 Yep. In all seriousness though, as long as I have 20-30 FPS I'm happy.  I know others like their FPS to the max, though, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. 

FPS is a very opinionated thing, like keyboard vs Controller.

 

 

PC Master Race

True, but some liberty has to be given to the casual gamers of the console.

 

 

 

*Nods head*

 

 

You know what? Enough gamer gawk and onto more pressing matters. Who wants to be the victim?

Dibs.

Any character references?

My Minecraft base is already in a desert but I don't wanna dig that up for reasons.

 

The byproduct is slag, but I have other ways of getting it. The main reason for getting the stuff is for clay, but I remembered that there's a more effective way of getting it.

 

Like I need any more cobblestone; 20 minutes of swinging a silk touch hammer around and I have more than I know what to do with.

 

60FPS... It looks fluid. I actually set the FPS slider to 80FPS, even though my monitor refresh rate is only 60-ish.

 

The victim is a bystander. The story is this: Gem and at least two other ponies are gonna watch her build a computer from scratch, except she leaves to go to the bathroom and so the bystanders are left to stare at the motherboard and video cards. The other thing is that in each panel of the strip, the video card will change shape and brand. It's starting off as an aCtivia (NVidia) card with a blower-style fan (reminiscent of the Titan X's) and from there, I don't know yet.

What? Don't stand in the way of progress, Ganaram! If you don't dig up all the sand, how else will you turn your minecraft world into a depressing industrial wasteland make a profit? 

 

Slag actually sounds really useful. And as long as we're talking about efficiency, making adjustments to your machines or even making new machines costs time and resources. Make sure that it's a wise investment before you commit!

 

Very true. Cobblestone is cheap. 

 

Personally, I can't tell the difference. As long as there's no lag, I'm a okay.

 

Oh. I don't know if I'm the best choice. People will start wondering why a random Eldritch Abomination is in your picture!

Well, I was experimenting in my test world on something that I'm gonna call the Ingotiser. Induction smelters are a no-go because of how much sand they use.

What happened?

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask; Are you using a premade modpack or a homebrew pack?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Premade.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Me.

No robotic-ness is required

 

 

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

Premade.

 

Which pack are you using? If I knew which mods you had available, I could help you to design a more efficient machine.

FTB Infinity, though it's primarily Ender IO and Logistics Pipes that are the important bits.

I've gathered that. I have no idea why though... To me at least, Graphics don't matter as much as the rest of the game. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed with games like Witcher 3 with their really fancy next gen graphics. (Even though it'll look like crap in ten years or so.  ) But other elements such as game play and narrative are more important to me.

Graphics matter to me. I'm annoyed with flickering and pop-in sometimes.

 

Some graphics manage to hold up though.

 

Story is becoming a very important thing to me all of a sudden.

I have to pre-plan my character to respond to things in a characteristic way in RPGs.

Graphics matter to me too! Just not as much as other things. I can deal with really crappy graphics if the story or game play of a game is good enough. And good graphics won't sell me on a game with a poor story or bad game play. 

 

Most do, for me. As long as you can tell what you're supposed to be looking at, I'm fine.    

 

That's a good thing! 

 

I usually make snap decisions without any planning.

Makes sense.

Sometimes you can't. Like, the ship from asteroids looks nothing like a ship.

 

 

That's a good thing!

Indeed.

Probably the best way to play.

But I play specific characters.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Now all I need is to parody the names of video card manufacturers. This is what I have so far:

 

Asus --> Acer

Gigabyte --> Kilobyte

EVGA --> EDVI

Sapphire --> Emerald

Acer is the brand of my monitor.

Yeah, I know. But you've got to cut them some slack. They did the best they could with the little they had to work with.

 

 

I always play as myself! You know, a power hungry maniac bent on dominating the hearts and minds of all sentient life forms! 

 

 

Asus --> Acer

Uh... Acer is already taken.

Yes indeed.

On the other side of the spectrum, the Pac-Man ghosts look just like ghosts.

See, you don't need to roleplay, your personality is enough.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Hey everyone, how are you guys doing? Got off work not long ago, now I am bored a bit.... Meh.

 

Also, a thing got finished the other day.

 

 

 

-boops Ganny- You here?

Something about the neck/head stands out to me and is really odd, but I cant say exactly what....

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Indeed. You should try RPing as yourself too!

I've seen both of those.

 

I have, I might try it again.

Well, have you seen this:

A question: If you're not playing as yourself, who are you playing as?

Yup.

 

My last character was a Special Operations soldier.

He was a stealth character with a pessimistic and selfish viewpoint.

I see... 

 

Wow. What became of him?

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

I never finished his playthrough.

 

I'm waiting for my computer upgrade.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

@,

That sucks. So he's just trapped in the game, waiting for you?

Unfortunate, I know.

 

He really grew on me too.
