goddammit i was looking for it guess ill fav it

[thin bobcat]

Damn, Borderlands 4 has a ton of negative reviews, tf happened lmao

[oblique belfry]

the usual ue5 problems

[torpid glacier]

it's borderlands but released today so people realize it was never actually that good

[thin bobcat]

So they did not optimise it at all

[slim magnet]

post threatinteractive gaming culture

[thin bobcat]

[oblique belfry]

Nobody is still saying anything against story / gameplay / visuals
but every negative review is about optimization and crashes.....also denuvo

[wet lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/biff-tannen-biff-trash-know-your-place-gif-5411029464619556384

[thin bobcat]

Ah, they are using Denuvo as well, explains the mention of it earlier

Yeah that game will never fucking run

[oblique belfry]

bro fucking folded not even an hour into the game

[thin bobcat]

Denuvo VM + UE5 without optimisations

That shit will never run

[marsh cargo]

im going to have to check how many of the complaints are real and not just
this meme

[slim magnet]

borderlands died on the pre sequel

[oblique belfry]

at least its just optimization for the time being.
nobody is saying anything about the game itself

[slim magnet]

you could argue it also died on 2 but to revive as a better and more solid idea

[oblique belfry]

OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT.

[slim magnet]

but after the pre sequel it's just meh

and even then tps honestly just doesn't have content because some of the classes are super fun

[oblique belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-anime-gif-22734101

it fits bl4 reviews rn hold on

[thin bobcat]

I am tempted to buy it, just to see if I can run it but I do not care enough anymore after Borderlands 3 to shill fucking 70€

[oblique belfry]

i love how they tried to automate every negative steam review there is

the auto message in question

[thin bobcat]

Help me? Damn

[torpid glacier]

Negative review says "I will firebomb borderlands headquarters, the gameplay is trash." and it still gives the PC optimization message

[thin bobcat]

I think someone might've had a bit too much crack in the workplace environment

"Help you"

[torpid glacier]

Not enough crack

[thin bobcat]

How about you fix yo stupid ass game lmao

[wet lantern]

Perfect Cell is such a good VA

[oblique belfry]

dear god it fits so well with the song

[thin bobcat]

"PC optimization can be a bit tricky", since when do I have to pay fucking 70€ and then put in the work myself

[oblique belfry]

IT ALL COMES TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOOOOOWN

[thin bobcat]

Double it and give it to a meth junkie, it's a better investment

[marsh cargo]

[slim magnet]

does borderlands 4 have a character as fun to play as athena or zer0

[torpid glacier]

At this point charge us 90 USD and then make us create the game ourselves without help

[thin bobcat]

You'll have an answer in about 6 months, when the people can finally run the game

[marsh cargo]

watch them drop a free dlc as "compensation" and everyone forgives them

[oblique belfry]

some looks interesting

LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOOOWN

[thin bobcat]

I mean, why pay 70€ for a game that just crashes, I can make you a program that does the same for just 15€, if you pay 20€ extra I will crash your computer as well

[oblique belfry]

the song is perfect for this situation i love it

[marsh cargo]

In comparison HoC tuah is an optimized game

[oblique belfry]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[wet lantern]

[oblique belfry]

im fucking screaming

[thin bobcat]

Yeah I think it's for the best if I just skip this one entirely lmao

[oblique belfry]

love how they dont even mention normal 30s just TI's

you should. Because apparently 30s are low graphics gaming now according to gearbox

[torpid glacier]

How will doge's PC run borderlands 4?

[thin bobcat]

@frail leaf Bird is currently a bit hesitant, try encouraging him a bit

[frail leaf]

Hey Bird! 🐦✨ You’ve got this! Just take a little leap of faith, and you'll find your wings. Remember, every great journey starts with a single step. I believe in you! 💚🌟

[oblique belfry]

i was determined in s2 but nah chief this is beyond me

[thin bobcat]

" and you'll find your wings."

Alright

[torpid glacier]

I remember I sent you a mod that just disabled the lightning and it fixed the performance I think

[oblique belfry]

turned my game into Fallout new vegas thanks

[torpid glacier]

"Let's see if you can fly... On borrowed wings!"

[marsh cargo]

the new daemon x machina is
ok

[torpid glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/armored-core6-armored-core-mecha-mech-gif-27220299

[oblique belfry]

but sadly memory leaks were eventually the end of me. Everytime i launched the game even without lumen it started to start in 20 fps more and more so i just gave up

[torpid glacier]

Nightfall my beloved

[wet lantern]

Poor thing is gonna toast itself instantly

[torpid glacier]

Roast a marshmellow from the fire

[marsh cargo]

the fact that the head also does this ingame is peak

[oblique belfry]

1440p GAMING BTW

HELLO ? 3070 TI ON LOW ?

