Good to know Valorant is toxic as CS

[sage iris]

what the hell????

[little badger]

Yup

[sage iris]

there's NO WAY this is gonna work

NO WAY

[green fulcrum]

Why?

[sage iris]

console simply cannot compare to PC in terms of precision

[devout vault]

valorant is cs but worse

so toxic

[sage iris]

and valorant is a game that requires precision

[bronze abyss]

yea im sure its a good idea to have people on my team play with controller when its already enough of a struggle to team play on pc

[grave tide]

Crossplay will kill the game

[devout vault]

dualsense controller plays cs just fine

gyro

[light gate]

inhale the cope I guess

[bronze abyss]

i fucking hope they dont force it on

[green fulcrum]

That's fair, was just curious why.

[bold sonnet]

You can play many games on Xbox with mouse and keyboard

[devout vault]

ps5 yes

it does

100%

it would be hard for cypher tho

lol

placing trips

[sage iris]

isn't that like cheating in games where there's no crossplay?

[devout vault]

i just reallt dislike it

its soulless

[bronze abyss]

devs need to explicitely add support for it

[bold sonnet]

Doordash

[sage iris]

also they posted the trailer on the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kWYWa3Jv2Q

[sage iris]

FINALS

[hidden elbow]

Alan wake expansion is nice

[sage iris]

FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALS LETSGOOOO

[bold sonnet]

I got my three wishes. Quidditch, Dragon Ball and Skate 4 (which I thought will not be)

[light gate]

Devolver Direct

[harsh kestrel]

All I can hope is that the leftover shows offer something of substance more than this

[bold sonnet]

👏👏👏👏

[light gate]

ooooooo

[devout vault]

balanced

[green fulcrum]

Meh, I've seen better Summer Game Fests, but Lego Horizons and Sonic X Shadow Generations were peak. I also liked Boy & Deer and Neva a lot too.

[little badger]

Well Everypony what do we rate this years summer games fest?

[devout vault]

civ 7 was the best part and the tea game

[grave tide]

[bold sonnet]

Hahaha oh yes

[little badger]

ONL In August so we have more games to look forward to

[river veldt]

Xbox Showcase on Sunday

[little badger]

And Ubisoft as well

[bold sonnet]

I have a feeling it will be so good

[green fulcrum]

Oh, the Among Us TV show, I liked that too.

[bold sonnet]

I'm not going anywhere until they let me register for Skate 4 beta

[random steppe]

The industry kinda spent it all for 2023
2024 is looking like a cooldown year when the big devs prepare new games for the future

[bold sonnet]

Night here too

[little badger]

Did you see the civ 7 announcement?

[devout vault]

yea gta 6 is coming out next year

[novel pine]

WHAT?! NO MORE ROOM IN HELL 2 BY THE CHIV 2 GUYS?

[green fulcrum]

2023 went absolutely bananas.

[random steppe]

This year the big thing seems to be ER DLC

And not much else, for me at least

[harsh kestrel]

Dragonball and Sonic were the only ones that really interested me in that two hours

[green fulcrum]

Nah, Helldivers 2 and Palworld as well.

[devout vault]

palworld was the worst part

god that game stinky

[random steppe]

Oh also Wanderstop looked pretty stellar TBH

Wish we got a release date

[light gate]

Honestly nothing appealed me.

[random steppe]

Outside of the showcase I kinda need to play Starminer, but that's coming sometimes in 2024 and we don't have a date yet, so fuck me.

[light gate]

Sure Finals Season 3 look cool, but idk I've been playing Tim Sweeny's fanfiction a bit and its just eh idk.

[river veldt]

Alan Wake 2 expansion looks cool and so does Among Us TV show

[little badger]

https://fxtwitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1799214921038901715?

[bold sonnet]

Skate 4 no?

[light gate]

Skate did but I have no clue until more gameplay

[bold sonnet]

I rate B

[hidden elbow]

Lmao

[white phoenix]

[river veldt]

Geoff Keighley has such a nice profile picture

[bold sonnet]

Do you remember when beta?

[devout vault]

civ 7

[white phoenix]

[light gate]

[bold sonnet]

Is it audio glitching a bit for anypony else?

