The INITIAL bond. He still has to eventually pay the whole thing.

That's pretty damn neat to see it cross-formatted here!

That's also because they deleted thousands of negative reviews. I think the numbers was like 7,400? 7.5? There's a review talking about it.

This company sucks. It's like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn't available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they'll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.

Sounds like a case where they'll shut down the entire location and move across the street.

It's truly disappointing when the good guys want to "fight fair" against quite literally the 1 situation where the founders put a backup plan in case of massive corruption of the system.

You could try turning up the haptics in the controller settings?

Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there's hope as long as a criminal isn't put in charge to de-teeth the government again.

Just like a movie theater, people are used to 24fps in a movie and anything else makes it seem weird and less dreamlike to transport them into the world. (But games aren't 24fps movies, I know. Not the point)

When you clean up all of the visual post processing, the game will look extremely clean. Which makes it feel like it's missing some kinda extra polish. People are so used to all of these elements added for a grounded and dirtier experience that without them it looks, and more importantly, feels too game-y for Ubisoft. (Counter-Strike is super clean, for example)

Look at Resident Evil 2 Remake and you see every single cinematic option in the book, down to lens distortion, being used and being able to be turned off in the settings. It's the look and feel the studio wants to go for.

If it's shaders, you could potentially turn off downloading shaders in desktop mode. I don't actually know if things are a Stutter mess anymore after many changes in 3.5 if you do that. (That async stuff)

Nah, literally played Goldeneye at a party yesterday and it's still damn fun! We also played Smash 64 AFTER Ultimate and had fun too!

Thankfully, asthma CAN be worked with depending on severity. Some athletes have asthma and make sure to do the right preparations before doing an event.

SBMM has the fatal flaw of expecting players to want to constantly improve with every match. Sometimes we want to play to relax, but that's never on its mind.

While true, I feel like games that work well on the Xbox Series S also work well on Steam Deck and when it comes to porting games to PC, those ones specifically are ported well.

All this power game developers have been getting, while great for creative endevours, has been either a waste of space or require outrageous specs just to perform normally. And some great games are bogged down by this while relying on upscaling methods to fill in the difference.

Either way, we've reached a point where more power and space isn't the solution anymore to better games. Can only hope new tech gets better optimized.

Maybe they should focus on the carbon footprint of large companies and what they can do about it instead of constantly doing these studies that constantly demean us for trying to just live.

Edit: I've just realized this article celebrates working from home

I feel like Lemmy is on its way and its main benefit is that it's not as cynical as Reddit to EACH OTHER.

So many people on reddit gripe about the smallest shit, especially the Steam Deck reddit, that conversations become either you're with my ideas or you're against my ideas. Like even though you're just trying to help others play a game, "I'm insulting you for free because of the way you said lowest fps is 33 with drops down to 29. I don't think it means what you think it means." (of course shoving a meme in there because that's their identity at this point)

I clearly meant average, but oh here comes -20 comment score when I explain that.

I see nicer comment chains from people on opposing political sides here even though I know a usual reaction these days would be to tear at each others' throats. Lemmy isn't devoid of it, but Jesus at least it isn't like how Reddit predictably uses a scalpel on your comments to find something to complain about.

But I think this might be the result of tailoring my experience over time with instances I want to see from and communities. That level of customization is awesome. But it does suck to see so many instance drama things happening in a much more rapid pace than reddit.

Combat was the incredible highlight of this game.

Seeing most of the fixes go towards that instead of immersion kinda... You'd think they highlight those immersive aspects more. The mods are sure as hell all about immersion including working stock markets and such.

"Consumers demand more and better graphics" Nah, we want optimization now thanks to the Deck. Games like Armored Core VI that are able to downscale fo. The Deck is REALLY nice while games like Remnant 2, which is an absolutely wonderful game, is completely unoptimized and only now can run on the deck ok after a big update for "Potato mode" graphics.

And yet some of the best AAA games of the past that can look better run at 60fps.

If anything, developers have gotten out of control with specs required to run their games. Jedi: Survivor is just ridiculous and more games seem to follow suit. Nintendo is obsessed with optimizing for lower end hardware, but imagine if they made a game squeezing out each and every ounce of what a game can be nowadays on newer hardware. We'd see some seriously amazing new optimization techniques as well as showing off the buffoonery that is the current specs situation. Hell, they already did it with Tears of the Kingdom anyways.

I'm just waiting for the new iPhone LongBeachGriffy vid

Either both platforms restricted Passes to harder validation after Cyberpunk 2077 or XDefiant is BUGGIER than Cyberpunk 2077
