efaardvark Posted March 10, 2024 Share Posted March 10, 2024 Reading about some of nvidia's next-gen GPUs. 1000W! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted March 17, 2024 Share Posted March 17, 2024 Updated all my minecraft mods to current. Not much different but a few bugs between Iris and the Distant Horizons mod were squashed. Shaders are a little more usable now, though there's still a distinct visual change at the boundary where the built-in and DH rendering meet, especially when you're looking down from a height. Still quite playable, and it doesn't require an expensive GPU to make it work. I've got a Radeon RX 6600 in my system for instance and this is what my game looks like @1080p.. A still screenshot doesn't really capture it though. If you haven't seen DH in action, take a look at this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted March 18, 2024 Share Posted March 18, 2024 I actually played some of my phone game Neverland this morning on my way to school. I got a new mount on it which is kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's a lot like Genshin if I had to compare it to a popular game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 I had a free evening so I decided to go a bit out on a limb and grab the most recent dev versions of the Distant Horzons mod, Iris, and the latest version of the "Bliss" shader. (Bliss is a modified version of Chocapic and one of the first to be able to work well with distant horizons.) I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. This stuff is coming along nicely. If you had shown me these pics a couple years ago I'd never have believed it was Minecraft. A few visual glitches still, but pretty solid even at alpha and pre-alpha github-latest-at-your-own-risk level. By the time all this gets to official releases it's going to be awesome.

efaardvark Posted March 26, 2024 Share Posted March 26, 2024 I finally got all my minecraft mods dialed in and working the way they should. Or at least as good as it's likely to get on my hardware. (Though having said that I see in this pic that java is using all of its allocation of memory. I might try bumping that up a bit. I've got 32G in the system so setting it to 4 or even 8GB wouldn't be a problem.) Screenshot taken while on an early morning exploration and mapping expedition ....

I do that kind of thing a lot too.. just play an easy game like stardew valley or minecraft and veg. Or I'm a builder so I'll often do something like get into the VAB (vehicle assembly building) in KSP where there's no time limits or anyone shooting at you and just goof off designing things.

People keep mentioning Stardew Valley to me, I think I need to see what this game is about lol I used to like to play a lot of building games but just the phone building games where you build cities and things, I always found that to be a lot of fun and stress-free.

SV is (quite) a bit like the early Rune Factory / Harvest Moon series, if you know those. If you like city building then I can recommend Cities:Skylines. I was a big SimCity fan until EA drove me off. If you like that sort of thing then C:S is very similar. I haven't found time to play C:S2 yet but I played the heck out of the first one. Both are on Steam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some time the next upcoming week to play a new game so I am going to check into it. Oh wow the trailer of this Cities: Skylines game looks amazing. Much different than the little phone games I usually play I really want to look that up now ~! 8 minutes ago, Soramee_ said: i started playing it with my friends and it's really fun. there is even an anime mod lol if you want that Oh nice, I prefer a lot of anime games so that might be pretty neat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted March 31, 2024 Share Posted March 31, 2024 Did some exploring in minecraft.. and a little landscaping around town. Going to put down some farm fields and a couple farmhouses. Maybe a mason and a fisherman as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted March 31, 2024 Share Posted March 31, 2024 A dolphin followed my boat for a while as I explored. Actually there were -2- dolphins swimming alongside my boat at one point, but I only managed to snap a pic of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted April 13, 2024 Share Posted April 13, 2024 (edited) Did some exploration of a large cold ocean biome. Not ready to tackle that yet.. .. but I did find a geode perfectly placed at the bottom of the ocean. If you find one like this, strip off the basalt, calcite, and uncracked amethyst, and just leave the cracked blocks for the amethyst clusters to grow on. That makes harvesting the shards super easy, especially if you have a high-efficiency pick and/or the aqua affinity buff.

efaardvark Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 What is it with deckbuilder games on steam these days? (aka "roguelike", eg. Slay the Spire.) Seems like suddenly I'm seeing a new one every time I browse Steam. If I search for "roguelike" I get 11,000 hits. (Which is kinda annoying if I'm trying to find old-school Rogue-like games such as the original Rogue, Angband, Moria, etc.) Are they really that popular? Somebody must have figured out how to make money with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Browsing around on Steam & found The Crust. Looks to be a builder game but space-based. Might be something I could get into. Not yet released but something I'll keep my eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeref Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 Today I started to play a game I played a long time ago called Wakfu. It is an MMORPG game I found again on Steam. Like most MMORPG you pic a class of character and level up through quest and fighting monster. You can level up equipment and obtain pets or do a job. Something to keep my mind from being too bored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
