    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    @lup3s I think I actually remember that one - love it ofc. There is a new simulator from the guy(s?) that do these comics: You ll find it serves the theme of WoWs very well. (They are huge, so you gotta click to enlarge) but the promised Dashie simulator: Well that "5 more minutes in the bathtub" reminds me of me. Damn I love this style. I think I got to post the rest of his simulators over time. Well might even play the Iron Duck today and see what it can do ........

    ( ....... ugh, those ship-slippers *do not want*) Sure, because Music is very relaxing. @AO see thats upskirt but not pantsu. Also ofc overknee socks ...... speaking of which: Its a lot harder to get them on if you are not using magic. Also this one from the patchlog: Fix for the Defensive Fire bug causing incorrect performance: aircraft attack cones didn't expand when the range of Defensive Fire was close to the range of the attack squadrons launching attack. This bug most often repeated on the Battleship Hood I knew it! Those damn sewer rats! Thats another bug thats present for years now. I dont know how often I have popped defensive fire to try to protect somebody against a strike, only to find that it did absolutely nothing (within AA-gunrange ofc). Naturally the strike then happened at the edge of that/my cruisers Def. AA range. Let recap: Something is broken - doesnt matter. Cruiser cant protect shít - doesnt matter. Sky Cancer gets it way when it should be "punished" (much punishment ) for dropping near a cruiser with deff. aa - doesnt matter. But the second something related to a premium - and ofc a BB no less - isnt working as op-ly and p2w-ly as intended there is a fix on its way real fast. Thats ofc some serious scumbaggery but nothing I havent come to expect from the oxygen thieves working there. C2H5OH watered with lots of antifreeze and ofc some lead. Explains a lot, doesnt it?

    ......................... never underestimate WG. Its really like the overflowing clogged toilet after a eating contest that "keeps on giving". Now I am going looking for rest of the stupid patchnotes; isnt it amazing alone by itself that you are not looking forward to patchnotes in a sense "I am exited whats next" or "I wonder if they fixed" but rather "I wonder what they fucked up now ........"? I actually wanted to play today - got stuck in SC 1 ..... *sigh*. Marvellous really. Its not like playing SC 1 again is so unique for me - if been doing that in the last ~ 20 years, last time about a year ago - but then again SC 1 is a actually good game, even today and without the optional enhancements. Meanwhile WoWs is a game with that looks at least 10 years old, uses 20 years old tech and makes 25 years old Dune 2 look perfectly balanced. Best of all: I havent even touched the subject of the p2w ......

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    I refuse even the very sentiment we are anything past being physically mature only! Time... time TIME won't leave me as I am, but time won't take the boy out of this man! (Yeah, I know: Not even a PMV [and if you dont know what a PMV is, search for the term on YT ], but if you insist I can support the appropriate version ) Well they dont deserve this then anyway, since they are missing out on so much "important" clan information, clan organisation and ofc major clanactivities ........ mostly ofc: speaking of which: More Derpy! Imho thats a pretty good summary of us as a whole. True. ^^

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    lel, I didnt actually remember that one from SP (odly enough I did remember the one with the stapler), nevertheless: Derpy approves! Have some more happy Scrub-Mascot (I will probably be busy the next days anyway, so you should be save from the flood anyway ........ or not? ) Yeah, I know: No 1 or even 10 hrs version ....... pure Heresy!

