- Comment on Steam is now refunding Ghost of Tsushima for people in affected countries. 5 days ago:
The developers were told 6 months before release that it needed to have psn required. Granted, thats waaaaaay too late to tell a dev that, but they could have delayed the game. Instead, they made it half arse and still told sony it was good to go.
Imho, both have gone wrong here - Comment on Mad Palaeontologists 1 week ago:
My mistake, youre right. Its sauron that was on savage island

Figured, guy looks like stegron, which i assume is him

Why not just use a ratchet or spanner then…?
- Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
Fair. It all depends on where it breaks off and how tight the screw is. In electronics the screws arent in very tight, and breaking it off often breaks it off all the way down to the base.
Whatever happens, tamper proof is a huge fail and a good joke - Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
Pozidrive and torx ftw. The rest can bugger off tbh.
Also, temper proof torx makes me lol. Brb, grabbing pliers to break of the temper proof bit haha - Comment on To be fair, that's more than two words 1 month ago:

- Comment on Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox 3 months ago:
This is indeed the case. I use firefox daily, including for teams. I have to fake my user agent to do it, but it works. Its purely teams just saying fuck you to firefox…
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 4 months ago:
At this point it might as well be a natural response to childeren to link them to the loud noises ( which irritate op ). Tbh, i was thinking the same and it might help you realise what you hate ( childeren, or just loud noises )

Thanks for the info! Ye, i think vat would be better too
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 5 months ago:
Sale tax is everywhere. And still, if its a static amount per state, why not include it on the sticker price so you know exactly how much you will be paying?
Inventory and sticker work is done by computers, they know the price …
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 5 months ago:
As a european, not knowing and legit asking: isnt that the thing all over the usa? I mean, you pick up something at the store, go to the counter and then SUPRISE, tax is added on top of the price. Like, that also feels like sneaking in extra costs?

Not good enough, sadly

Ye, ive added the needed exceptions for *.teams.com, lync and skype just to login…
- Comment on Shitsoft Teams doesn't work on firefox 7 months ago:
Ye, i remember they mentioning this, and people i know confirm it works fine. It just doesnt work on my end. I do have firefox set up to be very private though ( no 3th party cookies )
- Comment on Shitsoft Teams doesn't work on firefox 7 months ago:
It doesnt work on my systems either. With some user agent magic (tricking its running on safari/ios) it works… Except when you enable your camera in teams >>

No, i claimed the game’s process has 47 threads.

Look, this is the last time ill reply to you because weve deviated far from the original topic.
There is only 1 definition of a thread. A thread is a piece of code that is executed on a processor, and which contains the state of a processor and its registers ( where in memory it was executing, memory locations, stack, state of the function it was executing,… ). Which thread gets executed is for the operating system to decide depending on several things ( priority or affinity as its called in windows , type of thread, what layer of the os requests time etc etc )
There is , at its core, no such thing as a “cpu thread”. This is marketting speak to indicate how much threads a cpu can processes at the same time. Depending on the operating system’s scheduler, the processor and the type of instruction it needs to process, a cpu could processes 16 threads at the same time on a 8 core/16thread cpu so its constantly using everything of a cpu. However, if 2 or more threads are doing similar instructions it is possible a thread has to wait for the other to process despite them not having anything to do with each other. Thats on the processor’s scheduler to decide btw.
Adding more threads to the os’ thread queue isnt magically going to make things faster. Take a look at dolphin’s thread and core usage. They have ( used to?) be against adding more threads to the emulator because it made 0 sense to do so, despite some games running slow. This resulted in dolphin at one point using 2 cores 100% on a quad core cpu, while 2 were doing nothing. Just because adding threads that would 90% of the time do nothing was a waste of resources and processing time.
I have a feeling you dont understand how this stuff works, as you have given me nothing of proof, details or anything of how any of this works. Have you profiled the game? Checked gpu busy vs cpu busy? Looked beyond the cpu % usage? Checked on different hardware?

Im a developer, and ive written a thread scheduler for an os, i know what threads are :')
The game has 47 threads, which you can verify in task manager. What you are thinking of is how many threads the cpu can process in parallel, which is indeed 4 on my cpu.However, like i said, the game runs perfectly so the engine and windows seem to balance the priority and timings of those 47 threads just nicely and i dont see why it would need to use more cpu cores to process… Nothing. Adding more threads and using more cpu cores does not always mean faster processing of data…

Why should it? It runs 60fps at ease with a better system And no, not a typo (Trying to add a screenshot, but liftoff is acting weird)
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will be "chonky," with fixes for performance issues and other issues 8 months ago:
If it has that bad of a cpu affinity, and barely using 4 threads, i wonder why its hitting 100% on my 4 core 4th gen i5 and it has 47 threads… :')
- Comment on Nothing infuriates me quite like anti working class propaganda being pushed by the eilte 8 months ago:
I disagree.
Left is more than wealth. Left is often reffered to socialism or liberalism. Either cases have at its core nothing to do with wealthy at all. Its not because your local politics have the left as wealthy fuckwads that this is everywhere.That said, dont get me wrong, this is some terrible shit to say and the wealthy should piss off.
- Comment on Why? There is enough space on the parking lot 8 months ago:
Ive started to see these more and more, and imo they are a good thing! They really prevent this b/s from happening!
Though sometimes i feel they are placed a bit much too the front for my hatchback, but i understand this is so family cars dont go too far either
- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 9 months ago:
Chances are those glitches have been fixed. Theyve been keeping on top of the game and released 3 patches already. Thing is though, these arent multi gigabyte patches like other games. These are straight to the point patches that are < 400MB. its awesome
