Welp, one of those anime-lovin' basement dweller types just sarcastically accused me of being a pedophile, and that sorta crap makes my anxiety act up like crazy! According to the owner of the server this took place in, it's just "dark humor." Nah. That's just called bein' an a-hole.

I dunno if it'd help any, but I'm venting here cause usually getting that sorta stuff off my chest helps me destress.

I'm really sorry. That's absolutely horrible and I would feel the same way if it happened to me.

They're wrong.

Also, if the OWNER of all people is like that, why not leave that server entirely? It sounds toxic.

I've known said owner for a while, and they don't seem like the person who'd classify that sort of joke as "dark humor", so I'm going to assume it was poor wording. I'll just see how this plays out for now and act accordingly. I'm not afraid to leave the server if I see that to be the best course of action.

If the owner doesn't listen, I'd leave.

For your own sanity and peace of mind.

Don't let toxic people control you or hurt you or ruin you.

I've seen stuff akin to this happen firsthand before, though this isn't exactly setting off the same red flags as I'm used to. Plus, I've been on this server for years and it's rep has been spotless until now. So I don't want to be that quick to jump ship. I'll further discuss and reevaluate from there. I'm not gonna be manipulated, don't worry.

 

[KillerCage]

I still really need to get around to watching Gravity Falls, The Owl House, and Amphibia.

Out of the three. What ones do you guys consider the best in your opinion?

I would hold off on watching Amphibia until Season 3 concludes.
Until then, start with Gravity Falls or Ducktales 2017.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Uhhh last one I saw was the one where Hop Pop gets an acting job.

Oh you're way behind.

I won't spoil a thing but Season 3 has been stellar so far.

Iris' current PBR testing versions is running 256x Minecraft PBR textures with Complimentary Shaders on High settings, 2K resolution with framerates sitting comfortably inbetween 79 to 100+

No offense to its devs, but Optifine's done lol.

Does it run off Forge or Fabric?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Downloaded a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game (Sonic Time Twisted) on my Xbox One.

It's pretty cool.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ok everyone,ok everyone, welcome to my ted talk. Today we'll be talking about Disney songs and how Go The Distance and Be A Man are top tier

 

[TheMightyP]

Not MooMew, but iirc he used Fabric now so probably Fabric if I had to guess

 

[MooMew64]

Fabric.

We are slowly, but surely seeing things swing more and more in Fabric's favor. It's a bit too early to say, but if Iris keeps popping off like it is? It features robust compatibility with mods due to its open-source code and has one of Optifine's biggest features now: All it will take is more shaderpack compatability and then if Optifine devs don't react, well, they're gonna lose relevance. The reasons to use them are dwindling each day, their only real use-case will be with very specific Forge mod loadouts, which might not even stay a thing as they're starting to cause problems with mods because of their closed source code! It really ain't a pretty situation for them right now.

is it bad that I got so lost and confused over what I was meant to do in Traverse Town?

 

[TheMightyP]

I can see that Fabric is better than Optifine by a mile but my computer curses at me if I try to run it so I'm stuck with Optifine until I figure out how to optimize it for my laptop.

Yeah, there are definitely instances where people have had a hard time getting it to work: Optifine's age has helped it build up a background with a wider amount of PC hardware, I suppose.

Does your laptop run off of an Intel integrated GPU? That's usually what can cause issues with stuff due to it not being super common for gaming (most run off of AMD and Nvidia), but with Intel making their own actual gaming-class hardware coming out soon, you might start seeing better driver support.

It's an Intel i... something and yeah it's integrated iirc.

Whatever a 2019 DellXPS is. Not too powerful but able to run silders lite and I think medium under the right resolution and stuff.

Also, I'm deffo getting a new laptop soon the battery is shot for some reason. Can barely last 2 hours before dying.

Yeah, then I imagine it's probably an issue with the Integrated GPU. They definitely don't like playing nicely with newer stuff!

Sildur's is a good choice, though. Very lightweight and pretty looking; The high saturation helps give the game a really pleasant toon style.

Ah, the true KH fan experience.

Getting lost in Traverse at the start

Someone claimed one of my parents as a dependent and they're getting ****ed over for it

 

[Wario Bros.]

Cool that Sonic Time Twisted has rumble support on Xbox One.

