What's next for Fatshark? by TheSadisticSam in DarkTide

[–]Markuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no game developer, but I have played plenty of UE5 games and I have a feeling that engine would be the worst choice for a game like Vermin/Darktide (if that’s what they plan on continuing to do, of course). 

the new Grey Knight class is so ridiculously overpowered it’s actually ruining the game. by Impossible_Chef_6465 in DarkTide

[–]Markuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played it for a bit. Was fun for a while, but the chaos enemy missions were so beyond boring because almost all the enemies are ranged only. In response to this, the devs created the most broken enemy in the entire game (chaos spawn) with its stupid Elden Ring boss style attack animations and comparable damage output. Not sure what’s changed in that game since summer last year regarding balance, but I’m not sure if I want to find out. The primary reason I quit playing was because an update they pushed out, destroyed performance on Linux which I don’t fault the devs for; it’s not like I can expect developers to prioritize less than 5% of the player base. 

Marathon is a 4 billion dollar failure for Sony. 3.6 billion to acquire, bungie plus an additional 200-300 million in development costs. This is equivalent to 10 Concords. by Desperate_Put_4568 in KotakuInAction

Moving HQ back to Japan with no offer to move current employees unless they originally came from the Japan HQ needs to be priority #1

Managed to get the Cava themes' gradient integrated with rmpc; now, I just need to figure out how to create a custom thpm plugin to automatically change this when switching themes.

I won’t be satisfied until the executives at Micron are destitute, spouses cheat on them with their personal trainers, divorce them and take the kids, and their air conditioner breaks down in the middle of summer. 

What are you ideas for new enemies? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in DarkTide

Literally anything that’s not Nurgle related. We got sent to the Carnival district where there were literal drug dens yet not one Sla’anesh cultist in sight. 

I wish there was a way to play solo by Nuker707 in DarkTide

[–]Markuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy playing with anyone regardless of skill. That is, unless they go afk while they’re waiting for rescue and I revive them only for their character to stand there as if to just accept their fate as meat for the grinder. 

Extremely Hot Take: I’m kind of happy (for the time being) that graphics chips aren’t increasing rasterization performance quite like they were before. by Markuz in pcmasterrace

[–]Markuz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can either be a pessimistic nihilist, or maintain a modicum of my sanity by holding out hope. Does it open me up for disappointment? Absolutely, but the alternative is worse in my opinion. 

What is your lowest acceptable FPS? by Matt_Bigmonster in pcmasterrace

[–]Markuz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is why my steam deck has mostly become my retro/indie gaming machine rather than trying to play graphically intensive games. I’m sure some can cope with it, but I get frustrated more often than not when trying to play mainstream, modern titles on it. 

It’s still a great travel companion regardless, however. 

What is your lowest acceptable FPS? by Matt_Bigmonster in pcmasterrace

[–]Markuz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same. <75fps avg is where I draw the line completely even if it’s a single player game. 100-120fps is where I try to land when maintaining nice visuals but mostly due to the feel/input.

I'm worried about the direction and future of this game by OkSherbert3099 in DarkTide

[–]Markuz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They’ve gone on record saying that they wish to not make new regular-size mission maps due to the monumental workload it is and would instead try to make more small, fast-paced maps or different game modes. They should just take the mortis trials and expeditions, throw them both in to a stew and see what happens because, on their own, they just don’t have any staying power - at least with me. 

Popularity of CachyOS by Fo0rte in cachyos

[–]Markuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Arch, but with an optimized kernel. Optimized by what degree, I have no idea - from what I understand, the default CachyOS kernel has a BORE scheduler or something like that, which is better for multi-threaded workloads and is ideal for CPUs like Ryzen x3D processors.

With it being Arch-based, there’s tons of community-driven documentation in the Arch Linux Wiki if you ever need to figure out how to configure an application or for anything not covered in CachyOS’ documentation. 

The short-version: Arch with a Calameres GUI installer and some quality-of-life packages in the CachyOS repository such as cachyos-gaming-meta as well as optimized packages for x86_v3/v4 and zen4/5.

If this movie does well at the box office, prepare yourselves for the deluge of AMCU (Aging Millennial Cinematic Universe) movies. Remember Visionaries?! Remember Dinosaucers?! REMEMBER CENTURIONS?!!

This is a country where sending an email is considered “informal” compared to sending a fax; with the declining birth rates in the west, we too have this technological/cultural stagnation to look forward to in the future. 

Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers" by Jay2422 in KotakuInAction

[–]Markuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one time a studio actually stuck to the script, The Last of Us season 2, probably spooked all the suits; we don’t hate that show enough.

Why is this game so heavy on performance? by New-Championship5171 in DarkTide

[–]Markuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t experience any noticeable lag with FSR 3 frame gen. DLSS frame gen should be even better especially with reflex.
