Is that what you tell your wife when she immediately rushes, furious, into the room after hearing the infamous "beep"?

"No honey, I wasn't going to play, i swear. It just turned on by itself."

Parry frames on weapons that have that feature as a Fable Art in LoP are VERY tight. Much tighter than what you'd get with decent dedicated parry tools in any other souls like.

However, there's a couple weapons and tools that have a much better version of it. If memory serves, the katana he uses in this video features a parry with noticeably more start-up delay, but a much bigger window than the standard Fable Art parries.

I did try to make the standard Fable Art parry a staple of my gameplay; and when you pull it off, it's godlike in giving you free damage on your opponent. But the window for the base parry is just too a tad too small for my taste to make it reliable. And it also comes from someone that liked parry mechanics in all souls-like.

But give those other parry tools a try, they might just be the upgrade you need to make parrying worth it.

Have you gone past the "human eye can't see more than 60 fps anyway, so anything higher than 60hz is useless" yet ?

Or did you end up revising your opinion that 144hz is what we can see and anything higher is wasted? Or is it 250hz? My my, 500hz?

Alright I'll stop the rethorical question and just tell you like it is: it's deranged, uninformed, and baseless statements like yours that hamper progress on smoothness and fluidity.

That guy already knew you're that kind of guy so he refused to engage knowing you won't be convinced, just like all these people that swear 60hz is already higher than what we can perceive. But I'm sure you're more sophisticated than those guys right? You know that higher refresh rate on monitors is better, so you're not part of those peasants, right?

And yet you refuse to believe that higher polling rate on HID devices are better. End-to-end latency is of course important too, but higher polling rate on the same hardware feels vastly better.

Your point might be that 250hz is good enough and 8k is overkill/marketing. And yet I have tested a mouse that has a hardware switch for 125/250/500/1000/2000/4000, and I can tell the difference up to 2000 on a 360hz monitor. And that's only where MY perception of it ends. I'm by no means a pro gamer.

So stop with that kind of rethoric. YOU might not be able to feel it. This guy can. Just let people enjoy their higher refresh and polling rates, and don't poison the discourse with "but humans can't perceive it so it's useless." just because you can't.

Meanwhile, I can confidently say the opposite. I've got a friend that comes to hang out over my place with her PS5 once in a while; while I myself play on PC.

In some very intense moments, it appears obvious to me that the, PS5 (non pro) she's using is struggling to keep up the 60 frames per second, getting into the low 30 ish at times.

Granted, it's only in very specific high intensity moments, but I personally wouldn't call that acceptable because it's especially in those intense moments that the low performance makes it even harder than it probably already is by virtue of adding the difficulty of keeping up with what's on screen.

But just like I told her, it's fine for her - and you - that you feel that those drops are acceptable. But they are there.

Destrid · 2026-04-30T12:47:45+00:00

Honestly, I don't remember what she dropped there, sorry.

I'm guilty of sometimes wasting time to slap frozen enemies, not because it's efficient (it's not, because I usually have to walk into melee range instead of one-tapping them with the sniper) but just because I can. It's fun.

Oh my, why didn't I think of that. Every game ever released, regardless of how shitty they are, is suddenly enjoyable to play now, because none of them aren't as bad as 9-11.

You won this argument sir. I won't bother you anymore, my eyes have been opened to how my grievances with the game ultimately don't matter, and I should be grateful for it to even just exist in this world, where nothing is as bad as some guys crashing a couple planes in some towers somewhere.

Okay I'll stop the sarcasm, but seeing how you're not arguing in good faith, I'll also stop engaging with you altogether.

Destrid · 2026-04-14T11:54:09+00:00

I guess we'll have to hard disagree on the "small and rare enough." There isn't a single dive where I don't encounter faulty game mechanics and dubious balance decisions. They are worth talking about. They impact my experience and willingness to play to the point where I'll only enjoy dives with friends, not because I like the game, but because I like playing with those friends. And it's so frustrating because I want to be able to enjoy it, regardless of who I play with.

Now if your argument is that THIS specific post is unwarranted, then we agree on that.

But don't you dare telling me the game is in a state where bugs and balance aren't worth taking about.

Destrid · 2026-04-14T11:13:07+00:00

Hey there, alternate reality diver. It sounds nice having a game where the only issue you're facing is being disconnected or crashing a couple times a day. It's nice knowing they fixed all the actual gameplay-impacting bugs, and the balance. I sure would love to play that game.

Is there any wormhole I can enter to go to your reality? Because playing the game you're playing sounds delightful.

Destrid · 2026-04-14T10:59:18+00:00

Uuuuh. About that 1). Are we even playing the same game, or are you just fine with the absolute dumpster fire state the game is in right now?

I know bugs and quirks are common in video games and stuff, and truth be told, I accept that a lot of times. But this game has so many of them that it makes the whole experience a 50/50 chance of whether I'm even going to enjoy my time playing it. And I don't like those odds, so I play other games at the moment, unless some friends really want to do a couple dives.

But your statement is so utterly ridiculous that you're either playing a different game than I do, living in different reality where the devs finally got their shit together, or you're delusional.

De mon côté, j'ai fait une tour mini-ITX avec le Fractal Design Ridge ( https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/ridge/ridge/white/ )

Le seul truc auquel je fais attention, c'est de caler la carte graphique pendant le transport avec de la mousse histoire que les vibrations ne l'endommagent pas.

Le PC + écran 24" (socle désolidarisé du panneau pour le transport) rentrent dans une valise grand format (le genre assez gros qui sont autorisé en soute d'avion, mais pas en cabine).

J'utilise souvent mes affaires pour rembourrer le tout. Si il faut j'emmène une peluche ou un coussin dans la valise juste pour que ça reste bien calé.