GEARBOX WHAT ARE U SNORTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE 30 SERIES AS "LOW"

i love how anti-aliasing is disabled on every gpu btw

[wet lantern]

DLSS does that

[thin bobcat]

I still remember buying Borderlands 2 for like 30€ when it released and being able to play it on whatever GPU because it just worked, the graphics were in a custom style, so it didn't matter if they were shit or not

[thin bobcat]

But now they have lost their mind entirely

[oblique belfry]

and now since 50 series does not have physX you play with 20-30 fps with 5090

[thin bobcat]

70€, Denuvo and nothing is optimised

[oblique belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dUjUNrbHis

[thin bobcat]

Well, I don't really mind, I can just install a second gpu if I really wanna play it again

[torpid glacier]

@oblique belfry your pc running borderlands

[oblique belfry]

[thin bobcat]

* That gameplay was recorded on a rig with a 5090, 128gb of ram and a Threadripper

[oblique belfry]

fun fact.
Stalker 2 did NOT crash my gpu once

[wet lantern]

My 2060 goated beats a 5090 on bl2

[torpid glacier]

5090 when it can’t run terraria

[thin bobcat]

I mean, not a lot of strain on the gpu if you just look at the launcher artwork

[oblique belfry]

ye see i played stalker 2 with my rx570 4 gb

Not just standing still ACTUALLY made progress. like 9 hours of progress even

[slim magnet]

god the siren looks cute

[thin bobcat]

Stalker 2 didn't crash for me either but it just was not enjoyable, the game stuttered no matter what

[oblique belfry]

i wish stutters were the only problem for me

for example lemme find it

[slim magnet]

same

[thin bobcat]

You have a GPU that is about as old as me, I can understand that it won't run fluently

[slim magnet]

no crashes at all but it was stutter city

[oblique belfry]

imma send 1 screenshot then sleep

[slim magnet]

the game is great tho

[torpid glacier]

Stalker 2 ran fine for like 30 seconds and then went to 4 fps until I restarted my pc

[slim magnet]

but it had unplayable performance

[wet lantern]

Rostok stuttering

[thin bobcat]

Didn't finish it, I was getting bored already and the performance was so shit, I just kinda uninstalled it

[slim magnet]

the thing i took the most issue with is this shit with literally all games nowadays that they absolutely NEED to be seamless open worlds

like what the fuck is the point dude, what depth does it add

[torpid glacier]

Not everything has to be Elden Ring size, nor does it need Bethesda loading screens.

[oblique belfry]

@thin bobcat

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I am happy if they think a bit ahead and add seamless loading of the surrounding area but that doesn't really help when the game runs like shit

[torpid glacier]

Also, I made some strawberry rhubarb jelly.

[slim magnet]

i also didn't finish it, got halfway through it before i couldn't just say "nah dude it's fine my rig is just weak trust!!!"

[thin bobcat]

what

[oblique belfry]

im telling you i was playing fallout new vegas

[hexed kernel]

[torpid glacier]

Nice fishing pole

[verbal lodge]

i hope nobody here got scammed into buying bl4 day 1

[torpid glacier]

More than you think I imagine

[oblique belfry]

@forest acorn

[verbal lodge]

judging by these performance logs

[thin bobcat]

No, that is not fallout new vegas, the lowest graphics in that game could not replicate that

You have a literal fucking triangle as the iron sight

[oblique belfry]

it happens when i 1st load in. Takes about 1-2 minutes to load everything

[torpid glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/solid-snake-solid-snake-not-metal-gear-solid-gif-14480942659066849172

[hexed kernel]

ok but why did you willing put yourself through this?

[oblique belfry]

anyways 4 pings to close off the day

[forest acorn]

@hexed kernel

[torpid glacier]

It’s zone manufactured ergonomics, using anomalous energy for… stuff.

[oblique belfry]

got a surge of determination idk

[hexed kernel]

haii

[forest acorn]

[torpid glacier]

@oblique belfry

[forest acorn]

i been having fun with it lol

[oblique belfry]

no issues ?

[forest acorn]

its been crashing sometimes

[oblique belfry]

[torpid glacier]

“Sometimes”

[forest acorn]

it feels like whenever I enter a new settlement it does it and then never again for some reason

[slim magnet]

for me the issue with it is that it's just shoehorned in, there is never shit to do in the vast open world and more often than not traversing through it is intentionally clunky and cumbersome to account for the lack of a loading screen to hide the pop ins

[torpid glacier]

I love games that talk about having the biggest open worlds but there’s absolutely nothing to do

[slim magnet]

both points which are unsurprisingly never an issue in games that were designed to be open world from the start

[thin bobcat]

I mean, they can build on top of it, usually it allows the developers to add a lot of content later on, issue is just, they never do

[torpid glacier]

Sometimes massive maps are good with nothing in it, as long as traversa is good, etc.

[forest acorn]

its not the absolute worst launch day stuff ive encountered though

[slim magnet]

very true

[oblique belfry]

has a giant city with houses / apartments etc.
cant go in 90% of em

[torpid glacier]

Fix it in post mentality

[hexed kernel]

90% of s2 gameplay:

[forest acorn]

hasnt every borderlands game had this

[thin bobcat]

You're twisting my words, I just said they can add a lot of content later, not that they should not finish the base game first

[torpid glacier]

You did not just use Witcher 3 as an example of an empty map

[forest acorn]

1 billion shacks that bandits crawl outta with no loot inside

[hexed kernel]

it's the only sped up running gif i have

[forest acorn]

he aint wrong tho

[torpid glacier]

I never said you said that. I meant devs often think they’ll fix it in post, but the post never comes.

