HidingCat,

I've missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn't see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there's not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating,, as is the style of gameplay.

HidingCat,

So so so many. Right off the top of my head:

  • Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
  • FTL's boss.
  • Warframe's Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
  • Currently, Ace Combat 7's Pipeline Destruction.
HidingCat,

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10's compatibility mode is working, as it doesn't support 16 bit programs.

What game genre would you like to see more entrants in? angielski

This was something I started wondering about when I was reading a thread about Star Citizen, and about how space combat flight games were much less-common than they had been at one point, how fans of the genre were hungry for new entrants....

HidingCat,

Hybrid MMO/ARPG?

HidingCat,

Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.

HidingCat,

The higher price isn't permanent.

I've worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it's effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).

HidingCat,

How bad is the scalping? I'm in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.

HidingCat,

Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!

HidingCat,

Realised it's not that cheap, US$500? Feels like it's at a price point where I could spend a couple of hundred more and not get Meta involved. Made more sense when it was US$300.

HidingCat,

Yea, but the cost of having FB acquire your data doesn't feel so... worth it? I'm not completely privacy-focused like many on the fediverse but I do view it as a trade-off, and at US$500 the trade-off no longer feels warranted.

Was thinking about the HP Reverb G2, it's a little more expensive than the Quest 3, last I checked.

HidingCat,

Did they forget that failed CCG that Valve was trying? Pretty sure that went into Mostly Negative for a bit too.

HidingCat,

Yea, I forgot the name too, that's why I didn't name it. xD

HidingCat,

Welp, should I get some new SSDs before 11.11 or Black Friday then? XD

HidingCat,

Demo CDs are just a delivery mechanism, and I consider this way better.

Now the practice of giving a demo for a game, that does need to return.

HidingCat,

Yay! Love Steam Next Fest. Just need to find some time to try the demos.

HidingCat,

I've had a game refunded at 3 weeks even, but it was under 1 hour of play time.

HidingCat,

I really should play the first one, but lately I've realised first-person puzzlers have a higher chance of giving me motion sickness, so... :S

Current PC is too bad for Cities Skylines 2. Can anyone judge the PCPartPicker list I've put together?

This is based off the “Great tier” AMD build, but I’m waffling a bit on the price. I don’t really know a whole lot about PC specs, but I read this is supposed to be a good long-lasting build based on the DDR5 and something newer in the CPU or Video card. That being said, I’ve only really ever build mid-tier and while I...

HidingCat,

Might want to wait for the benchmark tests to come out first, if the build is for CS2. I remember CS is pretty CPU heavy, so you might want to hold off on your choice of platform first.

Edit: Also, do check with the PSU tier list, don't have to get A tier, but try something from B. A good PSU will help with the longevity of your build!

HidingCat,

6700XT is still a bit faster than the 7600, I think. Feel free to correct me on this.

Agree on the SSD, while a PCIe4 may not be needed, I'm sure there're plenty of better SSDs than the Intel for cheap at this point in time. The price drops have been pretty good across the board.

HidingCat,

25+ years of GPUs from three different major companies, and I don't think I've ever upgraded the firmware on my GPU. Support is based on the API, be it D3D or Vulkan or OpenGL. As long as there's support your card will work.

HidingCat,

Even in movies they don't want those things, you know how expensive true apochromatic lenses are? Meanwhile games are adding lens defects in. -_-

HidingCat,

Has anyone with a camera ever deliberately wanted a lens to have chromatic aberration?

Only the shallow arty-farty wannabe types, as far as I know. Meanwhile the rest of us spend thousands of dollars trying to remove such effects in our photos.

HidingCat,

Lolwut, cartoon arms? This I gotta see. xD Gonna trawl YouTube for examples.

HidingCat,

Photography plan should still be US$10 for both PS and LR.

HidingCat,

They need to do a LR replacement, then I'll just switch to Affinity.

HidingCat,

Eh, would you prefer that to be US$20 each instead? Why are you ideologically opposed to something when there are benefits?

HidingCat,

No, it's still US$10 for me for both. I wonder if it's a regional thing, or Adobe are being sneaky bastards and hiding the cheaper version of the plan somewhere.

HidingCat,

I'll try it again, but several years ago when I tried it I didn't find it as good.

HidingCat,

Seriously, using a 4 year old article to justify your stance?

HidingCat,

Look harder

HidingCat,

Workflow just wasn't as good, it didn't have a lot of the little features (search was definitely not as nice to use), and as a Nikon shooter back then, it never nailed the Nikon colours the way I wanted without very heavy post-processing, which was time I didn't want to spend.

HidingCat,

Because it's aimed at photographers who raised a huge stink in the first place (I was one of them).

You don't have to use it in the cloud too, all my camera photos are sitting in my drives, none of them have been uploaded to Adobe's servers.

PS and LR at this price is cheaper than the perpetual licenses if I upgraded every other cycle, so it's been cheaper for me. Of course there's still cheaper alternatives for PS now (Affinity Photo is really good), but since I still use LR a lot and the cost is bearable, I stay on it.

HidingCat,

Ah, I see, you're on "All", on the left tab. Hit the "Photo" and you should see it. They're really hiding the cheaper option now!

HidingCat,

Probably why a decent (from various reviews and player reports) solo campaign in the Avengers was saddled with a shitty live-service component.

HidingCat,

It was a high end GPU, it was always going to be in the minority of users.

HidingCat,

Saw this article posted earlier by someone, and I'm going to say the same thing: Sus source, article reads like an AI generated one.

HidingCat,

I have no idea, I'm not familiar with this site at all. Another candidate for a ban?

HidingCat,

That's a great take.

Also, most of the comments seem to be commentating on the headlines. If they bothered to click through and read, I think they'd feel more disgusted with the article than Star Citizen itself. xD

HidingCat,

I'm just curious on the layout, mostly on why the up and down buttons are switched. I thought the left thumb would be down, not up.

HidingCat,

That's a great explanation from you, as well as from @j_p_. Thanks you two, understood a bit more about these controllers.

HidingCat,

Welp. I only played Murder By Numbers from them, but it's sad to see a studio you know get hit like that.

HidingCat,

Yea, it was a fun little mash up of VN and nonograms.

HidingCat,

Well, I just checked, the US military has over one million active personnel, and if 1% of them are dumb, and 1% of that are especially dumb, that's still over a hundred people. So if a few of them play War Thunder... yup.

HidingCat,

You and I don't, but gods, every time a new game trailer drops, the Discord communities I'm in all go HYPE HYPE HYPE I'm preordering. Or you can just see it from the YouTube comments. Too many idiots giving their money before a product has been proven.

HidingCat,

They're a good gauge of a game's quality; it's not rocket science is it?

HidingCat,

Ugh, yea, it reads like AI-generated output. Sus site.

HidingCat,

It works for me, but I recall having to use Ublock's element zapper and custom rules to get around a lot of the shit they pull.

HidingCat,

You know what I commend them for this. If it helps move mobile gaming away from a microtransaction pay-to-win hellscape I'm for it.
