[candid kraken]

are you mentally ok

[viscid pendant]

yes I'm ok

and I know the laptop I use

[candid kraken]

what GPU is it

and what laptop

[viscid pendant]

3050ti

• i5 11400h

[viscid pendant]

I don't know the exact model but it is a clevo without a MUX switch

[candid kraken]

you're telling me that a bloody 3050ti can't run a 2016 game smoothly without dlss?

[viscid pendant]

Optimus is a technology developed by NVIDIA that aims to boost battery life. Basically, when Optimus is on, the display is connected to the iGPU of the CPU. The frames rendered by the external GPU have to go through the iGPU first to reach the display. This causes a drop in FPS and performance.
idk why you are denying something like this can exist and comparing it with totally different systems

[viscid pendant]

it can but not when it's passed through the shittiest modern igpu

[candid kraken]

I didn't say that it doesn't cause slight FPS drops

I said that it doesn't fucking half your FPS

[viscid pendant]

guess what

it does

if you want I can plug my laptop into the tv this saturday

which will bypass optimus

[flat peak]

Only if the laptop doesnt have a mux switch

if it does then it can switch to the dedicated gpu entirely

[viscid pendant]

yes and mine doesn't

[candid kraken]

he said like 3 times that he doesn't have one

[viscid pendant]

mux switches only exist on high end laptops

[flat peak]

I didnt scroll down past that msg

[viscid pendant]

getting a monitor is my best solution right now

[jagged roost]

@digital yacht there's a conversation about VR dev with Unity

And omg what a shitpool it is, you need to write the shit to use the least memory possible

Otherwise GC says hi and makes you puke lmao

[flat peak]

not gonna bother with the last percent because im pretty sure it needs New Game + because of a suit and 3 skills being locked behind that

so... Spiderman Miles Morales finished 😄 😄

@candid kraken now go finish spiderman smh

[viscid pendant]

I'm still waiting for the day we will have hardware for unity's real time demo

[candid kraken]

we do, you just can't afford it

[viscid pendant]

consumer level hardware*

[steady geyser]

I got mariokarted

[flat peak]

Skill issue

Should've had a mushroom to dodge it

[steady geyser]

if only there was a chance of getting one

[flat peak]

oh this is one of those custom item games

I guess I should've known

[steady geyser]

yeah, they were added in the last update

[flat peak]

anyway I'm pretty sure in Deluxe you can also use a purple drift boost to dodge blue shells but the timing is much harder

Heck I think I managed with a regular mushroom only maybe once or twice in vanilla MK8 but holy shit is it glorifying when you pull it off

you have to hit the shroom in the very second the shell is above your head and starts to go downwards

[steady geyser]

it is technically possible to outrun blue shells for the entire race

https://youtu.be/rYzAvxJe0g0

[flat peak]

oh no I wasnt talking about outrunning them

shroom dodges have them explode behind you

[steady geyser]

yeah that’s even harder

I only did it once

[flat peak]

I bet that outrunning is only possible on a map like that or baby park where you can drift nearly constantly

[steady geyser]

you also need a specific setup and 10 coins

[steady geyser]

RIGGED

[flat peak]

LMFAO GET FKED

That's such pain

[steady geyser]

I won that race btw

[viscid pendant]

@rugged tangle this was epic

3-9 to 14-12

[flat peak]

Tfw with books under mouse pad it's more comfortable because I can put my arm on my armrest without being in an angle down

Never ask X his salary

fucking american bullshit

[viscid pendant]

idk we have the same thing

it isn't considered ethical to ask someone their salary

[candid kraken]

boomers are just brainwashing ya.

sharing your salary benefits literally everyone but the employer

[viscid pendant]

man we are going to be boomers one day

[candid kraken]

i'm not. i'm as left wing as they come.

and you know what they say

you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

i don't want to live long enough to become the villain.