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Give the man a window to lick (and a pony-plushy on AOs dime ) ^^ Welcome and like the other, join our chan, feel free to division up for a few games and listen to salt in ts. Then make you decision whether or not to fully go Scrub. Meanwhile: At least thats pantsu done right, nevertheless, combined with thats a lot of R 34. Time for some Rule 34 then! (first time I use this very fish variant - but it fits perfectly^^) Chiptune - perfect for derp-gameplay, probably going to use that for playing the RN HE-Cruisers : and Normal: (Yes the songs actually called Rule 34. Still found it, which is not easy considering you cant just enter "Pony" + "R 34" in google .... well you can, but then you should be ready for the results. Amazing, the scrubs get me to dig out all the old stuff ^^) I actually know the artist too, although I remember it in a more sfw (if that exists ^^) version: Normally I would finish with some socks for AO, but I can see the mob already forming. So, since this is the home of derp - have some derp-windowlicking:
  7. Some really old screens of good games in some of the most high tier cruiser shitheaps I own. Those are from project "nosedive my winrate" ........ and oh boy what a nosedive indeed - thx to manly completely useless oxygen thieves in BBs. So basically I can work my [edited]of and only get shi7 on for trying to play a cruiser, OR I can just not play at all for over a week - and then, like a noob, play Battlecancer for basically the first time this year and watch porn on the second screen and stroke myself ........ while still getting adequate results. (last only because the enemy team faltered so fast after gettin 5 cits ..... HE cits ofc ) And these screens are WITH Loran matchmaking, aka: The enemy gets the hardcore sealclubber with extremely highly p2w trained captains on noob tiers in op ships - We get the afk ships in return. The enemy also gets the good CV player sealclubbing with Air. Sup. while yours play equally skilled than a WG designer doing his job. In total: If the T4 RN BB had - access to the same modification upgrades as a T 10 - had ~ 10 knts more speed then it would already be a viable T9 or 10 cruiser; probably even a really good one ...... thats saying ....... a lot.

    Now bump yet? Scrubs! Are you really doing this with me being around? May I recommend a pony. They are very well versed in all of that! For the Empire! For the Order! Speaking of which, done for this weak. Yesterday played some SC 1 - was and is a still a great game - and it [edited]works. Meanwhile I did let the integrity check and it ofc showed that the game has the integrity of diarrhoea - same goes probably for WG in general. Anyway, after "only" 9 GB of additional downloads it will now load the harbour properly again. Didnt test more because SC was simplybetter and I was pissed anyway. Lets see how inclined I am to join the spam of battlecancer on the weekend; at least yesterday it felt like:

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    New patch ........ game doesnt work any more - naturally. What is completely broken normally, the chat, works for 1 or even 2 minutes until the rest of the fúckheap crashes. Didnt see that one coming tbh. I wasnt very inclined to play anyway after learning that there is no more 3rd flag to get (entirely my fault) and innevitable BB-spam (new and improved with _effective!!!!_ HE-spam), but damn if I am not even less now. Honestly I am so sick an tired by the [edited] WG pulls every time on all levels. Off to playing some StarCraft 1. Old as [edited], works in both old and new version and while Blizzard is another brake shoe to any technological advance, they are living on the edge compared to WG.

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    My pleasure: Also Fluttershy is commonly depicted with bunny ears and what not ...... so there is probably a lot more before I get to the slightest possibility to run dry on pics. Note to self: If ever get my hand on some sort of half valuable code, hold a contest about filling Wolfs inbox with Pony -> The one that gets Wolf to snap wins the contest and the code. *Evil plotting mode engaged* Ofc, how else could indulge in the adoration of my admirers, led at the forefront by Marvin! (laughing again about that one!) Yay! Magic Duel! The rules: AO doesnt get to use "blankets", "pillows", "data disks" of any kind, anything of that 600 GB he saved from his PC ............ wait let make this shorter: AO gets only to use whats been approved before the battle! *scnr* (I see it already made its way into a sig! ) I actually think I met you two guys already, that name sounds very familiar; and I remember the division with the supposed "husbando". Like its has been said before: Come to the chans and get to know us. We are only double as crazy as we appear here. Clan roster should be big enough for all Scrubs and Scrubettes (;)) Anyway: Lets see if I can get that 3rd flag. I wanted to do it yesterday ...... but I fell asleep after eating in front of my TV with the bird in my palm yesterday; and I remember today is (hopefully not morning) the deadline and instead tomorrow morning rather. €: Welp, I knew thurday is patchday ...... yeah, well I cant really complain to much but still a shame. T4 needs a lot of co-op games to get to 5, and thx to yet another branch of overpowered BBs, cruisers are even more impossible to play than they are anyway.