[sour hill]

Gamers

[devout vault]

gacha and pallworld filthyy

[white phoenix]

[light gate]

Yeah, its just not saying much.

[little badger]

Small one

[harsh kestrel]

I'm gonna have to be in the C or D group. It was kinda mid

[random steppe]

Don't know I really don't play those games for organised pvp

[little badger]

Colosseum

That’s what I meant

[bold sonnet]

Omg pokemon red 2

[little badger]

I’ve not played the game in ages. Did you pre order the dlc?

[random steppe]

I didn't because it's very close to FFXIV DLC and I might delay getting it

[little badger]

Ah.

[random steppe]

That said I do plan to start an ER playthrough in the next couple of days, and if I'm really really into whatever I'm doing I might change my mind

[bold sonnet]

Elden Ring still on my list 💖💖

[devout vault]

[bold sonnet]

Now

[little badger]

[bold sonnet]

The same stream

[little badger]

After day of the devs?

[green fulcrum]

I suppose if there's one thing that this year's Summer Game Fest has done it's actually made me want to check out the 2017 Power Rangers movie (I heard the Power Rangers theme for the first time when they were showing off that beat 'em up game, and decided that I liked it). Apparently the movie was disliked by critics but loved by general audiences and fans.

[river veldt]

it is a good movie

also has good autism rep

[devout vault]

autism rep

[bold sonnet]

I love retro 💖

[little badger]

https://fxtwitter.com/devolverdigital/status/1799214611096629704?

[green fulcrum]

Frankly, I've just never really been interested in Power Rangers, but if the movie's good, then that's that.

[devout vault]

i grew up on the series around 2012

[little badger]

Please tell me you watched ninja storm

[devout vault]

[little badger]

Power rangers

[devout vault]

[hidden elbow]

I like mystic force

[green fulcrum]

Again, I only just heard the Power Rangers theme for the very first time today.

[devout vault]

[little badger]

What did you think?

[bold sonnet]

Netflix games

[green fulcrum]

I said that I liked it, and it made me want to check out the 2017 movie.

[green fulcrum]

What's up with EA?

[bold sonnet]

I think I have chance to be in closed beta I really really hope

Skate 4

[green fulcrum]

Ah

[light gate]

They ask a lot of information.

[bold sonnet]

Last Skate, that people still play, Skate 3 was on 360

[bold sonnet]

[light gate]

[bronze abyss]

[little badger]

Noelle how much skate 3 did you play?

Less than Session but yes

[devout vault]

[bold sonnet]

My turn no

[devout vault]

Devolver is gonna be wild.

[bold sonnet]

I've heard that name

Pretty typical for an LLM. Given Minecraft is a super ubiquitous game there's no surprise it knows the basics, but it's funny when it fucks up

[devout vault]

yea MC is pretty clear

its a very logical game

and most of it is sort of tropey

even smaller scale LLMs i know usually know stuff like Pokemon and MC, usually

the ender dragon fight was the highlight for sure, makes sense too.

"MLG waterbucketing" isn't an intentional mechanic of MC, it was something community-made

its also unreliable ig due to the risks of failure lol

[dire gate]

ngl while it is extremely impractical, the setup is cool

And it does work, just that you definitely don't have to do all that

[wind stump]

drown the enderdragon, makes sense!

[gaunt marten]

It's ||For the trident special effect||

[devout vault]

it makes a lot of sense based on what u learn and experience

water is safety from enderman + the dragon launches u

the trident tho was pretty unique lol

[wind stump]

wow this video is really well edited

i have no idea what is happening

@grim stirrup How does this game compare to the previous ones? It's 60% off which seems nice

[grim stirrup]

its a good game, very short campaign so most of your time played would be on custom maps, of which theres are an insane amount

there are quite a few good ones, but i prefer creeper world 3 ovverall

[gaunt marten]

Thanks

I wasn't super impressed with creeper world 3, but I was thinking the 3D aspect might be neat

[grim stirrup]

they dont really do much with the 3d aspect

it feels mostly visual, though some custom maps do use it

[fervent oar]