[viscid pendant]

you don't have much time left than

also our birthdays are on the same day

[candid kraken]

I don't know about that, actually. https://www.ft.com/content/c361e372-769e-45cd-a063-f5c0a7767cf4

[viscid pendant]

fuck I forgot to install bypass paywalls

[viscid pendant]

you are still going to be a boomer

[candid kraken]

not if I can help it

my car will magically wrap around a tree 10 seconds before I turn 60

oh come on who am I kidding, as if I'd bear living 40 fucking more years

[viscid pendant]

nah you can't change the rules I'm gonna call you a boomer when you turn 30

start preparing for candy crush

[candid kraken]

jokes on you you're not that much younger than me, you're setting yourself up for failure

[viscid pendant]

it is what it is

[rugged tangle]

How old are you Alex? I honestly don't remember.

Oh 21, gotcha

[flat peak]

7 years and 358 days younger than me

[wintry tiger]

SO TRUE

[candid kraken]

turning 21 next month, yea

[flat peak]

That's been a long long time since

[viscid pendant]

wait we are that close?

I thought you were older lol

[candid kraken]

i told you we were.

[flat peak]

@candid kraken @jagged roost @wintry tiger did you guys know there is a model in CP2077 of top 10 most horrible person on this planet (read: elon musk)?

[candid kraken]

he looks braindead

so accurate to life ig?

[jagged roost]

lmao

He got NeuraLink'd

[wintry tiger]

Lool

[flat peak]

this is so cool, I can make basically any character chauffeur me around.
(still figuring out how I make them go to the proper destination, ergo the turn around)

[viscid pendant]

this one fits more

[digital yacht]

That would indicate the presence of a brain

[steady geyser]

dlc vehicle looking 🔥

[flat peak]

Grand Bug Auto V

[viscid pendant]

still better than cyberbug 2007

[candid kraken]

at least you can play through the entire game without ever encountering a bug, which can't be said for a lot of games

[flat peak]

GTA doesnt have big boobas, therefore worse

[jagged roost]

Favna's V has some good boobas and booty

God praise the mods

[viscid pendant]

I would choose a normal world over a "futuristic" world that is just full of sex shops

[steady geyser]

npcs at the beach have boob physics

[jagged roost]

Yes but you can't look into their cleavage

[flat peak]

what kyra said

[viscid pendant]

• if you want boobas your steam library already has them

[jagged roost]

• First person

[flat peak]

man clearly doesnt know that is the trademark of cyberpunk (as in the genre, not the game)

[viscid pendant]

doesn't change the point

[jagged roost]

the point is that you're uncultured

[flat peak]

sheltered by the turkish firewall

[jagged roost]

That's literally what you find in Cyberpunk worlds

[viscid pendant]

AT LEAST NOT TYLER LEVEL

[jagged roost]

Like, the fuck mate

Read some fucking Cyberpunk

[viscid pendant]

how is that related to the thing I said

[jagged roost]

Even in Cyberpunk 2020 you'll find sex-boosting implants

[viscid pendant]

cyberpunk meaning that doesn't change it

[jagged roost]

The same ones you find in CP2077

[flat peak]

it is related because it wouldnt be cyberpunk without the heavy focus on sex stuff

[viscid pendant]

that doesn't change my point

idk about you but I find cyberpunk's world boring

[flat peak]

how many minutes did you even play

[viscid pendant]

I'm not you favna, I don't decide by playing a few minutes

[flat peak]

neither do I wdymmmm

[viscid pendant]

I played it for hours and still have it installed

[flat peak]

I already said that if I don't like a game I don't play it at all

you're twisting my words literally 100%

[viscid pendant]

walking feels bad
driving a car feels bad
guns are meh
world is just boring
missions get boring quick

this was my experience

I tried my best to like it, but it's just not for me

got spoiled too much by gta

[flat peak]

granted I've never played GTA V but I highly doubt every mission is a banger either

[viscid pendant]

most are

[flat peak]

side or main missions

[viscid pendant]

main

side missions get repetitive fast

[flat peak]

i mean

[viscid pendant]

yes they are side missions

i know

[flat peak]

were you ever invested in the story that GTA was trying to tell or was it all just shooty shooty bang bang vroom vroom bang vroom through the game

