  I seem to have struck a nerve there, apologies.

  I don’t think it’s a shit example. It’s the latest I experienced. It’s a good game but hampered technically. Nobody needs to tell me, I’ve been gaming since before dos and grew up with it; I’ve also been working in it for a few decades.

  Look; you could just have a bigger or more gpus with more ram in a pc but if the end result does not significantly look better the question is for what all the effort is.

  And that’s what happened with UE5.

  Yes, maybe in a few years it might look different but it’s also been some time and hasn’t really been worth any of the performance impact.

  And - as said - I see quality impact in UE5 games which I personally can not comprehend in an supposed upgrade.

  However, feel free to disagree.

  Maybe it’s my background in datacenters: of course you can always meet demand with more raw power but it’s a losing fight and the intelligent progress is to optimize and use resources in a clever way.

  At work? Every shit is a browser app now. Hard to organize.

  I really am? (no sarcasm here, honest surprise)

  I thought it’s widespread knowledge that the “upgrade” to UE5 mainly brought a lot of performance loss compared to UE4 while having a signature blurry (or whatever) style which actually worsens the perceived quality.

  For example expedition 33, while it’s style is awesome, it’s performance is absolutely not. It should run flawless on ps5 and on superior pcs but still doesn’t and the fps range is not in line with the hardware capabilities.

  I think I just understood why UE5 sucks that much…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, technologically it is absolutely possible in multiple ways.

  But the tempting possibilities of doing more than that are just too great.

  Interesting and curious!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you in Europe and do you have a Microsoft account configured? Them you’d receive updates until 10/26.

  Does Windows update (not) show that there’s no longer any support?

  Well turning off worked, but 27 minutes later the emergency services turned me back on.

  I once made a squeaking noise with my mouth while exhaling, the meeting members thought it was a fart.🤣

  Ha, indeed I never got into hollow knight and didn’t even find it appealing. Big metroidvania player otherwise. Love dead cells.

  Anyhow, I really like(d) expedition 33, played through on easy. Due to the qte stuff which I wish could be turned off entirely. It’s also a question of accessibility imo.

  But whatever, it worked more or less.

  Have a look into what other countries did with the rise of nazis.

  Business liked it.

  As a German, what do you think we could do? Even with our experience we’re having fun with the far right Afd and the other parties are basically doing everything to get more voters to them!

  The misinterpretation with the name nothing to the regular word nothing in headlines and everything is really bad, especially since the internet is global and for countries who never heard the name.

  Some people think they’re really clever with their company name and cause lots of confusion with it for their narrow mindedness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course there are. But in this case the headline could be read:

  No thing’s new:…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that was nice. The whole game was nice albeit too much promise and left far behind by any uncharted (>1) which came long before.

  That at a premium price is too little. (not saying anyone should share this highly. Subjective opinion!)

  But that’s not the point I was teing to make. I literally laughed at that typical Bethesda T-pose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indiana Jones and the great circle: npc walking around on Gizeh and the clothes of one being in T-pose.

  Oh, Bethesda.

  Me, what?

  I was just calling out Vance since he might well be WAY worse than trump if given the chance and the heritage foundation as driver in the back; the tech bros as people helping them since they see goals align.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so goddamn sick of this fat, orange, narcissistic asshole and I will celebrate when he dies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about Peter Thiel?

  What about Vance and the whole heritage foundation?
