I was gonna say, what the fuck kind of credentials is that ?

Cyberpunk moment

Yes there was drama, but I feel like you’re downplaying just how bad they overpromised and underdelivered. As a huge CDPR fan since The Witcher 2, (I even preordered TW3 collectors edition the first day it was available for preorder, even though I usually don’t preorder). That release eroded a lot of the trust I had in them, even though I didn’t preorder this one since I could smell the bs from miles away.

I actually got the game for like 6 bucks on Steam during the last sale and I’m now having a blast playing through the actually stable and release-ready version. But I feel like I can still see the scars of the rushed development on the game’s main story progression. Like, I’m convinced that act 1 was supposed to be much longer and more fleshed out. Because I can’t explain why a game that has quite literally the most immersive dialogue sequences in the entire industry (in a gigantic open world FPS, of all things) would have you watch a montage of you doing a bunch of cool things with a very cool character instead of actually having you playing through them. Also you can’t convince me that montage was literally supposed to be a vertical slice of act 1 but they had to “salvage” it and actually put it 1:1 in the game because they were legally on the hook for releasing it as an early story trailer with a giant “scenes captured in engine” text.

They might go back on the “preorder worthy” list if they can abstain from blowing up the next game’s hype to the moon and ride it regardless of the actual state of development. And burning out all their best talent on crunch death marches.

Edit: oh, also I have to rant about this trend I’m seeing a lot recently where uninformed gamers are now blaming the… publisher for all of this, apparently not realizing that they are self-published.

Yes European lawmakers can vote and pass laws without going through this citizens initiative system, if that’s what you’re asking. Every country has elected officials so we can also talk to them and threaten to not vote for them. It’s more like this system I think

Uh I think we should definitely “keep alive” the literal millennia of human knowledge and culture that went into horse riding. Also they’re invaluable in case technology/society regresses too much.

I had some nice ones but my cat ate them. I suppose they feel really good to chew

Dying of diabetes to own the libs. Literally the kind of shit we were joking about to mock his voters.

Pretty sure Big Picture uses the exact same interface as the steam deck nowadays, which is a much better experience than the old thing. At least when I stream through Moonlight, I haven’t manually launched big picture in years.

I assume it goes into the case (that’s one of the reasons why the motherboard had standoff screws), and will discharge when the case is plugged back ?

Also give that radiator a good whiff of canned air while the fan is off. Dust can accumulate there too.

That’s a lot of bathrooms for a family. I’d say 2 bathrooms is already pretty comfortable, and also less cleaning.

Isn’t it true that once a car is built, it’s basically better for the environment to drive it until its wheels fall off instead of scrapping it to buy any new one (even electric) though ? He’s right that a lot of the time these schemes are thinly veiled auto industry handouts to stimulate the economy, instead of actual environmental regulations.

Yep, the Windows compositor is actually a pretty big resource hog all things considered. Plus it fucks with frame pacing

What’s the source? I can’t quite put my finger on it but that doesn’t look like Mignola’s style

And I hope you realize I wasn’t being entirely serious.

Look, all I can say to keep it short is that I know piratesoftware is full of shit. I was merely half-jokingly pointing out that imo, he is the last person you’d want to support you in that kind of argument.

Hey, if two separate people look at the same issue separately and raise some of the same concerns there’s a possibility that the concerns are legitimate

I agree, but if one of these persons is piratesoftware I have to do a double take. In fact I originally understood Chet’s position but now that I know this guy agrees with him I’m not so sure.

If you didn’t know, the guy got into Blizzard thanks to nepotism, worked QA and security, got out, and started an indie game that’s been in development hell for 10 years (but he is selling it !). Maybe he knows some stuff about QA and security but as an actual professional gamedev, I have strong opinions about the shit he says in that domain and the sycophants he surrounds himself with to avoid being called out.

I thought parenting a cat would prevent that but that mf yells at me every morning too

I think Brelok is the one that did the eating here

Brb, appraising all my tacky LARP jewelry