It has some good soundtracks throughout. It's also very interesting if you find more people to play it with because each boss gets completely new attacks that require all players to coordinate together

[gaunt marten]

Unfortunate. I guess sticking to a formula that works is good though

[grim stirrup]

3d usually feels pointless to me in most cases where there isn't an "under" though, everything is up from the floor with no "air" gaps

[gaunt marten]

Having a height difference is a more fun way to make a barrier than just making a wall

[wind stump]

Wellllll when my financial state is not fucked I'll invest in it, for now I'll uh, try a demo

[grim stirrup]

oh yeah, rabbit and steel is great fun

[wind stump]

i'm not proud of this but i really can't afford stuff right now

but that's personal stuff, game's gud
i'll buy two copies when i have the means to

[grim stirrup]

yeah, i big understand

[bronze abyss]

my recomendation would be to pirate it temporarily then when you can get the full copy,you can transfer the save so it wouldnt really be an issue

and still completely morally fine if that bothers you cuz well eventually you will get the game

[wind stump]

Yeah, I will buy two copies as well, that way I make up for the "stolen" copy

(That and I know a friend who would probably adore this game in co-op)

[arctic fern]

4 is interesting and fun, if you like creeper world, it's more creeper world, the core of the game is just more polished
Personally 2 is my fave of the 4 mainline games
Also 5 is coming out soon, there's a demo for it

[rancid herald]

meh

I think I hate this version of e3

awful.

[river veldt]

IM SO EXCITED

i hope we get Elder Scrolls VI info and the next Doom game and Indiana Jones

[bold sonnet]

Oh yes 💚💚

[thorny loom]

you wont hear much until starfield lifecycle is finished.

Doom and indy youll probably hear about

Rumor is their maybe a possible Oblivion or Fallout 3 remastered announcement as well

[bitter stream]

oof, the xbox showcase is at 3am for me, will have to watch a recap

[thorny loom]

[green fulcrum]

Ah, the OG Helldivers

[shy flare]

first Touhou hard 1cc (no continues)

[dire gate]

nice

It's so unfortunate that ZUN lost the source code of TH06 and thus it is unlikely to come to Steam

[shy flare]

Wym, he can just download it off Moriya Shrine

[dire gate]

[shy flare]

The PC98 games are considered abandonware now

TH6 probably isnt far off

Something tells me he probably doesn't give a shit people are downloading EoSD for free

If they like it, they will end up buying the newer games

Its 22 years old

[dire gate]

Well did you know that TH06 is still being legitimately sold in Japan.

Touhou games pretty much don't count as abandonware

Although I agree that PC98 ones are pretty much close

And also I feel like if someone liked TH06 after downloading it free, it is more likely that they will try newer games without buying

[shy flare]

Am I a bad person that I just dont care

Maybe. But all I know is that ZUN is going to get plenty of my money and Im not worried about others

But really... what does source code mean? Like, can he actually not just download it off the internet and then put it on steam

I mean its his game

[dire gate]

I do also wonder what he means by source code, but it's probably related to porting to Steam? idk

iirc he did say that he has plans to port up to TH07

Currently only up to TH09 is on Steam

[shy flare]

Yea as far as I can tell on steam it starts at 10 and Im on 8 currently

Well 9 but thats a different kind of game

I do believe most people pirate not because of money, but because of accessibility/convenience... if you buy the EoSD CD, youre still going to end up on the website with the whole game files just to get the vsync patch and thcrap so you can get your language etc

But thats a whole moral argument, some would say "what makes you think you have the right to play the game for free"

all valid points

[dire gate]

Yeah it's also partially cultural

I've seen much more "pirating is fine if the legitimate way isn't going to work" argument more in western communities

[shy flare]

I do want to buy all the CDs at some point to display on my wall or something. But Id still just end up downloading them from the internet because of the streamlined convenience of thcrap

[dire gate]

While eastern ones lean more toward "pirate is bad nonetheless, but sometimes it is a choice"

[dire gate]

I mean except few, the Steam version's existence really nullifies that argument

[shy flare]

Well yea Im talking about the few

The era 2 games

6,7,8

[dire gate]

And if ZUN really delivers all except TH06

Then yeah, I wonder what he will think about TH06 at that point

[shy flare]

I just wonder how 7,8 havent happened yet

Like if he says he plans to port them, how much work is it really

I dont know but I imagine it cant be much

[dire gate]

I mean they are two decades old

So I guess there may be some stuff he has to deal with

[shy flare]

true and he do just be doing it all themself

EoSD credits be like programming... ZUN! Music.... ZUN! Stage design... ZUN!

