Vinny_93, do games w A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd

I read the part on the website and I like the setup. I am correct in thinking this is a US based community?

Not entirely. It started in the US but we’ve been fortunate enough to have members join from all around the world!

A remove HUD options. I’d also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.

I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I’m pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don’t have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

ArmoredThirteen, do gaming w 8GB ram, now only €200!!

Just looked into the ram I got last year. From about $200 when I got it to $750 now

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Surprisingly the ram I bough earlier this year only went up from $670 to 1000. What a bargain!

A way to start a fresh save. Or better yet, allow multiple saves/profiles. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to search online for where save files are located and delete them myself.

And if it’s a Steam game, you also have to worry about cloud saves undoing whatever you did. Please, just make it simple for players to do this.

asiago,

for that matter, why can’t we ever add a note or a tagline to save files? too many rpg’s and console rpgs have multiple save slots, multiple endings and all that other added content jazz, but no way to internally identify the save files that matter?

chunes,

For real. Especially if there are settings that permanently and drastically alter the game that you select when you start.

From drastic oversupply to drastic undersupply in like a year.

Here’s a simple one. On PC, a lot of games let you use the keyboard/mouse or a controller. On some games it’ll switch the prompts to the layout of the last type of input you used. However I tend to use a controller for everything, except I’ll use a mouse for more fine tuned control since I suck at aiming with a joystick. But then what happens is the input notifications switch to keyboard/mouse and sometimes don’t switch back.

I’d love to see an option to force which input style gets displayed on screen. Keyboard/Controller/Auto

MrScottyTay,

And some games don’t let you use both at the same time!

SCmSTR,

That was the worst. One time I had a remote desktop host software running, nothing was even connected, but it was detected first or something stupid, and I couldn’t input the game at all. What an absolute nightmare to troubleshoot. I ended up just never actually playing that game with those friends because I couldn’t, and everybody ended up not playing more of it or any of the sequels as a result.

psx_crab, do gaming w More than enough

I just got a 1tb ssd last month, and holy crap it’s the same price i got for 125gb 8 years ago.

Also i still remember the 8gb pendrive i got in around 2008, for that price today i can get 256gb storage with the size of my cat’s toe bean.

tiramichu, (edited )

My first-ever USB pendrive was 256 megabytes, in 2003.

It was a godsend, because to that point I’d been using floppy disks. It was brushed metal and came in a little faux-leather carry pouch. I guess they figured it was so damn expensive, they should at least make it feel premium.

I’ve still got it, and it still works. Quite useful actually for random jobs like flashing the BIOS on old machines that refuse to read from anything too large, or too new.

The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.

Does this mean app devs will finally stop using electron and related to build the world’s least efficient UI?

I can always hope!

CubitOom,
@CubitOom@infosec.pub avatar

No, it means they will use LLMs (AGI™) to rewrite new electron apps from the ground up with exciting new breaking changes each release. You will have to schedule hardware updates at a yearly bases if you want to make use of your software subscription. Luckily, they will offer a hardware subscription which only costs twice as much as it should, it will come with insurance which will never be redeemable for the low cost of $30 a month.

PabloSexcrowbar,

This is my hope. There are so many cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that are orders of magnitude more efficient than electron and nobody uses them. It’s not like GTK and Qt are difficult to learn. In fact, I find them easier to wrap my head around than a lot of the JS nonsense out there.

CompactFlax,

I have bad memories of apps built in qt but that was decades ago, and my objection is visual.

JavaScript, despite any popularity, is a trash language for an application that runs outside of a browser

PabloSexcrowbar,

I suspect that your visual objection may be similar to mine, but over the past several years of being subjected to electron trash, using apps written in Qt kind of reminds me now of a simpler time. Nostalgia is a powerful drug, isn’t it?

That all being said, I do find myself preferring the look of GTK apps lately, in spite of the rather controversial direction their design has taken.

  • Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
  • An actual benchmark for ’optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
  • Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
  • Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
  • Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc.
  • Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.

Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well

Goodlucksil, do games w FediCraft - Season 0

I joined and immediately noticed time seemed to flicker between night and day at random intervals. It stopped when I slept but I wonder why did it happen?

I was wondering that too. Its actually a thunder storm. The worst thing is that it also spawns a lot of skeletons :/. I feel like it is happening alot, it might be related to the biome. Thanks for checking it out though. :)

Adjustable HUD offset for widescreen.

I have a 32:9 display and it SUCKS when HUD elements are anchored to the sides. I have to turn my head to see it!

Gumus,

And FOV axis setting. I hate when there’s a limit on X axis FOV slider and it’s still not wide enough for SUW

frongt, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Not a setting, but a “here’s what you did last time/here’s where you need to go now”. If it’s been a little while since I played the game, I shouldn’t be lost trying to figure out where I am or where I’m going.

AlligatorBlizzard,

I’m playing Pokemon Moon right now and as annoying as the rotom can be I find the recap useful if maybe a little bit hand holdy.

dogslayeggs, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Another commented said Fully Remappable Controls, but I want to foot stomp it. On PC games, I use EDSF instead of WASD, but if some controls can’t be remapped and they overlap with EDSF then I won’t play the game.

On console, I fucking hate that Elden Ring maps “crouch/sneak” to pushing down on the movement stick. I’m furiously fighting for my fucking life against a boss that attacks every 0.7 seconds. I’m moving that stick as fast as I can, which means I’m pushing hard on it. It sucks to be trying to run away from an attack but then start crouching and sneaking away from a 40ft tall axe coming down on you.

Grimy,

I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push down and hold a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.

Daedskin, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Any game with a free cam should have the option to turn off 3d fly. Trying to perfectly position a camera while having to constantly turn in order to not go up or down while trying to slightly reposition has got to be one of the most annoying things.
