Seriously, it feels like it’s gotten much worse over the last few months.
- Comment on A slow and painful death 6 days ago:
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to give that a try!
- Comment on A slow and painful death 6 days ago:
My guy. When you enter a car in the summer, the air is very hot and it takes a couple minutes to cool it down. When you replace the air first using the trick I mentioned, the air is much cooler, so you don’t sit in hot air for a couple of minutes.
How hard is it to understand this? Cooler air is cooler than hotter air. My god.
- Comment on A slow and painful death 6 days ago:
Dude, I’m talking about the air inside the car. Obviously you’re not cooling down the whole car, but you won’t have to sit in sweltering heat for multiple minutes.

If you open a window and repeatedly open/close a door on the other side a few times, your car will have the same temperature inside as is on the outside

It pissed me off when I went through the intro cutscene, and after jumping into the helicopter blades, it started the whole cutscene again.

But that’s what’s happening, games like AC2 are being taken from people.
How the hell were people supposed to know that the game would be taken from them when they bought it? You are aware that clear communication on that issue is literally one of the objectives of Stop Killing Games?
Have you done any thinking & reflection on the campaign?

First, how the hell did you get that from what I wrote?
Second, do you really think art is this replaceable? “Oh, we don’t need old movies and music, we have better ones now, so let’s just take away the copies people have already bought”? What a sad way to look at art.

Ask someone what “Caniformia” is and most would probably think you’re talking about some region on the US West Coast.
You’re obviously talking about noobs who aren’t watching TierZoo 😎

Because it’s a massive time and money investment, because the market and gaming landscape has changed, because mechanics and approaches can be patented, …
It’s a game with a story. You can’t just create a literal copy of that story since it connects to the story of the games before and after it. Come on, this isn’t hard to understand.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
It’s fairly common knowledge that SSDs outperform HDDs in both sequential and random reads, and while the file size & number of files have an impact, it doesn’t negate this difference.
A quick search confirmed that SSDs perform better in your scenario than HDDs. I don’t care enough to spend time finding proper references, because again - this is simply common knowledge.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
Of course SSDs are still much faster reading massive amounts of tiny files than HDDs are. Obviously random read speeds are much, much better, but even sequential reads of tiny files are a lot faster.
If you disagree, please provide numbers or references.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
I’d go with Elden Ring too.
It’s not everyones cup of tea, but the sense of wonder you feel as you explore the complex and intricate world is truly awe-inspiring. It’s hard to believe how much high-quality content they were able to put into it, how well it works together, and how much discussion it has spawned.
I’m pretty sure it will forever stand as one of the greatest games of all time, for very good reasons.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
As far as I’m aware, no. The studio was closed down by the guy that stole it from the creative minds.

Of course it’s ridiculous and untrue. You can’t “just” develop a game like Assassins Creed 2.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
Yet HDDs were also much slower than SSDs

I’m not aware of really any small developers pulling stunts like Ubisoft is doing. And there’s always the option to limit new laws to bigger publishers, like the EU is doing with the DMA.
The art argument is not nonsense, not sure where you get the idea. Games like Assassin’s Creed 2 have influenced many people in their design choices for their own games.
And of course there’s something wrong when a company takes away access to singleplayer games you bought, just because they use always-online DRM and don’t want to pay for the servers. These games don’t take away space from new games, it’s a ridiculous idea that them dying off is improving the situation for new games. It’s also ridiculous to think “hey, someone can just develop a game like the old one!”.

How is it selfishness to want to keep the product you bought? To preserve things that contribute to art and culture?
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 week ago:
Thanks for the recommendation! I’m specifically looking for a text guide that outlines the tech progression - doesn’t have to be in-depth, just a rough “first get this kind of thing, then this one”.
These kinds of games tend to be a bit opaque for me, having such a guide would allow me to read up on things when I can’t progress myself. Do you happen to know one?

Yeah, quite the surprise. They really fucked up with the previous-to-last update and left the game broken way longer than acceptable, but it’s nice that they’re improving things a bit now.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 1 week ago:
Is there a good overview of the progression somewhere? I vaguely remember buying it a while ago, but couldn’t really get into it.