  11. The same graphics? Yeah, I am not even kidding: "It should be noted that though new effects look amazing, they won't affect the system performance!" Guess why they wont affect performance? Because WG has decided to stop wasting resources with a two decade old standard, and has switched to a (nearly) one decade old standard. Much wow. Anyway get some preview material for those interested: 1. Lets start with some sort of (hesitantly called) "effect physics" - not gameply physics because Half Life 2 aint 2 decades old .......yet. Lets look at a 20 years and its pre-assembled effects: Dune 2000; and its still ahead of WoWs: ... ahead, because there the pre-aranged debris-effect from a destroyed building could even damage other units. But yeah WG, great job for adding that and reducing how much you lag behind. In the year 2050 we will then get to "dynamic models" that can have at least their AA equipment shot off and make splashes in the water. 2. Wardrums? Wing commander nearly 3 decades ago already had music that switched according to how desperate things got. (Notice the change from a outnumbered melee, to short victory reprieve , to a rocket closing in) ...... but yeah, you did well in catching up to a 3 decade old game. ..... but wait, back to point 1: Wing Commander also had debris! For destroying a target (obviously) and also previously just for landing damage on the hull -> small pieces would get dislodged and get lost in the void of space! Well consider yourself lagging behind a 3 decade old game then. Anyway, still prefering that anyway: 3. The new fire effects ......... because doing a decent fire effect is hard, right? I could pour countless examples here, but how about Uncharted 3? Yeah the game is "only 6" years old, but it ran on 256 mb of ram, a shitty GF 7 and the crapheap of cell! A platform that is no less than 11 years old. The whole battle in fire was and is awesome - pre-aranged effects ofc ....... but it begs the question: Even without a Windows-overhead, how would WoWs look on that? I mean it already looks worse now with more powerful machines ....... 4. Bigger and nicer water splashes. That one is at least from 2009, but congrats on realising what impact water splashes have in any naval game with firearms. Tough looking at Fighting Steel: The game was way behind on gfx even at release, but even they put more effort from the beginning into their splashes. I know only 1 game so far that didnt care much in that regard ........ I wonder what even happened to get them moving in the first place? Their CEO playing on a PS 3/XBox 360 and then getting to take a look on their own game? ............ and thus the order was given to switch to DX 11 and improve gfx.

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Sure thing, I hope the Scrubs will do exactly that. At work, when that pos printer faints whenever I really need it, I usually threaten the printer to "release it back to the wild" ........ through the window of the 3rd level. Usually works like a charm afterwards. ............ and damn at that ram-stick. I hope you also tried just raising the voltage a little. Over time it just might have gotten over that certain threshold where it is now fúcked, but might still work with a relatively harmless voltage increase of 5-10 % base value. My sympathy for the work to set everything up again ....... its such a drag since it both necessary but still aggravating in the first place due to random hardware error out of the blue. That one is to easy, anyone else want a go at that one? ......... anyway have to try get some shuteye. (Ducks, swans etc do that too, but in case you dont get it: (daaaaw, do you have any idea how soft those featherballs are like this?)
  13. Fake! Thats the "Year of the CV"-guy wating for the UI fix ........ I did quite a while ago ...... ~ 2 x 2 OGSSA down sampling on a 1920x1200 monitor (basically a few more pixels than a 16:9 4k because its 16:10) ....... it was horrible. UI didnt scale at all, simply disgraceful ........... so has that changed in any way? (honest question; I would like to get some info upon in return) Right now I am using a 1920x1200 Resolution and giving the game the 8x SGSSAA treatment - gets adequate results and circumvents any issues with UI scaling in higher resolutions too. See this is another example: Instead of patching holes and manually adjust for common resolution WG should implemented a working smooth scale with no intervention in the future required no matter what resolution you use from the very beginning. Would have been also excellent propaganda material for a Matrox tripple head setup (or something similarly insane) showcase. .......... and no, those are not "insane new resolutions": I had cathode ray tube monitors that would have run into scaling issues in this game, so if those havent made to russia yet ...........

