I put in the default-48000.mhr from old packages of openal-soft 1.18 scoured from the Interwebs, that made it stop complaining about failing to load the thing.
However it didn't fix the various missing textures on the Linux build, for all of Valve's genuine Linux efforts regarding Proton their own games seem strangely neglected.
Thankfully the Windows build performs flawlessly on plain Wine with DXVK, やはり Linux native wrappers of proprietary operating systems are the future.

Mods reasonably bumplocked the other one since it was just a bunch shitflinging and obviously made with that intention in mind so here's my attempt to make one

As you know, 4chan went down and it will not be coming back for at least a couple of weeks and it's uncertain if it will at all, so to all the newfags, welcome. I will try my best to give you an idea of what to expect from zzzchan as well as some general information. As the other guy said, here's to hoping the mods spot me since this is the most active board and it's where this is most likely to be seen. A thread similar to this one but made by the admin himself can be found here >>>/meta/4978 so you can use that if you want to talk to him directly. The previous thread, if you want to catch up is here >>273796

Key technical features:
>runs on jschan a new ib software which is being actively developed 
>super fast, real time posting and thread updating
>designed to be completely usable without javascript
>5 files allowed per post
>32 MB total filesize limit

SOULSLIKES 

Which is a name I hate but it's sort of become a way to describe the Demons souls, Dark, Elden, ect, flavor of games. So fuck it, I'm going to use it. This also includes non Fromsoft titles that are in a similar vein. 

With the current DLC for ER on the way I've taken to actually trying to beat the game. I find that what happens is that I play it, get bored of my build, then try another one. Recently since picking it back up I've stuck with a dex/fai build and I'm enjoying it enough. I'm tempted eventually to do a build around just using those Carin sword sorceries and not even bother using a weapon but I'm sure I'll change that a few times before I settle on another one.
I got to Radahn and he is slapping my shit because I forgot to level VIG and now I have to go see that one bitch and rebirth or get good but I think there are a few more things around that I can do to get some souls runes to pump my vig up a few points. I don't know how many anons here play but I've always thought it would be fun to try and play together, or at least do a boss or two. 

Speaking of the Soulslike older from titles are Kingsfield and ShadowTower are more than welcome as well as are any other recent games that have come out emulating them, or older titles that are the same. Just talk about gaymes.

>hear that Elden Ring Reforged is a decent overhaul mod
>reading further into it, you can run it + Seamless Co-Op on cracked copies (aka 'it's FREE GAEMS BEEYATCH'), so I considered retardproofing some mods and getting some Anons together for a hardcore runthrough later in the year when I've got time free
>clearly adds a lot of stuff, but as a baseline, I check in on the "anti-cheese changes" to see the kind of modders they are, since I'm aleady quite familiar with how to break the basegame over my knee
<Giant Crusher RKRS seemingly got kneecapped by converting it to a default quality ash, but Anchor RKRS is practically untouched aside from a blanket RKRS duration change
<Comet Azur setup is practically useless (major damage nerf, major mana increase, major range decrease, now requires a huge stamina cost, Cerulean Tear is no longer infinite mana and other parts of the setup have been drastically lowered, along with all bosses immediately prioritizing aggro onto the caster) to the tune there is literally no reason to ever use it any more
<The Rotdog is even more of an earlygame roflstomp summon due to Spirit Ash rework that tries to make them "less broken" by initially not pulling aggro (in turn meaning the rotdog can apply rot even more freely)
<every weapon can now take grease, so every weapon that scales with occult is now a discount / better Ripple Crescent Halberd (my personal pick for the most broken weapon in the game, if it's unchanged from what it was pre-DLC). Morgott's Cuved Sword (another sleeper-broken weapon) also got even more buffs, which is a massive red flag as stupendously brokenly OP to me
<all catalysts have been borked because all scaling is now linear and there's reduced base effectiveness, on top of all school-based buffs being nerfed across the board (so tl;dr Carian Royal is literally the only good catalyst, instead of each catalyst catering to a different investment range or niche in the offhand)
>etc
Man I hate this shit. I'm not against the removal of cheese, but there's a line that's crossed where it's no longer balance and more dev-vendettas. Most of the difficulty just seem to come from blanket rebalances and movement / aggro adjustments, and the only anti-cheese is the most low-level basic shit possible, ignorant of less common but equally busted methods. It goes without saying that shit like Corpse Piler or Troonveil could do with being taken down a peg or two; but if you're just going to delete them from the game entirely, why bother dressing it up any other way. It just speaks to a lack of experience or consideration for design; and while on one hand it sounds fun to figure out all the new broken shit; on the other it's a shame to see, and is almost certainly watered down / unvaried "fun" that doesn't even achieve the goals it sets out to do.

