According to the SSA there are a couple dozen men in the USA named Sephiroth, most of them in their early 20s

there are no finnish sephiroths or gokus, but there are "fewer than five" tarzans. i'd think there's just the one.

does Finland also have a book with approved names you can name your kid?

I think a few countries don’t have that but will take your kid if you name them Sæphiroth the Mighty or whatever, but I could be mistaken

if you never played sekiro def check it out its arguably their best game.

be prepared to get wrecked though its also objectively the hardest

the only other one i played was dark souls 1 which i bounced-off due to the whole tedious nature of the game (i don't mind the difficulty but having to walk >10 minutes to retry a boss is some dumb bullshit). i'd love to play Bloodborne but alas i don't have a console so Sekiro is my next best bet.

unless someone can convince me to try DS2/3, do they have the same tedious bs as DS1?

check out Dark Souls 3, you dont really need to play any of the others and its definitely the "tightest" of the trilogy (much more similar to the elden ring experience), its my personal favorite but opinions vary wildly on the trilogy.

based on the tick rate video im gonna guess it's 128 ticks but also includes fighting game-style rollback code

mfers think they're gonna eliminate peek advantage without actually saying it. Riot already tried that with Valorant and ended up admitting defeat.

ngl im really excited about cs 2, havemt played cs in prolly 10-15 years but every other competitive shooter is a dog turd lately.

also the finals the beta has been fun, though i wish anyone i knew was in it


i was one of the few brain damaged people actually enjoying bf2042 at launch but im just so sick of it now, they've ruined that franchise for me

they're calling it "tickless" which is obviously not a thing in the litterrall sense, but maybe tick rate wont be as important if subticks can be handled at super high resolution.

[in Russian] Oof.


my guess as to the implementation of the tick rate is 128 ticks but also each packet sent to the server includes precise timestamps for various events (bullet fired, etc) and the server automatically rectifies the game state--hence me drawing the comparison to fighting game rollback netcode

tick rate though is unexciting, check out those :pcgaming: server-side volumetric smoke grenades :pcgaming:

CS peaked at 1.3. also fyi CS is actually contributing to people developing gambling addictions thanks to the skin economy and permissive Steam API:

Honestly it's probably better that UT 2017 was abandoned and is now dead. Epic wouldn't have been able to resist putting in loot boxes and micro transactions and hats and grinding and unlocks and a battle royale mode and it would be nothing like the good old days.

Games don't even let you host your own server anymore. It's loving dumb

i havent played in a while either, but it is far and away the best battle royale and feels so freaking good.

deadgame BF2042 keeps trying to trick players into trying it by claiming they're fixing it to be more like an actual BF game but it still has characters and still doesnt have dedicated servers
