Part of why I became a super racist was because the group I played vanilla WoW to Wrath with were a bunch of racist dudes from the South.

What do you think he learned fellas?

>>110598
Don't tell that to a leftist or they'll use your story for evidence that censorship works.

>>110599
That 24 year old MMO's don't have many players?

>>110594
Flawed development is when the game is horribly optimized, sometimes due to just using the wrong engine for the purpose.
Oblivion Remastered for example runs at a choppy 19 FPS on an RTX 3050 6GB at low settings, DLSS Ultra Performance 1080p (youtu.be/watch?v=ZcGWT74mzv0).
Unfortunately Bethesda has a massive amount of fanboys who bought the game anyway, rewarding Bethesda's decision not to optimize the game.
Games like E33 and Pragmata on the other hand run comfortably well on an RTX 3050 6GB. Especially Pragmata, even a GTX 1060 6GB can run it at 60 FPS 1080p lowish settings with FSR.

this is anti-consumer but HDV will still buy it (>>106512) even though phagtasm suggested a superior economical option (>>109870)

noone asked

>>110677
Why is it showing a picture of the original Steam controller tho

>>110693
because youre gay

See, IGN gave it a 9 out of 10, now I'm obligated to buy it. lol heh

>>110694
Ehrm...rude? Don't be like that fam

Why tf do my pictures drop on mobile so often. It's like I have to wait for them to load to post them which feels a bit unusual heh

>>110693
dunno it's from /v/
>pcgamer.com/hardware/game-pads/steam-controller-2026-review/
>The Steam Controller, true to its name, requires Steam to function and may require more set-up for non-Steam games.
>The Controller requires Steam or the Steam Link app. I tested it on GeForce Now via my iPhone and while it did connect over Bluetooth, it was not recognised in-game. It did, however, work seamlessly over a local connection using Steam Link.

The gayest videogame community on planet earth:


It's a VERY flawed game and you can't notice how until you've put enough hours in.
There are 2 major flaws with Melee:
1) It is counter productive to its own existence (I'll explain)
2) It's way too tier list oriented.
As for being "counter productive to its own existence", there is an objectively best way to play. And that's to play boring. Never approach. If you approach, you lose. But if you don't approach, you get heckled by the real-life crowd of people.
Melee is a catch 22 in which if you play to win, you get the ire of the community. What a stupid system!
It's also way too heavy on the tier list stuff. Sure, it's technically possible to win with a mid-tier, but you will NEVER do it, ever. And matchups are a real thing. You CANNOT become a champion with a solo main. You have to dual main because of bad matchups. This really frustrated me because I wanted badly to solo main, but you cannot do that in melee and succeed.



Melee community went full libtard
>people getting instabanned on twitch for "misgendering" recently trooned-out melee players
>Hungrybox banning "transphobes" from his online tournaments
>mang0 has recently started pandering to faggots
>"transphobes" getting banned from Melee discord/reddit etc.
>inb4 melee had it coming
There's nothing inherant to this nintendo party game that demands the player base be this cringe. Like what is going on? I like the game but damn I'm not sure if I want to go to tournaments any more.




>Marth and Falco make melee LITERALLY unplayable.
This is true but not the whole story. I've been playing for a long time and I've figured out a deadly flaw in Melee's gameplay.
It's too character dependent. There are only 3 characters that will let you play the game for a living. Jigglypuff/Marth/Fox. (it's debatable whether Jiggs should even be in there) all the other characters are simply not good enough to get a sponsorship and go full time. Literally 2 characters. If that doesn't turn you off to the game, then I don't know what will
>but Amsa!
freak of nature. You (yes you) will never get a sponsorship with Yoshi. EVER!
>but what about [insert character here that has one player with a sponsorship]
Allow me to continue the redpill:
The tier list is based solely on whether your character can hit the opponent up (like, the direction, up). Yes, it's that simple. Marth/Fox/Jigglypuff can hit the opponent straight up for endless combos.
What's you're favorite character? Is it Mario? He can't hit straight up, so down he goes on the tier list. By the way Yoshi can hit character's upwards. Just food for thought.

>There's nothing inherant to this nintendo party game that demands the player base be this cringe.
Pretty sure that's the player base you should expect when it's autists treating a party game like a serious fighting game. I've always had a visceral disgust for Melee players. I don't usually get upset about someone's retarded hobbies, but there's just something indescribable about them that gets my ire. They're the only people I encourage Nintendo to crack down on.

Where were u when [Heroes of Might and Magic-adjacent] History was made, anon? Who else

>day 1

here?

>>110722
I played Might and Magic 3 on SNES when I was a kid, but I've never been an RTS fan.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3105440/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_Olden_Era/

LET'S GOOOO!

I bought it but I probably won't play it for a week or more at this rate. L-...LOL!

>Early Access

W-wait...I thought they already did the Early Access thing. Oh no, that's right, that was just a demo. I can't keep track of this kind of crap.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I just paid $30 to be a notoriously unreliable publisher's guinea pig

NOOOOOOOOO

>>110762
hilarious, if you wanted to be really funny youd stop posting here

Digital Foundry says Oblivion Remastered is unplayable a year later even on a 9800X3D + RTX 5090 (skip to 1:20)

>>110850
Games like this are proof that computing power was never the issue. Programmers could create basically any video game idea with just XBOX specs but like how Ted K talked about it, newer technology is hoisted upon us whether we like it or not.