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    You sure you want to write stuff like that? It has a certain habbit of setting a certain "chain of events" in motion. (or maybe Wolf misses Pony secretly - yeah, I roll with that! ) Beware of to much cute stuff; Diabetes mellitus Typ Pony incoming. Still some nice nature .......... and comfortably cool I suppose. (I just have to make it to the weekend here and then I will be allowed to live like a human again ...... at least for a while). I actually edited my post to make it clear I dont a feud of any sorts with C, because I felt since AO mentioned him my response could be taken in such a way. In fact, like I said I played with him and all and although we disagree I value his person. Some more lines: (god that movie is bad ....... but let see who gets the reference ^^; also I like the "impossibru-ish expression ) anyway, approves. (I could actually think of a few other recent and excellent pictures of the Muffin-Princess-Scrub-Mascot, but I feel like a simple one is best. Also there is always a next time) Thanks for the info. I was kinda right but screwed the designation up, its indeed the Char du rupart (breakthrough tank rougly) B1 in a captured form - basically a early "superheavy". Anyway, where did the day go again? I need to find at least find enough time to play co-op for the 3rd BB flag, and I basically didnt play again for over a week ...... but tired (and then I cant sleep because its to damn hot ) Feels like in the morning: (Also Nurse Redheart for great Justice! ....... twice!) Hopefully more like in a little while this evening ........ I nearly forgot, since there is an upcoming vote soon, I basically had the equivalent of those on my door right after I peeled of the workday clothes and sat down to indulge in some of the takeout I brought along (no cooking, had to do some errands on the way detour riddled journey home) anyway coming to an end. I hope thats enough Pony-spam for Wolf, and to placate him and the rest of the Scrubs, have yet "another Dashie-pic". Shameless self-quote here:
  15. @ZenithWell, well so the smoke grenade about trying to derail this via turning this into a "pretty shapes"-discussion turned out to be a dud, but fear not, Plan B is going to work out better! Or is it? Let see. At least I see my assumption of character has not been proven wrong in the least. Go ahead with the talk about the Ponies, lets see if you can figure out something I havent heard before that gets me worked up (hint: take advice from WG patchnotes, they achieve that usually), and when you are done, see if you can do the same on the topic based on actual facts (reminder: facts are not what others would call your opinion). I refuse that statement to the fullest, I got a lot more than meme pony images! See? Told ya! I had to pick that one out and give it a solo spotlight! Seriously thanks for making my day, I am completely blushing here - in the sense of being flush with red cheeks, mostly from laughing my flank off ofc. I will never let Marvin (and the others) hear the end of it for being considered "admirers" of mine; Marvin, thats too good. Priceless! Have another video, you earned it. Dont worry, it fits the topic of the thread: Its a sfm improved version of the previous one. Wait, are you saying I am not ranting enough? Now I have heard it all, not enough Pony previously to "placate" my "admirers" (I am still not past laughing about that one) , not enough rant now. I agree but have to add (again): 1. Technique has to be adequate too, and only with the most recent update we made progress to tolerable levels, at best, in that regard. I could live (and yes thats a opinion, mine) with visuals from the early 2010s if the gameplay would suffice, if basic things like good AA were present, and most importantly if the input/output ratio in terms demand in hardware makes sense. If it looks dated and uses a dated engine, it should run on dated hardware with no worse results than games that were in their prime back then. 2. Technique and gameplay go hand in hand. Imagine wandering zones of bad weather .......... or, again, just have that broken crap of (carrier) UI. I take that, you in particular should know how bad that one is ........ Now I am not saying the dated engine is the reason the UI is so broken, but this sort of ancient patched together engine usually causes a multitude of problems; and a lot of resources are wasted on patching holes and completely in vain when the next one pops up or finally moving on to something less dated.. 3. Another example is that WoWs is still 32 bit ....... why? XP has been dropped already. Vista and 7 both came with 32 and 64 bit licenses and no, there is no pure 32 bit x86 consumer CPU that could run this game. Seriously, Vista with 32 bit was limited to 3 GB off effective ram use (excluding ram disks and such) even with 4 GB and more installed; I dont even dare to imagine how crap this game runs on such a machine. As to the reason why, I do have my suspicion: Development is initially a little bit more expensive, but pays of multifold in saving over time. An example: All that investment for fiddling around with the Large-Address-Awareness-Flag so a game can use more than 2 GB of address space (and thus physical ram) under XP 32 bit + fiddling around to circumvent crashes and incompatibilities (D3DX library used to simply screw up completely, for example) is for naught when said game finally hauls its [edited]at least to 64 bit. I wonder how much ram sits unused and idly by in the user bases PCs, but then we have crashes and long loading time during the match start. So you could use the ram ..... or just force the playerbase to invest in SSDs -> Thats showing real consideration for potato PCs ....... not. see above. Well how about some Rainbow Dash instead. Lick the window and "Taste the Rainbow" (uuuuuuhm, I cant remember if that term is save to google in all honesty - mainly because I dont remember from where I got that one ) €: Never mind its from the Nostalgia Critic guy, but sadly I cant use it here since I left out a part which falls under "explicit". ^^
  16. At least I did use the right/same .gif too. I think Cranky Doodle did put it best: There are now a lot of jokes one way or the other around this. A fair amount of the stuff might be gone by now as it pretty old, by doing a quick search (using the "punctuation"-tag out of a hunch ) nets this: (safe, I promise) There were a lot better ones, but like you can imagine (), its not that easy to immediately get to those. Its basically the same as with "Lyra-Plushie" of which time has as consumed a lot of the dank memes - and another fair warning: Dont google that term either or be ready to bear the consequences! Least of which would be probably : But you gotta admit, your concern about what a real writing frenzy would look like droped down a few notches, didnt it? (Forum having massive hickups again - and not for the first time today. I wonder how "stable" the servers are .........)

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    You probably dont want to know what AO had to to do for those codes. *scnr* Secondly: Probably not if they spot (and know) its me. At the very best we would be probably the throwing insults at each other (generally speaking. I have played with Crysantos and even though our opinions on CVs "diverge" (*cough*) I probably would have only taken a piss at WG in general, but obviously not him ;) But great idea with the lottery and joining forces with AO and forming a unified pot. Ofc they are your (and AOs) codes and you are free to do whatever with them .......... but I would suggest if Albert is really going to get pulled that only Scrubs without one sign up so the Emdens/port slots are still something missing out on the main, but winning. ..... and if I had a word in it, I would make everyone sign up via a post in this thread containing a pic of their favourite Pony-Plushie. (immediate disqualification for grim dark ). For the reasons at the beginning above, I wont sign up. While I certainly only would have a problem to choose which picture ( ), I feel its hypocritical given my stance towards WG and p2w ships. Also it would be a pity to have a rare ship rot in harbour or only see co-op on my account; then I rather see some other Scrub enjoying his prize. The ones loosing out in the lottery get a bowl of Pony as consolation - in advance even: (I am pretty sure thats inspired by cats ^^) You gotta love WoT: I have no clue wtf that is supposed to be. My best guess is F is french, so an acquired and reused french-tank and that would fit with their B2 superheavies (for the time).