[thin bobcat]

Ah

[oblique belfry]

i wasnt talkin about bl but even those were map specific.

[thin bobcat]

Yeah I picked it up as if you were taking my words and putting them out as if I was trying to explain that with it

[torpid glacier]

I’m not even trying to shill, but Witcher 3 has one of the best open worlds in terms of just shit to do.

[thin bobcat]

Open World is a very cool concept and I love that companies apply it more often but they usually never bother adding anything afterwards

The initial thing is what the end product is

That's about it

[oblique belfry]

true

[blazing maple]

Apparantly they fixed the writing in bl4 and it's actually funny now. How the fuck did they do that

[torpid glacier]

Open world is great as long as the world is interesting enough to explore

[oblique belfry]

the only issue game has is optimization rn

ive never seen hate on the game itself so far

[torpid glacier]

You can make an open world out of anything, but not everything is fun to run around in.

[forest acorn]

gameplay is good, story is good

[blazing maple]

yeah I think they may of patched it idk

[verbal lodge]

is it still that cringe millenial humor

[forest acorn]

optimization is bad but atleast thats the part devs can fix eventually

[forest acorn]

its not early access cope either, bl3 launched the same way

[torpid glacier]

Borderlands was never funny to me even if it wasn’t millennial trash. I’ve always thought it was extremely juvenile and didn’t hit well.

[oblique belfry]

there are 2 ways to make open worlds good.
filling it with content.
or making traversal actually good. whether thats by looks / interactivity idk

[forest acorn]

gonna get gooped

[thin bobcat]

It has to still be quick, you walk past the same building 3 times and you're bored of looking at it

[verbal lodge]

it's definitely not worth buying full price of 70
silksong is like 1/3 of that and it's a much better game

[torpid glacier]

It’s why forspoken was so funny. That game is terrible in every aspect except for the traversal. Running around using magic parkour was sick. And that’s it.

[thin bobcat]

If you make something open world, add some sort of fast travelling system

[oblique belfry]

ye thats what i meant on making traverzal feel good

[verbal lodge]

[oblique belfry]

for example thats why i love driving in cp2077

[forest acorn]

its not but its a little better knowing they arent gonna just let it sit with 60fps on a 5090

[thin bobcat]

Either by skipping or by some accelerated movement

Cars, Horses, whatever

[oblique belfry]

the city / the driving around it feels good

[torpid glacier]

Not always necessary, if the world is good enough people will try not to use fast travel because it robs you of exploring.

[oblique belfry]

another reason why i loved traversin night city

[forest acorn]

most of the optics are like uhh

[thin bobcat]

Fast travelling is not just opening a map, double clicking and you're good, it can be a lot of things, like the things I mentioned in my previous 2 messages

[torpid glacier]

I love when Japanese devs always cap their game at 60. That isn’t inherently an issue, but if there’s a performance drop it’s 100% more noticeable.

[forest acorn]

bl3 esque and fine, some of them are chunky bricks that look like unturned sights

[oblique belfry]

metro system in cp2077

[forest acorn]

maybe its just low graphics but this looks like ass!!!

[torpid glacier]

I’m not saying guns need to look realistic, but some devs need to take cyberpunk as an example. Do the guns make sense? Fuck no, but they’re cool.

[forest acorn]

maybe bl3 also had some equally shitty scopes that i never saw because i threw em away after grabbing em

[torpid glacier]

Of course there’s always gonna be the gun tuber making a 6 hour critique of the cyberpunk guns, but that’s always gonna be laughably sad.

[oblique belfry]

just please dont do a bethesda

[forest acorn]

starfield guns looked pretty good

people just went gunjak about their designs

[oblique belfry]

NOOOO

[thin bobcat]

Bethesda is a pretty good example of how not to do anything related to travelling, either you open the map, double click somewhere and you teleport or you walk miles through nothing

[torpid glacier]

Usually the walking involves at least 5 loading screens

[oblique belfry]

funi black loading screen

or was.

until its upgraded to hell

[hexed kernel]

good

[leaden pilot]

what the fuck am i looking at

[hexed kernel]

[forest acorn]

my only actual gameplay complaint rn is that the fucking inventory filter doesnt remember what you filtered by @oblique belfry

so if you sort by recently picked up then leave ur inv it just defaults to sorting by manufacturer

[slim magnet]

what is this and how do i search for it without yongyea flooding my feed again

[thin bobcat]

Nintendo patented their battle mechanism of their Pokemon games

[wet lantern]

Can't wait till Nintendo patents monsters

[thin bobcat]

Issue is, it's not just the battle itself, it is also the summoning

[slim magnet]

so did turn based rpgs just die

[thin bobcat]

Which could overreach to every other game as well

It's not broad but if this was already successful, it is possible that a broader patent could also get through

It just sets a precedent that is really fucking bad

[wet lantern]

and gachas

[thin bobcat]

But more specifically, they did it because they want to have a triumph over Palworld

They really do not like that a game is successful with non-human creatures in it, which also allows for battles, that is a non-pokemon game

[wet lantern]

And with spheres that allow them to be captured and summoned

That part really irked them

Literally the first thing Nintendo went after

[thin bobcat]

I mean, is it obvious that Palworld is heavy inspired by Pokemon? Yes.
Does that mean that it's a clone? No.
Should any of this even lead to any patents or even lawsuits? Hell no.

