and not releasing it unfinished like CDPR does with every one of their games

[flat peak]

hah other game companies must be crying rn

so many other games that got delayed or didnt get release dates because they were afraid to be conflicting with GTA 6 amd they'd rather not

[stoic laurel]

holy shit, that's near

oh wait

2026

I'm blind

I read it as coming this month 💀

I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This delay has ruined my life and my expectations. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Rockstar. I am no longer a fan.

[low wasp]

I skipped my sister’s funeral when they dropped the first trailer. Now she’s dead AND I have to wait two more years? Unbelievable. I also missed my daughter’s birth because I was moderating a "GTA VI Leaks" Discord. Wife changed the WiFi password and took the baby to her mom’s. Sent her a 47-minute voice memo explaining why the delay is worse than childbirth. She replied with divorce papers and a screenshot of my Steam hours (4892, by the way). Judge says I get supervised visitation 'if i comPLETe TheRapy.' Therapy won’t fix THIS betrayal, Sharon. Fuck you, Rockstar.

[low wasp]

[flat peak]

😂

[flat haven]

looks nothing like jack black tbh

[steady geyser]

yup I’m done with this game

[steady geyser]

omg guys we've got leaves on pool drains

CIV 6 Platinum Edition is free rn on epic games
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/sid-meiers-civilization-vi--platinum-edition

[steady geyser]

this better not be shit considering I paid 0 euros to play it

[flat peak]

it's a super great game wdym

[steady geyser]

it wasn’t at launch xd

welp everything is going smoothly so far

somehow getting 144fps on ultra

[flat peak]

it was still a great game at launch

people were just whinny bitches

big fucking deal if your character tposes sometimes, that's funny, not game breaking

@jagged roost can also confirm

[flat peak]

playstation

there's your problem

[steady geyser]

jk I don’t even have a ps

[viscid pendant]

it really wasn't

[steady geyser]

0/10 game can't eat the hotdog

and it made me hungry

[viscid pendant]

at least if you were expecting what cdpr "promised"

if you just played it without any hype etc. then it was probably ok

same reason why NMS wasn't a great game at launch

[flat peak]

Im in that latter group

[viscid pendant]

makes sense

people were angry because cdpr promised tons of stuff before launch, even showed some of them in gameplays, then delivered none

it wasn't just the performance issues or bugs

[steady geyser]

wtf is up with this one

[jagged roost]

You're playing with literal minimum settings

Wait until you learn about automatic LOD

[steady geyser]

I've got every single setting on ultra wdym 😭

[flat haven]

man I have my shit on high/medium and the npcs dont look this bad

[steady geyser]

ok I double checked and I don't have ray tracing enabled, that's it, everything else is ultra

no fsr or frame gen

[steady geyser]

bruh we've got the same pc

Cleared my first ultimate raid in FF14. We started on July 11th and today after a grueling 5 hour grind with 2 very very close clears we finally got it.

It looks insanely cool

[viscid pendant]

I didn't even play the previous one

[pulsar roost]

Booo

[viscid pendant]

[flat haven]

Im tryna see how many single player games I can beat before gta 6 comes out

• GTA 5 [23 Hours]
• Call of Duty Modern Warfare campaign [6 Hours 27 Minutes]
• Red Dead Redemption 2 [56 Hours 32 Minutes]
• Spider Man 2 [25 hours 10 minutes]
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Death Stranding

[viscid pendant]

man RDR is long

[flat haven]

it really is

I hope gta 6 is as long as rdr2

i loved the story

[viscid pendant]

still didn't finish

[viscid pendant]

1$ per hour of story is good enough for me

[flat peak]

meanwhile me in MMO world

[digital yacht]

I'm really tempted to make a sex manic cult religion and then use the new dlc to spread it across the planet

[pulsar roost]

Lovely

[jagged roost]

I’m one of these xd

wow holy shit

I saw a notification here and Discord, instead of showing the last messages, proceeded to show me your message from 2022

[candid kraken]

LMAOO

[wintry tiger]

I am now the proud owner of an xbox ally x

And i actually love it wtf

[flat peak]

I should reinstall windows on my rog ally x to have the new Xbox ally x stuff on it

I've been having some issues with the current install anyway

[flat peak]

Anyone know if there is already an iso or such for a windows with handheld mode?

I can't find it...

only that it's part of insiders build

[low wasp]

https://github.com/8bit2qubit/XboxFullScreenExperienceTool

I think you need to be on insiders tho

[flat peak]

bleh I dont want to install insiders on the rog ally x. ill just wait then.

[candid kraken]

that's mainly used for desktops, no?

no insiders needed btw https://sx.kvcs.dev/bzHv9t7ZfD.png

[steady geyser]

imagine having updates 🥱 /s

[flat peak]

yeah I know

and wanna bet that once again Nintendo isnt gonna recognise my Zelda's birthday 😄

(it's on the 21st of february)

[wintry tiger]

dont you just boot into bios, and cloud recovery it?

[flat peak]

I have an ROG Ally X. Not an Xbox Ally X

[wintry tiger]

doesnt answer my question

idk if asus changed the cloud image to be the new one

https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/comments/1niwsfi/guide_for_enabling_the_full_screen_experience_on/ oh

@flat peak this might help

[flat peak]

Saved it but it still requires insider which I don't want to install on the Ally so not for me for now

[wintry tiger]

you need 25H2

not insiders

[wintry tiger]

4 months ago btw

pretty sure 25H2 is out by now

[jagged roost]

It is

[candid kraken]

its been out for a while yea https://sx.kvcs.dev/BVUkb_zoAE.png

[candid kraken]

hell, look here

[wintry tiger]

apparently

i have the experience on MY PC

[pulsar roost]

@wintry tiger @flat peak do y'all think a ROG Ally X 24GB 1TB for 570€ is a great deal?

They seem to go for 800€ new, so I thought it was a bit sketchy but pics seem to be great (it's turned on & stuff, has peripherals and box) and the seller has 100% rating with 45 items sold on Ebay

I guess I'll find out if that was a too-good-to-be-true deal in a few days, but I paid w/Klarna so I can pretty easily get my money back otherwise, /shrug

I was pretty bent on a Steam Deck OLED because of screen and battery BUT I'm never going to catch it in stock due to AIBros & I guess at the very least I can install Bazzite on the Ally X

*It is a 2023/Z1 Extreme model

[low wasp]

not enough child gambling tbh

needa get the steam one

[pulsar roost]

Apparently you can find the Z1 Extreme for like 300-400€ bucks 💔

I am cancelling that order and scouring Ebay better

Which is kinda surprising

Somehow the Xbox Ally does not seem to be that big of an upgrade either
