Most other games will just say something like:
“Some changes require a restart to take effect”
Maybe B4 tried something new where instead of a 2 minute restart, it fucks up your game for up to 15 minutes?
Like, shit is unusual, but I don’t have the game, I’m just going off what I see in articles.
They’re hoping people will get sucked into the game, and stop caring the graphics suck.
If you jump straight from an optimized game to B4, it’s going to suck. They want you to keep playing till your brain adjusts.
But if you’re coming out of 120fps twitch shooter…
It’s gonna take a lot longer than 15 minutes to get used to AI upscaled fake frame 60fps instead
Gearbox has also issued a piece of advice to PC gamers that to me reads like an effort to prevent players from making knee-jerk reactions to the game’s performance as soon as they’ve changed their settings: “Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC’s performance has changed.”
Pretty sure if that’s really happening, it’s a unique problem
Maybe if you’re changing just resolution, but for 99% of setting changes it has nothing to do with shaders.
There’s a long list of things neoliberalism has fucked up in America…
Someone saying mainstream broadcast late night is “counter culture” just highlights how much people forgot what that phrase even means
They are as mainstream as shit can get.
In drawing up the guidelines, the health officers of the four states — all of whom are medical doctors — said they consulted top medical organizations and subject matter experts. They said the new recommendations were also intended to help prevent strain on hospitals this winter by reducing community transmission and cases of serious illness in the states.
A year from now there’s gonna be hearings accusing “the left” of biological warfare against red states because that could be the only explanation for why they’re about to get decimated by common diseases.
People aren’t as hardy as pre-covid, every respiratory disease hits harder
Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right.
Considering the shooter was/is a far right Internet troll…
There’s a pretty good chance he just latches onto these crazy ass conspiracies and says Israel made him do it, just “for the lulz”
What’s really big about this that no one has been really talking about tho, is how someone else shot a bunch of school kids the same day, and no one gave a fuck.
Lots of people with nothing to lose want to be famous or at least infamous. And shooting children barely even makes the city papers anymore.
Kill a CEO or a fascist tho…
And you’re headline news for months/years, every late night host, podcaster, and even the president knows your name and cares deeply about your motivations.
If someone wanted to manufacture a bunch of copycats, they couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.
That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.
The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.
But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.
Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.
The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money
Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.
It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations
Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless
But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.
When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.
Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.
He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.
There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
Government is not answer, God is.
Turn your full faith and trust to our Almighty God and our Savior Jesus.
Tighten your circle around your family and protect them at all times.
They really just can’t comprehend that they’re violent far right religious extremists…
Can they?
Like, if you translated what Christian Republicans and the Taliban wanted into a neutral 3rd language, I really don’t think people would be able to tell which is which.
These dumbfucks don’t even realize “God” and “Allah” are literally the same fucking dirty and they agree on 99.9999%.
It’s like when one far right extremists shoots another far right extremist in the neck because there’s 2-3 details they disagree on.
If anyone isn’t exactly the same, they’re “them” and an enemy.
If we did actually split the country, their side would just keep picking new groups to run out of their territory until there’s no one left on their side.
He’s an absolute muppet, but obviously Republicans aren’t going to give a shit
He could just sit there and do his raccoon in the headlights stare and never say a word and they’ll still say he’s great.
He’s not there to stop crim or terrorism, he’s there to wild the FBI as a weapon against anyone who doesn’t like trump.
What an idiot…
He just insulted all his customers and put “/sarcasm” at the end more like a “just a joke bro” instead of any actual sarcasm.
If facts and critical thinking stopped fascism world war 1 would still be called “the last great war” instead…
Hell, even if just appeasing fascists worked, there wouldn’t have been a world war 2.
But the only way to stop fascism is violence. In a good government, the government does it.
In a fascist government…
It’s usually another country’s military who steps it. And that’s a worse result for everyone involved.
That’s not how any of this works…
The price point is static, $X for a console game.
It’s weirdly like socialism. A game like GTA knows they’ll sell a shit ton of copies for years after release. Likely on multiple console generations. All those customers subsidize each others portion of the development cost.
It’s economics of scale, the greater expected sales, the less profit margin the corporation will accept.
Niche games come with a niche tax. It’s not unique to gaming.
The performance was held at the Paradiso Grote Zaal. The venue released a statement on Sunday saying it “believed in the power of artistic freedom”.
“Music – and especially punk – is an art form that traditionally magnifies anger, discontent, and injustice without a filter,” it said.
“In a world on fire, artists sometimes choose language that sounds confrontational or violent.”
Addressing the singer’s calls for the death of IDF troops, the venue said it shared “the outrage and concern surrounding the genocidal violence taking place in Gaza” and that “Bob Vylan’s raising his voice against this is legitimate and necessary”.
Punk has always been anti-fascist because fascists and punks compete for the same follower base, and overlap is unavoidable unless one side draws a very hard line about what’s acceptable.
The fascists want to be able to say whatever they want under 1st amendment, but have always lost their shit when people say the same shit about fascists the fascists say about innumerable target demographics.
BG3 was insanely cheap tho when accounting for scale. It was easily 2-3 games worth of content for the price of 1 game.
And the reason it was able to achieve the scale it did, was people bought the shit out of it on presale.
I looked and checked, I bought it almost 3 years before it released. Because act 1 was already playable, and already the length of a regular 2020 full release.
Despite “never pre-order a digital good” being sound advice 99.99999% of the time, the studio and IP and it being 20 some years since the last entry made it able to fund its own development.
Expecting anyone else to replicate that absolute perfect storm that allowed for BG3 is just going to lead to constant dissapointment.
Fuentes has been sending his followers to antagonize Kirk for years…
Because they think MAGA should use violence instead of words, and Kirk isn’t extreme enough for them.
He’s not being “framed”, it’s just all the information coming it out makes it look like this is just more maga on maga violence.
We’re all looking for the guy who did this…
In 2022, the women won a court ruling against their own government. South Korea’s Supreme Court ordered the government to compensate dozens of women for the trauma they endured as “comfort women for the U.S. military,” as they were once known. The court found the government guilty of encouraging prostitution for American G.I.s to help bring in badly needed U.S. dollars for the economy and maintain ties with the United States, on which it relied for security. It also said the government forced many women to receive treatment for sexually transmitted diseases in a “systematic and violent” way.
The latest lawsuit, which was filed at a Seoul court on Friday, was the first attempt by the women to hold the U.S. military accountable. The women and their lawyers said that the U.S. military was “the real culprit” in what was a state-sponsored sex trade, even allowing comfort women inside its bases and near its field training grounds.
So, Korea forced them into sexual slavery…
And now some of the victims are suing the US government, because some women managed to get on base, and “near” a training area?
Like, it depends on the base, but for lots of them there’s not really any security. Even if the driver does have to show an ID, they rarely check everyone’s.
It’s absolutely horrible what happened to those women, but this lawsuit won’t work
Everyone needs to cancel Hulu/Disney immediately.
Show them there is a quantifiable cost to their bottom line for siding against free speech.
If money is the only thing they care about, it’s insane to not speak their language.
