Some Unity games have this weird thing where they use 99% of my GPU. Apparently it's a bug with Unity, but those reports have been from 3 years ago so I dunno.

When frame rate is uncapped it's perfect that the GPU gets fully utilized. It means the game is GPU bound which is preferable to being CPU bound in most cases.

Rogue Legacy has weird jumping mechanics that never clicked with me and I bounced off of it hard. Something about it, can't quite put my finger on it. It wasn't like Dead Cells or Hollow Knight or any other recent(ish) sidescrolling platformers. It didn't feel fun to play.

At the time I liked it but in hindsight it was pretty poo poo so I'm curious if they are going to incorporate all the best practices that have been sussed out over the years Yeah, Rogue Legacy really sucked so I'm interested to see how they've improved on it, especially if they expand on the legacy aspect

Shipbreaker has been announced for PS4 and XBone, so I'm guessing it's got a lot of optimization coming in the future.

Thought I'd drop a review of the Swiftpoint Z mouse since its price seems to have dropped to $125 on Amazon. I've used one since the December sale and it's both the ugliest and most comfortable mouse I've used. The ugly flat left/right buttons are in reality very comfortable for your fingers to rest on with the wings on the sides for the thumb and ring finger also adding to the comfort. It feels good in my hand. The extra buttons - there are a lot! - are very usable as they've been very thoughtfully placed. There are only two thumb buttons which I find easier to control than having 6 or more. The two extra buttons near the index finger are easy to reach. There are 3 extra buttons for each of the left/right mouse buttons, one halfway up the main button and then a combo button that you can pull as a trigger and also button press with your top finger joint. It has other inputs I don't use so far: 4 of the buttons allow for deep click actions with a configurable force. There are also actions assignable to tilting the mouse. It can supposedly act as a full joystick. Comfortable or not, there's no point in getting one unless you plan to program it for games which is where its real strength lies. Here's an example from this weekend where I set up a new config for the Witcher 3 (trying out the W3EE mod):  This leaves most buttons as they are but remaps the top thumb button, the 2 edge buttons by the left mouse button, and the 3 extra buttons on each mouse finger. Draw steel/silver sword goes onto the 2 edge buttons while the 5 Witcher signs (Aard, etc) are distributed across the extra finger buttons. I sometimes fumble-finger the number row so they're nice to have on the mouse. The top thumb button shifts the entire mouse to a new profile as long as it is kept pressed:  Now the edge buttons enable/disable parts of Friendly HUD and the finger buttons are used for inventory, journal, map, meditation, etc. All are harder to reach keys on the right side of the keyboard. There's quite a bit you can do when programming it, including loops and key repeats. This is still very expensive for a mouse at $125. That high price is partly from a bunch of features that people may never use - the deep click feels a bit difficult to control to me, likewise for the tilt feature, and there's an OLED screen on the side of it that's only useful for debugging deep clicks in my experience. That said it's extremely comfortable to use and though it has a large number of buttons they're all thoughtfully placed. It offers a lot of programmability if you like that sort of thing, though the interface isn't the simplest. What would be great would be a slimmed down version that took away some of the extra features and dropped the price. In the meantime, this is still a very good, if expensive, gaming mouse. v1ld fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jun 23, 2020 |

Fargin Icehole posted:Cool. Rogue Legacy was fantastic, and I'd like to see the improvement on the formula I really enjoyed my time with Rogue Legacy and dare even say it was good then; however, big caveat is that I played it at launch and while it was not the first roguelite, but one of the ones that sort of started a metaprogression roguelite-type game writ-large in a more castlevania-esque type. It had some clunky movement/combat that wasn't good, merely serviceble, but most everything that's come after has vastly improved on both mechanics and controls. Games like UnderMine, Hades, Dead Cells, Synthetik, Immortal Redneck, etc, have vastly improved all-around on both a metaprogression and mechanical. I think people who tried RL well-after it's launch probably would have found it lackluster for that reason. I think RL2 could be really loving good and devs seem to be aware of where things could be a lot better. Xaris fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jun 23, 2020 |

I'm trying Bannerlord, and the tutorial doesn't, like, tutorialize anything, really. Like it kind of shows you how hitting guys works, and sort of explains that shields can block, and tells you what button makes the commands for troops appear, but doesn't tell you how to make money, or how the food works, or how to use skill points. It feels like they're assuming that I have played a tremendous amount of the last game and simply forgot which button on the mouse made the sword go. Is there a youtube guy or something that does a decent beginner's guide?

Focus points increase the amount of XP you get for each thing when you do the thing that increases that, which you can mouse over to see. You can choose one perk out of the two choices whenever you hit the appropriate level in each skill. None of these things except the money making were in the previous game. It's just poorly tutorialised. Relatively simple, but it throws all of that at you at once.

God drat it, something updated and I had to restart my computer and I couldn't get steam to start up, so I installed a new copy on a different drive and I forgot how loving much the new UI sucks. I gotta figure out how to open my modded steam on the other drive or maybe just fix it again so I can go back to the old UI.

TOOT BOOT posted:I could have sworn I heard it doesn't work anymore. There's always small mode which is the same as it ever was... I was using it just fine somehow before I had to restart my computer. I switched it back to the old UI (I don't remember how though) like either the very day or a couple days after the new UI came out and I was able to get steam to start after a restarting the computer a bunch of times. I can't remember the last time I restarted my computer though, so maybe something is different now. The loving UI change is so loving infuriating to me (and I guess a lot of people), but I had basically forgotten about it because I literally haven't used it since it was released.

So is the plot in Ace Combat 7 comprehensible if you are going into it totally fresh? From its name, I gather there are at least 6 games that have come before this one and I'm not sure if the plot in each game is self-contained or inter-linked.

There's really just two AC Strangereal (that's the alternate world) games that are closely connected, and that's 5 and Zero (incidentally the best two games in the series imo). You can kinda just jump in and let yourself be embraced by the weirdness.
