In the last few years we used to do windows updates quarterly on our production servers as required by PCI DSS. In the last year though, we’ve had to do updates every single month due to critical CVEs needing to be patched. It’s becoming ludicrous actually, yet they’re cutting security folk.

It’s also very likely the divorce was the reason for the behavior. Getting lost in the sauce of that nonsense is a tragic but not unreasonable reaction to the trauma of divorce, or just being hurt by a woman. That ideology and the people who make money from it prey on weak, lost men for a reason. Thats what its designed to do.

Supported genocide. Palestinian specifically. And not like “Supports Israel”. But very unapologetically thinks the Palestinians should die.

Ah yeah that’s a good catch. It is a solid game and should have won.

I can’t think of a single city builder released this year that isn’t in EA.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best City Builder 2024: Manor Lords [as per PCGamer]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Were there any city builders fully released in 2024? Is this a matter of an EA title being chosen because there are no non-SA titles?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The distinction is very much universally accepted. The reason CRPG is used synonymously with RPG in that article is because CRPGs were at the time of their inception what an RPG was. You can tell by reading the introductory description and the characteristics section that what is being described and named are tabletop-like CRPGs specifically.

You’ll notice that in the section that defines ARPGs that they’re referred to as a hybrid genre. They are related to CRPGs, as they borrow elements from CRPGs but they are their own genre that by that hybridization are distinct from the CRPG.

This is reinforced by the Wiki link I sent you which is a more cut and dried succinct list of game genres, where it lists ARPGs and CRPGs as two distinct genres.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
A CRPG is the video game sister-genre of the table top role playing game.

“Computer Role Playing Game” doesn’t mean “A Role Playing Game that’s on the Computer”, the word computer is used specifically to distinguish it from tabletop, meaning it’s intrinsically tied to tabletop RPGs.

So if a game plays with very similar mechanics to a tabletop rpg (Turn based, tile or distance based movement, top down or isometric views, unique player-created characters, plus the other hallmarks of the greater RPG genre), then you can call it a CRPG. Games like XCom are closer to being CRPGs than the likes of Skyrim, though it wouldn’t itself qualify because it’s not an RPG.

Games like Skyrim are well established in the “Action RPG” genre and the burden of supportive evidence and reasoning would really be on you to try and make the claim that Skyrim is a CRPG.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Something that’s being heavily overlooked in this thread is the difference between a CRPG and an RPG/ARPG. I’m not sure which one OP is referring to, but if you want an easy guide, Fallout 1-2 are CRPGs, Fallouts 3-4 are not. Skyrim, the Witcher, latter Assassin’s Creed games, Elden Ring, etc are not CRPGS. Games like Divinity Original Sin 1-2, Baldurs Gate 3, Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder, etc are CRPGS
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is exactly what the “Taxation is theft” morons don’t understand. They think if the government no longer takes their cut, everybody will just have X amount of money more, and the market won’t just swallow that up without giving you a single thing in return.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite trailers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The absolute top spot has to go to the Battlefield 1 trailer, which stands at 74m views over the last 8 years.

The Halo 3 Believe trailer is up there as well.

A personal favorite of mine is the God of War: Ascension Super Bowl Ad

Honorable mention goes to a really solid recent trailer as well is the one for the long-awaited release of Satisfactory 1.0

I can’t think of a more acceptable reason for a development delay for a consumer than “I was busy making free content updates to my existing game”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
If we’re being real, there’s a chance you’re just depressed. It’s also worth noting that you don’t actually have to play video games. Sometimes I just find myself without anything good to play. It’s ok to do something else for fun for awhile.

The punchline of your joke is that the answer is Oppenheimer, but it isn’t. Your joke just doesn’t make sense lol
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear Demonology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Are they though? X-rays are emitted by electrons, not nuclei.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear Demonology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Either Rutherford or Fermi are who you’d probably credit for that given moment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear Demonology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Oh well sure lol.

But if you want to isolate “The moment nuclear technology became known to man”, the splitting of the atom or the reactor that was built before the atom bomb are probably what you’re going to go with.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear Demonology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not defending Tucker here but no it was not Marie Curie.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear Demonology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The splitting of the atom was only referenced in a single line in that movie and it wasn’t Oppenheimer who did it. Oppenheimer developed the nuclear bomb specifically.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Are you sure? I’ve seen generally favorable responses to the game from critics and players alike. Literally the only criticisms I’ve seen levied against the game so far are that it’s woke.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Hard bots have actually been so much trouble, that literally the only way to make them hard at all is to make them cheat by allowing them to operate outside of the ruleset the player is bound by. It’s a humongous issue with every strategy game on the market.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think the thing to note here is that ISPs roll those things out fully aware that hardly anyone who pays for that will actually USE that amount of data. In fact there are some places where regardless of your bandwidth, you have a monthly data allotment. This game represents a shift into super high bandwidth usage for the general non-technical population. If everyone and their mom starts actually using all the bandwidth they pay for, can the ISP deal with that? If you don’t have a monthly data limit, do they start to roll those out to you and your area?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve played it within the last few weeks. Like I said, deep as a puddle. Lots of systems have been bolted onto the side, sure. But the gameplay loop remains largely unchanged since launch. None of the added features integrate into the experience in any kind of meaningful way, they’re all just distractions, little side excursions. Base building? Cool, what are they for? Oh gloried fast travel points. Their primary practical use is to help you build more bases. There’s no real rhyme or reason to engage with any of the new systems added. They’re just novelties you toy around with briefly because they’re new.