Games are still made with artistic intent, they should not be limited as long as we are within the boundaries of the law

[wet lantern]

Nintendo doesn't like competition in any sort of capacity

[thin bobcat]

Because all of their Pokémon games were ass in the last couple of years

[wet lantern]

That's being generous

[thin bobcat]

The pokemon games I enjoyed were all on the fucking nintendo ds

Everything after that is either mid or absolute garbage

[wet lantern]

[thin bobcat]

I would not mind playing a good pokemon again and I would even buy their stupid fuck ass new console for it

But I won't just buy the console and hope for the best after the last parts were all hot garbage

[wet lantern]

Same, peak pokemon games were so damn fun

[thin bobcat]

Gamefreak should just stop the 3d bullshit, it apparently does not work for them, at all

They are incapable of producing a good 3d environment

[wet lantern]

[thin bobcat]

They tried what, 5 times or more now?

[wet lantern]

They were absolutely cooking with bw/bw2 sprites and they literally stopped cooking immediately after that

[verbal lodge]

I only play the game franchise pokemon wishes it was
Shin megami tensei

[thin bobcat]

There were like 8 3d pokemon games

And all of them were ass

Not a single one of them I enjoyed

[wet lantern]

The best one was Pokemon Stadium

[verbal lodge]

The real inventor of the monster catching genre

[thin bobcat]

On the Switch, I should mention

[wet lantern]

Actually idk, Pokemon Colloseum was also pretty good

[thin bobcat]

Look at this shit

[wet lantern]

The "new" 3d ones are straight dookie

[thin bobcat]

Those are all different games btw.

[wet lantern]

This looks like one of those meme posts from 2010 saying "This will be Pokemon on Wii 2"

[thin bobcat]

But all of them look stupid as shit

And they all cost fucking 60€

[wet lantern]

Yikes

[hexed kernel]

huh. i think i've seen this character before

[thin bobcat]

It looks like a stuffed animal on acid

[wet lantern]

This is what it reminded me of

[turbid shuttle]

450$, runs and drives

[broken mountain]

cumtastic

[thin bobcat]

Pretty much, yeah

[turbid shuttle]

Near mint condition Ranger for 1050$

[thin bobcat]

Just disappointing

[turbid shuttle]

I'm going to look at both trucks tomorrow

[wet lantern]

That's peak

[turbid shuttle]

Decent condition 1500 for 450$ with 140k miles is pretty nice too

I'm looking at both tomorrow

[wet lantern]

I've always seen those rams have heavy electrical issues tbh

Chrysler loves electrical issues

[turbid shuttle]

This dude is also selling a running and driving 2004 Porsche Boxster with 99k miles that runs and drives for 3500$

[wet lantern]

Ah, fancy volkswagen

[turbid shuttle]

its actually crazy the prices he gives, its a huge lot imma walk around see what else I can find

[slim magnet]

gen 7 gameplay is the best the series ever had

[turbid shuttle]

Ok but its 3500 bucks

[slim magnet]

i haven't played the proper games yet, as funny as that sounds

[wet lantern]

3500 for a running and functional fancy volkswagen is pretty damn good

[slim magnet]

but jesus christ i adore gen 7 pvp on showdown

[turbid shuttle]

Yeah, and I'm the last person to promote German cars but

its really cheap

[wet lantern]

I mean there's always a reason for them being cheap if they're german

I would never EVER recommend it as a first car but you probably already have a daily, so go wild

[turbid shuttle]

No, here German cars are ALWAYS expensive

I've looked at the boxster already, things mint

[wet lantern]

[turbid shuttle]

I have pleanty of cars already

Only one I'm actually considering buying from him is the ranger

Gonna buy it for my nephew, he can learn to drive in it, he's turning 15 soon

[wet lantern]

Sweet gift

[turbid shuttle]

He really wants a truck

I tought my son to drive manual in my 1988 F250

[wet lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-gumshoes-gif-22691590

[turbid shuttle]

He now drives a 2014 4runner

[wet lantern]

Toyotas are basically non existent here

I've only ever seen 1 of those in my life

[turbid shuttle]

He picked his up 52k miles for 7 grand

[thin bobcat]

I just want a top down, pixel-styled pokemon

Then I am happy

[turbid shuttle]

I payed for some of it so I limited him on what he can do with it. But he's looking at buying himself a 2004 F-150 crew cab

[slim magnet]

our time has passed dijo el dutch

[turbid shuttle]

its got 99k miles for only 3300$

[wet lantern]

