laptop with a MUX switch that allows you to connect directly to gpu, you are fucked

[candid kraken]

40-50fps on ultra https://youtu.be/xbq-KtlLdIY

and you're telling me you can't play without dlss?

even if it was "half the FPS" you should be able to play it at 60 without dlss lmao

[viscid pendant]

different cpu

[candid kraken]

didn't you have a 3050

[viscid pendant]

nvidia optimus is only for intel cpus and nvidia gpus

laptop from that video probably only uses the discrete gpu

[candid kraken]

no fucking shit, of course it uses the 3050 and not the iGPU

[viscid pendant]

I don't think what I'm trying to explain is hard to understand alex

[candid kraken]

why would the iGPU displaying the rendered frames from the discrete GPU "half the frames"

[viscid pendant]

just look at this for 5 seconds

[candid kraken]

yes i know how that works, my dad has a dual GPU laptop too

amd iGPU + amd discrete

[viscid pendant]

sorry but I'm not an engineer from nvidia

[candid kraken]

and guess what, games ran super well when it was new

just as well as any equivalent desktop GPU did

and that was YEARS ago

[viscid pendant]

still not the same technology

[candid kraken]

are you telling me they moved backwards in technology?

[viscid pendant]

NVIDIA Optimus is a technology that allows an Intel integrated GPU and discrete NVIDIA GPU to be built into and accessed by a laptop.

[candid kraken]

yes? ok? what about it?

[viscid pendant]

you are comparing this with something else?

[candid kraken]

bro why the fuck would that half the FPS