[viscid pendant]

there isn't a story in gta you can invest in

[flat peak]

case and point

[viscid pendant]

it's all bang bang and heist

[flat peak]

Cyberpunk 2077 expects you to care about the story

it expects you to care about the characters

it expects you to care when Jackie dies

[jagged roost]

GTA V's story mode can be summed up in: "2 toxic assholes with a driver doing assholy things"

[viscid pendant]

story can be as good as it wants, I want stuff like cars to feel like cars

[flat peak]

it expects you to care about Judy's plight with Evelyn

well shit imagine that

Grand theft AUTO has better cars than Cyberpunk 2077

what a fucking shocker

[jagged roost]

[flat peak]

that's literally like saying HURDUR WATCH DOGS LEGION WATER MECHANICS ARE WORSE THAN ASSASSIN'S CREED BLACK FLAG

no fucking shit moronic idiot

[viscid pendant]

that's just a name

[flat peak]

one is set in the caribean with diving, the other in fucking london

[jagged roost]

Mate

[flat peak]

the devs aren't going to bother with hyper realistic water physics when all you can swim in is a fucking pond

[viscid pendant]

it isn't that gta's cars feel awesome

cyberpunk's cars are trash

[jagged roost]

The whole point of GTA is to yoink cars, tune them, and destroy everything else

Wreak havoc, kill the police

[flat peak]

if cars would feel shit in GTA it would be Grand Theft Blank not Grand Theft Auto

[jagged roost]

That's GTA in a nutshell

[viscid pendant]

feels like mafia 2's cars but modern cars

[flat peak]

Again

[viscid pendant]

and it's acceptable for mafia 2 since old cars etc.

[flat peak]

Cars are not the main focus on the Mafia games

they are the main focus on GTA

[jagged roost]

Nor they are in Cyberpunk

[viscid pendant]

they are not

[flat peak]

which is why more dev time is given to them in GTA

they are lmfao

wtf dude

it's literally in the name

[viscid pendant]

they aren't are you ok

[jagged roost]

Mate

[flat peak]

@candid kraken pls come in here

[viscid pendant]

go play the fucking game

[jagged roost]

You don't haul your ass by feet in GTA

[flat peak]

I played Vice City and San Andreas

[jagged roost]

You literally steal so many cars in a minute it feels like Detroit in a nutshell

[viscid pendant]

I didn't use cars in gta for stuff except travel and missions with cars

[jagged roost]

I played GTA 3, VC, SA, IV, V, Liberty City, and so on

They're all about stealing cars and killing assholes and cops for equal

[viscid pendant]

ability to steal cars doesn't make it the point of game

[jagged roost]

It is the point

Dude nobody walks more than 50 metres in GTA

[viscid pendant]

and again this isn't an excuse for cyberpunk's cars to feel like shit

[flat peak]

that's 3 listed

[jagged roost]

they would get a heart attack due to donut-induced diabetes before that

[viscid pendant]

ypu aren't going to walk evreywhere in cp2077 either

[flat peak]

it is because the devs arent going to focus on a secondary mechanics as much as they focus on a primary one

[candid kraken]

hot take: mafia 2's driving was good. certainly a lot better than CP's

[jagged roost]

Because there's metro

[flat peak]

1. we never said everywhere
2. you can walk to some places and get there pretty fast still.

[viscid pendant]

mafia 2's driving is good, it's just cars are old and they feel like old

[jagged roost]

Also CP is densely packed

[flat peak]

To give another example, in Spiderman you're not going to walk because the whole point of being Spiderman is to web swing.

[jagged roost]

GTA is more like real world America, a fucking logistics nightmare

[viscid pendant]

cp2077 is in fucking 2077

[jagged roost]

Mate

You can see THE OBVIOUS European influence in CP2077

[flat peak]

this. if you focus on main missions only it's boring. The idea is you cross a street corner and suddenly some side mission pops up and you do it.

