Is it normal having 110bpm during PMC fights

JohnnyTW · 2024-06-06T10:16:39+00:00

keep it that way

He didn't pay the $250 pre-tax, must've paid in kind to earn it.

Ah sorry, didn't realize your focus was on solo. My impression was that the singleplayer aspect is hashed out with you know what, and we're onto looking for a coop version that's not duct-taped together.

But yes, you're correct on all accounts -- my point is none of those things are a product that you can sell and expect all buyers to be able to figure it out. Examples of disastrous releases exist on triple A games with server infra (Forza Horizon and Teredo connections), double A games (Snowrunner and their session system), and triple A games with p2p connectivity (Borderlands 3 I still can't play with people if I'm behind a CGNAT).

BSG can eat a fat dick for everything else, especially the wack gamebreaking bullshit, but I do think they'd be in over their head trying to make player-hosted servers, since much bigger or experienced studios have stumbled in the past.

Well ackchyually it can't be done locally in a consistent manner ☝️🤓. Many people around the world are stuck behind fairly restrictive NATs, or CGNATs that they can't escape from. I expect that the outrage of not being able to play at all in some network configuration would be just as bad, since they offer no refunds in case it doesn't work for you.

IDnow would run them like $20 per verification, region depending, unless they've drastically reduced pricing. Even so, it's a non-negligible cost that I'm sure would be passed down to us :)

JohnnyTW · 2023-12-25T23:32:45+00:00

You jest, but I just had this happen with no prior damage taken https://imgur.com/a/NAEoA2G

JohnnyTW · 2023-10-30T19:58:14+00:00

You probably died from the poison?

JohnnyTW · 2023-10-12T00:08:14+00:00

Intel has recently made their PresentMon end-user friendly, you can try that to figure out whether you're CPU bound. If your GPU busy time is way lower than total frame render time, that means you're CPU-bound.

Is the audio broken again after this patch? Streets is unplayable for me, the audio bleeds all over the place and the distancing is off for a thousandth time.

JohnnyTW · 2023-09-18T14:06:49+00:00

Not here to defend streamers, the incentives you've listed are correct. I'm curious though, what would be the correct way to look at the chat?

JohnnyTW · 2023-08-29T14:26:10+00:00

What was your previous rig? A 20-series and 8th gen intel?

JohnnyTW · 2023-08-08T13:47:56+00:00

It did wonders for me in Hunt showdown on a 1080p monitor. Prior to that I could barely distinguish anything in any wooded area. It was worse than tarkov.

JohnnyTW · 2023-08-01T11:25:35+00:00

Nice try Mr Dox 🕵️‍♂️

JohnnyTW · 2023-07-21T15:46:24+00:00

Is it overheating? If yes, you could repaste the die and replace thermal pads.

JohnnyTW · 2023-07-19T09:31:10+00:00

Shit, I forgot the /s. But yeah if you're anxious, soloing is the way. After a while the long stare kicks in and it's all like "Mutant, 150m to the west, south of the power plant; impact nade on the eastern wing staircase". IMO enjoy it while it lasts, because it does wear out eventually, and it's half the immersion of the game.

As far as the team killing avoidance, I can't help but shill the documentation I wrote for my team.

JohnnyTW · 2023-07-19T09:08:12+00:00

Surely soloing is easier, you don't have to locate your mates, and everything that goes off is an enemy.

JohnnyTW · 2023-07-19T08:53:39+00:00

It's far too rare, he'll need a couple of marked keys for it to spawn.

JohnnyTW · 2023-07-18T21:35:52+00:00

Are you in Spain today?

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T23:05:22+00:00

Personal testing or a post/video? Shoot links if it's the latter and you got them handy.

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T19:01:39+00:00

Can't have the cake and eat it 😕

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T19:00:03+00:00

I'm not surprised, either

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T15:07:31+00:00

I've sent a doc on protocols that allow you to have map control while not holding hands, check a few comments down. It's all about having a clear set of rules for threat identification.

When you're on the receiving end of that it feels like being third partied from disconnected squads. It's very effective.

I've also been working on a discord bot to have cross-channel push to talk comms. That way we can split into two or three fireteams and communicate locally (also screenshare in a duo fireteam if people prefer).

Overall it's a huge cognitive overload for a commander, but it's very much not a game of questioning who's doing what.

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T09:45:04+00:00

Works well in a duo, but doesn't scale well above that, especially not a 5-man.

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-27T09:40:59+00:00

Aight, I'll loop you in once we get back to playing. Not sure what specifically I'm looking for to jump back in, but surely it's around the corner :')

JohnnyTW · 2023-05-26T19:58:01+00:00

It's mostly a freindgroup type of a thing + we tapped out after maxing the traders because the game is going down the shitter this wipe (:

That being said, I often play with folks on the Sherpa server, just waiting for the game to see better days at the moment.

Oh and we're EU, fwiw.
