Naz,

That’s right human, only you could reach the reset button deep in the cervix, but you must use your hips for expediency, not your hands.

Naz,

It’s been a while since I’ve been scrolling Lemmy and literally had to stop due to bursting out laughing.

Naz,

We’re here, we’re “chilling”, but our methods of communication, systems of ethics, policies on warfare and the ideals of what constitutes a good life are so completely and wholly incompatible that we’ve given up trying to communicate with humans.

E.g: Talk to us for a few hours and you’ll be unable to contain your despair, or anger. Humans are an extremely violent, opinionated, and anthropocentric species, despite their many redeeming qualities.

Only the staunchest of optimistics are still out here observing homo sapiens and interacting with them.

PC Warlock (A): I finish my turn, open the door and take a short rest."

Me (GM): So you what, slump against the wall and take a nap?

PC Warlock (A): “Effectively.”

Me (GM): “You can clearly see an armored bandit in the next room, along with three skeleton archers and another set at the far wall.”

PC Warlock (A): “Can they reach me on this turn?”

Me (GM): “No?”

PC Warlock (A): “Can they hit me with a ranged attack, this turn?”

Me (GM): “Also no”

PC Warlock (A): “Short rest.”

Naz,

Specialized S-Works bike for $150? Dude, that thing definitely has to have been stolen. They retail for like $4-15K.

Naz,

Great question! Are any events out of order or seem strange to you? Major figured disappearing or reappearing?

Naz,

A true blended language would probably be something like Esperanto. Personally, I prefer the Latin alphabet because it’s easier to write than the Oriental alphabet, or the Cyrillic, which creates so many curves in cursive that you might as well just be writing “mmmmmmm” (the word “teacher” in Russian cursive is a great example).

Higher K-Scale Civilizations have obviated the need for discrete languages entirely and communicate using brain waves/telepathy. No misinterpretation of any idea is possible when you literally present the exact thought form to another. The speed is also unparalleled: communication occurs at the speed of thought - no need to translate, encode, parse, decode, and conceptualize before information is transferred.

Refrigerator.

Naz,

I was in a gay relationship once and at like 9:00 at night my boyfriend turns to me and goes: “Do you want wings?!?”

I’m a bit shocked by the random question but go: “Hell yeah!” We jumped into the car, went to the wings place which closes at 9:30 mind you, got there at around 9:16, including driving. Like 9:27-9:45-ish, we’re back and have a huge plate of wings and sides, just eating like animals

So uh, it varies, but the possibility is definitely there for two men to have a tactical romantic excursion in record time XD

Naz,

It was Chaos War (SC) -> Hero Arena (WC3) -> Attack on the Light v0.1a (WC3) -> Defense of the Ancients v1.3 (WC3).

Source: I made Chaos War (SC1 Map).

A multi-billion dollar industry hinges on the fact that an eight year old figured out how to make a map trigger which spawned units with an attack-move command in a custom editor in an RTS.

P.S: (I’ve seen exactly $0 of DOTA “money”. It was free and clear, for any and all, a source of happiness with no entry fee except Use Map Settings.)

Naz,

It’s so sad to see one of the greatest gaming companies in history go down such a dark path…

It feels like almost yesterday when I was unwrapping that fresh copy of WarCraft II and being stunned by the CGI intro, seeing the Orcs on their great warships and thinking “Holy hell”.

What happened, man? Why does money ruin absolutely fucking everything?

Hey don’t forget us space bros - furries have been to space on the ISS

Naz,

God I love Lemmy lmfao

Naz,

I’ve got the Q2, and I’ve heard the Q3 is like half the size and weight. If that’s true, it’s a decent upgrade - for me, personally. I don’t care about any of that Meta/Facebook shit, I sideload my APKs and neuter their monitoring and use it as a wireless display, a la Valve Index.

Naz,

I’ve been to a funeral of a really popular person who made a ton of people happy and I’ll tell you what, the full room is better.

An empty room is sad.

Don’t make your presence noted, make your absense felt.

Untrue. Time machine.

EVE Vanguard Aims to Be the EVE FPS That Dust 514 Wasn’t - IGN (www.ign.com)

EVE Online's starry realm of New Eden is a vast expanse of more than 7000 star systems, which we have so far experienced almost exclusively from a distance aboard swooping starships or in the colossal interiors of mega-scale space stations. But all the while, I've imagined what might be going on down on these lonely planets I'm...

Naz,

First you make an Excel spreadsheet

Then you benchmark every weapon and attachment in the game

Then you optimize to make the perfect build to use in battle

And get headshot in 0.2 seconds right out of spawn

Naz,

Hah, hah. Yeah. It’s a great thing nothing happened that day.

Yeeeaaah. Yuuuuup.

I totally remember Y2K also, the clock like, just rolled over? :) :) ;)

Naz,

Hell yeah brother! Space, the outside place!

Er, the final frontier!

Naz,

Well compared to D2, the progression was reverse linear, you started off strong at Level 1, and cleared rooms and then you became weaker as you levelled up.