[flat peak]

asian / european to be more precise but yes

eurodollars anyone

[jagged roost]

If it was 2007 or fucking Rockstar, you'd have to drive 40km to go to the nearest grocery store

[candid kraken]

CP has you do A LOT of driving, most open world games set in modern times / future do, therefore driving mechanics should be one of the main focuses imo

[jagged roost]

Because that's 'murica nowadays

[viscid pendant]

this

[jagged roost]

But Night City is as packed as an European city

[viscid pendant]

ffs stop defending it, they just did a bad job at car mechanics

[jagged roost]

Even if it's just a fictional city in California

[flat peak]

cars in CP never felt bad to me and I'm 31 hours into my second playthrough and my first was 100 hours

[jagged roost]

Devs are European

It's a bit hard for Europeans to make American cities

[viscid pendant]

they feel heavy

[jagged roost]

Because the logistics are just horrible

[viscid pendant]

and they shouldn't

[jagged roost]

Get a bike then

Also a bit comparing apples to oranges

Combustion matters

And the fuel CP2077 uses isn't gas or diesel

It's a less energy dense one, which affects the cars performance

That's why they're so shit

[viscid pendant]

mate

the caf doesn't turn

[jagged roost]

They do

[flat peak]

maybe you just had a crappy car lololol. Yes some cars are kinda bad. But bikes are very light and there are plenty of cars that are too.

My favourites are:

• https://www.gamesatlas.com/cyberpunk-2077/vehicles/yaiba-kusanagi (bike)

[jagged roost]

You just suck at driving

[viscid pendant]

doesn't turn like it should*

[jagged roost]

The Quadra Type66 Javelina

Fucking marvel

[flat peak]

oh the "doesnt turn like it should" argument

[viscid pendant]

we have technology, cars don't steer like that anymore

[flat peak]

yes driving mechanics differ from GTA

[jagged roost]

It's hands down my favourite car

[flat peak]

that argument was used by Magna too

just because a different game does driving mechanically differently where you hold different keys to make turns doesn't mean the game itself is bad

[jagged roost]

Not because aesthetics, but because it's a car that drives like a SUV and has the speed of a muscle car

While it also drives exquisitely well

[flat peak]

sidenote that bike has a hidden texture for 🏳️‍⚧️ colours that can be enabled with the asset menu mod

[jagged roost]

The Rayfield is fast and elegant, but not as fun

the Coyote is stupidly fun for the desert lmao

[viscid pendant]

it feels lile thecars don't have power steering

[flat peak]

no idea what that is

[viscid pendant]

idk how I can explain it snu better

[jagged roost]

Assisted steering, Fav

[viscid pendant]

the thing that makes you steer easier

[flat peak]

oh boo hoo, I have to steer myself instead of the game steering for me

[viscid pendant]

hydrolics and stuff

[flat peak]

skill issue

like

no joke

skill issue

[jagged roost]

I mean

Favna

[viscid pendant]

ok favna go sell your car and get one without power steering

[jagged roost]

because your car also has one

[jagged roost]

Let's just tell Reds to play BeamNG

[flat peak]

clearly kyra

[jagged roost]

Let's see how long they last without GTA's arcade driving

[viscid pendant]

I didn't play gta after story the fuck you mean lol

cp2077's is just worst compared to any game

[jagged roost]

Reds

Go play BeamNG

[viscid pendant]

I played assetto a lot if that's enough for you

I'll let @candid kraken the car aficionado judge if that is "enough for us". As in, whether it has arcadey driving or not

[viscid pendant]

it's literally a simulator

• power steering is not an arcade thing, it's a thing that exist on every modern car

[candid kraken]

asseto is a simulator, no arcadey driving

but at the same time you can't compare beamng and asseto to a game like GTA or CP because they're two very different genres

[flat peak]

never said it is. I just didn't know the English term but after I looked up the Dutch translation I knew what it was

scuse me for not talking about cars on the daily and in English at that

[candid kraken]

I do agree with Red that the driving in CP could be better BUT it's not that bad, I've definitely played some games with way worse driving mechanics (see: Watch Dogs)

[viscid pendant]

