900MHz WiFi, 20-40Mbps at “10 miles” (what’s that, 16km?). I mean I love the vastly simpler authentication part of the protocol but isn’t it just a mobile cell band at that point?

Oh damn, thats a name I admittedly haven’t heard in a while. This guy had a huge impact on the games I played growing up. Still play the Master of Orion games every now and then. RIP

It’s like that plot point from Blade Runner 2049… all the best memories are hers

Love this video. Such devotion to Michaelsoft Binbows.

I think that’s part of the fun of an “ask people” forum, the answers reveal the common understanding of the definition of the question itself!

For example, In this question the term “male loneliness” is seemingly semantically meaningful. It seems to be a name given to the popular perception or understanding of a certain phenomenon.

I agree with you. TOTK (and other open world games) on the Switch is an unpleasant experience. The hardware just isn’t capable of it

I do however think the developers did put some effort into attempting to mitigate the underperforming hardware - hence the seeming emptiness of the world. It just wasn’t enough. There are games that run well on the Switch - Metroid Prime Remastered is incredible, for example, but we must ask why: the answer is that that game’s world consists of a large number of small rooms, basically the polar opposite of an open world design.

Art style trumps graphical fidelity, but you do need a decent baseline capability to be able to pull it off.

Also, if you enjoyed TOTK don’t let me ruin your fun - it’s a subjective thing. Just don’t tell me there’s objectively no problems with it, because there clearly are

Rude tweets? At this time of year?

I put a bunch of ARBG inside the retrofitted Dell Optiplex computer I gave my brother in law lol, he’s gonna use it for playing old games so it’s a fitting meme. Also installed a low profile graphics card (a GT 1030, could’ve gone for an RX 6400 but it costs 4X what I paid for the machine lol), some more RAM, a second SSD for storage. But the most important part is the ARBG 80mm case fan and 2X LED strips!

That’s NSFL bro!

That’s some HR Giger shit

Those damn “form over function” people…

Anyway that’s my excuse for lack of home decoration sense: it’s all function-first. Yeah. Totally that.

Lmao

Ah, I didn’t see the “c” in my sleep deprived state, whoops

I despised it in World of Warcraft, but I actually loved it in The Witcher 3. How I feel about it seems to be at least somewhat related to whether it’s a singleplayer game or multiplayer. But it’s more complicated than that - in TW3 without scaling enabled the whole game becomes piss easy even on Death March so it’s kinda required for me to even enjoy the gameplay at all. There are still many ways to gain relative character power that exceeds the level scaling that eventually you just WILL overpower everything regardless.

Unless it’s basically broken I will play games on the highest difficulty possible, because that’s just more fun to me. It makes each game an epic saga and something that can grip my (limited) free time for many many months. Which is good, because I have issues picking up and putting down fictional universes, I get a bit too attached. I don’t get super emotional about it, I just really don’t have the mental energy to deeply engage with something new unless I’m truly done with the last big thing. (I am also neuro-non-standard, I have heard of a term for this, “inertia”)

I loved that scene in the show. In-universe explanation for why Jaffa can’t aim for shit lmao
