- Comment on Rumor: GTA Roleplay Server FiveM Victim Of Hostile Takeover - And One Of Rockstar's Own Is Involved 3 days ago:
This is only speculation on my part, but it makes no sense to buy FiveM this late into the game’s lifecycle and not use the existing system for the next game. At the very least, if significant changes need to be made, there’s already a framework there to build on. If they shut down FiveM with the release of GTA6, that’s just opening the door for someone else to build a new system to replace it.
But I don’t run a corporation and am not exclusively motivated by short-term profits.
- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 4 days ago:
Segmented runs make sense in some games, but probably not something like Diablo.
Super Metroid, for example, has a lot of segmented runs between save stations. It’s a lot harder to put together a record-setting non-segmented run than it is to perfect all the segments individually. You lose precious seconds going to save stations, but you save some RNG and mistakes don’t spoil an entire run.

Network test where nobody can manage to queue with other people :/
A network test showing that the testing was required.
If you sign up for a network test, you have to be expecting issues like this.

Turn the question back at yourself, please.
I asked a simple, polite question for clarification. I’m not arguing about anything.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Also, you assume they’ve actually increased the number to keep the mass valid
I would assume so, and with good reason. The laws for that stuff are strictly enforced. There’s a margin of error, but we’re talking a few grams. Enough that one fewer tortillas in the package would put it over that limit and litigation would ensue.
Once they run out of old packaging
Packaging is cheap af. They’re not trying to run out their old packaging. I’m not saying that it’s not a lead-up to shrinkflation, just that they don’t care about old, leftover packaging. More likely, IME working in packaging, would be that they’re waiting for someone working on the machines to dial in the settings before switching to a different roll of film.
Anyway, I wasn’t trying to argue anything in the first place, just trying to get a grasp of OP’s point since they didn’t really explain what the issue was.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m not understanding what the issue is. Is it because they’re smaller than they used to be?
That kind of packaging is made pre-printed, and the product is sold by weight, so if they made them smaller, they added more to the package to make up for it.

- Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement 4 weeks ago:
Its ranking has dropped by 44 spots on Steam’s top sellers list. Unless the sales numbers of everything else have shot up significantly, that implies that sales of the Steam Deck have gone down. I don’t know how significant it is because I don’t know how the rankings are done, but it’s a pretty big drop for a 2-week period.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 5 weeks ago:
Currently, they don’t even give you that choice. They’re the ones making that decision. Sure, you can buy it, but you don’t get to decide if you want to play their game longer than they want you to.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 5 weeks ago:
The goal is not to prevent you from agreeing to bad terms, it’s to prevent the companies from imposing those bad terms on people.
Would you rather buy a game that you know is going to die in a year, or the same game but that can be played for as long as you want?
Would you rather companies keep making games with a short expiration date, or games that people can keep playing if they so choose?

If it’s just for gaming, you really don’t need the absolute top of the line in terms of CPU. I can’t think of a game I’ve ever played that maxes out my CPU on all cores.
Unless you’re also using it for CPU-specific and intensive work outside of gaming, you won’t gain much from spending more money.
- Comment on Same 5 weeks ago:
Wait for sales and you can spend half that. If you’re willing to settle for anything less than top of the line, you can go even lower. I picked up a 7900X3D under $450 CAD this summer. My Motherboard was under $200 CAD for an ITX board, and I got 32GB of 6000mHz RAM for $125 CAD.

But they’ve been selling mid-range and budget GPUs all this time. They’re not adding to the existing competition there, because they already have a share of that market. What they’re doing is pulling out of a segment where there was (a bit of) competition, leaving a monopoly behind. If they do that, we can only hope that Intel puts out high-end GPUs to compete in that market, otherwise it’s Nvidia or nothing.
Nvidia already had the biggest share of the high-end market, but now they’re the only player.

Actually AMD has said they’re ditching their high end options
Which means there’s no more competition in the high-end range. AMD was lagging behind Nvidia in terms of pure performance, but the price/performance ratio was better. Now they’ve given up a segment of the market, and consumers lose out in the process.

That looks like the narrowest tub I’ve ever seen. I assume they renovated the place and made the bathroom smaller to add an extra bedroom or something, and they just shrank the wall without changing the plumbing.
