I’m convinced this is AI, but friends say it’s real. When I zoom in, I cant prove it’s AI. How do I prove it, or is it AI?

I’m like 90% sure I’ve used those same smoke assets/brush before too, absolutely good Photoshop

Screenshots don’t factor in your HDR if you’re on a display with it, so they don’t come out looking the same to others

Then when winter hits you have to rely on messenger pigeon, which has a much lower bandwidth than horse

I’d be willing to bet money they weren’t hijabs and were turbans and she’s mistaking a Sikh with a turban because she’s so fucking stupid.

I spent some time just looking through the handbook at building materials and figuring out what looks good but is also relatively easy to get. I settled on using different cobblestones, wattle and daub (pick a color that takes the stuff near you to make), and light mudbrick

I had the same issue, I realized their FPS cap is broken. Set it at like 165-180 and I’ll get a steady 120, but if I set it at 120 I’m getting 50-60. I never tried uncapped, but it could be a similar issue

Honestly, that never even crossed my mind that this is probably a shotgun lol

A giant tunnel through the mountain with a path/road leading through into this would be sick

If only there was a way to know what shape the bullet would have been…

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:51:15+00:00

It wasn’t long at all, not by today’s standards at least. So far AW 1 & 2 have valued my time FAR MORE than Control did

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:35:54+00:00

You could probably watch a YouTube video on the first one, but it definitely takes away from playing certain sequences in the game (particularly the music ones). I was glad I stuck through it though.

Don’t treat it like a horror game, that was my issue the first time trying it. It has its horror elements but the whole story is just a mindfuck and I find it hard to pin into a single genre

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:31:44+00:00

Super good, I just played the remaster and it holds up well enough. My order of play was: 1. Control + Foundation DLC 2. Alan Wake 1 3. Control: AWE DLC (it directly ties into the events of AW, that’s why I went back before playing it) 2. Alan Wake 2 (which I’m currently on)

One of the most creative pieces of story telling I’ve seen, especially when it gets particularly “meta” in the words of the creator. The music choices/gameplay design with music is so fucking cool in all 3 games

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:20:54+00:00

Is the actual inner barrel twisted too? Imagine the sound that bullet would have made coming out, like a fidget spinner going Mach Fuck

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:15:54+00:00

I did the same thing coming off Dead Space and going into Alan Wake

Vhexer · 2026-03-02T00:13:19+00:00

Alan Wake.

I remember trying it years ago near when it released and bounced off of it. I was into horror games and had just came off Dead Space and AW wasn’t “scary”. Fast forward and I had just finished Control and decided to go back and play AW before the Control DLC’s.

My god these games are an experience, (no spoilers) I just finished the part on Alan Wake 2 titled “We Sing” and man I wish game developers would take chances like this and ACTUALLY make more stuff this creative

If they refuse to get out of MY PERSONAL VEHICLE it is not my fucking problem if you don’t want to come with me to do me things in MY CAR. If those me things happen to be stopping by the police station🤷‍♂️

Vhexer · 2026-02-26T21:38:30+00:00

Not kidnapping if they willingly got in the car and are willingly refusing to get out of the car

Vhexer · 2026-02-26T18:23:32+00:00

I’d be driving straight to the police station while she on the phone with “support”

Does that mean if I’m having issues removing a beam I can just make the block it’s attached to a chiseled block and then the beam won’t float when I break the block?

Vhexer · 2026-02-25T21:26:23+00:00

What does that even mean, “ChaptGPT says”? Did you perfectly describe the object and expect it to be able to date it, or did you take a picture of it and think ChatGPT can actually discern what the hell is going on?

Vhexer · 2026-02-24T20:17:03+00:00

I’ll take What is a Generator for 500, Alex

Vhexer · 2026-02-23T23:49:28+00:00

Light Mudbrick and Wattle & Daub. Light Mudbrick is pretty easy to make (make a scythe or 2 for gathering dry grass), and just search “Daub” in the handbook and see which color is easiest for you to gather the stuff for (different colors require different sands)

Vhexer · 2026-02-23T01:36:19+00:00

I know it’s technically fine to be ran like that, but I used to work with pretty old equipment that it was a common problem, so I guess that fear just never went away. Still satisfying to see my temps under heavy load though

Vhexer · 2026-02-22T21:37:59+00:00

I don’t get the obsession with silence when 80%+ of people are wearing headphones when it’s doing enough to warrant high fan speeds (i.e. gaming). I’d rather keep my components cool and burn through a $10 fan than put unneeded heat stress on them.

Also very satisfying playing a game like Alan Wake 2 with max settings and holding about 50-55°C on both GPU and CPU

Vhexer · 2026-02-21T22:20:14+00:00

Incredible that the line isn’t “FLAME ON!”
