gingerale: there's a problem with name casing in weelichat. make sure to rejoin stevenchan.
18:01:37
gingerale
Ah, thanks. I just left STevenchan
18:02:17
shinmera
you were never in it. they're the same to the server
18:02:21
shinmera
it's just a client issue.
18:03:27
gingerale
I'll also need to get more tissues tomorrow.
18:05:04
gingerale
shinmera: Get all stuff
18:07:11
gingerale
shinmera: It's been 84 years.
18:07:44
gingerale
shinmera: Yeah, the game's still rather loud. Or maybe it's just the helicopter.
18:08:57
gingerale
shinmera: Don't forget to try bombs

shinmera: [french] Engin ruiné
18:18:08
gingerale
shinmera: Could it have improved since?
18:20:50
Drakonnus
didnt join earlier because it was asking for a password lol
18:21:43
Drakonnus
hmm, not that i know!
18:22:45
gingerale
shinmera: I haven't got this far yet
18:22:45
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] i have not encountered a single bug so far
18:23:25
PincerAttack
Did you mean gingy or me?
18:23:40
Drakonnus
oh i know where this is
18:24:16
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] i am using a different voice on purpose and you still can't tell. shameful
18:25:53
Drakonnus
i should go get death stranding one of these days
18:26:04
Drakonnus
it is shameful living to not own kojima's next masterpiece
18:26:45
Drakonnus
do you have the echolocation ability unlocked?
18:27:20
Drakonnus
its in the left shoulder button i think?
18:27:26
Drakonnus
been a while since i've last played mgs5
18:28:52
gingerale
shinmera: It's the final countdown..
18:28:56
Drakonnus
there's bullet drop lol.
18:29:32
Drakonnus
[en] there's bullet drop, aim higher
18:30:01
Drakonnus
hmm, tts only works if quote eh?
18:30:09
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] you underestimate the boss' reinforced knees
18:30:59
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] well sneaked
18:31:54
Drakonnus
shinmera: call in the cavalry!
18:34:32
gingerale
shinmera: You'll have to have a talk with your team
18:35:04
PincerAttack
Why was this one different?
18:35:34
Drakonnus
shinmera: [en_uk] video games are weird
18:39:45
gingerale
shinmera: :why bother:
18:40:17
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] :good:
18:41:00
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] didn't think you would want to play it again
18:41:31
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] hopefully i won't miss it the next time then
18:42:17
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] you have people to share your knowledge with now
18:46:18
Drakonnus
smoke some weed to pass time
18:46:39
Drakonnus
i wish time passed that fast while smoking some bong
18:47:47
Drakonnus
so a kojima thing, if you put your music on loudspeaker, it draws attention
18:48:25
Drakonnus
lmaooo, i love the attention to details
18:49:34
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] they must be used to it
18:49:37
gingerale
shinmera: I wonder who they got to record it.
18:49:51
Drakonnus
scope creep you see, is a valuable part of software dev
18:50:55
Drakonnus
also headshots instantly get people to sleep, if you do body shots, they'll drop some time later
18:51:16
Drakonnus
i'm basically remembering all of my mgs5 factoids in this stream
18:52:33
gingerale
shinmera: Should've punched the decoy.
18:52:53
Drakonnus
practice makes perfect eh?
18:54:22
Drakonnus
i figure the special tapes weren't a big deal to add into the game other than getting the audio to sound exactly as they wanted
18:54:36
Drakonnus
i'd probably get cancer from eating one
18:56:30
Drakonnus
mgs5 feels like there's a lot of stuff they couldnt fully realize
18:56:38
Drakonnus
like there's a really limited amount of places you can climb walls
18:56:49
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] still crazy they implemented realistic ice melting physics in MGS2
18:57:59
PincerAttack
shinmera: [en_au] i assumed that was hard for one person to do alone
18:58:24
Drakonnus
breath of the wild plus mgs5 would've made a fantastic game
18:58:53
gingerale
shinmera: What was special about the ice cubes? I thought the ice cube model simply shrank over time.
18:59:14
gingerale
shinmera: Oh, that's really cool
18:59:23
PincerAttack
i wonder how amazing graphics could've been back then if they weren't held back by the console
19:01:18
PincerAttack
I always blurt out something that makes me sound ignorant huh
19:01:31
PincerAttack
But thanks for the explanation
19:01:59
Drakonnus
basically, the big deal about consoles is that the hardware is frozen for the generation
19:02:19
Drakonnus
so it enables learning the ins and outs of working with hardware
19:02:53
Drakonnus
pc has a different situation instead, you learn how to optimize for the ISA but not for specific hardware
19:03:46
Drakonnus
they usually get nvidia or amd to help out i think?
19:04:49
Drakonnus
nvidia does a ton of "game ready" drivers
19:05:09
Drakonnus
but nvidia also engages in optimizing for the newest hardware at the detriment of older ones
19:05:14
Drakonnus
its terrible honestly
19:05:28
Drakonnus
i've noticed that my gpu is getting slower with time as i update my drivers
19:05:56
Drakonnus
i did that mistake in 2014, i'm going to get amd next
19:06:25
Drakonnus
the UK and EU are blocking the buy out i think
19:07:53
Drakonnus
one thing i should point out here is that if nvidia manages to coerce them into allowing the buyout, it'll force risc-v into the forefront
19:08:04
gingerale
Are graphics cards still overpriced?
19:08:32
Drakonnus
sadly still overpriced because of cryptocoins
19:08:41
Drakonnus
(cryptocoins are not cryptography)
19:09:17
Drakonnus
it doesnt help that there's a semiconductor shortage too
19:09:22
Drakonnus
so the prices have skyrocketed
19:09:37
Drakonnus
and now the cryptocoin people have their eyes on storage too
19:09:49
Drakonnus
so the prices for ssds will skyrocket as well
19:11:27
Drakonnus
nvidia was trying to block mining crypto with their gpus but its bringing in side effects like slowing down other workloads
19:12:45
Drakonnus
they're going to find a way around the hardware block
19:12:58
Drakonnus
it sounds like it came from management
19:13:27
Drakonnus
like, nvidia's shortsighted decisions are usually caused by management
