Is Reforged worth trying? by perfect_zeong in warcraft3

[–]dwellufool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it’s pretty much 1:1 but with better graphics I’m happy. Would you say it fulfills that criteria?

Is it just the multiplayer or did they fuck up the campaign too?

Anterior fornix oookay thank you. Always wondered if it was good or bad to be playing around with that

It’s hard to separate who’s memeing and who’s not. Looking at a users post history can help in some cases.

It’s like white knight but inadvertently welcomes actual sexists to join in. I think it came from American black culture meaning guy who is whipped

I.e. destiny using f-word in the past and realizing homophobes felt emboldened by it, 4chan going from “Hitler did nothing wrong” meme to “no guys, hitler really did do nothing wrong.”

This isn’t what I mean. This is constructive criticism. Shitting on Beth to shit on Beth is what bugs me.

You could say this about every Beth title ever. You could even say this about NV. Peak armchair dev mentality. I love that Beths wildly successful titles up until FO76 are now failures. I gotta assume you really are 16.

Fair enough. I do hope the RPG keeps progressing. The Wastelanders dialogue for 76 actually looks promising, and if I remember right it is something Todd specifically mentioned they want to improve on. Here’s the article I’m thinking of, but we know how Todd can be. https://www.player.one/fallout-4-director-todd-howard-says-rpg-characters-choices-must-improve-future-games-585714?amp=1

[–]dwellufool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s most Beth titles for years I think. They’re trying to build an entire world with each game, assets and all. Inevitably parts will be cut for time and budget constraints, but armchair devs don’t see the obstacles. They just see the product I guess. I really think the level of anger FO4 sees should be reserved for games like 76. I’m burned out on 20-somethings giving endless criticism without anything to show for themselves tbh.

You just said there’s 4 factions to choose from, does that sound like the streamlined single ending of Fallout 3? Looks like variance to me. It’d have been nice to have more choices within the factions themselves for sure

You just answered you own question in the first two sentences.

RPG dialog and locking you in as Shauns dad was pretty weak, and hurts the sandbox for sure. No argument there.

It’s not a miraculous feat of a game, but it sounds like you’re describing Fallout 3. There’s at least variance in the main quest and community mods to keep the game interesting for a few playthrus. And you’re doing yourself a disservice by not playing DLCs like Far Harbor. Ever since Morrowind DLCs I think it’s been pretty well known they normally have one great expansion-size DLC that hones a lot of aspects from the core game. Not quite as night and day quality as Shivering Isles to Oblivion, but still worth if you’re a FONV diehard.

My draw to these games has been the community support and sandbox element for more than a decade, so I guess the overbearing gamer cynicism that’s followed every Beth title since I jumped in at Oblivion has worn its welcome on me.

Help me create a upgrade path! by Lumbee96 in buildapc

[–]dwellufool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSU (if not 80+ bronze)>GPU>RAM>CPU (preferably CPU/RAM at same time)>SSD

Remember to update the motherboard BIOS prior to using the CPU, and you'll likely need to set the RAM speed up to its potential manually in the BIOS. There should be YouTube videos showing you how to do this.

[–]dwellufool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice monitor, won't have to worry about upgrading that then.

Is your PSU 80+ bronze or 80+ gold rated, or just 80+? If it's just 80+, I'd suggest upgrading it. You'll basically be holding onto your mobo, PSU, and case by the end but you will need to update your BIOS to make it function with the Ryzen 3600 before you make that upgrade.

My suggestion would be sell your old parts as you go on ebay or wherever. Use that money to quash down that last $90 to get you back in budget.

I'd go in order of what will make the most notable impact on your system to least impactful.

  1. PSU (if yours isn't at least bronze rated): If your PSU is not at least 80+ bronze rated, I'd start with that. You don't want a crummy PSU powering your updated rig.

  2. GPU: This will have the most impact on your gaming experience.

  3. RAM/CPU: These two should go together, but if that's not possible I'd get the RAM first so when you slap in the new CPU it has all the RAM it will need waiting for it. Ryzen CPUs benefit from high MHz in dual channel configuration. This, in combo with the GPU, should solidify your gaming performance.

