Right around the time the the former EA CEO moved to being the Unity CEO.

Same dude that thought they should charge players money for ammo in micro-transaction format.

Dudes a shit lord.

• No shitty P2W mechanic bullshit.
• Full game on release.
• no always online requirement.
• not completely unplayable at launch tripple A title.
• content amount is worth its purchase value.
• accessable or soon to be accessable on majority of gaming platforms.
• community mod support, which drives improvements and long term playability.

And last but highly important:

• Development transparency on what the game is and where its headed.

Starfield has its issues for sure. But anyone rating it worse than FO76 is absolutely delusional. Or atleast if we're comparing launch vs. launch. Not launch vs. 5 years of active update post launch.

Edit: i mean my point literally. I have played both and this is my opinion about both games. This isn't meant to be a debate about rating systems nor the games lol.

Linus always came off to me as one of those people who shouldn't be mangement. Idk, just watching him in videos feels frustrating, and he seemed to belittle his employees in a joking/non-joking manner.

Some of the other "techs" do seem to be very knowledgeable, and i feel bad for them to have to work under a man child.

Yuup, this is why i started pirating again, which i haven't done in a long while.

By posting memes on Lemmy to piss off Americans, so they start to take formative action after they research the memes context and realise they don't have free health care, cheap/free post secondary education, and mandatory holidays like the EU bros.

Tldr: Post them memes buddy!

Edit: guys... this is c/memes. Y'all are taking this way too literally lmao. Lighten up a bit ffs.

Im still waiting on the world to end since 2012.

People spend way to much time complaining about how games are not perfect in their eyes, instead of taking it at face value. They get literally outraged when a game doesn't function exactly how they want, instead of finding a game they actually enjoy.

Back in the day we'd just pick whatever looked cool at the store and hoped it was decent. People have the right to complain, but its gotten out of hand and modern gamers are whiney as all hell.

Edit: just want to clarify, I'm mainly refer to post launch and established games. If a game promises somthing and is released half baked, 100% people are in the right to complain.

Man the transparency about this sort of thing from Larian is great!

"And my axe!"

Cat starring out window: " LOOK HOOMAN THERES BIRDS!"

Cat runs to back door: "lemme out, lemme out, lemme out"

lets cat outside, car vrooms past 20 seconds later

Scaredy cat gets spooked by car: "Lemme in, lemme in, lemme in"

cat proceeds to explain what i assume is a tall tale of heroics, birds, and loud mechanical beasts he defended the hoomans from

Repeat above a few times a day.

Custom.

Way of the shadow monk. Named Naruto Uchiha. He's a dwarf with pineapple shaped yellow hair. Its a monstrosity built purely to meme with my friends playthrough. Its great.

You'd have to ask Larian support. I have yet to run into a save corruption issue in over 100hrs so far.

Does it corrupt all your saves or specifically just the latest?

I don't know a single person nor do I think most people would hold small studios and indie devs to the same level as Larian, which has 400 people working on BG3.

What's embarrassing is the AAA devs making excuses, trying to use this concept as an excuse for half backed lackluster AAA releases. When most of them have released great games in the past. Most of which likely isn't even the individual devs (people) fault, but rather their corporate leaders and shareholders pushing for quick profits. Which has resulted in a toxic release environment.

People will hold devs accountable, and they should.

Does it have bugs, of course, nothings perfect.

Can't say too many games on the scale of BG3 came out this year that can check as many boxes. It takes GotY for me as well personally.

But how else would we practise lightsaber dueling techniques...

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don't understand this. Even if they use "pro" apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

For real dude, there's no decent sized mid sized pickups anymore. I drove my '99 dodge Dakota forever and loved the size! It even had a V8 compared to most of the newer land yachts with 4 bangers and v6s.

I don't need a block on wheels, I just need a smaller pickup because I camp and haul shit enough to justify needing one vs a car or suv.
