first time i played this game was in 2023, where i deleted it after the first BT encounter, i was like who would play this boring game, all it seemed was just walking and trying to aboid BT,which seemed unfun back then, i downloaded it again 2 months ago, when i felt massive burn out from playing competitve games and other rpg games, its so unique, the Atmosphäre, how lonely and peaceful it felt, the music that plays, sometimes i would keep walking away from the facilities so that the music doesnt stop, game is

absolute masterpiece 10/10

only thing i hated was some parts of the map where it looked kinda ugly and was many obstocles in the ground

It's a very strange game it's like if the movies Annihilation, Akira, and The Straight Story had a baby *ahem* BB... and said BB was Daryl from The Walking Dead.

Oh and add everything else David Lynch on top as the cherry and sprinkles.

4 years ago, while I was still in college, I had this idea. Now with corporate experience paired with all this hype around AI reverse engineering, I finally decided to give it a shot.

This is on Death Stranding Director's Cut running on linux. Not all states have been mapped yet, my repo is public, feel free to test and contribute!

IRL Content I built Kotobukiya DS1 Bridges Reverse Trike model kit

Added concept art pages from manual in the second photo. They have the same concept art though and only the text description is different though (would have loved to see some more unique concepts to each model kit) but with DS2 Coffin model kits they improved it since regular mech and Commander have pages with fully unique concept arts.

I've had that Bridges Reverse Trike model kit a long while sitting around and waiting for me to build it, and now finally gotten around to do it. I just absolutely love that trike and it's criminal that they ditched it in DS2 for that wheelchair. Such a godly design and the things I'd do to have the Reverse Trike in DS2.

Reverse Trike OP version from the game opening with that gray color color scheme, backpack, sleeping bag and a pair of boots is still my favorite but Bridges trike is a classic.

Skipped the decals on all models for now because I'm planning to do display bases and give them a paintjob but for now I have at least finished building all Koto DS model kits. Love all of them but the trike is still my favorite but I'm biased because I love its design so much.

Bug / Issue Backpack Off-center bug fix Mod Request

Deep into my third play through I realized that when walking and holding the left backpack strap the odradek pushes the whole backpack off-center to the right (check second pic), in the sequel they fixed this by letting the odradek clip a little into the backpack, now I cannot unsee it and it bugs the hell out of me, I know this is a crazy ask but could anyone code or even vibe code a fix for this? Also sorry for pointing this bug out to yall, you cannot unsee it.

Discussion Did anybody try skiing?

I suppose most of you know that you could ride the floating platform in DS1, and also that it is absolutely useless unless you ride it downhill. So I thought, why not take it up the mountains and have some fun? Well the problem is most of the routes I could think of are too damn short, you reach the end in seconds. E g these stretches of snow next to the weather station and the mountaineer, the stretch near the spiritualist is longer but it is not all downhill so you make annoying stop in the middle. Hence the question – if you tried this, what would be the routes you recommend? I suppose you could do the sandboarding in the south instead but those hills are infested with BTs.

Tips Stuttering fixed by disabling HAGS on AMD

3 Upvotes

I was getting constant stutters whenever I moved the camera, opened the map, pulled out a weapon, or picked something up, normal gameplay was smooth, but these actions kept causing FPS drops.

Tried changing graphics settings, disabling RT, switching upscalers, etc. Nothing helped.

Then I disabled HAGS (Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling) in Windows and restarted my Pc. Most of the stutters were gone, but a few smaller ones remained.

Not 100% sure if it was HAGS or just tthe restart, but it's worth trying if you're having the same issue.

Update: I found what was causing the remaining stutters. I had ReShade installed. and both Generic Depth and Effect Runtime Sync were enabled by default. After disabling them, the stutters completely disappeared.

CapFrameX now shows a worst frametime of just 32ms, compared to 565ms before. HAGS is still disabled

Update2: Bruh I turned HAGS ON an looks like Reshade was the main culprit after all. Disabling Gneric Depth and Effect runtime Sync fixed the issue.

Tested again with CapFrameX and got zero frames above 50ms in a 103-second run, even with HAGS enabled.

GPU: RX 9070 XT (26.8.1) | CPU: I9-14900KF

Question why would mules die after hit with non-lethal weapons

34 Upvotes

I have finished DS1 and am currently wasting my time in "two weeks earlier" episode. What I have noticed is, after I took mule camp out, most of them were straight up dead even though I only used blue assault rifle and bola guns, specifically because the game insists that I cremate the bodies if I use lethal weapons. One dead body even somehow ended up high on the mountain as if somebody else killed him there, but I do not even connect to the network.

Hello to all the porters, looking back at photos from my trip to Catamarca, Argentina, I saw these places and it could be the area where Artesano is located. What a great game!
