Hey @Baskinator, I followed the #hd2-announcements announcement channel via Discord webhook linking it to my own server channel but the posts have not been pushed out to my own server; I think you might have to choose to publish it as an announcement when sending the message?
@Baskinator sorry to @ u but i dont really know who else to ask sense it seems you answer most questions, is there any specific reason we cant use m&k on ps5. Since its co-op and there is crossplay with pc i dont really see a reason for that to exist

This is the point in the build up to launch where the same questions just get asked ad infinitum in the general chat, and moderation makes it so people bored of having the same conversations have to either talk elsewhere or are moderated to do so This will get way better when the game launches but this period of discord servers can get so tedious

Yeah, kinda sad how people used to talk about soup and forklift all the time in general chat, and now you get warnings for talking about cheese in general chat

It happens, as I said. New mods, different ideas on what needs to be moderated and when.

Sometimes memes need a lil breathing room I feel on discord chats. Otherwise we would never have gotten Forklift to now be associated at a company level with Helldivers 2.

one of my silly wishes for this game that i think will definitely not be added, I just want a motorcycle and able to do tricks on it. my favorite thing about fortnite is just riding the motorcycle xD. I dont think this game is going to have terrain with huge jumps in it though now that i reflect on the vids i saw and think more about it. I'm hoping the vehicles from the first game are in it tho, ive only seen one mech and it said it would be coming soon after launch

Hello everyone!!! just pre purchased the game, then started watching gameplay vids.... now im hyped afff

but like building off this, how dope would it be to see 4 motorcycles flying off a cliff doing back flips as a nuke is dropping behind it. or just doing crazy flips over one of the big insects

just putting that idea out there, hoping i can manifest something lmao

it just feels fun, doing backflips 360 degree turns mid air. honestly pretty basic stuff. I think part of the reason why i find it so entertaining is because you can get a score based on how crazy the trick is. I dont need the score stuff in HD2 thatd make the screen too cluttered, but i wanna kamikaze into a giant bug after doing a triple back flip.
they seem to be working hard but 6 per 5000 some people is uh... ya, that's a lot. also sorry, lol. not trying to explain your job to you i just don't want you guys to get blown away
1:36 PM
is there more than 5000 now anyways? i can't remember how to check server pop numbers with the new layout
ah, okay, so this isn't the last wave of mods. that's fair, actually. take things slow and see how it goes, you might not actually need more people if the mods are as responsive as they are now
always! i've got lots of mod experience myself so i know how it feels. can't imagine what its like on a big server yet but i wish you the best of luck for release

my main example of places being blown away is the Finals discord server
i have seen people there unironically use the term "heavychad" and "lightcel" to refer to the classes of the game. if that doesn't make your spine shudder i don't know what could

meh, they're both used in the same context with eachother so they're equally as bad. it's just... yeah, i don't know why im still in that server. there's nothing of use to be said there anymore, it was completely ruined by the lack of moderator support
1:57 PM
so now you might understand why i have an interest in seeing that not happen here lol

okay one day there was a kid who i hated in my class and he was rushing to do his homework while the teacher was collecting it. typical highschool shit. anyways, i stole it from him mid work, ripped it up, and ate it. swallowed and everything. he was too bewildered to do anything back. he had to go explain to the teacher what happened and why he didn't have his homework but the teacher didn't believe him because who the fuck eats someone else's homework
2:12 PM
little did the teacher know... i do. i eat someone else's homework for pissing me off
the homework's pretty hard to top imo. especially since it was an entire sheet of paper. it did eventually become sort of ritual for some of my classmates to come to me with something to see if i could eat a bit of it
i remember another time my friend was playing with a rubber band, and then he accidentally shot it out of his hands and it went maybe an inch over the teacher's head
2:21 PM
that feeling of "oh shit we could've done that" was priceless
2:21 PM
there was also improvised weaponry. i know how to make a pen crossbow
well, mine's a bit more complicated. i am a drop out due to a bout of crippling anxiety i had around 10th grade, so i got to watch all my friends move on without me, which was. incredibly horrible to go through but im about ready to go back again i think after a few years recovery
2:23 PM
it took me a very long time to get to the point i'm at right now
The game will release Thursday, February 8, 2024 9:00:00 AM2/8/2024 9:00 AM for you. PSN is required for PC players but PS+ is not. PS5 players require PS+.
may want to switch where it takes us to say "hI" if you dont want us "hi" here my bad i guess

I will absolutely not go and buy a new keyboard now. Because that would absolutely not be related to my current keyboard being smashed into multiple pieces.
If you're curious what some common names do: Anti aliasing removes jagged edges and shimmering from objects Ambient Occlusion is contact shadows. It adds a lot of depth to the nooks and crannies of environments (and is always worth using at least on low in any game IMO) Anisotropic Filtering or sometime called texture filtering is a technique to sharpen textures when viewed at low angles like close to parallel to a wall or the ground (it's incredibly easy to run on anything from the last 20 years just crank it)(edited)
4:56 PM
@Yon Sire Liege those are the three As that most folks get confused on
Very kind of ya, I appreciate the explanation! I may post particular questions here on the day, I have a 6GB Vram card, but I think it's a newer gen? RTX 4050 - it's in a laptop now so it may act up some, I'd just like to kick textures and some stuff into high - without it doubling as a space heater about it
Textures have no meaningful impact to performance. As long as you aren't running out of Vram feel free to put texture as high as your system allows
4:59 PM
Also, here's an old school example of Ambient Occlusion. Notice how the crannies where the walls meet are unshadowed and how the grass appears to float without it
I generally don't care much about these things - I played Aliens:Dark Descent on my desktop which has a 4GB 105Ti and was still blown away, and then a week later got the laptop and played a bit and was like - wait a minute, the glass has reflections?! Mind blown by all the additional details
It helps that a lot of modern games still look very nice even on low settings. Its not like the 2000s where dropping to low turned everything into mush lol
5:04 PM
Alan Wake 2 for instance runs on a mix of PC low and medium settings for its 60fps mode on console, but nobody would look at it and say it looks bad on PS5
Aye, and I suppose some stuff is significantly more 'obvious' than others too. The only game I've had to flat out uninstall for my Desktop is Starship Troopers Extermination. Really enjoying it! Just ran incredibly poorly on my desktop and character models looked like paper mache made by turtles when I would ADS

Cheers I'll be spending some time in the options tweaking things, I'd definitely like to get a more minimal HUD set up after I get used to everything
5:07 PM
DRG has an absolutely phenomenal Dynamic HUD setting which really peaked my experience with the game
Keep an eye out for Digital Foundry's coverage. They usually do a "console equivalent" or "optomized" settings guide to help you maintain equivalent visuals to the console port without cranking certain settings unnecessarily high which I always find helpful as a starting point for tweaking
This channel has been taking a lot of the overflow from #hd2-general-chat-1 but I think we can refocus our HD2 talk there now. This channel can go back to being where we share photos of what we made for dinner. ❤️
