What are you playing?

[cucker tarlson]

I use this little program all the time before I upload!

Why would you be deliberately rude and make it so people cannot share in your posts about what you are playing, when you make it so many cannot view "what are you playing" with any real success? It kind of defeats the purpose of sharing, unless you are only posting to see yourself post.

BTW putting screenshots in spoilers does actually help ALOT in page loading. Many only participate for 3/4 of the day on phones, where this phenomenon is most apparent.

Im just joking dude

That may be Sir, but it is actually an issue. Other threads have limits/rules on pictures, but here no limits have been set. Unfortunately, some take advantage of this.

I can do that in irfan

anyway,best way is to insert an imgur link,tpu works perfectly you can swipe left and right

You can also just save your screenshots out of MSI afterburner in Jpeg to start with. Saves hassle, its how I do it. Always well sized for web.

Spoiler tag is also better because the page may load,but text always gets loaded first. Spoiler tags prevent the page constantly moving around while pics get loaded.

Another pretty strong case for not spamming big pics is ppl will just avoid them and or simply ignore individuals.

Im not joking btw.

i wont make a habit of uploading too many vids..

ive never recorded this game before.. youtube as true to form,fucks with my perfect quality vids i upload

here is split second. i havent played it in 2 years or so but i think i did pretty good

Split Second is one of the few games that I never uninstalled from my PC 'have it around for years now'.

Game is fun thats for sure if one is into arcade racing games, late game is also quite challenging and the game still doesn't look bad imo. 'works fine with Ultrawide res too'

Shame that Split Second 2 never happened.

Same here! i keep intending to install it. I've heard it can be good arcade-like fun.

yea.. always installed but I received a new PC a few months prior and never reinstalled it.. Just an oversight on my part. Still cant believe it was a disney game.. The game is well optimized IMO and for a 2010 game,does indeed look nice. I have a few minor issues with it but those are very minor

I'm just going to throw this out there. If any of you dudes play Battlefront II, my Origin tag is ChromiumQueen, so feel free to add me to your friend list. I mainly play Co-Op missions (majority as First Order) and dabble in HvV on occasion (really, really difficult to find proper matches free of noobs saber spamming or jagoffs waiting to ambush/force push you off the stage) so...yeah, feel free to add me to your squad!

 

[Kanan]

Started playing Darksiders today, really good and challenging game so far! It's a hack n slash with story.

 

[Cvrk]

Still in it ... i think i crafter the most powerful armor in the game and it's been hours of gameplay since it's impossible to find anything better.

^ That woman in the 2nd to last pic -- Daaamn! She got a six-pack

Maybe you need some Code Vein in your life. I see you like the Fashion Game

That's what I'm hooked on ATM. Its like a lite version of Dark Souls, waifu style. Gameplay is about 10x as deep as DA: I, with actually interesting action combat but ALSO a major influence of RPG elements. A good build basically allows you to get past or simply ignore certain mechanics to make the game easier. Its awesome. I'm quickly adding hours to the play count and lose track of time... not many games manage that anymore for me.

that's my female character. love her voice acting. Wanted to romance her with Sera. I chose some line in the dialog and destroyed with one single decision my entire relationship. DAI quest decisions actually make a difference.


@Vayra86 don't.....i got the deluxe edition of this with all the dlc's etc etc...i gave up on this game only after about 7-10 hours of gameplay, didn't even do 10%. So much money wasted. The world did not seem alive to me, the story i couldn't care less - everything was so still. Dragon Age is a story inside a story, so emotional and intriguing

Alright, gotcha, so you're really in it for the narrative and immersion. Yeah... in that Code Vein is very painful. Theeee sceennneess moooooove soooo slooooooooowly. I skip almost everything
And I gotta say, DA does nail that part of it, even if I found the Inquisition story far less intriguing than DA O

All pics were resized 50%.I just used MS paint to resize, which is fine for a few pics at a time

A friend wanted to play me in an online match . I havent played much so im practicing against the ai in a skirmish match