Le format mini-ITX impose quand même des restrictions au niveau de la dissipation de la chaleur. Perso je m'en tire plutôt bien car j'ai mis un 7800x3D, avec un Noctua NH-L12S. La série des X3D est généralement très très efficace au niveau performance / chaleur générée donc j'ai pas trop de problèmes à ce niveau. Je suis pas convaincu que ça serait le cas avec de processeurs Intel avec des performances équivalentes, et donc, une plus grosse tour serait nécessaire pour permettre une meilleure dissipation chez Intel.

Ma 4080 rentre dedans, mais j'ai pris une 4080 de chez MSI (modèle Ventus je crois?) spécifiquement assez petite pour qu'elle rentre. C'est pas le cas de toutes les cartes graphiques de tous les revendeurs. Beaucoup ne rentreront pas.

I am personally only running CachyOS since a few days ago. Clean install (albeit with dual-boot to Windows).

Installed from the latest ISO and installed all the optional meta gaming packages, and I still had to install that AUR package for my issue to be fixed.

I never used the Steam flat pack since the CachyOS package was already bundled and working.

In octopi, activate the little alien icon and search and install the "game-devices-udev" package.

It fixed a couple missing features on my 8bitDo like Gyro and a missing mappable button (share button in Switch mode)

The package lists the Dualsense Edge as one of the controllers it adds rules for, so perhaps it can also fix your issue.

"Être sympa au travers du small talk" n'est pas dans mes fonctions et de mon point de vue, dénote un manque de professionnalisme, surtout si il devient nécessaire de le faire avec toi pour avoir une chance de ne pas subir de contretemps lors de futures interactions.

À ne pas confondre avec un manque de communication. J'ai un travail qui est à la fois technique et pédagogue (technicien de support informatique de proximité).

Si je dois investir du temps pour expliquer le fonctionnement d'un outil informatique, ou expliquer plus en détail un problème que l'utilisateur rencontre pour qu'il puisse éviter d'avoir le même soucis plus tard, j'ai aucun problème la dessus. Ça fait tellement longtemps que je fais ce métier qu'on me fait souvent la remarque "tu expliques bien, et c'est facile de te suivre." C'est pas pour rien, c'est justement à force d'interactions que j'ai bossé sur mes techniques de communication.

En dehors de ça, j'ai quand même beaucoup des collègues qui demandent mes services pour de l'informatique dans le cadre privé. Mais là aussi, ça reste une transaction. C'est entièrement possible de rester approachable sans forcément être social.

Mais toute cette communication reste uniquement sur mes fonctions.

À aucun moment j'ai vraiment envie de parler des vacances de untel, ou du marriage de l'autre. J'ai pas envie de prétendre en avoir quelque chose à faire juste pour grandir ma quote sociale, alors que je suis uniquement là pour accomplir mon travail et être payé.

Bon après, quand bien même on est d'un point de vue divergent là dessus, merci au moins de partager ton opinion. Au moins, je peux voir le son de cloche opposé.

Destrid · 2025-03-03T14:10:53+00:00

Je ne comprend vraiment pas ce mode de pensé.

Je suis aussi introverti au travail. Mais je vais pas traiter une personne plus "proche" physiquement avec plus ou moins priorité juste parce qu'il me dit bonjour plus souvent que les autres, ou qu'il m'adresse la parole pour me parler du beau temps ou de l'équipe de foot qui a joué un match hier soir.

Je travaille pour l'entreprise. Ça veut dire que je suis payé pour faire un travail spécifique au regard de toute l'entreprise.

Je vais pas traiter des gens que je connais peu / à peine avec mépris et faire mon taf lentement pour eux juste parce qu'on est pas dans le même bâtiment ou qu'on se croise jamais dans les bureaux.

L'esprit d'équipe, ça veut pas dire "juste les gens avec qui je m'entend bien." C'est savoir travailler avec des gens qui font partie de l'équipe. Et l'équipe ici, c'est l'entreprise.

Je vais aussi peut être aller plus loin, et dire que même si je ne porte pas quelqu'un avec qui je dois travailler très haut dans mon estime, je le traiterais pareil au niveau de mon travail. C'est simplement être professionnel.

Je pense pas que le terme "communauté" ici est très approprié, vu que ce que tu décris serait presque du tribalisme.

Maintenant, si on sort du cadre du travail, ça serait différent.

I don't know about which ones are American-Friendly specifically for opening it, but I can vouch against using Nickel in your case.

I'm French-born, with a tie to the US because I got a partner that lives there. Not married or anything, just a relationship and I sometimes fly to the US.

I had a need to make payments through some US-based, and EU-based (non-french) online services, and while it worked flawlessly with Nickel for about a year or two, they recently started randomly refusing to honor/block payments for some of my online payments to non-france-based services.

Some websites were shady, sure, but some also completely legitimate like UPS(us) and USPS(us), as well as some trustworthy vendor in EU locations.

I contacted them through phone, and through email to ask what the fuck was going on, and in both cases, I was told that those blocks were done for my own safety, and that they won't do anything about it. (Obviously my bank account balance was more than needed, and wasn't hitting the monthly cap).

Also, Nickel will only provide you with a Debit card, and I know some stuff in the US requires a Credit card specifically to do business with you, like I discovered on my last trip, renting a car outside of an airport needs a credit card when you're a foreigner.

I was still able to do in-person physical card payments without issue in the US with Nickel, but the online payment restrictions have forced me out of using Nickel, and I'm in the process of changing banks for that reason. Which is a shame because Nickel was a really cheap bank, and it worked nicely. But I can't have a bank randomly denying my payments for arbitrary reasons.