  18. Well that was certainly some well crafted and thought out post; just as eloquent and fluent as you would expect, unfortunately its is kinda lost on me because: (You obviously didnt read the Scrub-Thread recently, did you? and I am not talking about the length of the posts there )
  19. Are you avoiding the main issue on purpose, or are you trolling? I dont even know where to start: 1. Gameplay, screwed up beyond believe, and I dont even need to start on the balancing issue, I stay with the technical issues again: The screwed up (esp. carrier) UI that get stuck whenever it feels like it. Seriously it makes games that were a pain to play (Age of Empire 1 pathfinding - looking at you, or Warcraft 1 unit control in general - better tape down that ctrl-key) looking futuristic. When I see how unfathomable unresponsive and broken this crap is, it makes me cross my fingers so one day WG will achieve what you could have had in those dark IPX/SPX (!!!!) times playing C&C RA 1. 2. Tech ≠ Eycandy. Ofc one is certainly is the way to achieve the other; I leave it up to you figuring which is the one dependent on the other ..... 3. Let me re-iterate one last time: Because I feel like its a case of: , and thats the more generous assumption .... You argue thats the tech is outdated to allow more players to play, while I have again told you why thats factually wrong and how players with modern hw were actually excluded (hint: a lot more than those with dated highend DX 9 cards or even a MGPU setup) instead of included because WG is so seriously lacking behind. And thats just one example. Now you are trying that smoke grenade with the gameplay > graphics thing? Really? I am honestly questioning whether or not you have a the slightest clue what you are talking about and if you are now trying the video game discussion buzzword-bingo. I am happy to discuss and exchange opinions, I am willing to talk about impact and implications of facts, but I certainly wont waste time with somebody that has no clue and on top confuses facts and opinions. To put it bluntly, there are already enough people like that on the forum (first time poster, BB-main - would be a prime example) and I rather put them onto the ingnore list and save me the headache instead of fruitlessly try to explain to those not even listening. I know that you probably wont get it (again) but here are some really good graphics for a naval game (no sarcasm) and guess what? It already got a "better basion-mode" (no sarcasm again) because considering the frame of the game it was is well designed and works. And if you really want to see some top notch graphics then look up Turrican on the C64 - all that on 64 KB of ram of which roughly 39000 Bytes were available...... ... and to be quite honest, I think its pretty base to try to discredit via trying to make this a "pretty shapes on screen" discussion. I like and still play this game: The thing is: The graphics were poor and outdated even by release standard - as was the underlying tech. Not as much as WoWs ofc, and unlike WoWs there never was such a huge distortion between hardware-demands and output-results. I still play it after all those years (modded ofc) on my shitty Intel IGP (thats the only one that runs it without glitches or at all), and I will probably do so longer than WoWs. Bottom line is here: I would have never ever argued that the tech or the graphics were anything better than tolerable at best, nor would I have tried to defend them if they had released this game as it was in 2005 instead of 1999. Slight Completely off topic, but I got nostalgic again: This is a piece of Art called "The Mill" on the C64. I can stare at that one for days and praise the genius and craftmanshipskill of the artist. Link: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=101528 If you wonder wth why, lets me just drop a few hints: It has to do with the technical solution of the colour cells and the composition of the colours to assemble that scene. So thats the technical solution, but the composer of that picture had to also make his work appear seamless and for that I simply salute him. Remember those ~ 39000 free Bytes on the C64? Well 1 bit colour (black and white) at 320 x 200 (standard resolution back then) takes up already 8 KB of ram. If we want at least 16 colours (4 bit) that would consume 32 KB already - for just storing 1 render-screen! - which would imply you got less than 7 KB for the rest of the game! Obviously, if you look at game like Turrican, those would simply have been impossible like that. The picture looks seamless, but in fact there are colour cells forming a grid all over this picture, and no cell has more than 2 colours (I think, there is a 4 colour/cell mode but it had reduced resolution as a tradeoff and it doesnt look like that at all; also I think I can even spot the cell-pattern if I look carefully and then I only see 2 colours/cell). I mean ........ wow, just wow. Coming to an end here before I got into a writing frenzy.

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    I guess some pictures/concepts are now stuck forever. Wait, forever? Yep thats pretty much forever, I guess. So, what else? and all, ofc, but then there is this trollish side of me that: Well, have a consolation button-pin. (I already told there is a lot of dank meme-ing around this ) Put it on your backpack or something because you can now officially say you "have been there and seen it all" when asked about "iwtcird". (damn I need to stop, but I am genuinely laughing) P.S.: To the rest wondering what the actual f is going on, there is only one way you gotta find out for yourselves, and you have been warned.