From an avp match last night. Only alien most the game. At one time there was around 8 people playing but at the end, there was only 4.. 1 human , 2 preds and my xeno runner. nades and plasma all over the damn place. Made life painfully short for an unarmored runner. No matter how sexy my moves where. There were instances where I killed several in a row though and it wasnt easy. Im probably the most exoerienced runner in the game and im the undisputed master in wall crawling..thats


Going through my pics and thought this was kool. Take a few months ago in Combat Mission:Afrika Korp. my tiger smoked those shermans. CM still has some of the best tank vs tank math under the hood that most games. The newer versions of this series probably is more capable.. only other game is the graviteam tactics Steel Armor/basa 86 game

War in the East. Also taking a few months ago. Ill probably start a new game of this game this weekend. So very long and grueling though. Its an endurance test of ones sanity.. lol

I haven't played NFS title in like...forever. I skip quite a number of it since it has become newer Fast & Furious. This one got a good praise so I give it a go. Unfortunately I don't like it so much. First the things I like about it is car customization; I like how you can change fenders, calipers and brake disc, etc. But there are few things I don't like about it,; story still sucks, drift is not as fun as older NFS and require you to double tap throttle to drift (stupid mechanics IMO). I only at level 16 currently so maybe I give it a bit more time. I cover the number plate because I use my family car number plate Most of my car is BMW, only one that is not is Lotus Exige for drift event. I'm suckers for big wings so

 

[Brandenburg]

This is Steel Armor/Basra 86.. One of the best modern day tank sims.. The other without question is Steel Beast Pro PE

----
was playing this this morning.. Trying the naval battles

main thing i hate about the wargame series is the interface imo.. Close combat is so much better at controling troops because of its interface.. and 15 years older too.. Wargame is still pretty good, considering other games .. But could of been so much better.. several things i wish was better or different.. its a love/hate relationship

Which NFS is this?

 

[Rahnak]

Which NFS is this?

It's the latest one, NFS Heat.

 

[Brandenburg]

It's the latest one, NFS Heat.

didnt realize a new one was released

 

[Recon-UK]

Did this this morning... i have entered Jedi Master territory, i am nowhere near Yoda level though, those sub 50 minute runs are insane.

 

[Brandenburg]

a friend and i are going to play an online game of wargame :red dragon in the next day or two.. no resuply ship, no helicopters, 2 air cards max.. max points at start...

think i might record this match.. also, he created a land & air deck, so ill create one to counter his in a few

That may be Sir, but it is actually an issue. Other threads have limits/rules on pictures, but here no limits have been set. Unfortunately, some take advantage of this.

Jpg compression is your friend. If the image is 1080p, you can easily get 200-400kb an image, which I don't think is too insane, unless multiple people drop double digits. I know we went over this before, but I still think that having attachments auto-scale/compress would be best for servers and visitors alike. But then I suppose that might kinda hinder threads that are basically all about the high quality images.

I just use ifranview to run some quick batch compression. Or if I just wanna pick a couple out, I open it, hit the 's' key and save it in a 'web' folder as a mid-quality jpg. It takes the time to open the image right before uploading. Just adding 1% of compression can cut filesize way down on some images. Getting down to ~80% it still looks okay and is much much smaller. Guidelines may just be in order there. Some tips on how to keep the filesize down. Or again, just make that part of the uploading process. Lock them at 1080 or even 720, apply light compression.

I'm spoiled rotten by my phone internet, though... and having a flagship from last year. I see pretty much no pop-in.

Screenshots in spoilers does help, too. They still have to load, but it seems like they always load last and don't effect navigating the rest of the page until they're actually displayed. I can recall having a few laggy days where the page loaded fine and it was only when ticking a spoiler that things actually bogged down with images scanning and the page jumping as each one pops in. So I always figured those were a fair enough compromise. I don't know how it is for other people but for me not tapping spoilers packed with hi-res images made it completely navigable. It'll come down to how much memory you have available, not internet speed.

 

[Regeneration]

The single game I can play at the moment. Tried it several times over the years, always got bored after the Egypt tutorial campaign.

 

[The Foldinator]

Pretty sure i removed my rock now. until yesterday, i had no idea this game was out there

 

[Brandenburg]

just started playing 'Shadow Empire'.. wow.. steep learning curve but very kool..

ill post pics once i get deeper into it