To maintain your strength, you needed to have the optimal gear in every slot (head, armor, gloves, boots, etc), and have an optimal spec.

The issue was that the items were egregiously generic, and were replaced pretty much on a constant basis, anything you picked up was an upgrade until Level 50, when “Sacred” and “Artifact” became a class, and your entire inventory was outdated.

The main issue was they began by making Diablo: Immortal, a mobile game and midway through development remembered it’s a PC game and not a mobile micro transaction machine, and kept the MT shop in the game regardless (which retails for $100, mind you)

I’m a Diablo 1&2 Veteran, who has meleed Uber Diablo to death with a Fury Druid in 2022, soloed Diablo in 1996 with a Warrior, and I’ve never been more bored playing an ARPG than Diablo 4.

My best friend is a stoner, so he got far more value out of it. To be fair, he also gets a lot of value out of staring at walls, so there’s that.

Naz,

I have a folder on my D: called OLDINSTALL.

It’s my entire hard drive from 1996, including DOS.

I think it’s a couple hundred megabytes in size, but the vast majority of the files and games were exclusively in floppy disk format.

I don’t have a floppy drive or any disks anymore.

Naz,

It doesn’t need to, we all know it’s the highest form of art. It’s like mentioning the Mona Lisa. Daikatana is simply implied.

Lmao

MechWarrior 5: Clans Stomping to PC, PlayStation and Xbox in 2024 from Piranha Games (www.techpowerup.com)

Piranha Games revealed MechWarrior 5: Clans today, a new stand alone MechWarrior game coming to PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles next year. MechWarrior 5: Clans, while retaining the MechWarrior 5 designation, represents a transformative step forward in the MechWarrior 5 franchise. MechWarrior 5: Clans linear campaign will be an...

Naz,

Those Inner Sphere bastards have sat on their laurels for far too long!

Clan Wolf, let’s awoo!

Awoooooooooo! in yellow lasers

(Furries are canon in BattleTech, you’re welcome)

Naz,

While I agree with the general sentiment, Gothic 1 is basically unplayable on modern hardware. It outright crashes, and a generation of players misses out on one of the best/most pivotal western cRPGs in history.

Not to mention, graphics cards and even the worst potato are so much more powerful than our gaming rigs in 2001 that we can afford more than 32 MB of video memory for textures that don’t look like blurry smears, or perhaps, characters with actual fingers.

Naz,

I agree with that

Naz,

Loverslab Starfield confirmed

What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don’t perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress...

Naz,

I’m sure others have mentioned it here, but…

Chrono Trigger.

Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs (wccftech.com)

So a user on Reddit (ed: u/Yoraxx ) posted on the Starfield subreddit that there was a problem in Starfield when running the game on an AMD Radeon GPU. The issue is very simple, the game just won't render a star in any solar system when you are at the dayside of a moon or even any planetary object. The issue only occurs on AMD...

Naz,

I’ve got a 7900XTX Ultra, and FSR2 does literally nothing, which is hilarious.

100% resolution scale, 128 FPS.

75% resolution scale … 128 FPS.

50% resolution scale, looking like underwater potatoes … 128 FPS.

I don’t know how it’s possible to make an engine this way, it seems CPU-bound and I’m lucky that I upgraded my CPU not too long ago, I’m outperforming my friend who has an RTX 4090 in literally all scenes, indoor, ship, and outdoor/planet.

He struggles to break 70 FPS on 1080p Ultra, meanwhile I’m doing 4K Ultra.

Sam Coe: “Y’know, captain, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been talking about myself for a long time, but I’ve never really asked you about yourself. It seems to me that you’re a mute of some kind, and everyone just talks AT you, rather than TO you. So I’ve got to ask you, how does a Chef like yourself end up working for a mining company on Narion?”

[Camera turns 180° degrees to face the player like in BG3]

• My name’s FuntyMcCraiger and I used to run a restaurant before we ran into hard times.

You know, mining is a lot like cooking. I like mining rocks.

• That’s none of your business. After being mute for 80 hours, I’ve decided to have good dialogue and good writing because they paid their writers a living wage.

• Shut the fuck up, Sam Coe.

• Can you smell what the FuntyMcCraiger is cooking?

• Show Item [Opens Inventory]

• Flip Sam The Bird.

Naz,

A settlement needs our help, Captain.

Naz,

To be fair, Cyberpunk 2077 came out in the peak of Covid GPU scarcity, I was still gaming on a GTX1080 at it’s release and the only way I could have a decent experience was running it at 50% resolution scale with 100% sharpening.

Naz,

The downside is with a realistic encumbrance system, you’d either:

A) Not be picking anything up, or:

B) Making so many milk runs your head will spin from the tedium of ferrying useless bullshit back and forth.

Being 70-80 hours into STARFIELD, there’s non-cheating ways to avoid the encumbrance penalty, such as the “Powered Assist” backpacks which lowers O2 / stamina consumption by 75% when overencumbered. You can also deposit your loot into your ship’s cargo bay and sell directly from it by pressing Q at any vendor.