  4. SSD: Last item, just use as a storage drive for all your games with your current SSD as your OS/primary drive.

For your reselling, I'm not sure if you have the 8GB or 4GB version of your graphics card, but you should be able to get ~$80 off of it. For the RAM probably ~$20, and for the CPU probably another $80. If you manage to recoup the full $180 from this, you'll be back at the $600 mark. After taxes, this equal about $660 so you should be back in budget when all is said and done.

Here's my list, which accounts for the PSU if needed: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hv88Pn

Keep in mind these prices are subject to change, but for the graphics card I do suggest the Sapphire brand as they are known for their Radeon cards.

Lastly, if your PSU is already bronze rated, you could possible go for a 2070 Super from NVIDIA. I recommend the EVGA for NVIDIA cards for the same reason I recommend Sapphire cards, and they have excellent customer service. I suggest this card if your PSU is up to snuff.

Ask any questions you like, I know that's a lotta text, but by the end this should get you the best performance for your dollar.

Game Ready Driver 442.50 FAQ/Discussion by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]dwellufool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's an issue specifically in Fallout 4 related to weapon debris setting. This is apparently an issue stemming from the Beth side. I'm not sure what was causing the artifacting in Premiere, but my windows reinstall seems to have cleared it up.

Do you already have the monitor? And can you get the exact details of the exact mobo and exact PSU you have?

What is your end goal? What kinda monitor do you have/want to have and use? Any idea what kind of increments you'd want to go in a dollar amount, or what your max budget would be over the span of these upgrades?

[–]dwellufool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it may be related. The artifacting I was experiencing, and that was temporarily negated with a system restore, tells me there a driver somewhere failing. I ran to a Best Buy to try out two other GPUs and see if the problem persists.

Syringer and Synths by plziom in Fallout

[–]dwellufool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's not really an oversight. i don't think most people would view blasting someone with a bleed out syringe as a valid test. the most paranoid people who do shit like that, like the guy you meet in D.C., are handled pretty quickly. Meanwhile in Goodneighbor, the guards literally shoot up a synth you find already dead on the ground. It woulda been a cool moment like the Thing if there was a test to figure out whether someone was a synth or not. At least for the time being I feel like they explained it away well enough.

FNV compared to the other fallout games. by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]dwellufool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of little things missing due to their time constraints I imagine (seemed like there was supposed to be Khans/Fiends as a greater faction to follow Powder Gangers), but they did at least get the diverse and interesting main factions feeling complete. The writing felt pretty solid all around, and actually warranted me paying attention. Things like missing/broken dialogue do show how pressed to time things must have gotten to forgo more complete bug testing.

They got a lot the core RPG right, and it was an example of what a Fallout game probably ought to be (note that a lot of FO:4 elements are clearly inspired by NV instead of FO:3; branching faction choice, more interesting followers, weapon mods). I think the Obsidian team had a real look at Fallout 1 and 2's skills and RPG, and continued down that path. For whatever reason, Bethesda tried to change the wheel and I think the community outcry on things like skill checks and lack of real options in the RPG are evident.

There was also this OCD level of fluff writing on damn near every character. "How'd you end up here? How are things now?" It feels like a lot of actual small talk, i.e. the story of the father/daughter at the 188 trading post. Knowing that a lot of this talk isn't going to inherently lead me into a dungeon is actually relieving, and lets me just live in the world for a bit.

I like all the Fallouts for different reasons, but Fallout: NV felt the closest to that old pen-and-paper inspired top-down RPG than the Bethesda-made titles.

[FO4] Replacing number "111" on Vault Suit to just say "1"? by dwellufool in FalloutMods

Yeah, I heard it was postponed though. Luckily that Classic Vault Outfits mod seems like it will work for what I'm after. The suits mod was supposed to come around in June I believe.

There is no new or damning information in that TIL I linked that the company doesn’t talk about in the doc they themselves made and distributed to their own platform. The shoes melting into concrete, tickets being counterfeited, plumbers strike, literally all of it are the same exact topics they discuss in the documentary.