 

[MooMew64]

For those interested in screens of Iris' PBR:

Spoiler

It's definitely very performance hungry, but at 8 Chunk render distance, 80-100+ frames are possible, and if you're willing to go to 60 it'll play on that very nicely too if you want to go higher draw distance! All in all, I'm very happy with this, it's exactly where I always wanted MC shaders to go.

Okay, hot take time.

I don't like how Fabric split the minecraft modding community in two. It was already bad enough getting modpacks together with so many moving pieces and requirements causing hours worth of just trying to get everything to load properly without crashing on launch, but now with Fabric some mods have jumped from the forge ship entirely and there's(at least to my knowledge) no way to run Forge and Fabric mods at the same time which bugs the hell out of me when I find a cool mod but I look and see it's Fabric only. Like idk it's mainly a pet peeve of mine, I don't want to install an entire nother mod loader just to play 1-2 interesting mods when Forge already has dozens that I like more.

TBH that's completely understandable. For me personally, I support Fabric mainly because in my eyes, it does everything Forge does but at a higher compatability rate for its ecosystem and offers a better overall community experience thanks to its opensource nature. It's a lot harder to figure out why something is broken on Forge IMO than it is on Fabric.

That's not even to say I hate Forge, I definitely don't, I just think both it and OptiFine are behind the times and aren't adapting to the current MC's landscape very much. OptiFine is way worse than Forge, though, mainly because it's slowly starting to fail at what it was originally supposed to do: Optimize Minecraft's rendering techniques, but nowadays it's working against Mojang's code and vanilla efforts, and isn't even playing nicely with Forge now. Fabric's community is just tighter knit and just...Works, for lack of a better word. Forge just feels like its community and biggest modders have never been on the same page.

Again though, totally understand where you're coming from: I was playing back in the 2012 days and remember the annoyance of the ModLoader VS Forge wars; A non unified community is never good.

Ironically, even moreso than Forge, Bedrock is even more stable, because it has an official modding API. ...Unfortunately, a lot of the old guard hates its guts still I think, and doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Which is unfortunate, as there's a lot of opportunity with Bedrock: I'd actually like to see that community grow the most, TBH.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Unfortunately, a lot of the old guard hates its guts still I think, and doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.

I don't hate it, I just want all the extra content I can get for my Minecraft to be free. I'm sure "official modding API" implies there are free mods, but I feel it tries to push you towards what's on the official marketplace rather than free mods.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

Man today has been fun. I basically got paid for riding rides which is awesome(even rode a bunch I hadn't before which is sweet considering this is likely the only time I'll get to do that for awhile)

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I like how Young justice retconned the Green Lantern animated series into it's continuity, very cool.

The Sonic Time Twisted fan game has been removed from the Xbox game store.

Glad I grabbed it when I did.

Wait

Fan game devs put their game on a marketplace?

That's a huge no no: That puts the entire community at risk. Were they trying to charge for anything?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Is 1,900 dollers a lot of money.. because my money anxity is telling me its not and im broke

 

[Noipoi]

It's more than a little.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It's more than a little.

I ask because im been debati g if i want to buy switch sports but then I remeber MHR expantion is in June and then I calcukate it and start crying because i feel i didnt deserve to spend that much money and then stop myself from buying what I want. So even if that is a lot, i feel like **** for even thinking abiut buying anything

I don't know the whole story but you couldn't find it through normal means searching on the Xbox store. You had to go on a person's profile page to find it.

And it was free to download (there is even a disclaimer at the start of the game saying that it should be free)

This feels all kinds of illegal.

But the game looks neat, so i wont complain.

Bro that Spy x Family episode.............

That bit when Anya cries..........just hit me.

In other news.............bought this game after a long wait:

And so far..................I'm mixed on it? Tennis, Bowling and Soccer is fine but Chambara is glitchy as ****, Volleyball is ok and Badminton is a bit slower than Tennis.

I like it but...........it feels too late in the lifespan of the Switch if that makes sense. About four/five years too late. This and 1-2 Switch should have both been released with the console in one package at launch. And reiterating a criticism I had for Wii Sports Resort years ago, Spocco Square would have been a nice walk around place and a missed idea to have stuff like collectables, a nice way of switching modes and such.

Also. Sportsmates actually look cool as hell and feel a bit like an evolution of Miis have they been done a bit more right.