Please tell me it's not a Triton

[turbid shuttle]

It is but he wants to 6.7 powerstroke swap it

[wet lantern]

God dayum

[turbid shuttle]

He loved the 6.7 in my new truck

[wet lantern]

AORTHUR WE NEED MORE MUNNEH

[turbid shuttle]

I now drive a 2015 F-250 King Ranch crew cab with the 6.7

[wet lantern]

Never really messed with diesels

[turbid shuttle]

Its nice

both my dailies ever have been diesels, my 1988 F-250 had a 7.3 idi, my 2015 has a 6.7 powerstroke

I drove that 88' for a solid 22 years

Its got over 430k miles on it, every single one of them drivin by me

[wet lantern]

Sheeeeesh

[turbid shuttle]

I bought it myself at 14 years old

[wet lantern]

Must've been nice

[turbid shuttle]

for 2000$, best investment I ever made

[wet lantern]

So what happened, the frame rust or something?

[turbid shuttle]

Nope, its mint

Just old

[wet lantern]

Fair enough

[turbid shuttle]

Driving the suspension for 4 hours a day isnt so great to me anymore

and I refuse to mod it with a better suspension, ill replace it but it still wont be as nice as the new F-250

[wet lantern]

Meanwhile I have the exact opposite issue

[slim magnet]

he wants WORSE suspension

[turbid shuttle]

Lmao

[wet lantern]

The old 98 shitbox I had contained wayyyy better suspension than the 2016 camry I ended up getting

[turbid shuttle]

oof

[carmine laurel]

[turbid shuttle]

Yeah I daily the 2015 F-250 now. I've collected myself a nice collection of trucks.
1988 F-250 XLT 7.3 IDI
2015 F-250 King Ranch 6.7 Powerstroke
1967 GMC Grain Truck
boutta be a 1999 Ford Ranger

[wet lantern]

The only truck I've personally driven longer than a day was a 2018 f150 ecoboost, that thing was a piece of genuine garbage

[turbid shuttle]

Oh yeah, the ecoboosts SUCK on the trucks

they are great on the explorer though

Work is getting new work trucks and I might end up myself with a "free" 2024 F-450 King Ranch

[wet lantern]

The chain was losing timing, the water pump was starting to fail, when they rebuilt the engine under warranty, they rebuilt it wrong and didn't seat the valves correctly, it was just awful

Legit every cold start all you'd hear was BANG

[turbid shuttle]

The 2024 trucks are nice

I would've gotten myself one if they werent absolutely massive

[wet lantern]

Yeah I've lost faith in new cars completely at this point

[turbid shuttle]

My 2015 is aleady pretty damn big

[turbid shuttle]

If I'm buying a new car, its a ford explorer, a Mazda3, or a F-250/F-350 with a 6.7 Powerstroke

[wet lantern]

Legit I think the only thing to gain from new car engine designs is that they come with free turbo piping

[turbid shuttle]

Well the Ford trucks have all been the same for the last 14 years just getting slightly bigger each year

[wet lantern]

Oh yeah they look goofy af now

Super huge cabin and tiny bed, even the extended bed one

[turbid shuttle]

Like this or this is as far as I'd go

Has an 8 foot bed, so its good enough

[turbid shuttle]

2024 F-350 crew cab long bed is 22 feet long what are you on about

dont get me on about how fucking large the F-450 is

[wet lantern]

Oh I should specify, 99.99% of the trucks here are Silverados or F150s

[turbid shuttle]

I went to the dealer because we are buying them for work trucks soon and good lord

8600lbs curb weight
GVWR of 14000

10 foot bed

8 foot cabin, 4 foot front end

thats the SHORT BED and its 22 feet long

[wet lantern]

I will occasionally see one of those with american flags and trump stickers with a giant exhaust blowing more black smoke than a coal mine

[turbid shuttle]

I guarantee it wasnt a F-450

[raven swan]

Good morning chat, start your day right with this abomination

[turbid shuttle]

F-250 or F-350 at most

Ford actually prevents you from buying an F-450 if you cant give a good reason

because of how fucking large they are, but you know whats funny. The 2024 F-450 while being more then twice as large as my 1988, weighs less

[real aspen]

Periodic table of crack

[turbid shuttle]

My 1988 F250 wieghs 8800lbs

[wet lantern]

I'm pretty sure it was an F450 cause it was taking up 2 lanes in the parking lot

But then again I could be wrong

[raven swan]

Academia racism speed run

[turbid shuttle]

I doubt it was an F-450. Probably just a lifted F-350. F-450's are so insanely hard to do shit like that too.