  21. Long story long, its that problem with facts and opinions again, I see. You can have a opinion that the game looks fine for you, and thats ok. But you cant say it fine for how wastefully with resources its has been in past for what it achieved (and still btw). Those "as many players" could have used a performance boost in the past (if the eyecandy is enough for them) or more eyecandy - take all the people with (really old) midrange DX 10.x card for example, some of which have been excluded previously. Aka, the russian potatoe PC or those with Intel IGP only NBs. Its also not fine for how poor it looks on a performance/highend rig. This game has been wasteful and/or poor looking for clinging to a two decade old techstandard and thats a fact. Ill quote WG themselves: What are the benefits of adopting DX11? DX11 will make it possible to boost game client performance across the board. Like NoShitSherloc - even the crap they put into the WiiU supports DX 10.x - so no wonder theres going to be a boost for finally using whats available even in any potato pc. I dare you to find a somewhat recently released pc game (how about the same timeframe as the WoWs "release"?) that does only support DX 9c max. without a option to switch for (a modern) OGL or DX 10.x up to 12.x mode and is more than a joke. Obviously you havent read what I have posted (also elswhere) on the subject but: The hell you are talking about? Cutting edge?! DX 11 is a decade old (presentation of the specs) and DX 9 two. Even Games like Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams (2012 release) or World of Warcraft (2010/2011 update) uses a DX 11 renderer per default now. This game (ships) could be barely be run on any DX 9 hardware anyway (the last and strongest cards that were DX 9 only or MGPU-setups) and there has been no new DX 9 cards since NV launced GF 8 in 2006! Another example: StarCraft re-release uses a OGL renderer, and you really cant argue thats a graphic-porno suddenly (I actually quite like everything they did so far) . In fact, saying it uses (a modern) OGL renderer just means its been brought to a current tech standard (probably a lot easier to maintain for blizz too, as well as some coin on the side) without passing any judgement on the graphics. You could do Pong in the "original quality" on a DX 12.x renderer AND use the hardware techlevel of a DX 12.x card as well (ie for the "texture steaming, if you would "insist"), instead of ...... you know using a dated "Pong-Console" - same thing. But maybe thats all too abstract ........ if only there was another another: -f2p game -for Russian potatoe pcs -developed by a highly despicable company -whose main goal is to pass the game off as f2p instead of the p2w it truly is -with complete inepts doing the balancing and ship tank design. Well there is ....... even WoT has had a DX 11 mode for quite a while now. If it was the "HD-client" I remember from prior to WoWs open beta being tested, then ....... This how it should be: up to date and good back then, even better now: This has been WG approach - with outrageously high hardware demands for the result over the whole spectrum of low to high end rigs. (and now they are trying to get to time index 0-21 seconds of that first vid)

    [SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy

    Hi Scrubbettes or "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated". ^^ Been busy, tired (the whole week) and am now not even close to being up to date. Had breakfast this morning and learned that WG started another drama, this time with I-Shill ...... pitty I dont have the time to indulge. So thats my excuse for that matter. ^^ Everytime ........damn that wall! It also reminds me of this (also that .gif is saved! ) Your Princess is always ready for a pillow war too! (I am not even kidding, there is a lot of art out there^^) Which should come at no surprise since its in literally one of the first few episodes. No offence, it looks a beautiful patch of mother earth, but when I came home, I was so tired that after misreading this several times before figuring it out, convinced me to not play on that day any more. ^^ ... and it sure does look nice, cool too. Here we are slowly being cooked again. Yesterday I woke up and basically simultaneously smashed my shoulder joint with the other hand without really (consciously) knowing why. Well that wet feeling on the upper arm + palm made me turn on the light: Yep fully loaded bloodsucker turned into a red 2D streak ...... god damn vermin! There is actually this term "Convention Sickness". Its basically the strain on the body (see screaming at the concert + all the standing, walking around etc) + burden taking