Reforged is literally advertised as an hardcore no-cheese-allowed mod, retards keep praising it as a generalist overhaul when the FAQ clearly states that default settings are meant to be significantly harder than vanilla.
With all of that said, last I checked it out Comet Azur was still very very good, 100-0'd Mohg without really trying.
My biggest issue with it is that it was very much vanilla+ in terms of overall design, and I really hate that stuff.
You could try Convergence, but that's very much on the "stupidly over the top OP" side of things, and it doesn't even try to touch on input reading and other vanilla idiocy.

Also thanks for the webms.

I wish invading had been a more explored aspect in this genre. Hell, even other genres would be interesting. It's genuinely the funniest shit to worm your way into someone's SP/co-op game and just screw with them. It just sucks that in ER every invasion just turns into 2hu where you dodge projectiles from 3 people non stop, doesn't even matter if they're casters or not, thanks to ashes. It just gets very old very quickly. LOTF2 made a feeble attempt at it, and it turned out worse than DeS/DaS1 invading. Why am I cursed with the invading autism?

You wanna know what really grinds my gears? When the dialogue ends in a game but you have no indication that it ended. You just end up standing there like a retard until you press a button and realize you can move around. Oh yeah and also, I hope whoever invented those segments where you walk behind a guy while he talks chokes on a peanut. You're never the same speed he is and you have to stop every 2 seconds.

Use this thread to complain about stupid shit you see in games; no matter what it is.

>The 2-pass process I mainly used above also doesn't do optimal bitrates by itself, but the 1-pass CRF method seems more generically applicable for a given resolution and does come up with its own filesize. The 2-pass method is more for imageboard autism where it needs to fit a very specific filesize.
What I mean by optimal is it doesn't try to guesstimate how much entropy is in a video and adjust its constant to reduce wasted bits, or otherwise try to be smart about its filesize target. When you have a target it usually doesn't mean "use this bitrate so the total file size is X", it means "I don't want the filesize to be bigger than X". If you encode a 10 second reaction and use -l 32, it will give you a 10 second reaction video that takes up 32MB. That's obscene.

Hungering rift is a nice sidegrade for heavy blaster that has 2000u range even under SO, that many front facing IRs and an ion pulsar or two makes for a hell of a Thunderhead zapper. And it's not half bad as a swarm ship either.

Igor's Lab uncovers 'hotspot issue' affecting all RTX 50-series GPUs — says it could compromise graphics card longevity

>Igor's Lab has discovered a worrying trend among all Nvidia Blackwell RTX 50-series graphics cards, including even faux-budget GPUs like the RTX 5060 Ti. According to a lengthy blog post the outlet published, most if not all RTX 50-series AIB partner cards are allegedly prone to high-temperature hotspots in the power delivery area, which could potentially damage these graphics cards after extended heavy use.
>The problem lies in the construction of power delivery systems for the affected graphics cards. Igor's Lab states that several components that make up the power delivery system, such as the FETs, coils, drivers, and traces connecting everything together, are grouped too close together, creating temperatures that can potentially deteriorate the power delivery system over the course of a card's life, poten
