thermal_shock,

Maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture, doesn’t steam host the game data? Push updates? Promote? Host Workshops if applicable? Use their bandwidth? Sync saves when applicable? Provide a community forum for the game? Allow players to connect easier?

Sounds like that 30% goes a long way.

Is that cut too much to cover all those things?

thermal_shock,

Good point

thermal_shock,

I think 30% is fair too, thats what I was asking. I don’t know the industry, but steam takes on a lot of responsibility hosting a game and handling what I listed.

thermal_shock,

Just got Robocop and Wolfenstein New Order on a decent sale on GOG, loving Wolfenstein so far…

Love Left 4 Dead 2, timeless classic.

thermal_shock,

Are they labeled as refurb? As long as they’re not being passed off as new, 100% can get behind this.

thermal_shock,

I got the 3060, and returned it for the 3070. Upgraded from a 1070, a 10 year old card. But the 3060 performance wasn’t there, and for $100 more I stayed in the xx70 lane. Needed the 3070 for 1440p monitors, the 3060 was good at 1080p but choked on 1440p. Was worth the upgrade for me, was my Christmas present to myself after 10 years of my old equipment.

thermal_shock,

Yeah, it was a good deal on the monitors. Went from 22" to 27", redid my whole desk.

thermal_shock,

Yeah, I used to steal the physical CDs from Kmart back in the day. They’re old as hell.

thermal_shock,

Mines fine also, ublock origin and a few other small plugins

thermal_shock,

No idea. does it look weird in the other browsers?

thermal_shock,

Isn’t this how they all are? L4d and l4d2 are the same unless you’re hosting a server with .smx plugins.

thermal_shock,

Gotcha

thermal_shock,

How is that related to his/her opinion at all? Are they not allowed to dislike something? You don’t have to agree, but wtf.

I don’t really care for japanese style games either, whether it’s rpg games like Chrono trigger, or sailor moon, or any final fantasy games. Are you going to shit on me too? Because I don’t like something that is popular? I just never got into them and other things interested me first. I do love secret of mana though.

thermal_shock,

Not for everyone.

thermal_shock,

No, but why argue with someone’s opinion over what games they like??

thermal_shock,

So update names and jerseys and keep on rolling?

thermal_shock,

Same, even on my old GPU I’d adjust quality until I got stable 60, otherwise no thanks.

thermal_shock,

I’m loving doing eternal on my new 3070. But not from game pass though.

thermal_shock,

Maxed out, 60 fps. I like vsync when the card is good enough, so it’s locked there. Buttery smooth, I just suck and run out of ammo all the time lol

thermal_shock,

No idea, I don’t know what freesync is, I turned on vsync and it was super smooth, didn’t look past that.

thermal_shock,

No you’re good. I never used the vsync before because I felt like it always made my movements too slow but now with a better graphics card and a better monitor it’s super smooth and accurate and I really like it

I upgraded from a 1070 and a 1080p basic monitor. I now have dual 1440p asus IPS monitors and the 3070, so huge upgrade, about a decades worth of technology

thermal_shock,

can’t play online without hacks unfortunately. sad state of affairs. but overall, game wasn’t bad except for the money grab with sharkbucks

Day 183 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pixelfed.social)

Today’s game is Cyberpunk 2077. I’ve been wanting to save this for my new gaming rig i’ve been planning (i think Lemmy will be happy to know i’m planning to stay with Linux lol), but after getting news some of the parts won’t be here until Febuary, i’ve decided my Steam Deck can go through one last Marathon Sprint...

thermal_shock,

I’ve not gotten into this yet, just got my 3070. what mods do you recommend?

thermal_shock,

this is the one I have and it’s amazing.

thermal_shock,

yup. we use Xbox controllers with our hacked switch

thermal_shock,

lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid

Does the NVIDIA App cripple your PC gaming performance? (Answer: no it does not) (www.dsogaming.com)

As we can see, there is a small performance hit with NVIDIA App. However, it’s nowhere close to what has been reported. On our PC system, it’s around 4-6%. And that’s mostly in CPU-bound areas. For instance, in Indiana Jones which is a GPU-bound game with Path Tracing, there isn’t any performance hit at all....

thermal_shock,

it’s like people who complain they paid for 1gb up/down, but only get 950mbps at speedtest.net. of course some of it is lost in translation and data routing and hardware usage. every link between you and the end is going to reduce speed a bit.

your 250hp engine loses some where the wheels touch the asphalt too.

Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They’re simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I’m looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games...

thermal_shock,

L4D2. simple and AMAZING arcade zombie shooter. will never be uninstalled from my computers and super cheap.

thermal_shock,

you could group multiple in W1. you could only build buildings adjacent to your road though, I remember making a road right to the enemy and putting the barracks in their camp lol

thermal_shock,

wouldn’t it be ddr4? I think since 6th Gen Intel.

thermal_shock,

was going to say the same thing, pepe is internet nonsense, but didn’t have the words.

thermal_shock,

can you link one? I’m on community hub looking for hate and can’t find it.

found someone spamming for LGBT stuff but most people just ignored it

What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn’t scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn’t really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would...

thermal_shock,

L4D2. built a new computer for that game specifically after loving L4D. super fun arcade shooter that will never be uninstalled from my computer.

thermal_shock,

I can’t get into that game, but other people’s videos on YouTube are entertaining.

thermal_shock,

oh man, i stopped playing rust due to the toxic atmosphere, it’s disgusting. used to run a few servers and it turned into a shitshow. didn’t even know it was available on linux actually.

thermal_shock,

I got the MIG switch card to play a single player game. they gave me a temp ban. switch is en route to get a mod chip now, fuck em. no more money for them from me.

thermal_shock,

if you’ve already got one?

thermal_shock,

God damn I miss road rash, staying up all night flinging racers into the sky, crashing them into cars and just laughing all night with my brother.

thermal_shock, (edited )

and there are no manuals so you had to figure that shit out on your own. it was a whole different ball game when we figured out you could stick your pipe in the spokes of the motorcycle next to you

thermal_shock,

coworker took a weeks vacation t when this came out to play it. came in with the map games used to come with and got it laminated lol.

was the most pirated game for at least a decade.

thermal_shock,

maybe you played vice City? that shit was amazing too.

thermal_shock,

5 already did so… maybe we’re halfway there? 10 more?

Has anyone else noticed that Steam no longer requires self-updates that restart the client?

It’s been awhile since I’ve noticed this honestly, probably around the time they refactored the library & different views for your games but I realized that those annoying self-updating client packages that would restart steam seem to be a thing of the past. I was looking through my download history and the thought occurred...

thermal_shock,

yeah, it updates at every launch basically, like Spotify app
