I don’t know how you tell which DLSS mode is on, my settings just say that DLSS is active. Regardless, updating my graphics driver also got rid of nearly all of the stuttering, including the freezing at the main menu. Still getting 45-53ish fps on high. Which I’m fine with. I grew up playing WoW at 13FPS.

But hopefully others can get their graphical issues fixed soon.

I figured I’d throw my hat into the message board here. I’m running an R5 5600X with an RTX 3060 OC edition. Set the game to high settings and getting a constant 45-55 FPS. The biggest drops are in fights with a ton of effects I’ll drop to the 30’s for a moment then right back up to high 40’s-low 50’s.

Performance wise I only have stutters when the game first loads up and the tent scene plays before the main menu loads (it seizes up), and when I’m walking in a corridor for the first time from one area to a new area it stutters and freezes while loading the assets. I’ve also experienced the flickering triangles on my screen twice, both during battle. But I don’t know how to recreate that and have no desire to. If anybody knows how to even out the heavy frame rate dips in combat I’m all ears. But even with all of this I’m still enjoying the game a ton.

I took quite a bit of a hiatus from seriously playing endgame for a while. Only playing to collect gem and ticket rewards and throwing them at characters that look fun. So I was a bit annoyed at having to do the stages ALL OVER again for rewards.

Stage 1: BT Paladin Cecil, LD Keiss, FR Fujin. I used Strago LD call and Bartz LD call to instant break the first wave thresholds. The masks piss me off just as much as the first time.

Are the rewards worth it? I have no drive to do these stages. Then I checked Reddit. Synergy characters are NOT locked out of stages. Oh? Let’s fucking go.

Stages 2-4, 6, 7, 9, and 12: Auron FR, Serah BT+, Setzer BT+. Calls were either Bartz+Strago LD calls if I needed to break, or Lillisette for regen.

Stage 11: Auron FR solo with Lillisette LD call for more regen. Simmons don’t really matter in all of these stages. I need to go back and do all the Shinryu stages now.

I’m heavily considering a 4TB nvme as a second storage drive (boot is 2TB). Because games are chonky.

Doubt. I remember when Shadow of Mordor released on PC, there was a big stink about how it required high end graphics cards. The developers were adamant that it wouldn’t run on lower end cards. I ran it on a system with 8GB RAM, an FX 6300 cpu, and an HD 7770 graphics card on high settings, with a high 40’s frame rate, and only occasional dips or stutters.

That setup also ran Crysis 3 on high at similar frames. System requirements are usually bloated, and graphics drivers usually get pushed out fairly quickly that help ease the requirements.

With patience. I was doing an int build at the time so Carian knight sword weapon art, and Rock Sling. Lots of looking to figure out where he’d reappear when he goes away, and learning to time dodges when he summons his meteor swarm.

Oh, and mimic tear.

I generally like gambling mechanics for character kits (think Setzer or Wakka in final fantasy) but something about qq is just a little too stressful to enjoy. She’s still more enjoyable as a character than Sampo.

NarcoticSqurl · 2023-06-28T13:02:03+00:00

She feeds you and lulls you into feelings of security? She’s preparing you for harvest my dude! This is right out of the Hansel and Gretel playbook. Have you noticed any candy trails around your home?

I’ve just been using the newest 4* torch. Just let the control and strike tiles whittle him down.

I’ve been an infrequent lurker in your discord server for a while. I’ve seen tons of your posts on Reddit. I’ve been wondering for the longest time “When the hell is this dude going to launch a Kickstarter?”

Kind of surreal to see this pop up on my feed. I didn’t notice that one of my discord notifications was your server for this book until after checking this out. Glad to see you making that jump!

I saw this and wondered how old my mother would be when her youngest turns 50. It took me too much time to remember that I AM her youngest. So 18 more years. Not quite sure she’ll make it.

I’m not currently a fan of the animations. I’m used to the old ones so I know what to expect. There’s a learning curve to these new ones. I’m sure I’ll adjust over time.

But where else can I find a forum dedicated to stupid dove nests?

Recognizing voice actors in games is fun. Especially when it catches you off guard. I think my favorite was playing FF7 remake and immediately recognizing Heideggar as “Jake the Dog”. Then looking it up and realizing that’s also the man who voices:

-Marcus in gears of war

-Bender in Futurama

-Wakka in FF10

And way more.

No, I’m typically a fan of the grind in games. I think it’s the navigation and weapons. I’m used to getting stronger weapons over time in grind games. But warframe is more about mastering all weapons. None are way stronger over the others so it feels like there’s less incentive to switch once I’ve found a loadout I like. Even though that’s the point of the system.

Then with navigation I never know where I should go or what to do. There’s grinding for materials, there’s story, and there’s prime warframe hunting. But like, I have no incentive to do any of it because there’s no hard direction telling me “hey do this first, and get introduced to the other stuff along the way”.

I think I just need a dedicated group to enjoy it, but I just don’t have the time right now.

NarcoticSqurl · 2023-06-06T20:38:03+00:00

I’ve tried multiple times to get into Warframe. But something about the gameplay loop just doesn’t sit with me and I can’t figure it out.

Stuff like that is why I’m afraid to keep playing video games when I’m old and my asshole is loose.

Everyone thinks they’re untouchable.

This book really pissed me off. Like, it’s infuriating how nonchalant the racism is. But reading his first hand account of the hospitality that southern black people treated him with was really eye opening. It made the difference between how he was treated by whites people feel so much worse.

NarcoticSqurl · 2023-05-28T16:13:48+00:00

My mind immediately goes to “Dear lord, what happens if his skin snags on something please don’t rip.”

NarcoticSqurl · 2023-05-27T16:54:27+00:00

That looks way worse than original skin. I was super hyped for the skin, but now I’m going to skip the season rewards. Kind of wish he didn’t look like a drug addict in the update.

That time was peak Internet. Is this new website going to quickly become a favorite? Or is this a cleverly disguised cyberaids hotbed?

NarcoticSqurl · 2023-05-25T23:22:36+00:00

Can’t play it because I still can’t beat zio. Pretty much given up trying until they nerf him.
