Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

He’s not wrong about NoA’s 90’s commercials. Some of them were kinda gross too.

Looking back on some of these, is kind of crazy now. What the hell were they smoking for the EWJ commercial back then?

God I remember that Yoshi’s island commercial. Just as gross now as it was then. Actually more so. Lol

Toby Last. 1 hour ago. I think you need to take a look at the source code for Quake 3 Arena (Q3A) before you attribute latency compensation to Tony Cannon. Q3A came out in 1999 and the source code was released in 2005. It had all of the netcode features you’ve described. Q3A would predict where a player is going to be based on their last inputs just like you’ve described here. If they were last know to be running forward, it would assume they were still running forward. It would also snap players to their correct location when a network message came through to show that their input had changed and the predicted location was wrong. Furthermore, there was “rollback” on attacks in the game as well. If a player fired a rocket 45 ms ago and you just learned about it, your game would show the rocket as if it had been in flight for 45 ms already. I’d have to go back and check to see if it rolled back animation as well (player animation is much less important in a FPS than a fighting game, so it may not have). You could also dial in your input delay in ms instead of frames (like GGPO frame delay). Q3A didn’t try to negotiate
“rift” – but that’s because the game had a variable framerate (in-game time isn’t based on frames), so rift didn’t exist. Someone running the game at 15 fps could connect and play against someone running at 125 fps without any issues…

I didn’t pay QA3, is that true? ^

For anyone who was waiting for dat price drop

(Also available for the same price on amazon)

I believe GBC is counted as a upgraded version of the OG DMG GB rather than it’s own Handheld.

I am more than fine with console exclusive content. No one making Xbox fans get Avengers.

As I said earlier, it won’t effect me. I have all platforms. I’m thinking of people that don’t. Some people can’t afford or don’t want the hassle of a gaming PC. For example, the last windows update essentially broke my desktop. It took me a few hours to figure out that it was the windows update and not a driver or hardware issue. Most people don’t want to deal with that or when my 165hz monitor was only doing 60hz. It took me a while to trouble shoot that one. Even though consoles have become more PC like, they are still less of a hassle.

That content exclusive to a single console is lame as all fuck. It always has been. I seent many of the folks in here, that are saying they dont care right now, cry about that shit in years past. They just dont cur now cause they own the console the content is exclusive to.

But, lookin’ at it from a bidness standpoint its great. Suckers will go out and buy a ps4 just so they can use spiderman in the game.

Anyhow, streaming some for a bit. Figure I post here cause, why not. Watch me play a bit while you have your coffee.

@Pertho 's worst nightmare.

stop me if I’m wrong, but I feel like Pertho is a member of the “anti-thottery cosplay” party.

Dude doesn’t like it when someone with an only fans only dresses up like Mai or Bowsette cause it’ll get dudes to throw cash at them and they don’t actually care about or play the game they’re cosplaying.

Also, I may be projecting :woman_shrugging:

What had happened was:

People react to different opinions in such strange ways that at no point did nobody ever ask why I hate cosplay. Think in SRK only one person has gotten a full explanation of it.

The rest of the time its people thinking highly of themselves because they disagree with my position on one activity.

But since this thread is here and y’all love acting silly, I’ll pitch you another one:

Playing video games is a terrible hobby.

But its bad enough SonicFox furred up the scene for no good reason; don’t do that to this thread.

Shantae art book up for preorder

Don’t let the $50 tag sticker shock you into not getting it. The price will undoubtedly go down as we get closer to release. Every art book I’ve ever bought from amazon has.
