Spicy attrition was one of the custom playlists they’d rotate through. Everyone had their grenades replaced with Ticks. It was pretty fun. One of the other ones was everyone had grapple in addition to any other tactical ability I think

oh lmao completely misunderstood some reddit chatter yesterday about that then.

I saw the subreddit as well. They were saying that the custom playlist got swapped to spicy attrition, first time it’s changed in years. I can’t remember what it was previously but it wasn’t anything special, just a specific map or something.

Anyone tried the new Might & Magic Clash of Heroes definitive edition? I was super stoked but it's getting murdered in the reviews which is a huge bummer.

The anger in the reviews seems to be largely directed at the business practices involved. It's basically the same game as Clash of Heroes (vanilla), with the Villains DLC included (which was MP only) and one (1) new Hero added (for MP only), and some new art (that replaces the old with no way to, say, toggle the old portaits). The previous version of the game had its support ended and online multiplayer shut down, and anybody who owned it who wants to play online multiplayer again has to buy the new version. It is otherwise still the same game and gameplay, so there shouldn't really be anything wrong with its playability per se.

Some goon I added on Steam is playing Rule the Waves 3 right now and I thought it was the cool 3D game where you make your own ships in a cartoony fashion with a million guns and have the ability to dodge roll, but that wasn't the game I had in mind because for reference Rule The Waves looks like this:




I respect this goon and the devs that make games like this. It makes Hearts of Iron 4 look like a Sony over the shoulder narrative action game in comparison.

Runs fine for me on a 3060 on 1080p mostly High settings except for a small handful of areas and, weirdly enough, a noticeably long stutter whenever I go into/out of a menu.

Not even getting stable 60 fps on a 3060 running at 1114x626 resolution is not what I would personally call "runs fine".

I mean, it doesn't look like 1114x626 or whatever, it just looks like 1080p to me and it runs at a solid 60 except for very rare occasions besides the menu thing (so far only this one grove that had a lot of particle effects going on). I dunno DLSS always just looks fine to me I guess.

At that low of a resolution you start getting horrible disocclusion artifacts and general loss of detail. The game already doesn't look particularly great either.

Although I suppose, why the gently caress would you bother optimizing your game, which takes time and effort, when you can just not optimize poo poo, slap DLSS into it and most player won't give a poo poo.

I was honestly taken with how good it looks, but I haven't played too much AAA stuff recently. Also I run at about 90fps on a 3070 with balanced DLSS

Have you tried moving the camera? Do you not see the horrible halo of disocclusion artifacts around your character when you do that?
I'm not sure why but it's particularly bad in that game.

How's your CPU? I don't have Remnant 2 (yet :getin:) but if cranking your resolution way down barely affects the framerate it's a classic sign of being CPU bound. That was me on my old PC with Elden Ring where even at like 800x600 resolution I couldn't crack 45fps.

A somewhat random observation: What's the deal with borderless windowed display mode seemingly becoming less common recently? It used to be that for a while borderless was the default for just about any game, as is right and proper. But in the last few months I've come across a surprising number of games (most recently Stranded and JA3) that only have either exclusive fullscreen or bordered window available. I kinda assumed this would be a solved problem to the point of being available by default on commonly used game engines. Has there been some recent change that would make implementing borderless more difficult, or is it just a coincidence that I keep runingn across games that don't bother?

I think it's excusive fullscreen becoming extinct and developers just naming borderless to simply fullscreen. In modern Windows exclusive fullscreen is secretly a borderless window anyway most of the time.

yeah, microsoft have optimized borderless to a sufficient degree that they decided to deprecate exclusive fullscreen altogether in DX12

I always get annoyed at games where you alt+tab just once to look something up on Google and then it decides you'd like to start your game in Windowed mode, forever. This is why I have to keep obsessively rechecking my settings whenever I start something new!

Alt+Enter is usually a quick fix for that.

Resident Evil Village was the worst one I found because when you alt-tab not only does it switch to windowed mode, it would disable HDR, and the only way to get it back to being correct is to restart the game.