I didn't play WD1 yet so I can't talk about that

but wd2 definitely had better driving than CP

I loved driving in that game

[candid kraken]

WD2 driving was definitely better than WD1 but imo CP driving is still better than WD2

granted, I haven't played it in a while

[viscid pendant]

at least the steering was normal

[candid kraken]

skill issue

[viscid pendant]

no skill issue in AC tho

at least not when I go 1 km/h faster than I should at a corner with an F1 car and spin

[candid kraken]

asseto 🙄

go play beamng and then we'll talk

[viscid pendant]

and lose 10 places

expensive

I would play iracing but I don't want to pay a subscription for a game

[candid kraken]

🏴‍☠️

[viscid pendant]

yarr harr

but no indie game

[candid kraken]

besides, beam is one of the very few games worth buying tbh

[viscid pendant]

maybe at next Steam sale

I don't want to pirate it and I don't want to pay the full price

[candid kraken]

pretty bold coming from someone who owns games that total to thousands of dollars

[viscid pendant]

in dollars

not in TRY

we have regional pricing

[candid kraken]

you do know that the studio won't die if you pirate the game, right?

[candid kraken]

I was talking about me

[viscid pendant]

I just don't like doing it

it's not urgent anyways

[candid kraken]

yet you do it every single day when it comes to other games 🙄

[viscid pendant]

suits can die lol

[candid kraken]

it's better to pirate and realize you don't like it than to buy it and then refund it

[viscid pendant]

bad take

when you refund it they know there is something wrong

it's feedback

[candid kraken]

99% of my refunds were because the game just wasn't for me, not because there was an issue with it

[viscid pendant]

you choose why you are refunding it on steam anyways

[candid kraken]

because when people buy a game and they like it, but it has issues, they don't refund it, but provide feedback every update.

[viscid pendant]

I was talking about if you don't like it

refunding is still a good way to give feedback instead of pirating

though imo games should have demo versions

[candid kraken]

pirating literally doesn't hurt you or the studio in any way, you know this

[viscid pendant]

I do

again, not urgent + I don't like pirating indies

[candid kraken]

good point, the game costs literally less than 2 euros

the lowest it's ever been is 26TRY ages ago while it was on sale, I doubt it will ever go on sale for so little

[viscid pendant]

3rd day of month

[candid kraken]

if your stupid bank accepted money transfers from Romania I'd send you that shitty 1.5 eur 💀

[viscid pendant]

not an issue with my bank

we aren't in EU

[candid kraken]

skill issue

[viscid pendant]

you can send money but it would cost more than tje money you are gonna send lol

[flat peak]

Bold of you to assume developers (non indie ones anyway) care

[candid kraken]

indie ones don't exactly care either

because refunds can be genetic af

that's why almost all games have a discord or at least a feedback page

did cyberbug seriosuly win the labor of love?

how tf did this win when NMS was there too

[flat peak]

because NMS won it before im guessing

All weebs do be mega pissed rn

[flat peak]

TIL it is this low

[candid kraken]

NMS... Project Zomboid...

the reason CP77 won is because it's the only AAA game after Dota and it got super popular again after Edgerunner

it definitely did NOT deserve the award

[viscid pendant]

yeah that aswell

[jagged roost]

@wintry tiger guess what I'm doing

[wintry tiger]

What in the hell

[jagged roost]

A 1200 block long powered rail line

[wintry tiger]

You better be using create trains

[jagged roost]

What advantages do those have?

