The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.
depends entirely on the game, how it loads stuff and how big the stuff is.
100 GB openworld game? HDD probably is going to struggle with the asset loading, probably leading to stuttery gameplay or very noticeable pop-in
<10GB game with closed arenas/levels? Probably loads everything at the start of the level, might take slightly longer on HDD, but probably doesn’t make any difference after that.
mean while in dummyland: I just now realized I’ve been not using veil piercer. 🤦
was kinda wondering that I surely had this around 90-something last time… sigh :D
clawing my way back to 100 after R5. Got some sweet fleet bonuses waiting for yet another reinforce-reset.
And, yea, USI is one of the better ones in the genre, I just keep coming back.
it’s been mostly “Unnamed Space Idle” (idle/autoplay game with some interactivity), recently opened a new gameplay part in it and, well, it’s slow and idle waiting and few tactical decision making here and there. According to steam I’ve wasted like 1200 hours on it… which is kinda wild.
I also played and 100%'d “Exit 8”, it’s one of those anomaly spotting games. Not difficult at all, nor does it really have a failstate either. You just go on in a looping liminal subway hallway and turn back if there’s something out of ordinary. Dunno really if it’s something I’d recommend it or not, it’s about an hour (give or take) worth of gameplay if you’re into those kind of games.
scifi? point&click? Are you targeting me specifically? Wishlisted & waiting for the demo to drop.
Digging the art style, it’s kinda reminiscent of “Another World” / “Out of this world”.
Just going by the video/screenshots on the steam page, is this going to be on phones as well? The dialog choices ui seems needlessly massive for regular pc use. Also the video says “demo available now”, but I’m just nitpicking :P
What do you mean, you don’t use string parsing method to round to integers? /s
“Already?” :D
Man this game has been through some dev.hell, I guess. Seems like their kickstarter project promised this would have been out in february… 2013. Oh well, better late than never.
Never really played the OG Space Quest -games, mainly because I just don’t enjoy the occasionally brutal late 80’s/early 90’s Sierra -adventuregame design where games contain a lot of softlocks and instant death traps. I’d assume SpaceVenture has moved on from those practices, though.
Wishlisted. Thanks.

samesies. Finished it yesterday, absolute banger of a game. The different word order/sentence structures between the languages did my head in a bit, and the last few glyphs I had somehow entirely missed on earlier areas, and when I did finally find them - the backtracking to solve the remaining translations was a bit of back and forth. But man, what a vibe that game was.
No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i’m missing something.
are you using running in circles as a benchmark? as a one continuous loop that is not going to happen with a mouse unless you have infinite desk and arm lengh. Generally mouse users do circles in segments: turn a bit, move mouse back to center and repeat as nescessary.
If you’ve mostly used controlles, yea, m+kb is going to feel unnatural. Same applies in reverse too. Different worlds - it can take quite some time to get familiar with the other.
couldn’t post as they’re still trying to escape their selfmade hell. /s
seems like the fans of the game didn’t really stay with it :P
Doubt they are going to “finish” the game before releasing it.
I don’t think anyone is going to be asking it to be fixed - that would entirely defeat the point. Though they could explain the state of the game on the store page, in case someone isn’t familiar with it.
Haven’t been following discord development, but I did test the screen sharing some days ago on linux - just for laughs - and to my surprise it didn’t CTD the app, and it actually streamed the thingy I wanted. Great!
Entirely possible, dunno. And not like a 3090 is that new anymore either.
Basically all of the issues mentioned above have been mentioned in various threads over at nvidia’s forums, etc. So they’re not unknown, but kinda wild a released driver has all of these issues whereas the previous beta was seemingly unaffected - feels like someone was bit too triggerhappy to release an untested version to production.
It’d be nice if I could just drop the nvidia card and swap to amdgpu but… that’d require “a bit” of money so I could maintain same (or better) level of performance - and atm I just don’t want to spend that kind of money. :/
rtx3090, 5800x3d, wayland, sddm, kde:
all these things were fine with 570.86.something - the previous version, which apparently was beta.
haven’t forked, no children. will neighbour’s do?
word. some devices just have angry machine spirits which just can’t be pleased.
unless you use cutting edge distro
yea well, “arch btw”. Haven’t had issues really, been running it for years on other systems but my gaming pc with nvidia is the only one with issues… because of course it does. :D
I’ve heard the game’s name, but otherwise not familiar with it at all. The stutter could be some kind of dynamic shader compilation too, who knows.