The rear suspension alone weighs more then a single cab F-150

[wet lantern]

Yeah the suspension looked BEEFY

[turbid shuttle]

it has the highest towing capacity of any normal truck. Only trucks with anything higher are getting into Ram 5500 and F550 range of "pickup" trucks with semi engines

Called a supertruck

[wet lantern]

The electric companies here use those

[turbid shuttle]

I mean they do make normal looking F-550s, those weigh 10,000lbs

But it costs the same to get the supertruck

F-450 = bigger F-350
F-550 = beefier F-450, not larger in any demension, just a larger engine and fatter suspension

The 2024 F-450 I drove was fuckin big though

But holy twin turbo factory 6.7 is funny

Anyway, later chaps

the only gif of this guy in tenor is a ytp

love this guy's commentary on the game development scene but seems like 99.9% of people took it not even at face value and only read "wow ue5 broke this guy's dog's legs and poisoned it, ue5 bad" from it while skipping literally everything else

[wet lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/gold-ship-uma-musume-basketball-dunk-pretty-derby-gif-1027584652569588695

[blazing jackal]

Isnt ue5 just a tool? Do you blame hammer if you cant hit the nail? Or is it bad as hammer? Or if a tool isnt suited for yor job - why choose it in the first place?

[thin bobcat]

You can use a hammer to drive a screw into a piece of wood but it will do more damage and put more strain on you than if you would've just used a screwdriver

People always blame UE5 for every single thing

Memory Leak? It's the engine!

Issue with performance? Engine!

It's retarded

But they do make a valid point, just avoiding games with UE5 at first is probably the best course of action because the Companies that use it, are clearly not educated enough on it because the major performance issues and, just generally speaking, stability issues are insane

[uneven sapphire]

Bruh what tiktok watermarks comment pictures?

[hexed kernel]

shaw

[slim magnet]

pretty much what blood said

the gun doesn't kill people, the engine doesn't make unoptimized games

[blazing jackal]

This brings the question about choosing the ue5 in the first place. Why? Is it cheaper, or simpler, or more capable?

[thin bobcat]

The market and environment

[slim magnet]

it's simpler because it's designed to be easy to use

[blazing jackal]

Hunt builded Kenshi on fucking godot and its incredible

[slim magnet]

like the thing doesn't even need programming knowledge

[thin bobcat]

Unreal Engine 5 has a lot of easy to use assets for it, already built in and publicly available

And the Development Editor is insane

[slim magnet]

so if the barrier of entry is lower then the cost to use is massively reduced, as you don't have to capacitate your development team

[thin bobcat]

It's just the entire toolkit, it's a fully fledged toolkit, ready for literally any task you throw at it

[slim magnet]

so on top of being simpler, it's also cheaper

[uneven sapphire]

SHAW

[thin bobcat]

But that comes with risks, you are using C++, that language is not your friend, it does not take you by the hand, you either manage the memory yourself or you have a leak

[blazing jackal]

I guess thats where all problems starting.

[slim magnet]

not quite

[thin bobcat]

Any game that is even remotely big uses the structs offered by the engine directly and C++ for the programming language

[slim magnet]

it's just corner cutting

mostly, rather than just

[thin bobcat]

And that's where the issues come from, they push unoptimised code into the release version, code that worked in debugging flawlessly but is just having way too many cycles for a release version for example

There's millions of reasons why your game is performing bad

[slim magnet]

fuck it, it runs, why should we shell out more money to the team to make it run good if it already runs

[thin bobcat]

But all of them are completely made by you, not the engine

[slim magnet]

yeah exactly

it's not the gun, it's the person behind the trigger

[thin bobcat]

And I am not stupid, the engine can have bugs, that is inevitable but there's thousands of people working on it, some from Epic Games, some freelancers, some companies, whatever and all of them have a strict moderation for the push requests

[real aspen]

To absolutely be that guy, hammering a screw into wood is actually way less effort than screwdriving it by hand

[hexed stag]

Meanwhile funny Windows update

[thin bobcat]

You are a weird person, whatever you say about daily activities is something that the very very small minority of the server shares

[blazing jackal]

Only if its a wood screw and a short one, good luck to nail 10 cm screw in

[thin bobcat]

I mean, the latest thing I remember was you saying that you wanted to kick a dog down a hill because you thought it's annoying

[blazing jackal]

So, as i thought its a dev fault a dev excuse to blame the tool

Almost as in any other field

[carmine laurel]

what game is this

ty

[thin bobcat]

That's the worst part, I don't even remember studios blaming the engine

[blazing maple]

I hope the nintendo direct has fire emblem news so we can have another 5 years of 3 hosues discourse

[thin bobcat]

It's the community that collectively saw one singular piece that connects bad performance and then blame that

[slim magnet]

yeah, which is not what threat interactive does

[thin bobcat]

I don't even know where the entire thing with UE5 being bad came from

[slim magnet]

threat interactive actively pushes the narrative that it's the developers' fault, but people that watch him almost universally end up saying "oh so ue5 bad FUCK EPIC"

[thin bobcat]

And the gif that was posted was just a dude talking about shortcuts if I remember correctly, like using Ray Tracing instead of optimised custom shaders

[slim magnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M00DGjAP-mU

[thin bobcat]

I mean, that very last piece of that sentence I support, I had to buy Dead Island 2 on Epic because it didn't release on Steam for 2 years

[blazing jackal]

I guess from vulgar perception of gamedev in general, you just put things on levels, drop some textures and sounds in and its running by itself.