a trip in general + meeting with (a lot!) of people close up which are basically a colourful bunch of disease hosts anyway (*scnr* ) + overall not healthy conduct on those days (like changing from air conditioned environment, to getting blown on somewhat directly, to get cooked again - or when to find the time to drink/eat) usually combined with sleep deprivation of varying degrees (because of the need to travel and then "see everything"). Anyway, thanks for the Gamescom report! Well most games the BBs veer away from the enemy like a flight of birds or a swarm of fish would from a predator - all uniformly - towards the border. You cant call that "uncoordinated" if you'd ask me. I have some rather completly "different" things to say about that if I am honest ...... Meanwhile, this game is still full of "second rowers" - even in co-op WG has set their bots on full teamkill-mode. Well seeing there was a lot about anime going on, just enter "Applebloomers" into YT (or google) ......... just dont hold me responsible for the results. (From what I get, its supposed to be Sailor-Moon-ish - but ofc thats mostly lost on me and I hated that show anyway ........) I know a "a few more things" to "avoid googling" but lets just stick with the piecemeal-technique. ^^ I bet^^; some footage from a security cam: Make sense: Enough socks for AO, but not Pony anyway ........ well that ofc breaks any deal. (also maybe not enough "pantsu" ...... or "worse" ) Much better: Does a Dashie-pic with both the later two count too? Now after loads of scrolling I can actually start the "usual stuff", but now I am realising that the post is probably long a.f. already. Well had some "totally not pony-related" waifu previously, have this one *scrunchy face* (I wish we had a (pony-)smiley for that): So I end this here (for the moment). €: Which reminds me, one last fair warning: Never ever google search anywhere for "iwtcird", not even "iwtci,rd" (unless you mean to ofc ). While the later one should be fine and is full of some pretty hilarious dank jokes/memes, search engines usually cant distinguish - or its filled under one tag uniformly anyway. You have been warned mortals, turn around for this way leads to the marshes of dank memes ......... .... and "other places". ^^ (not exactly this path, but close enough)
  23. Its been brought up countless time, but is it really that hard to figure out that if you cant keep your bots from tking (somewhat understandable) to at least switch off team damage for them? DD just got spotted! Must try to teamkill friendly cruiser with all tubes available! Yeah ...... I dodged that, but the final nail in the coffin is that there is even no reparation if they do kill me - but instead a full battlefee instead. What am I supposed to do? Report the bots for bot? So plz ffs with sugar coating on top, switch of team damage for friendly bots since its also a bad example for learning players in co-op ..... (just like your bots going middle on Two Brothers - just delete that area from the allowed space to pick as a possible route - problem solved).
  24. Oh yeah I remember that one. To bad shitty games like Codename: Panzers already had those pre-ranged effect physic. That would be 2004 btw. (for the rest, see below ) Admit it, you are just out of likes again! There is absolutely nothing dynamic about it, thats why in my opinion the comparison with the old sprite graphics effects is so fitting. You could do so much ....... - like having incoming(outgoing ofc too ) shells distort the smoke from a burning ship - wouldnt that be awesome? ....... or the smoke actually looking there is a ship moving through and atmosphere and ....... I dont know that atmosphere even having wind? ........ and look at the damage decals too: They look like a literal wallpaper glued to the ship hull. Best part is when the go 90 ° on corners ...... I mean Homewolrd 2 did that better (the original, not that shitty remake by Cashbox - that would be 2003 btw). So I completely agree: They may be using a DX 11 render path now, but it still a shitty port to DX 11 only in the first place. I mean this how "seamless" and "lively" their shitty effects look: (actually no, this is still awesome - while warnoobs should just uninstall/quit) (should also cover the complaints about not enough Pony, as well as some general meme-ing ) This whole matter actually reminds of another equally bad game: Duke Nukem Forever. Just look at it: It good everything covered from "DX 11 .... somewhere" to horrible gameplay ......... (again: It HAD DX 11 to speed up the render process of the uglyass game with some textures that looked like they had been ripped out of the first Quake -> and that was 2011).