[wintry tiger]

They're much cooler

And faster

[jagged roost]

Faster is good

It takes a while for the cart to reach the other side, so I pretty much chat in MineTogether

Is it possible to incrementally build the Create Train? @wintry tiger

Like rn I'm using the same rails I'm using to go back to my base to drop cobble and pick more rails

[wintry tiger]

Oh, yeah, if you move the station too

Basically you need two stations and rails

LOTS of rails

Of the create type

Just ponder the train

[jagged roost]

Bitch I basically made 750 powered rails, which use gold

[wintry tiger]

The train is also a multiblock you build yourself

[jagged roost]

I don't think that's going to be an issue

[wintry tiger]

Well those are useless if you go create

[jagged roost]

Doesn't matter

[wintry tiger]

The trains in create are muuuch cooler, bigger and yeah

Ponder the train

[jagged roost]

Oh my god those rails are annoying to craft

[wintry tiger]

Not if you conveyor belt it

[jagged roost]

I have this for the circuits

I'll probably just make another just to craft rails

[wintry tiger]

Why are your conveyors ..blue

[jagged roost]

Belt, and they're tinted

You can tint them

[wintry tiger]

O.o

Creates too op

Pls nerf

[jagged roost]

(And it won't consume the tint)

@wintry tiger more colours :D

[wintry tiger]

[foggy whale]

what modpack are you playing?

[jagged roost]

Stoneblock 3

It's surprisingly better optimized than SB1

I remember when SB1 required 6-10 GB of RAM

[wintry tiger]

well lets seeee

new java version check

most of the shit happens on a server check

[foggy whale]

:(

[wintry tiger]

theres a way to bypass this

[jagged roost]

Look at deez blocks

[wintry tiger]

@foggy whale see reply

if you havent already

[foggy whale]

seen it

[foggy whale]

Which stone block is it?

[wintry tiger]

i think stoneblock 3?

[foggy whale]

I can't find a pack called stoneblock 3

[wintry tiger]

@jagged roost whats it called again

I dont remember

[jagged roost]

This one is Stoneblock 3 1.5.0 for 1.18

From FTB

[foggy whale]

Gonna look there, can't find anything later than 2 on curseforge

[jagged roost]

There we go, @wintry tiger

Now to set up the lava eggs

Oh... it doesn't connect from below

Connected it from the side, against the wall to hide it

I love how compact this thing is

WHAT, IT REQUIRES OBSIDIAN DUST?

God.

Oh, I can wash magma blocks

And the cruncher has a 75% percentage of giving me more obsidian

Oh, fucks sake, I did the chain backwards

Fixed

[foggy whale]

It crashes whenever I load into a world

[wintry tiger]

give it more ram

[jagged roost]

Oh no, more sequences

What's the setup for a player-transporting train? @wintry tiger

[wintry tiger]

You need to build out the train

Add a chair or something

Convert the structure to a train

Then ride

[jagged roost]

A chair and train controls?

[wintry tiger]

Probs

[jagged roost]

Ok, now I need to build that piece for the train controls

I think I'll only need that piece only

So I'll just reuse the chip chain

Heck, ran out of andesite

lmao I love the mining laser with 3x3 + efficiency V + magnet

20 stacks in less than a minute

[foggy whale]

Gave up trying to launch it, I gave it like 25GB's and it's still crashing

[digital yacht]

Give stack trace

[foggy whale]

hm, That's not all the logs...

[jagged roost]

This is the progress in replacing the rails, @wintry tiger

Sadly, I have to expand the height from 3 to 5, so I'll have to make several trips, and then almost double down when I reach 750 (end of the powered rails)

[wintry tiger]

gl

[jagged roost]

lmao @wintry tiger

Time to build another control

[candid kraken]

[jagged roost]

Done

This is such a chore

[digital yacht]

Tf, where is the latest.log

[foggy whale]

that is latest.log

[digital yacht]

Why isn't it named as such 🤔

Anyway gimme a little and I'll take a look

But it also looks like you've got runtime issues

Have you tried using oracle JVM?

[jagged roost]

Reached the end of the rails, @wintry tiger

[digital yacht]

Tf are you playing on a public server

[jagged roost]

Nope

That's MineTogether, a global chat

[foggy whale]

vencord plugin

[candid kraken]

why do you need a plugin that changes the filename of something you're sending

[foggy whale]

idk, it's just something I enab;ed

[jagged roost]

This is the progress so far

Like 55% expanded tunnels, 40% rails placed

I applied Silk Touch in the laser so I can get stone and use it to build the tracks

But dang, the tracks do take a while to be assembled

How did I overfill without filling

[wintry tiger]

you didnt

yellow is saturation

[jagged roost]

Any way to increase the train's maximum speed? @wintry tiger

[wintry tiger]

idk for sure

oh you can power it

[jagged roost]

Oh? 👀

[wintry tiger]

idk how

but you can

oh its configured by the mod config

so sadly no

[jagged roost]

I hate this

Gotta have minions for this crap

[viscid pendant]

which modpack is this

[jagged roost]

Do I drive thru them?

