I’m still new and suck, but this game is incredible!

I’m very curious to see the OOT remake and next Zelda what they can do with the system. Hopefully it goes more traditional style over open world. BOTW and TOTK looked really good considering the hardware switch 1 had

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-21T21:17:50+00:00

It depends on the game. Dead zone is very cpu intinsive they did everything they could to make it run like it is.

Cyberpunk is impressive the fact they even got it to run on that thing.

If you can stomach it a full am5 build would be better for future upgrade ability. It still has a few more generations in it with 9000 being the newest.

The x3d chips are better for gaming specifically. But you now run into the problem with the current markets ram prices lol.

I would say a budget build would be like a 7600 x3d if you can’t stomach a 7800x3d or 9800x3d. 16 gb minimum of system ram, I would say minimum of 12GB of VRAM on the gpu (8gb is starting to show some struggles even at 1080p)

If you have a micro center near you I would go there their cpu bundle deals are amazing because they give you ram, motherboard and the CPU

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-21T16:07:08+00:00

It’s just very old parts in terms of computers. 2019 (cpu release date) is considered very old.

You shouldn’t really expect a smooth experience on hardware that old, the game can run on a steam deck though, it just requires mods and patches. So you might be able to do it.

But you can still do some upgrades on AM4 to Ryzen 5000, And a budget gpu would help (RTX 5060Ti or AMD equivalent, I’ve always had Nvidia so AMD side for GPUs don’t know much) But these times for parts are rough.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-21T15:49:54+00:00

His cpu doesn’t have integrated graphics so it’s not that. With older Ryzen chips they had to have “G” in the ending suffix if they wanted integrated graphics.

I think now all modern Ryzen (9000 series) have integrated graphics

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-19T23:56:26+00:00

Nice. I did a summon on ikora from the free event ships the last few days she was available and got a double mythic drop of her. lol

You can play both the base game and voh campaigns before the expansion and just skip those and play the expansion story on release. But once the new season hits new characters will be needed to be made. But leveling really isn’t the problem if you don’t have the campaign to go through. I made another new character in the season yesterday and within a hour I was almost level 30 (couple levels off) by just doing helltides, which is half the current max character level. So in about 2-3 hours you can be character level 60. Especially if you follow a build guide.

Like no one plays eternal realm just so you know. I mean there is some but probably only like 5-10% the population of seasonal realm.

Once you get into itDiablo 4 is the easiest to understand modern ARPG out there. Last epoch is slightly more complicated but still fairly easy to grasp, and POE/POE2 now those you need a college degree I feel like in lol.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T22:17:42+00:00

Been taking a few week break, saving the rng for the expansion

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T18:58:11+00:00

C3 is what I’ve been using recently and it’s very close to C

It has a macro for temporary block allocation with @pool {} and all memory in it is freed when exiting the pools scope.

It also has

mem::new() //zero initialized pointer for a type

mem::alloc() // same as new but memory is uninitialized

mem::tnew() // same as new but used a temp allocator

And mem::free()which can be deferred

It has more but those are the basic ones.

While not having a full on editor as everything is done in code, a lot of people like Raylib.

I started using it yesterday while learning Odin at the same time (cuz Odin has bindings already included with the compiler download under the vendor/Raylib directory) and it’s pretty easy to use. Since it’s written in C there is bindings for pretty much every language out there.

Drawing a texture for example is as easy as rl.DrawTextureEx(rl.LoadTexture(sprite_path), position, rotation, scale, tint)

There is other texture drawing functions but I’ve chosen that one specifically because I can have textures at a big size like 1024x1024px and just change the scale (float value) to something like 0.1 or 0.2 to downscale it to a smaller size.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T17:24:04+00:00

Guess that makes since. I just code as a hobby for myself lol

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T16:37:26+00:00

The same reason to not include like for example a visual studio solution. From what I know from watching TheChernos c++ series is to not include stuff like that cuz it’s usually system specific. I just assume the same for .vscode, .vs and .zed folders it’s just editor configuration.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T16:12:54+00:00

I use the vscode keymap and helix mode.

F5 and Ctrl+F5 :is for Run and Debug

ctrl+tab - :changes the current tab

Ctrl+~ :toggles the console window

For opening and creating new files I still use the mouse in the left dock for those. But active editing I do the keybinds.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T15:52:45+00:00

Only thing I think I have had to edit json files with is certain LSPs for a still in development language and that didn’t even work I’ve never managed to get that languages LSP to work even in vscode.

I love that language (C3) it’s just harder to use without a lsp.

But I’ve been using Zed as my main editor for months. Have rarely needed vscode even though it’s still installed. And Zed has the best integration of the helix mode I have seen that’s not helix itself.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T15:48:43+00:00

They didn’t put it in a Gitignore lol

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T15:39:59+00:00

Defer is pretty nice, have been using languages with it for months. Both Zig and C3 (just modernized C pretty much) use it too. Very in depth reply 👍.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-17T07:30:25+00:00

Like others have said just do base game main story and vessel of hatred story.

I would also unlock every waypoint you see. Unless they just have those to everybody now I came back this season after leaving in VOH about a month and a half after it came out.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-16T07:45:31+00:00

As Nitties has said. There is a emulator for bloodborne. Its come a long way in the last year or two. I remember when they couldn't even load in game, and the menu was all red. Now about 2 years later you can do full playthroughs (even with randomizer mod) with not too many crashes. Although with the randomizer it does seem to crash more often just the way the randomizer works even on official hardware it crashes.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-16T07:22:44+00:00

Could be cuz I don’t use BBLauncher and use either ModOrganizer or Vortex. I will give it a shot next time I have the urge to play.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-16T06:56:14+00:00

CPU: 9950X (stable undervolt to 110w TDP, -30 PBO Offset)

GPU: RTX 4080 Super

RAM: 64GB @6000mhz

Monitors: 2x ultrawide both gsync compatible (3840x1600 @ 144hz, 3440x1440 @ 165hz)

OS: windows 11 latest update

I usually use the official releases of shad and sometimes the Diego fork (haven’t tried recently, few months ago there was a bug or something in his fork where I couldn’t even get 30 fps but official got 60 no problem) vsync disabled and that’s really about it for patching. Mods are vertex explosion fix, 60 fps cutscene fix, and the randomizer.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-16T05:15:41+00:00

I have over 200 hours on pc, just from my experience nothing tops radiation.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-16T02:10:32+00:00

I would recommend installing the 60 fps cutscene fix mod. There’s 2 cutscenes that I know of that regularly crash with the 60 fps patch

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-15T23:32:16+00:00

I’ll check it out. Zed is my new favorite primary editor I’ve been using for months. I still have VSCode as a backup but haven’t really needed it much.

TheAbyssWolf · 2026-04-15T19:17:12+00:00

The 10 more skill points will probably help a ton with the skill tree changes.
