Don’t you know that gamers demand hyper realistic graphics? Even when there is a defined art style it doesn’t matter. Realism.
It’s famously why comic books failed to captivate anyone, and cartoons are never successful.
- Comment on The Witcher season 4 premieres next month, Netflix show off recast Gerry from the River and vampiric Morpheus 5 hours ago:
Completely agreed.i didn’t want some assholes version who didn’t like the source. I wanted the source material, on camera, with Cavill. That’s more or less what we got with seasons 1 and 2, that’s all we wanted to continue.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 7 hours ago:
I’ve read reports that people can’t get more than 30fps on low settings on 4000 series cards. I’m definitely not one to expect sweet 120fps on ultra on launch day, but a 4000 card not even getting low settings? They failed. Hard.
- Comment on The Witcher season 4 premieres next month, Netflix show off recast Gerry from the River and vampiric Morpheus 12 hours ago:
If it was enough to piss off Cavill it’s enough to piss off me. Netflix had something that truly could have taken on Game of Thrones and was too worried about offending someone.
- Comment on Just watched SNW 03.04 and that monologue by "Joni Gloss" about inspiring generations... it touched me 2 days ago:
A bit meta, but it hit home for me too. Felt like them screaming at paramount yes it’s SUPPOSED to be this. It’s supposed to be utopian, with no huge explosions and horrible situations. We want to hope, and star trek gives us that
- Comment on Brianna Ladapo, the wife of Florida's surgeon general, claims her husband won’t work with anyone she hasn’t vetted. She also believes “dark forces” are targeting her family with chemtrails 2 days ago:
Hm something tells me she should be more concerned about lead.

Probably not, as it asks you to get closer and farther, but with how AI is, it’s only a matter of time until someone can get around that. The ID though I’m not so sure about

Left 2 1/2 years ago, whenever I’m forced back because of some tech question I see the constant anger and anxiety in the comments. It may be smaller here but goddamn if it’s not more pleasant

Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.

They got you covered, their network security will ban you and block you from access.
Remember when reddit was about being anonymous?

- Comment on Far Cry series will push multiplayer "more predominantly" going forwards, according to Ubisoft boss 4 days ago:
The only multiplayer I would ever want is co-op in FarCry. This is just sad, they’re so desperately trying to just make profit go up, while completely ignoring what made the series great in the first place. I played 5, and while it was fun it was so repetitive and boring that I knew unless they seriously went back to their roots I wouldn’t be going back.

This is a company that will sue you if you even watch this press release incorrectly, but they’re still coming at the bit
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' & 'Doctor Who' Crossover? Watch Finale Sneak Peek 4 days ago:
Honestly I’m over the silly episodes. One musical episode in an entire season? Hilarious and a ton of fun. 5 lame “what if” scenarios in one season with only 2 or so that feel like trek? Getting annoying.

It’s amazing to watch corporate greed see a quality product like steamdeck and rush to make a shittier version
- Comment on Nintendo wins $2 Million settlement against Switch modchip seller who previously denied wrongdoing 6 days ago:
I’m aware, we aren’t going to make a massive dent. However, for this 2 million dollar settlement, how many people would need to be swayed to not buy a switch 2 to make the settlement more expensive? In other words, how many sales would need to be lost because of us not buying the console to make the settlement moot?
In the case of 2 million, that’s about 4,500 switch 2s, not counting the loss in games bought or accessories.
If just 4500 people were convinced not to buy one because of this settlement, then the cost to their brand being tarnished is worse than the loss of potential sales due to the chip.
There’s a dozen other factors too, legal costs, what drives these potential sales, etc. what I’m trying to say is that if they’re willing to be this litigious over a few thousand console sales, then that means that even small groups like us not buying consoles can actually be noticed. It may be a simple dip in sales on a chart, but they’ll notice. To a greedy corporation willing to go after a single guy in a garage, they’ll notice a couple thousand people not buying consoles.
- Comment on Nintendo wins $2 Million settlement against Switch modchip seller who previously denied wrongdoing 6 days ago:
I continue to not buy Nintendo devices or software because of their continuing nonsensical litigation like this. Whatever value they think they lost because of these chips I say compare that to their continued tarnishing of their name.
If your drm can be altered with a chip some guy made in his garage then it’s your drm that’s at fault. Financially ruining the guy only hurts the Nintendo brand.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 week ago:
I feel you exactly the same. I don’t know how my coworkers do it. They can literally get screamed at, called out in a meeting in front of others and it’s like nothing to them. Meanwhile I fight back tears and my voice raises and I panic. In the corporate world that means I’m weak. I’m damn good at my job but in a situation like that I just crumple, and to leadership they don’t look at my projects or outcomes, all they see are those few instances.
It also haunts me years and years later.

Seriously, OP, wondrous that you want to post, but clean up the clickbaity titles and you’ll do better here

In my experience the largest demographic at the Disney parks are lower class white folks. Not everyone, but it’s their largest percent. For many it’s the only large trip they’ll ever do as a family

- Comment on Missouri voters expanded paid sick leave. The Missouri Legislature undid it, and the repeal just took effect 1 week ago:
Then the cycle will repeat. They’ll get poorer and be worse off, they’ll blame someone else, we’ll show them this again, and it cycles down. So many Rs never get it, seriously I don’t need these programs, I was voting for you folks to have access to sick days and healthcare. Morons always vote against their own interests

don’t worry though, they’ll still vote in the same lawmakers.

- Comment on Is AI Slop Killing the Internet? 1 week ago:
Yup it is, and in pure moronic big tech, it’s only a short term money maker. Eroding trust in the platform bit by bit, more and more people are growing annoyed by it, and all the social media doing it.
