Witcher 2. The game. Letho captures Triss at the end of act 1 to get away and Geralt can choos recue her on act 3… Yennefer is only ever mentioned in name. Please look things up before condescending
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
W2 was spent looking for her the entire game
Witcher 2 was spent looking for Triss not Yennefer.
The books are canon for the games, yes
And I said maybe they shouldn’t be because warping the game story to fit the books is what I’m complaining about in the first place.
If you were fine with how w3 handled Yen before reading the books good for you. But it was not at all clear for me and that’s all I said. Sorry for being brash but it is obnoxious to then get comments preaching about how Yennefer is objectively right for Geralt and Triss is just fan service and the game itself favoring Yen would make sense if only I were to read the books
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
As far as I understand the games aren’t book cannon right? Then let the books not be game cannon. It is unreasonable for the books to be required reading between witcher 2 and 3 or even to expect the audience to know to read them.
A never before seen character from the books showing up in the game doesn’t bother me because they’re new and they’re explored as if they’re new characters. Yen bugs me because she’s a new character to me but as soon as they meet in Skelliga, her and Geralt get back together as if nothing has changed since the books. On the other hand Triss is an established character who has a history with Geralt that I know of, but now both are giving each other the cold shoulder without explanation.
In terms of Triss and Yen the books don’t give context to the status quo. They become the status quo.
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t care about the book. If anything his relationship with Yen feels like pondering to the book audience without much of a setup out explanation in-game
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
Oof I forgot that she was drunk in the party
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t play that one yet but I did read that if you try both you fail both but I already failed Triss so…
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
For me Yennefer seemingly popped into existence at the end of the last game but even then it wasn’t clear what she was to Geralt. I guess that’s a way to interpret the “took advantage of” line but to me it sounded more like it was about how seemingly half the women in this world is trying to seduce Geralt and Triss succeeded… She didn’t strike as particularly obsessive neither. If that’s why Geralt is upset at her I don’t see why he’s not also upset at his other friends who turned a blind eye and didn’t mention Yennefer.
Anyways I’m more upset about the game seemingly overriding my choice with Triss than ultimately ending up with Yen. I’m not sure how to to roleplay a Geralt who up until this point didn’t care for Yen but suddenly divined that he fucked it up with Triss so she’s the only option left…
And I don’t know if I’ll ever fully replay this game, it’s simply too long
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 weeks ago:
I would like to experience the different paths the game has to offer but I don’t think life’s long eough to play a 300 hr game twice when i could play 10 others I’ve never experienced before

- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows is as dark as that infamous Game of Thrones episode 1 month ago:
Nope, it does have wide color gamut and high-ish brightness, wouldn’t buy unless reviews said it was ok. But it does some fuckery to the image I can only imagine could be to make non-hdr content pop on windows but ends up messing up the image coming from kde. I can set it up to look alright in either in a light or dark environment but the problem is I can’t quickly switch between them without fiddling with all the settings again.
Compared to my cooler master a grayscale gradient on it has a much sharper transition from crushed bright to gray but then gets darker much slower as well, to a point where unless a color is black it appears darker on the cm despite it having an ips screen. Said gray also shows up as huge and very noticable red green and blue bands on it, again unlike the cm which also has banding but at least the tones of gray are similiar.
Also unrelated but just noticed while testing the monitors, max sdr brightness slider of kde seems to have changed again. Hdr content gets darker on the last 200 nits while sdr gets brighter. Does anyone know anything about that? I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows is as dark as that infamous Game of Thrones episode 1 month ago:
I got a samsung monitor last year too (it was the cheapest and I keep seeing reddit praise them) and it has such a terrible hdr experience. When hdr is on either dark colors are light grayish, brights are too dark, everything’s too bright or colors are over saturated. I’ve tried every combination of adjusting brightness / gamma from the screen and/or from kde but couldn’t figure out a simple way to easily turn down the brightness at night without some sort of image issue popping up. So recently I gave up and turned hdr off. Also if there are very few bright areas on the screen it seems to decrease its overall screen brightness, which also affects color saturation bcz of course.
I really wish there was a ‘no smart image fuckery’ toggle in the settings.

Older but not too old. Not near the microwave. There was a problem with the WiFi not penetrating a wall well so a WiFi extender on the other side connected to Ethernet over power was supposed to fix that. But that turned out more unreliable than before. In the end a WiFi mesh network worked the best.

I can’t wrap my head around this comment. You think playing video games is a wealthy people hobby? Or are you saying the author of the article is a wealthy person who doesn’t work? Or that only wealthy people have time to read these articles? Did I miss elon musk promoting path of exile or something?
The real answer doesn’t make sense neither, the article makes no mention of how much money the game has made, it’s just a surface level review.