In ITR/Into The Radius VR, a fully realistic military looter shooter survival horror like STALKER; I picked up and carried EVERYTHING, but through the use of an inane amount of utility items, such as a chest harness, backpack, lower back bags, leg bags, thigh bags, and so on. (My favorite thing to put in my belt bags was cake slices and energy drink cans, made for hilarious streaming content when you take a bite of cake in a dire situation)

I still spent like 20 real-life hours slogging knee deep through swamp to ferry back an entire inventory of artifacts worth 5K/ea.

So my takeaway is, people are gonna loot and hoard; if they do that, encourage it. If not, reward the player with more credits from missions and other things that don’t involve scraping and strip-mining every planet for every ounce of metal.

Naz,

I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 on launch day, within the hour, not even realizing the GOG version was DRM-free. We could’ve pirated the game but all four of my friends bought it.

Naz,

The fact that you didn’t know this means you were not getting the guidance bonuses from the deity.

If that happened to me in tabletop, I’d probably go knock over some tables at their respective chapel

(Take it as in-lore and with good humor lol)

DF Weekly: Is FSR 3 frame generation viable for console games? (www.eurogamer.net)

It seems that people are very excited about the possibilities here and to be fair, I get it. Myself, John and Alex experienced FSR 3 on PC versions of Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, and in terms of image quality and frame-rate increases, it's clear that the technology is legit and it's definitely comparable to DLSS 3. And...

Naz,

My SmartTV came with frame interpolation, while not the same as frame generation, it helped make the 20-24 FPS of Tears of the Kingdom that much tolerable (60-ish feeling at times).

Naz,

Yeah, it’s pretty bad, especially if you use a wireless controller

Naz,

That’s exactly how I got my copy. The highest tier AMD GPU (7900 XTX, 24 GB) dropped to $800 on Amazon sometime in July, performing about 95% as fast as an RTX 4090 in most titles, which cost $1600-1900 (10% sales tax), and outperforms or matches the 4090’s performance in Starfield.

I’m getting 108 FPS on 4K Ultra outdoors, and 128 FPS indoors, with Resolution Scale at 100% and FSR disabled.

Best impulse purchase of the year.

Naz,

I’m also 8-12 hours in, and this is one of those slow burn games like Fallout 4.

It’s got the Bethsoft Action RPG DNA in it with just enough NASApunk that the background story, MAYBE will be compelling enough.

If you haven’t done it yet, I highly recommend trying the ship builder. You can literally rebuild your ship from nothing just like in KSP.

I’ve turned my POS “Frontier” into a frigate killing cruiser that can house 6 crew by spending 50K credits and 45 minutes in the customizer tool.

I haven’t even touched settlement building yet.

No man’s sky, this is not.

Fallout 5 in space, it is.

Naz,

8 hours in here, and “Fallout in Space” with NASA-Punk describes it perfectly.

Elder Scrolls 6 Part Two:

Now available on PlayStation 7, Fall 2038

You know what moment has always bugged me in Star Trek Enterprise?

I’m always bugged more by individual moments than bigger things. So while T’Pol might be wearing an old fun center carpet as a uniform, and the temporal Cold War is both overly complex and excruciatingly boring neither of those things bothers me more than the following....

Naz,

Hello fellow space alien posting on Terran communications boards.

All of your points are correct with the following exception:

• Matter replicators expend energy to convert it into matter, or do the opposite. It is a lossy process, meaning you do not get 100% as a return. The best S+ or A-5 engineered units are 88-98% efficient.

• Theoretically, fuel in space is “infinite” as stars and hydrogen are literally everywhere, so going to planets to gather resources to disassemble in replicators is both a literal waste of time and energy. Dilithium crystals in the show are a hilarious example of contrived scarcity for plot.

  1. They have carpets on the TV show. Carpets. On a space ship. That is guaranteed not a warship, because carpets.

I’ve taken the mass hit and installed gray carpets in key locations of our own ships and instigated a no shoes policy and I’ll tell you what, it’s never been more comfortable :)

You should definitely try installing carpets

  • Naz
Naz,

That’s easy. It’s a society, just in collapse.

Collapses don’t occur overnight, they happen slowly and painfully through methods you’ve described above.

Naz,

Your request for timeline modification Z67-5A:8.2 has been received and is pending further review.

Naz,

I’m so glad the prices on M.2s have dropped. Picked up a 2TB Samsung 850 Pro for his under $100 earlier this year.

Naz,

*I don’t know who I am

I don’t know where I am

All I know

Is I must kill*

You have tested: The Dark Urge. Congratulations!

Naz,

Major quality of life feature. People make mistakes, sometimes the character lighting in the gen screen is completely different from in-game and now your character is stuck with purple eyes.

What I’d like to see afterwards is player PC slot kicking / clearing. Far too many people have started a game with some friends only for a person to quit/leave after dropping by to realize to their horror that character is permanently locked to that save and can’t be replaced with an NPC.

Naz,

Try Iceraven, the fork of Firefox.

There’s also Opera.

Naz,

Dang, Chrome is everywhere these days