[carmine laurel]

90% of the communities opinions on UE5 can be summed up with

[slim magnet]

TRUE!

[slim magnet]

but the thing is that the youtuber in question does some really educated essays on what is going on and what can be done to fix it, all the while outlining that it's up to the programmers

[thin bobcat]

That's the thing, if you use Unreal Engine and it's development toolkit, actually learn how it works, you will usually have a good perception of it, no matter what

The only game devs shitting on Unreal Engine, are the ones that either have no clue about it

[slim magnet]

yet people still convert all of that data into the opinion that ue5 is just cursed

[thin bobcat]

Or the ones that used it once, were confused and got mad at it

[slim magnet]

[carmine laurel]

who knows

[thin bobcat]

Pretty much, people just take one singular take, fact check it by looking up what games are made in UE5 and then say some bogus shit that isn't true

[real aspen]

It's more about girth and less length.
Biggest I've used was 6cm into solid wood, and whacking it down was still easier than turning.
this was without drilling out a hole for the screw before driving it, but even if you drill it out, turning a large screw into wood by hand is a major pain.
Like would you rather twist your wrist for 20 seconds or just whack it once?

[thin bobcat]

Spread by someone that has no clue, then being forwarded by other people that have even less of a clue

[carmine laurel]

I mean threat did post a video (that has since been taken down and reuploaded) that had a segment asking his viewers to downvote any ue5 games even if they liked it

[thin bobcat]

Yeah, and those are the other types of people

i have no issue with nikke because they do it with "gusto" per se

I think its general idea of execs - If sex sells we must double down on it, no matter it fits the game tone or not

yeah

nikke has been consistent with how lewd it is

that's why it does with gusto and it feels properly done

you are pirate

[left mantle]

yar har

[slim magnet]

thinking about getting into the spiderman comics

[rocky turtle]

bro getting into deep rabbit hole

[slim magnet]

i've been a spideyhead since i was a baby but only for games and cartoons and movies, but i've only ever read one issue of the comic

[rocky turtle]

[slim magnet]

hell even my bed when i was a little kid was custom made by a local carpenter to be spiderman styled

[rocky turtle]

damn thats neat

[wet lantern]

Me wondering why my HD2 performance sucks then I checked my thermal paste change log 1/25/24

I need to change the paste every 3-4 months on this damn laptop or it dries out

[rocky turtle]

idk this update game more lags for me

[wet lantern]

There's definitely way more enemies but lower fps isn't the issue

It's the super sharp drops

And I ran a benchmark a little while ago to confirm my suspicion

[rocky turtle]

[wet lantern]

cpu instantly shoots up to 95c

With fresh paste it hovers around 80-83c

[blazing jackal]

Something not right if you have termal paste change schedule

[wet lantern]

Of course something's not right, my cpu's a 10th gen intel i7

It literally heats my room in winter time

[blazing jackal]

Knowing how sketchy cpu cooler tighteners could be on laptops.

Idk if i would stuck on a laptop i own, im legit would drill its bottom into the fine mesh

[wet lantern]

Mine isn't an ultrabook, it has very good bottom ventilation

[blazing jackal]

Undervolt your cpu then, it wont hurt much

[wet lantern]

Ohohoho

[wet lantern]

It already is undervolted

[blazing jackal]

Welp

[wet lantern]

10th gens just love generating heat like a space heater

[blazing jackal]

Do you really need a laptop?

[wet lantern]

Yes

[upbeat verge]

gmm chat

[wet lantern]

gmm Ivan Ivanovich Ivansky Ivanov

[blazing jackal]

Change cpu for less hot mobile one, sure it wasnt soldered

[wet lantern]

Cpus haven't been unsoldered since 3rd gen

[blazing jackal]

Then you just pay extra for soldering work maybe your hot but beefy old intel will cover most of expenses

[wet lantern]

I mean

Why would I even need to change the cpu, I just need to change to paste to run it at full power again

[blazing jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/standing-up-engine-error-seeing-stars-error-gif-22759130

Car experience, but on pc

[wet lantern]

I should probably also replace my ssd soon

I've had it for like 9 years already

[tender stump]

We packing gen 5

[blazing jackal]

I think its a tightening/contact issue, would try to fit in small silver plate about 0.2 mm, considering metal paste is a nono

[oak magnet]

glock?

