Favorite Phantom Liberty Character (Spoilers)

[Delilah_]

Hey chooms, just wanted to say how much i loved Songbird from PL. Her Character is so well written and cryptic that playing both paths lets you know so much on her. She seems like someone who made a mistake by reaching over the black wall and is living with its consequences (I know Myers pushed for that, and that she could've obviously refused and went AWOL).

Spoiler: mention of a drug related condition

I relate to this situation as someone who has gotten Drug induced Psychosis from like the 4th joint lmao. terrible luck i know. And still lives with it to this day.

My feeling is that even if she didn't go with the NUSA she'd still end up with Blackwell related consequences, her visions that you can see when doing the Core path show that she'd stay hooked to the Net for weeks. I would have given her the cure regardless, because I'm an altruist (my loss I know) but I'd also hate to kill Johnny.

Here are some screenshots of her :

What about? Who is your favorite character from Phantom Liberty? Share your screenshots if you have taken any. Have a good day/night chooms

Sick shots, my machine is old so I'm running the game on Low sadly, you can see the difference in textures, shadows, anisotropy etc... So Mi is the queen!

My answer is obvious. With songbird as a close second.

Question regarding high definition photos on this forum:
I wish it was possible to have a setting for this forum, where I can reduce the definition of the photos that are posted directly into threads (instead of Thumbnail option where you click to expand).

I like to check out the thread topics for 'Share your v' or 'screenshots' or 'general games screenshots'. But all of the massive photo files directly in the threads, my 3 year old computer cannot load it quickly. Takes a really long time to load photos.

Please understand I am not complaining about the nice photos in THIS thread here. I'm actually stealing them to use as wallpapers ^^.
I just, I wish there was a way to lower resolution. I guess I need to buy a new computer.

If I buy a new pc, what should i focus on to load huge photos faster? the main CPU chip? SD RAM? nvidia graphics accelerator?
i am very dumb when it comes to computer technology and hardware. i am old.

Hey there choom! first of all thanks for replying to this thread!

as for the pictures, my laptop is 5 years old, and it loads them slow too, i have a HDD 5400RPM which is considered slow slow. it's mainly your internet bandwidth. it's 10 Mbps Download 2Mbps Upload for me (third world country) so they take a while to load for me as well. idk what your bandwidth is, but if it's less than 20 Mbps Download, it'll take 3-4 seconds to load a 4K pic that's between 6-8MB.
you could try an internet speed test and DM to me (as it would be off topic for this thread)

Aurore is so cool i agree, it's so sad how things went. she didn't deserve that. her style is insane. her herself is a mystery.

Yeah, Songbird can take that place. Though wish she would fight alongside V in the flesh and wouldn't become such a liability.

We have a super strong high-end PC system and IT takes a long time to load all those pics in. Reason for me also to avoid those threads. People can easily resize the images. It's only a fact that they don't.

The main CPU. It decides the general performance of your rig. Know however that the stronger CPUs can require a certain specific motherboard.

"Low End Gpu With High End CPU

When it comes to building a powerful computer system, the graphics processing unit (GPU) and central processing unit (CPU) are two critical components. Usually, people invest in high-end GPUs to ensure smooth graphics performance in gaming or graphic-intensive tasks. However, there is an interesting phenomenon of pairing a low-end GPU with a high-end CPU. How does this unconventional combination work, and what benefits does it offer?

Historically, GPUs have been the primary workhorses for graphics-intensive tasks, while CPUs focused on general-purpose computing. However, as technology evolved, CPUs started to incorporate integrated graphics, although their performance may not match dedicated GPUs. Pairing a low-end GPU with a high-end CPU can be advantageous in certain scenarios, such as when you prioritize computational tasks that heavily rely on the CPU, like video editing or 3D rendering. By offloading the graphics workload to the low-end GPU, the high-end CPU can focus on its strengths, resulting in a more balanced system that maximizes overall performance."

Wow, i didn't know the CPU had that much of a role for loading pictures on threads on the internet, now it makes sense why it takes a while to load an image already installed in my PC. thanks for the fact choom!

I agree with you on Songbird, though she did use her Netrunner skills a fair bit. but yeah, would've been nice if she would have more with V in the flesh.

I think it's almost all due to the server(s) the forum is hosted. So it doesn't really matter how powerful your computer is... except if you have a very, very old computer or a very, very slow net connexion.
Personally, I let my captures in 4K, but convert them into .jpeg instead of .png and also use an app to "optimize" them. From around 10-15MB to generally less than 1MB.
I could be wrong, but thumbnails do not seem to help anyway, because screenshots seem to be loaded in full size before being "resized".

ah ok. thank you. now i don't feel so bad. sorry for going off topic

It would be good if the forums had a 5 picture limit per post like the videos.