Special thanks

[dire gate]

I am more wondering if Twilight Frontier has a plan to port older Touhou fighting games

[shy flare]

yknow i tried to get into scarlet weather rhapsody, it seemed like a really cool concept

But i dont have anyone to play it with PvP and it just seemed kinda pointless to sink time into learning the mechanics

I bet it goes hard if you have someone to grind and get good with

[dire gate]

Yeah there are still people out there who play those

Not sure how many, especially in western side

Non-Japanese, honestly

lol

[shy flare]

Music in those games go so fucking hard

And touhou music already goes so hard

https://open.spotify.com/track/0soUI25qYkGYkZoPaGsvKG?si=wFEF3fsFSUi8G9evtmNPGA

[dire gate]

def has bangers

My fav touhou songs are so all over the contents

Be like "I like this one song from this one game, and then this one song from this one album, and then..."

[shy flare]

I got into Touhou because I heard Fall in the Dark by Shibayan Records on YouTube one day, it just auto played it

[dire gate]

Hifuu got some amazing songs.

[shy flare]

I stopped everything I was doing and was like "What is THIS??"

So I went down the rabbit hole

"Ronald McDonald insanity is Touhou?"

[dire gate]

It's scary for me that it's been over a decade since I first learned about Touhou

[shy flare]

I mean its permeated into the Internet you just dont realize it at first

[dire gate]

And that some characters/games I feel "new" are like over a decade old at this point.

Eh, when I first learned Touhou, and from my environment, it was huge by itself that it wasn't really "permeating"

[shy flare]

Perhaps since youre probably a bit older than me

[dire gate]

More like "who doesn't know touhou?"

aside from how well they know about it

So it was basically an inevitable content

[shy flare]

I just knew about Ronald Mcdonald Insanity and Bad Apple and then when I actually started looking into it I was like "oh i have seen some of these characters before!"

[dire gate]

[dire gate]

It's probably more due to the environment than the age

Touhou as its own peaked at around late 2000s~early 2010s

Now it exists in more "permeated" form

And the fandom got extremely younger compared to ever before

[shy flare]

Well what was confusing to me and still is to an extent is just that 95% of fans dont engage with the source material

Like I heard shibayan records and did research and was like "Ok, this is what its from. I guess Ill play it"

But then actually going to Touhou spaces on the internet no one has played its just doujins

[dire gate]

Famous saying in Touhou fandom

Gensokyou exists as many as people exist

[shy flare]

You have to look to find the sweaty gamer circles

i think a survey said most vast majority of people haven't even beaten a game

[dire gate]

tbf STG(bullet hell shmup) genre is extremely hard to access and too niche for general public

[shy flare]

Yea its raw difficulty

On the Touhou server it's basically a channel thats its own server

[dire gate]

I'm in two touhou servers and both are Japanese

lol

[shy flare]

do japanese fans play the games more? or same thing

[dire gate]

Probably a bit more?

But in general similar

[shy flare]

I do plan to order forbidden scrollery off the internet since its not in the stores around here

[dire gate]

A bit more as it is more accessible for Japanese fans

Way easier to just grab and play

[shy flare]

Im not against reading or anything, I just dont like reading off a screen

and its I think the only printed english touhou manga

but apparently its got a lot of important stuff in it lore wise

[dire gate]

I still haven't memorized all the English titles so I have to guess based on the content

Fortunately my guess was correct this time

[shy flare]

Did you ever live in Japan?

