Am I missing context? What’s ‘thinners’? Is this a drug thing I’m too boring to understand?

I don’t think the issues with Concord had a single thing to do with the performance. That was basically the single way the game was fine.

Crazy that they removed the screaming from subsequent editions of the Necronomicon. Nowadays it’s gone through so many revisions new copies don’t even bleed. Sometimes the modern special editions will whimper a bit, but that’s all you get.

The game is mostly positive? If it’s getting review bombed, then it isn’t a very effective review bombing.

What’s wrong with Funcom?

I thought Conan Exiles was decent. Not great, but fun enough. That’s my only exposure to Funcom afaik.

Usually with self-hosted survival crafting games like this there’s just an anti-cheat toggle somewhere. No reason to have anticheat running when you have a four person private server with your friends, after all.

Oh, that’s interesting. I am also using an R5 3600 lol.

Indoors, my performance is fine on medium it seems. It doesn’t change much from the 60fps I get on low. But outdoors it is rough. Even on low.

Edit: hah, either I did it and forgot- or the game defaulted- to a 60fps frame cap, which explains part of it. I actually get more like 70-80fps with occasional stutters when indoors. Also for sake of discussion, I’m on the Xbox Gamepass for PC version which, from prior experience, might be different in entirely random ways.

That’s extremely interesting.

I have an RX6600 and I’m barely getting 60fps indoors on low. Hm, maybe my CPU is the issue, but I’m well above the minimum requirements.

The difference is probably largely raytracing, though. I’d expect most of the cards that are struggling with the game to absolutely demolish it just by turning RT down.

which is 1.5x more powerful than a 5090

…are you sure? I think you’re mistaken.

I’d be shocked if it was your GPU causing long load times, that’s not usually the culprit for that kind of thing unless you don’t have enough VRAM. It’s probably another part of your system the game arbitrarily dislikes, or it’s just generally being shit.

Tbf, they’ve been doing that with a reasonable amount of success with Rainbow Six Siege.

Honestly, if we’re talking modern games I think games that don’t utilize multithreading to at least some degree would be a significantly shorter list.

TIL. I didn’t realize it started in the browser originally.

Warframe can be super overwhelming, though. There’s a billion things to do and it’s hard to know where to start. I had issues with that when I was getting back into the game awhile back, and I’d already completed a ton of the content. If you actually want tips on how to manage it: set short term goals and long term goals, and just go for those. Shut out anything that isn’t relevant and focus on specifically on whatever you decided was your goals. My long term goal, for example, was to complete all the story quests. My short term goals were basically a checklist of things I needed to do to start the next quest lol.

Plus, the game being almost entirely PVE means that in my experience the community is great. If you have questions or need help just ask, and someone will probably be willing to help. There’s an excellent Warframe community over on the dormi.zone instance. It’s reasonably active and they’re helpful over there. Plus Q&A chat is just in the game.

Fair enough- I find leveling stuff is fine if I either do it passively via either just equipping a weapon I don’t intend to use or just specifically focus farming leveling. But Warframe is very firmly not for everyone.

Web Fishing is just outright paid, is it not? The game is $5 on steam.

There’s a few examples of F2P games with good monetization. Warframe comes to mind immediately. I’ve heard Path Of Exile is also a solid example of F2P done right, but don’t have personal experience with that one.

I think ‘premium’ in this case is synonymous with ‘not free to play’.

Yeah, okay. Without the context I see how you arrived to internet drama. I wasn’t connecting the dots properly.

Nobody is mad about being banned from Club Penguin, it’s expected- because they would insta-ban you based off a rudimentary chat filter- and these were popular memes for awhile.

Uh, okay. I didn’t realize the existence of Club Penguin was ‘internet drama’. That’s the part that confused me lol.

…what internet drama are you talking about rn?

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