[viscid pendant]

[jagged roost]

Stoneblock 3

And at the end, I drove thru those pigmen, instakilled them

[jagged roost]

What is a chicken doing there

[foggy whale]

I've spent over an hour trying to get this shit to launch

[jagged roost]

lmao

[foggy whale]

I'm now just back tracking java updates until it launches

[foggy whale]

What java version are you running the pack on?

[wintry tiger]

17

[foggy whale]

ight

tried 17.05 now i'm trying 17.02

[wintry tiger]

you shouldn't downgrade

lol

and also i'd check what java flags the launcher is passing

[foggy whale]

seemingly none

[jagged roost]

Currently recharging the laser, Vlad

1M RF left, charging at around 1.8k RF/s

[digital yacht]

have you tried using a different vm?

I can't understand it but you're getting issues with json parsing

I assume you've tried nuking + redownloading all files anyway

but the specific issue you're having is that patchouli is trying to load advancements when you start the world, and the json reader is having a fit because of some strange data

[digital yacht]

How

[wintry tiger]

If you've got it installed already add that in and it should work

[jagged roost]

Now it does

[steady geyser]

it would be very convenient to have those today

especially for how I have my pc and monitor positioned

[candid kraken]

not really

it was needed back in the day because CRTs were really power hungry

but nowadays most monitors have a built in power supply

[steady geyser]

mine doesn't :(

[candid kraken]

skill issue

[flat peak]

Looks like Forspoken is the next game in line to release like absolutely shit optimized on PC

It also doesn't capture the mouse in FS

So multi monitor, move mouse left, click, boom focus lost

illegible legend on the key hints as well 10/10 guys

and making a sharex screenshot kicks it out of fullscreen and into windowed mode

dude these are ailments that we fixed 10 years ago with PC ports lmfao

what is this shit

you have to change the "Image Quality Preset" to "Custom" before you can change any options starting from "Image quality". You cannot just change them and it changes to custom automatically like literally any other game.

and despite the fact that it shows the options on the right, you have to click the item on the left first before you can change to a different option

un-fucking-believable they have the audacity to ask 80 euros for this

[flat peak]

okay this is in the menu, not in-game. But it's still unacceptable.

at least I get a stable 90-ish fps with raytracing off but man

[rugged tangle]

I was honestly interested in Forspoken. So it's just basically shit on PC?

[flat peak]

there is a demo on steam

so try it yourself

that's what im playing rn

[rugged tangle]

Yeah, not like I'll get it anyways for a long time. Currently broke af 😀

[flat peak]

I want to know if it

it's even worth pirating

because I really want to play it but fuck i'm never ever paying 80 for any game on release

unless it's a digital deluxe edition, includes a season pass, on release extra missions, and it's from an established franchise (looking at you AC, granted I always grab my 20% ubi discount through ubi points)

time to try playing with controller because keyboard mapping feels iffy too

okay with controller is def better

I need some getting used to all the buttons and such but that's normal

what I heard of the people who played the PS5 demo to just use the red magic ... is very wrong. Enemies have resistances and weaknesses to either one and purple seems to be more ranged and defensive whereas red is more close combat and offensive and some enemies call for one or the other.

well

my conclusion is

it runs buttery smooth on my pc

play with controller

and it's probably fun

cant say much on the story because the demo doesnt address it. The demo is all about gameplay.

