I think vendors being open 24/7 was a quality of life choice. Different planets work on different time-scales. In skyrim, you fast travel from Riverwood to Whiterun, and it only takes a few in-game hours. You leave Riverwood at day and likely load into Whiterun at day as well, so shops and quest-givers are more likely to be up and open.

In Starfield, the day/night cycle and the distances are so different and vast that every time you jumped anywhere it would be a 50/50 on it being night and you having to find a bed or chair to wait or not. I think that would get tedious, so the shoddy solution is that everything is open 24/7.

You’re enjoying Cyberpunk, but Starfield was bland to you? Night City is sparse and empty as hell.

As an aside, the corpo storyline in Starfield is miles ahead of the corpo sroryline in Cyberpunk.

Google search is less than useful nowadays. Google assistant seems to be Google’s inbred idiot cousin. DDG doesn’t seem to be any better. Most of my searches give the same clickbait results that google does.

Honestly, outside of Google Maps, is there any legitimate value to any google product? Is there a single search engine that is brave enough to give 0 results and also literally parses what you’re asking instead of valuating against what the advertisers want you to see?

I dream daily of Google imploding, and every single investor at that useless company going immediately bankrupt and destitute for the disgusting, addled, brain-malware they push.

Spite always creates a better system.

You should probably have an SSD in 2023.

Your logic is right, but what he’s meaning is that capitalism exacerbates poverty. When homes, food, healthcare become commodities the people that can’t afford the new norm HAVE to do what they can to survive.

Yes, some-to-most shoplifters may be shoplifting for less than survival reasons, but in the same way many would argue that capital punishment risks the many at the expense of a few, villifying and prosecuting shoplifters risks the legitimate survival of a lot of people.

It’s a pretty arbitrary problem, isn’t it?

Oonga boonga wants his royalty checks for having first drawn a circle 25,000 years ago.

How would they credit the artists? Generative AI is trained on thousands and millions of images and data points from equally numerous artists. He might as well say, “I give credit to humanity.”

Another way for him to say “all those things that aren’t white/male/tradwife.”

Hey, look, it’s somebody having a strong opinion about something they’re ignorant about!

Or it’s because many grocery chains used COVID as a reason or excuse to raise prices and refuse to lower them despite supply chains healing, during a time where literally everything a modern human needs to survive becomes nearly unreashable expensive.

But sure, it’s because cops aren’t shooting enough shiplifters.

I mean, I paid like 8 bucks for the game (or however much it was in the indev version) but it’s still shitty and arbitrary.

Second on going for a more budget motherboard. They seem the most likely of any to change acceptable inputs over time. A proper 1080p (preferably 144hz but 60-90 isn’t unacceptable) monitor will give a lot of longetivity.

Have been gaming in front of a 44-inch 4k TV for years (sorry eyes) with no issues. The biggest thing is making sure the TV has some sort of low latency or “gaming” mode that will turn off the TVs post-processing. WITHOUT THAT, the other commenters are right that the input lag may be unplayable.

Sorry, if you want to get to Valentine, you have to get on your horse and fast travel.

At this point, what is functionally the difference between this and The Outer Worlds?

Yeesh

Isn’t that my point? (If battlebit counts as a roblox game)

Isn’t it a roblox game? Or is it just syled like it?

Battlebit?

Basically said what I would have. The app takes work. Work deserves reward. Donations usually aren’t proper reward for work put in. I value the work the dev put in.

It isn’t so fucking cynical.

Rewarding working 60 hours a week of work on a well-built app?

Didn’t you know that every choice you make throughout the day is gambling?

Oh yeah, I always check before wasting my and the worker’s time. I’ll let other people know or be loud about it, too.

Which I recognise and understand, but unfortunately, Disney’s consistent dick-swinging against physical theaters means I have to sit through the credits to ensure I’m not confused when Inspector Gadget shows up in Ant Man 5.

Ok, but if we’re doing that, just don’t force me to sit through 10 minutes of credits. The line cook at a sit-down restaurant doesn’t get their name on the menu. They get paid.

It’s a five year old, and Lara gets graphically, violently killed in the Tomb Raider games.

You mean if Youtube had regularly scheduled maintenance every week?

That seems pretty normal if you want your servers to stay high quality?

Squatters rights lmao.

Okay.

Tencent

Haven’t bought a console outside of a Switch in 15 years. I fail to see how anyone can see the 22nd largest company in the world buying one of the largest games publishers in the world is not going to bring a benefit, and I don’t think Microsoft needs to worry about expanding its cashflow.

Sony has a market cap of 76 billion dollars.

Microsoft has a market cap of 1.9 trillion.

No one knows because Valve hasn’t released sales numbers and I’m not sure what number you would expect me to say that would satisfy whatever you arbitrarily consider a successful product.

You just seem like an Xbox fanboy upset at Sony’s actions, trying to hurt them at the expense of the consumer. It seems immature.

Microsoft, producer of 1 of 4 popular gaming devices, owner of the windows operating system, is in last place?

Lol.

Because consolidation is usually not a good thing.
