    Thanks man will do! I recorded my first video today with a face cam, so I'm working my way into the Twitch mindset slowly but surely.

    not sure how prevalent cheating is but some guy just ripped me up while i was wearing level 4 body armor and some random helmet with a pistol from like 100 yards. killed my teammate in the exact same way. of course his name was like BongRipper

    also snagged my first drum mag for a gun that i can actually attach it to

    :pffft: potentially being able to shoot 75 rounds at a time is awesome

    New video up, Part 1 of Cloudpunk. Really unique game, seems like it will have a good story though, and there's a ton of stuff to explore and check out, seemingly beyond the main story.
    My first time being on cam but it didn't take as long to get used to it as I expected.

    I’ve been playing The Ascent a little, and have enjoyed it a bit.

    I liked it a lot when I played it, lots of technical issues but I will revisit once I can build a new box and the dev can work out the kinks

    My game sputters a bit when there’s big explosions, yet it doesn’t same I’m losing frames drastically. RTX still isn’t an option for me. Won’t save the settings when I change from DX11 to 12.

    yeah wouldn't surprise me if that was something they hadn't implemented or couldn't figure out yet.
    I have a really old box so I had to go windowed and a lower resolution just to make it playable enough to review and make a video of it, but the underpinnings are fun.
    If you like cyberpunk, check out Cloudpunk, the one I'm playing on my channel now, its a lot of fun and a very well-done representation of the theme, even in the voxel-graphic style

    I know there was an issue with the new Direct X that made it really poorly performing. Might be part of that.

    It would crash the game every time I loaded it. That was weeks ago I have quite a selection of games to go through before I try again.

    Any tips or suggestions? I've been collecting everything and I am about to stop bc It's annoying and wastes time. BUt that's one of the fun things in RPGs; saving up money to buy cool equipment.
    How much stuff should I hoard for crafting?
    Can I kill most of the NPC's? I've been killing a lot of them, especially if they can't trade with me. IDK if that's a bad idea, but I need the experience.

    Man where to start. Some quests are tied to NPCs so if you kill them you lose that quest line. I'm going to assume you are still on Fort Joy? When you get ready to leave just kill every thing. If you're playing legit you've got get that sneaking/thievery up on at least one character. Crafting plants and starting a little farm is the best way to get your economy rolling. Stardust Herb + Bucket of Water = Stardust Growth that you can plant. Farm herbs off that and craft it into stardust. Use stardust to trade instead of gold.

    So my plan is to stream something easy like Celeste middle of next week, just to see how much my old-ass PC can handle and still produce a decent stream and try to get used to all the Twitch stuff.
    Then I'm going to mess with streaming direct from my PS5, I don't know how I would do a facecam from there but the PS5 built in mic should let me do voice.
    Depending on how that goes I think I will end up getting an ElGato to use for streaming and recording from the PS5.
    I really want to stream Deathloop and Kena when they drop on over the next few weeks, they should give me a decent shot at viewership as brand new titles.

    tarkov. hit the dude with 3 rounds of buckshot from melee range and he didn't die somehow. not sure why it says 5 rounds used because i only shot 4 times but :angry:

    It’s because of the penetration of the buckshot is practically zero. You dealt most of the damage to his armor

    i understand why it happened, but from a distance where i could have just punched the guy, i feel like there should be some kind of leeway

    i also thought he was a scav because he was wearing that stupid white floppy winter hat

    ultra hardcore shooter with a bunch of different rpg elements. inventory management is a pretty big deal when you're poor like me as well. there are definitely some questionable parts of its development (memory leaks and weird desync issues, for one) but it's still in beta i guess. it's great when you're on a good run, it sucks ass when someone randomly blows your head off and you lose all of your stuff. jplaYa can explain it better i'm sure, since this is my first season

    Tarkov is a game that will ruin a good majority of all other shooters for you. Gunplay, modding, realism—it’s unparalleled. The maps are incredible and despite there only being 7 maps that are playable, they never get old. Well they get old when you constantly die with quest items or nice loot, but it’s so rewarding when you’re successful exfiling a raid. I can’t recommend it enough though it’s an investment. It’s expensive compared to AAA titles but it’s given me 3000+ hours played and there’s constant content and game updates. I’m on my 5th wipe after buying that game in 2017, getting frustrated that none of my friends played and putting it down for a year+. I’ve played the last 4 wipes and they’ve been super enjoyable. I can answer any questions you might have.

    I need to learn that transition from direct control of a county to vassalizing someone worthwhile and keeping them loyal. Balancing demense size, improving holdings to keep a sizable on-hand military/increase incoming gold, etc.

    Been a few months since I played but it is always an interesting time.

    Thanks for the tips. I didn't know you could grow your own garden. I beat the game but started over with two characters (both lone wolf). I'm going to use your method though. It's so much more fun having an idea of what to do and knowing I don't have to pick up every cup and bowl just to have money for equipment I want.

    What abilities do you focus on? On my guys I'm going with:
    Thievery --> Bartering
    and
    Persuason -->Luck

    9AM tomorrow. My first Twitch stream. Be there or be square.
    Playing Celeste and seeing what kind of dumpster fire happens when a first-time streamer with a 5 year old PC goes to Twitch-land.
