Aight? 🤷‍♂️

🤷‍♂️ igaf to be honest, it’s not some hill I’m dying on regarding this.

But thanks for trying to explain or whatever though. You’re a bro. Or sis, or other. 👊 A good person!

What are they saying with that, then? It’s a nothing statement without that implication.

It’s not a valid argument for “it’s fine” either.

And im giving you a context “why everyone does it”.

Alright, tell it to the person who has an issue with the trailer.

I only had an issue with the argument. If you have a valid argument, give it to the person who should hear it. It isn’t me.

Again, I’m not the one moaning about the trailer. Talk to the one who has an issue with the trailer about this. Thank you for your consideration.

… So how did the trailer make you feel?

😄😉

Nah kidding I get your point, although we could argue that there is merit in doing something a certain way because everyone is doing it that way.

Yeah, I mean, sure, it definitely depends on what it is. But if we want to use such an argument, there’d have to be a reason attached as well. Like, “everyone does it, and it’s for a reason, namelyyyyyy…”, you know what I mean?

The argument on its own is just empty. 🤷‍♂️

you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be

I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.

I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.

👍👍

your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer

My critique is of the argumentative style of “everyone does it, so it’s fine”.

That’s it.

🤷‍♂️ I guess I’m only interested in certain types of trailers. And that’s the real argument right there, which is valid, that there are different kinds of trailers. That’s perfectly fine.

But my main gripe, regardless of the topic, is to say “everyone does it so it’s fine”. There are very few instances of that being a valid argument. I can think of linguistics as one example. 😄

Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers

You’re literally using the exact same logic here, again. We can again distill the argument and these examples as, “everyone does it so it’s not a bad thing”.

Secondly, it doesn’t have to be a “problem”, sure, but it’s not a good representation of what to expect. Nobody’s saying it’s a “huge problematic practice”. It’s just annoying. The best trailers to me are just… gameplay. Anything else would be a teaser.

Thirdly, it’s not really “suddenly”. It’s been like this for a long time and I haven’t ever liked it. It’s just the first time you’re hearing me say it.

Fourth…ly? One is allowed to feel like it is a problem, too, if that would indeed be how one felt about it. 👍

Always someone chiming in with this fallacy. “This is how everyone does it!” That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. 😕

I’m on my second playthrough, this time with my kids. Didn’t think I needed another playthrough but I’m having fun. 😅 At one point I’ll boot up TotK for the first time since buying it on release day. 😎

You didn’t like Breath of the Wild?

I like him and the format, am over 35. 🙋‍♂️

😆 Awesome. Never too late though, enjoy!

Right on! Welcome to the family! 🤌🤌

even if I were to just upgrade my whole system tomorrow, it wouldn’t be for using W11.

Right, but if you did, you’d pick W11, I assume, if you’re a Windows user? No reason to choose an abandoned version.

🤷‍♂️ I bought my old PC in 2020, got Windows 10 for it. 11 was a free upgrade via Windows Update, so I just updated. I’m here wondering how old everyone’s PC is who are gamers. Bought a new PC this year, left my Windows M.2 stick in the old PC, did a new installation of Arch in the new PC, and left the old Arch install as a media server.

Are people daily driving and gaming on like 10-year old systems? When did those TPM modules become common in CPUs?

Same boat, ~20-year user, really happy to see so much development around Linux. Great apps, environments, gaming, system light/dark mode, etc etc. Just enjoying the ride of it growing into a modern desktop.

My latest venture is Niri, which I think I’ll stay with for a long while if everything progresses in the right direction (or stays unchanged, it’s already great).

What would that accomplish though?

You know what, I believe that. 👌 Wouldn’t at all be surprised.

What’s the alternative? They have to obey the law, right? What should they have done? How is this “bowing to Kremlin” as if they’re kneeling, waiting to suck their dick or something.

Genuinely curious about these questions.

I’m wooshing. Is that some kind of test where you live?

I’m just saying in certain games setting your custom resolution could be considered cheating.

For example in competitive first person shooters, if you play on a 16:9 monitor, and you set the resolution to be a ratio much, much wider than your monitor, you will see all the way around the player in 360°. This is how graphics projection math works. Or it did when I last dabbled in writing a graphics engine.

So I can understand some games not allowing certain odd ratios and FOVs in combination.

Otherwise I agree, of course we should be able to set a resolution that matches our monitors that we have. 😊👍

The 9070 had two names? You’re talking about the regular, the XT, and GRE?

Well good thing the 9070 series is the series that is trying to adopt a more Nvidia-like naming scheme.

I dunno… Depends on the game. If you make a window wide enough you’d start seeing what’s behind you, and that might not be very fair in certain games lol. It might not be very easy to aim but that can be learned. 😅

Thank you for the detailed response 🥰 Lovely bit of trivia

Next time in the title 😉

Exactly. OP posting to the very general “games” community with freaking abbreviations and shit.

Here’s a message to OP:

WTFDYTPKWTFYAMYDMF?!

I’m watching a playthrough of HL: Alyx right now and I’m about two hours in, and it’s really disappointing that there’s no crowbar. Or similar. What a staple to miss in such a game.

Gosh, stop trying so hard to make me not want play your game, I can only take so much!

Stop assuming everyone is US please.

I didn’t, and usually don’t, so that’s all good and fine. 👍

Healthcare around the world is stingy.

I will highly doubt any place would do this. Nobody making these decisions knows enough about computer performance, I bet you. Government decision makers don’t, for sure. 😆

You think healthcare businesses (I forget healthcare is a business in America, sorry) would be caught using Steam Machines as work stations? They would risk ridicule. Wouldn’t be taken seriously.

Maybe a startup would do it. If they did development of smaller shit like apps or simple web dev. But yeah no, no business would do this because businesses need support deals.

I should play this. I bought it, after all.

I read every word. 😉

But yeah, it just goes to show that the mass production vs caring and dedicated production really are playing in different leagues altogether. Mass produced stuff is just shit no matter how expensive, and this controller-centric company blows the big dogs out of the water for a third, quarter, eighth of the price!

Anyway, I hope you get more free time for yourself soon, so you can enjoy it more. 😌

I’m super pleased with it, rock solid performance. Very snappy input lag as well, not even detectable, and I play games that require very precise timing on inputs.

Wish I could disagree with you on the durability of the premium controllers from Xbox. So bad. I got the Elite 2 like I said, but I exchanged it for a new one literally an amount of times that I can’t even remember, and it took place over almost a year. The issue was with its sticks. They were either drifting or had some kind of gap where the stick wouldn’t sit still in its socket. Both left and right sticks, or one or the other.

Eventually I had enough and settled on one that had very little of the issue, on the left stick (less used), because I just wanted to freaking play my games because I was without a controller all the time sending them back.

8Bit? Third of the price, first controller sent to me was flawless.

I’m not experiencing an issue with charging though. In what way do you notice that it doesn’t charge fully? The charge light never switches off?

The 8bitDo Ultimate 2 was like $40–50 or something, so cheap compared to the Elite 2. I got the dirt cheap 8Bit just to try it out for giggles because I’d never tried TMR sticks before. Bro I haven’t touched the Elite 2 since unpacking the 8bit.

Oh SNAP
