Why did you buy a Blizzard game in 2023?

Playing about 6 hours a day for two week since release, and after that about 1-2 hours a day I’ve experienced no server issues. The only exception was this past weekend ddos.
This game is phenomenal, with yesterday’s patch became even better, I like multiplayer aspect and just randomly doing some event with a bunch of ppl instead of being on my lonesome.

Why are ppl so insistent on hating on this game is beyond me. Overwatch complaints at least have some merit

The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

Jesus Christ. I don’t watch tech YouTube anymore, I just come back when I need to buy a pc part or something. Back when I did, Linus seemed like a guy with integrity, I guess I was wrong.

It first started with buying stock or w/e in that laptop company and stating that he personally won’t review their or anyone else’s laptops. But it didn’t matter, even back then. You and your wife are sole owners of media outlet that would review those laptops. You gotta pull out of that part or not invest.

And now all of the things Steve said. Cross brand promotions, not giving a fuck about their tests accuracy, constant errors.
But to me the most egregious thing is always Linus reaction. Condescending, hostile, with superiority starting with “uh, eh guuuuuuuyyyys, I can’t….” When he thinks of any arguments followed by doubling down either by “I’m experienced” or “it costs ME money to be accurate”. Like, bitch I don’t give a fuck, it’s your job to give accurate, trustworthy information. And Luke just sits there like a Linuses bitch he is.

And the waterblock cooler example is so infuriating. He tested a prototype, on a card that the makers said they don’t know if it would work, and shat on it. Would he use i don’t care know, cooler made for am4 board on intel whatever their socket name is? (One that doesn’t have adapters or something)

He either was always like that but didn’t have enough clout to act like it or money really changes a man. Guy is no longer the “buddy fellow tech nerd guy” he still would like ppl to see him as. But his fanboys won’t see the truth and it will always stay like this

Authentic Polish Pierogi with Potatoes and Cheese (Pierogi Ruskie)

Reply in thread

Pole here with Ukrainian wife. Actually it’s a traditional Ukrainian dish.
Ruskie has nothing to do with Russia, it’s how the land was named in the past (ruś).
Russia actually took the name for themselves as a part of the assimilation tactic. That’s when Ukrainians started calling themselves Ukrainians to differentiate themselves.

Say to my wife that pierogi are polish dish or have anything to do with Russia and she will rip your head off

Regardless of if we have a written warranty, we could just break that agreement, companies do it all the time. So if you have a problem, you either trust us to make you whole or you don't

I just checked and LTT store sells stuff to EU. So I don't know how it is in canada or us. But we don't do that "trust me bro" shit here. It's either "fix my shit up bro" or "imma rat you out to consumer protection office which will fuck you up bro"
I'm seeing more and more that this guy is a prime example of what folks started pointing out recently cause of elon musk. Rich people think they know everything because they managed to get rich/are rich

Creating game architecture

Reply in thread

I do not want to recreate 40 years of best practices, I want to understand them and try to implement them. That’s why I’m asking for some reading, educational material. It’s not that I’m averse to using an engine, it’s just not something I set out to do

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart peaks at less than 9k concurrent players on Steam, third worst PC launch for PlayStation game

Reply in thread

I would add to that lack of support for DualShock haptic feedback and adaptive triggers over Bluetooth on pc. So we are paying full price for in some ways inferior product

I played rift apart on ps5 cause I got it for free with the console. And while it’s an enjoyable game I started playing it and not sold immediately because I was curious about DualShock features(and they are good in this game)

Overwatch 2 is now the #1 of the worst Steam games

Reply in thread

I’m sorry but you are wrong. Role queue is a godsend to this game, most of the competitive community loves it. No longer you have to pray that your team comp will look somewhat decent instead of everyone instalocking dps and one poor shmuck going for support.

Besides, you don’t want role queue? It’s still there, open competitive exists

Silo Seasom 1 Finale Discussion

  1. It’s his body. The tape is the answer. When making everybody’s suits they used IT tape to seal the suit. That tape let in radiation or whatever and killed people sent to clean. In Julie’s case they used superior mechanics tape that properly sealed her suit allowing her to survive
  2. I would wager entrance to other silos

Best things to host on a raspberry pi

Reply in thread

Dunno, maybe it was storage. I had a SATA to USB3 drive hooked up to it. Couldn't have been network. I got some old office PC with i3-6100 for free, hooked it up to the same cable, same router port and everything is working mostly smooth now, on similar drive but connected directly to SATA

[D4] Diablo IV Patch Notes | Patch 1.1.0a

Jesus christ what are they thinking? They nerfed the damage AND defense across the board, they nerfed CC immunity, amount of aspects that gets added is laughable, some malignant hearts are trash, but all of them take jewelery slot(imo they should've added slot to jewelery to accomodate this). Add to that the reports people make that world tiers are level locked and you cannot unlock them even if you do capstone dung under leveled.

ON TOP OF THAT they did not implement any QoL changes. Even something as simple as "refund all" for paragon board so we can try different builds easier. I don't even care about gold cost of these.

I originally played druid, got him to 82, tried both storm wolf and pulv bear builds. I wanted to try sorc if they buffed him a bit in the season, if not then Necro. Now? Now I'm not sure if I'm gonna play this season. Maybe a bit until BG3 comes out because I have nothing to play, but even that is uncertain
