Played a few hours of the Talos Principle 2 and it’s really great so far. Expands on the first game and I’m really liking the story framework and characters.

Steam when updating a game you haven't played in 6 months and won't play for another 6: "WE'VE GOT 30 GIGS OF PATCHES AND I'M GONNA TRY TO CHUG THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE! HOW BIG'S YOUR PIPE? IT'S MY PIPE NOW!" Steam when a game you've been anticipating comes out: "60 megs a second? Nah, I'm feeling more like 60k. See you in a week."

It must not be allowed to reach out its hand and take also from the wifi router, and download, and play forever.” So ELOHIM banished it from the Garden to work the Steam download pipe from whence its software had come.

Comcast upgraded my router a few months back and it was my test for how much I was actually getting, went from 7M/s to 70. And yeah, the slow speeds is probably actual server load on their end. Still amused by the contrast. Edit: thinking about it, there's probably also some difference between a patch and a new install in how they need to use the hard drive and decompress things. I'm still not on solid state so that's gonna be another bottleneck that will vary wildly based on the program.

I should probably also get a controller to play a few games I bought which ended up being too finicky without them. I'm looking for something wired, because I have found wireless things don't work especially well for me. I also want something which is easy to disable, because there are a lot of games I play which have Good KB/M controls, and I don't want the controller to seize control of things I don't want to use it with merely because I have a controller plugged in.

They're actually very clever about this, when there's a game you haven't played in a while they delay downloading the update by a bit so they can schedule it at the best time when the server load is minimal and you can get max speed. Unfortunately when everyone else is downloading a new release at the same time it's gonna choke the download server and slow poo poo down.

3.8 Hours to finish Jusant; I suppose it might wear out its welcome by like 6 hours but I wish it were slightly longer. Still though, very fun chill/relaxing game.

I liked the concept of V Rising but i was really not digging the aspects of grinding that didn't respect my time (fast travel restrictions for example), but it makes me a little more wanting of 'messing around with vampire powers'. Is there a good open world/less-than-linear vampire action game besides like...Skyrim + vampirism powers? Morter fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Nov 3, 2023 |

I am pretty much always a "play on the default settings (or whatever Hard Mode is if it looks decent)" guy but messing around with resource collection rates, allowing fast travel with materials, and doing a couple other tweaks in V Rising made it SO much more enjoyable. I don't mind a grind but I think the default V Rising settings really aren't intended for solo play.

I don't mind a grind but I think the default V Rising settings really aren't intended for solo play. Whoa what? Was 'allow fast travel with materials' a thing? I did adjust resource rates since I played solo/casual but I didn't realize that. Holy hell. That and the kind of prisoner resource cycle really kind of put me off. I don't mind taking my time with progression but there were some things that were offensively obtuse. I might consider a reinstall...

Yeah at least when I picked the game up again after the last big patch that added multi-floor castles etc it was a toggle when starting a new game, none of what I described requires mods or anything. Not sure if that was the case a few patches ago, I only dipped in briefly at that points edit: Yeah and all the "timer" stuff like prisoners is completely adjustable too, you can make it as fast as you want. I can see why the timers exist as a measure when playing online to keep PVP from more heavily favoring those who no-life the game, but no reason for that in single player IMO. goferchan fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Nov 3, 2023 |