>>110850
It also looks worse than the original. It's 20X the hardware requirements for a shittier game.

>>110857
UE5 is to blame

It's Happening
>despite having some of the worst millenialslop writing I've yet encountered without forewarning

Happy the series is doing well, though. The gameplay formula is still enjoyable. I dare say the campaign doesn't even attempt to take itself seriously and it makes me appreciate "Songs of Conquest", a game inspired by HoMM released a couple years ago, a bit more. SoC's campaign story isn't necessarily great by any means either but is more in line with what I'd expect from a HoMM title which always had setting that was a little out there (even with the earlier titles they basically just crammed as many different public domain mythological creatures into a game as they could with little regard to how well they complemented the others).

>>110857
They also made a bunch of retarded gameplay changes. Old Knight on YouTube has meticulous documentation of Oblivion.

Ehrm...

>>110896
>>110858
I've been saying this for years, so I probably already said it here, but all I wanted was a 64bit version of Oblivion with .ESL support for mods. Why won't they just release an SE version of the game without the UE5 clusterfuck on top of it? Why should it take a recompilation effort or writing an engine from scratch just to update a classic game for modern systems, where you would receive no thanks for your free labor except for a C&D letter, when they clearly still have the source code and could release it so easily?

This was the genuinely the hardest mod I've ever done.
It took me 3 hrs to clear the dust on the INSIDE of the LCD.
If anyone tells you the Switch is a well designed console, they've never had to fix one or take one apart.
They're completely garbagely planned obsolencedly designed. I'll give you some examples:
>The left joycon rail MUST snake round a screw hole, causing fraying and deterioration over time; this for a console that's flagship was the joycons (not that my man hands use those, but they still shouldn't be breaking.
>When I was gently removing the right rail with loop tweezers, the seating clip just came off. It still works, but it was clearly not adhered to the motherboard well.
>The digitiser and game card share PCB space; if your game card (the main way this console actually PLAYED games before all was digital) is unseated from the main motherboard which is very easy to do, your touchscreen won't work and game cards won't read. The seating is clipped into the rest of the board rather than by a ribbon cable hinge despite the ribbon cable again having a crimp, which could fray over time.

I haven't seen a teardown video of the Bing Bing Wahoo Machine 2, but I bet it's similarly cheaply made.

>>110925
Wow, cool shit Phambo

All of this shit just brings to mind the PS2's tiny baby cable that runs from its mainboard to the power/reset and eject buttons that could be pulled right the fuck off if you weren't expressly aware of it in advance heh

tbh I think a lot of the issues you're describing may have more to do with the engineers needing to fight for every millimeter of space in that thing, but I don't know heh

>>110925
phantasm youre never beating the soyboy allegations doing crap like this

Gaming is for fucking losers. I hate being addicted to this shit. So much pussy I could have had if I weren't sat in front of a glowing rectangle at three years old.

What, having fun fixing small electronics?

>>110965
yes lol owned

>>110965
no, playing nintendo and putting pink things on said nintendo controller

>>110967
I don't even really play much Nintendo exclusives on it tbh
Rosé is also a nice colour lol
You can change the lights of that controller by pressing one of the buttons; it just matches for photo
Are you 12? It's just a colour, my guy

>>110979
wouldnt the lights just drain the battery though
>Are you 12?
with all due respect, im not the one playing nintendo on a pink nintendo console

>>110981
Not really; battery has done well over the years. I'm gonna get another one one of these days too with more mAh.
Avid, genuinely, it's just a colour. If I rocked up to a party in a pink shirt, would that make me immature or gay or whatever? Not to mention, like 75% of the games on the CFW is ports of PC & console games I don't want to pay for (in Minecraft). I genuinely don't get your point about it being on something Bing Bing Wahoo; does it magically become more mature if it's an indie game ported over to another platform?

It's horrifying to me how much stuff I threw out like age 15 to 30 (mid 30s now). And is it really hoarding when you want to just store stuff? I had a nice tendon ds, some sega handheld thing with this absolutely fun crush/physics mining sort of game. Plus all the clothes and accessories like bracelets with metal spikes, a choker (heh, you mad?), shit ton of band shirts, and other jewellery.

Only partly on topic but I organised a bunch of stuff, lots of it was tech, by putting it into reusable shopping bags. It's not a perfect solution because some stuff is e.g. not put into its packaging box properly, like manuals and warranties, but it still worked really well. Very very nice to have a free or mostly free shelf or three. It's a spot for when I get back into... Naughty things heh.

Choose whichever one of these applies to you

1) Tits or GTFO
or
2) You will never be a woman

>>110988
Unless you're a 10/10 Korean bishoujo goth Sephiroth chad it's cringe to speak like this

>>111071
I'm nostalgic about stuff and otherwise it has value to me... Objects are my friends heh.

>>110986
its pointless trying to convince you, the soy will defend their soyness, yes wearing pink is gay too

>>111071
Tbh I dont know what u mean.

>>111076
you won't wear pink but you'll lick a nigger erection? your priorities are all fucked up, duder!

I was only able to make a HighSpell account recently. How did a game with such a small amount of players have so much drama? It seems more like a RS1 singleplayer server for autists to silently click things and see number go up. I rarely see people talk on global chat.