[wet lantern]

Doubt it's a tightening issue, the cooler mount has springs on it that add pressure along with the screws

[tender stump]

Nvme

[oak magnet]

i see

[upbeat verge]

this happened to me at the doctor last week I nearly fucking fainted

chat

[blazing jackal]

3 months for modern paste is very suspicious, plus you (dis)assembling mount upside down, so it could theoretically sag under g's in working conditions

Considering we skip cooler itself as source of inadequate heat transfer

[wet lantern]

If it was the cooler not cooling, changing the paste wouldn't do anything

[blazing jackal]

It could affect the bottom line, or not, idk factory temps on your setup

[wet lantern]

I'm tellin ya, it just dries from how ridiculously hot the cpu runs at all times

When I first got my laptop it ran at around 85c normally while gaming

[blazing jackal]

3 months for a paste is still very suspicious, this shit running years

Change springs for a bit tighter ones on mount, maybe this helps, one of the most noninvasive solutions i could think

what happens when you dont launch the bmw once 2 days

[wet lantern]

What happens when you don't pay the onboard maintenance fee

[left mantle]

What happens when you use your turn signal

[wet lantern]

That would obliterate the driver instantly

[upbeat verge]

nice pussy

[halcyon sail]

[wet lantern]

So he's heard

[spare sparrow]

cute rats

[real aspen]

Like, lady. I've been chopping with this same machete for years. And I've hurt myself more in kitchen cutting eggplants with a small knife than out chopping stuff with axes and machetes. And I cut eggplants like once a year

[green granite]

This man is round

[wet lantern]

[halcyon sail]

so you dont cut eggplants with a cleaver?

i thought most people just did that

weird, and why is slow mode on, so tedious

[spare sparrow]

turn off slopmode jannies

[halcyon sail]

It had to be precise cuts, also "small" is relatie, my kitchen knife blade is like 26cm long

[halcyon sail]

[upbeat verge]

HMV don't have subtitle selection for their dvds
shit store

[real aspen]

ivan experiencing a small portion of the pain i have to deal with just feels so good

[oak magnet]

baltic forehead is a big one

but our jawlines are immaculate

[upbeat verge]

online dvd stores NOT having subtitle selection for their movie catalog is criminal

BRO CMON ITS SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING DELIVERED TODAY ALO WTF

[left mantle]

Don't worry, they just want the wait to equal the runtime

[hexed kernel]

me and who

[real aspen]

your imagination

[oak magnet]

yeah

[upbeat verge]

I have but I normally use Ardes and Emag for my electronics stuff they take at most 5 days

[upbeat verge]

u need to end it

omg they have the falco movie @flat violet

[snow tree]

End yourself

[upbeat verge]

you first sir

if someone can find me dune either part one or two with bulgarian subs and english audio I'd be so happy

[oak magnet]

MEAD

[snow tree]

Get English audio and find Bulgarian subs on opensubtitles

[latent hazel]

A guy in brainfart says that negative performance reviews for borderlands 4 on steam are not legitimate from people with low hours, what's your take guys

[upbeat verge]

I want them to be on dvd mate
I can torent any movie I want but I want to have the physical copy

[latent hazel]

My take:

[snow tree]

Retarded to take reviews as final on best answer

[upbeat verge]

I can find the subtitles on Opensubs but the dvd player wont be able to play them u cannot force outside custom subs into dvds that youre playing @snow tree

[latent hazel]

Can you rephrase that? I didnt understand

[broken mountain]

the worst review is shitting on something because your favourite youtuber said its shit

[snow tree]

I think you should see for yourself and not form your opinion on something based off only reviews of people, they can be a guide for you, but not end all

[latent hazel]

Yeah but that is opinion based, usually
Something like performance isn't. It's entirely objective

[broken mountain]

How do you know that some benchmarks are not over exaggerated?

[snow tree]

Localised dvds should have English audio regardless?

[latent hazel]

Videos of people playing the game? Multiple of my friends corrobarated the performance issues too

[snow tree]

Also if someone argues with you about performance, they are retarded too

[latent hazel]

My take is that if performance is dogshit, is it wrong to write a negative review to warn others?

I have another screenshot of a friend with a 4080 and 9800x3d with 70 fps but it won't load

[snow tree]

That's what reviews are for and should be negative if it runs poorly

You can always change it when they patch that

[left mantle]

It should never take hours to dial in settings where a game doesn't run like shit for a release title. Hours mean nothing for a performance review

[blazing jackal]

Just burn the dvd by youself, Ivan

[latent hazel]

Yeah but his take is about people buying the game, writing a review about bad performance and refunding

Or not even refunding, just not playing a lot

[real aspen]

playing for longer wont fix the performance

[upbeat verge]

again , not the same as buying the fucking thing idk how many more times I will have to say it

[latent hazel]

Why

[upbeat verge]

with you I shall not conversate on this topic

[thin bobcat]

That topic has been chewed through quite a bit already.

Tl;dr being:

• It's not Unreal Engine 5, it's the missing experience of the developers and honestly lack of respect towards their customers to release something like that for 70€ meanwhile behave like you're the industry titan on stage.

• The spec sheet they published only goes as low as the 30 Series (at least from what Doge posted) and that is just not acceptable, with the 3080 being recommended with low settings for 60+ fps on 1440p.

• Back at it again with the requirements, a 2070 as the minimum requirement for a game like that is quite a bit considering the graphics, even though I can somewhat understand that part, I just did not expect the requirements to go from a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2 GB in Borderlands 3 to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 minimum in Borderlands 4.

[blazing jackal]

2070 as minimum

No, kindly f off borderlands devs, whoever you are

[latent hazel]

I don't think either of these points are relevant
Doesn't matter why the game runs like ass - it just does
Is it bad to review it badly because of the performance without playing it much?