[dire gate]

I didn't live in Japan, no

But 1. I do live quite close to Japan, 2. I have been interacting with Japanese internet ever since I was young, 3. I can speak Japanese, 4. I am culturally much closer to Japan than West

[shy flare]

That checks out then. I was going to say its impressive how confident you are in the language having never lived there but if you're nearby

Checks out

Did you learn at a young age ? Or did you just naturally pick it up

[dire gate]

I studied a bit, but overall I was in to Japanese content bascially for my whole life so I eventually learned naturally

[shy flare]

I really want to learn another language and originally I was going to do Japanese because looking at it, it doesnt seem too bad and doesnt have a lot of the painful things I hated when learning French in school

[dire gate]

I'm not even exaggerating with "whole life" as even my parents like them and iirc they sold mangas when I was young

[shy flare]

But realistically it would be sort of a waste of time. i really need to learn Spanish because its everywhere around here

Id use it all the time

[dire gate]

So I was basically born with the whole environment

You can't avoid it when your house was decorated with manga merchs

One interesting thing I learned is that the cultural aspect really takes a huge part when joining communities

[shy flare]

Im grateful for where I was born but I do envy people who live in places where theyre surrounded by other cultures

Just proximity

Whether it's Europe, Asia

[dire gate]

Nothing negative about this server, but I feel much more comfortable talking with Japanese Touhou fans than talking in this server tbh

[shy flare]

it makes total sense and I feel like I understand you more now

[dire gate]

It just feel more natural to me

[shy flare]

I didnt even know you weren't from the west

[dire gate]

lol

Yeah I'm from Korea

closest you can ever get to Japan

[shy flare]

definitely lots of crossover there

[quiet swift]

I've lived in like 8 different countries over 3 continents. It's a bit wild

[dire gate]

So while it is not really the greatest way to address things, when I say "West" it usually means "you guys, and not me"

[shy flare]

No it makes sense

I mean theres no avoiding a disconnect

I dont know where my life will take me. I really want to try living in a different state and eventually a different country, but like. Money. Risk. lmao

If I do end up learning Spanish I kind of want to check out Spain one day

[quiet swift]

(USA, Japan, USA, Belgium, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Ireland)

[shy flare]

I do think people underestimate how diverse America is, that being said its crazy to think about how in Europe the distance of my driving a state or 2 over is a completely different culture with different language and everything

way more diverse

[devout vault]

india be like:

walk a few streets

[dire gate]

USA is too big

[shy flare]

Massive

[dire gate]

It's too big to the point that it makes more sense to say "I've been to Washington" "I've been to New York" "I've been to California" than just "I've been to States"

[shy flare]

I havent even been in many places in the US. We just grew up broke

[devout vault]

arizona was pretty wild to me

deserts and stuff

[shy flare]

So its like, anywhere I want to go I have to make it happen. But my career is set up pretty good, should be by the time Im 30 Ill have been to a lot more places

In and out of the country

[devout vault]

france is pretty

just paris isnt the best

[shy flare]

My dream vacation spot has always been Pompeii

[devout vault]

good luck with that

[shy flare]

i know it might be a random pick but just learning about it in school I was instantly like "I have to go here one day"

[devout vault]

its a lil buried

[shy flare]

most of it isnt anymore

[devout vault]

thas nice

[quiet swift]

You visit Paris to see Paris, not France

[thorny loom]

France is for nerds

[quiet swift]

North eastern France is just fairytale towns

[novel pine]

I beat MGS2 on the hardest difficulty todayyyyy without any kills or alarms

Well done!

[light gate]

I didn’t know the Playstation 5 could get so hot, like I knew some heat would vent but I touched the plastic case and my god…

Still not close to my old rig pc but its impressive the machine can remain quiet.

[devout vault]

my friends ps5 fried

they tried running cyberpunk with raytracing on it, while streaming

[bitter stream]

oh dear, does it not throttle at some point

oof T_T

PS5's are expensive too

The XBOX Series X is supposed to be better built, in terms of cooling everything and all that, but like, many games aren't on there

[light gate]

How did it even fried?

[light gate]

It has to throttle.

Or speed the fan up.

[devout vault]

whole thing fried and crashed lollllllllll
it was so hot

think it got damaged a lil but it seems to still work

[light gate]

Was this the original PS5?

Or the slim variant?

[devout vault]

i think original

[light gate]

Could have been some sort of software issue.

I have had funny issues too but related with the OS.

At least it recovers.