[flat peak]

yeah I think I know enough tbh. I don't need to play the demo further. Can definitely recommend it for anyone on the fence. I still wouldn't recommend buying it for 80 euros but if you have a 3070 or higher and preferably an NVME SSD of PCIE gen3, 4 or 5 (this game has DirectStorage) then you're good

[rugged tangle]

Even $60 for a game feels like a lot. Looking at you SW: Jedi Survivor

[flat peak]

60 has been the normal price for over 20 years wdym

[jagged roost]

Wages went up
Team sizes went up
Greed from [gamedev] executives went up

It's just surprising the standard has been 60€ for so long

I love that jingle

interesting he says that apparently even on normal difficulty the game is still hard to master and he nearly died a few times and he mentions how the community manager of the game also noted that all the gameplay we've seen so far was basically from pro's who played it a LOOOOT (i.e. testers)

I totally know that feeling. I remember working on Ta'Va and being able to make pixel perfect jumps and skip pretty big chunks because I played it soooooooooo much. Jumps that no one else was able to make.

@jagged roost smh inviting me to stoneblock when

You'd just blow the Mekanism reactor

Also we're endgame now, so it's not really a lot of fun anymore

[viscid pendant]

he's just gonna start a nuclear war

nothing big

[jagged roost]

I mean

Both Vlad and I are running Gem Armour set

And we're 1 stew and 1 singularity close to having our first Infinity Catalyst

(Even so, the stew is almost done, all ingredients are ready, I just need to rearrange the crafter)

This beauty generates a fuck load of energy

And we somehow consume a fuck load of energy too

Oh right, the reactor consumes 1.2M FE/t

While the turbine generates 36.2M FE/t

[wintry tiger]

the reactor fuel generator does, ye

tho we have a MASSIVE buffer

[jagged roost]

We have massive buffers everywhere, mate

[flat peak]

wait until the end

[flat peak]

if I see these speeds I really wonder what unit that's in @candid kraken. Km/h would make sorta sense because with Mph it would be even more than this in km but like ???

[candid kraken]

neither makes sense tbh

[viscid pendant]

cyberbug units

if you take it as km/h, that's as fast as a fucking plane with 2 or 4 jet engines

[flat peak]

we get it Reds, you dont like the game, no need to rub it in

[viscid pendant]

if you take it as mph that's still as fast as a fucking plane

[flat peak]

I mean there are literally 4 jet engines under the car

so

[jagged roost]

I mean, is that not a jet car?

[viscid pendant]

I was talking about these bad boys

[jagged roost]

Actually

That's not a jet, that's more ionic

[flat peak]

if you think those output the same energy levels as ionic engines then you got something coming for you reds

if you watched any sci fi at all then you know these kinds of engines pack a punch

[viscid pendant]

idk man I didn't live in 2077

but I'm pretty sure that unit is not km/h or mph

[viscid pendant]

also I don't think something that small can produce more energy

according to physics at least

[flat peak]

dont ionic engines use nuclear fision or sth

or was ionic electricy field based

anyway they might be fision based too

[viscid pendant]

also one more thing

those ion mumbo jumbos are looking down

they are probably tilting when going forward

[flat peak]

coz it's hovering in place

yes

they are

[viscid pendant]

ok no this is too much for my brain

[flat peak]

mind you idk how much of this is CDPR code and how much is the mod that activates it

but considering there is a whole flight UI and flight specific quick hacks I'm guessing it was cut content

[viscid pendant]

they should have just delayed this game again

[flat peak]

doubt it would've mattered much

[viscid pendant]

I was hyped because of the trailer and the gameplay they released

game releases and half the stuff is gone

[flat peak]

I was never hyped

no but fr

you only got yourself to blame for hyping yourself up

come on after watching those stuff everyone expected something better

[flat peak]

i watched barely any trailers lol

in fact hogwarts legacy in the first game in yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars of which I consumed loads of trailers

i didnt see any of the E3 demos of the game for example

I think the only 2 trailers I watched were the ancient one with the woman in the white dress, and the one at the game awards after the Breathtaking comment

jet engines during flight @viscid pendant

[viscid pendant]

that's tilted a lot

you are decreasing the force that keeps you afloat by a lot

anyways it's not a sim game
