Can’t really remember the last time it wasn’t a horrible time to build a PC.

Was it really easier to post this question instead of reading the article?

My personal opinion is that better than this in a money driven capitalistic economy is not possible. The pressures to keep growing and to make more are too great and most companies will do anything to make line go up. Valve has been very steady and metered in their ways over the years compared to any other company I am aware of.

If we change the external pressures, as in change our entire economic model, then sure, better can be had, I assume for all companies everywhere not just valve.

Looking at how other tech areas have all consolidated into monopolies or oligopolies, valve is the best case scenario for PC gaming.

Imagine anyone else being in control. Activision? EA? Ubisoft? The gaming industry is not immune from disgusting money hungry corporations stepping on the users to squeeze out every little penny they can. Valve has never done this and has kept others in check for the longest time. The day we lose the current version of Valve will be disastrous for the industry, I’m pretty sure.

I still remember the time of the great Miele shilling by the vacuum repair guy. Every thread about vacuums had the same conversation about how only this single company is the best company of all. It worked, my brother bought one of those vacuums.

So immch is dead before it even matured enough to be reliable? Sad.

Forced upscaling and blurry TAA is compensating for the fact that they can’t push graphics much further on the hardware we have. The current hardware progression has stagnated, combined with the fact that we are seeing more diminishing returns in graphics as they improve, requiring more power to deliver less of a noticeable difference.

But it doesn’t mean these games won’t look great when you disable the fakeness and run it with brute force GPU power 10 years from now.

I honestly think the current graphics we can achive are fine and where the true improvements should come from are better animation and actually good art direction.

It was all for show to appease protestors.

There’s no way this can be categorized as world news.

Overseerr doesn’t seem to be developed much anymore. Technically, these are for request management and for general search you would use prowlarr. In reality, if you don’t want to play administrator for other users using Sonarr or radarr directly is easier and more reliable. You can tell that the whole stack was created by random disjointed developers and not a main UX designer because everything about it is very obtuse.

Again this is my opinion, everyone who cares about it already knows beyond a shadow of a doubt what this is, everyone else will continue to attempt confusion and deny it until theres no living resident in Gaza. I disagree that this particular action would change anything in terms of anyone’s perception on the lies.

As I said in another comment there is politics at EU level and my argument is not against making waves, it’s about taking the conservation to where it hurts more for the politicians that don’t act. Making waves is very much a viable option since it’s been a recent staple of some politicians.

I guess the root issue with this is that they don’t act and if they lose their office to someone else those people also don’t act, at least not in the interest of the people. So we would need someone who actually acts instead of just talks and promises and I feel like Greta would be one of those people.

There are parties and ministers and multiple institutions at european union level that drive conversations and can put a lot more pressure on the rest of the world than any single private individual.

I already did in broad terms. I would target politics, start a party or movement, grab power, votes and influence, take the helm and actually enact policy and put pressure where it hurts. Even this flotilla would make a lot more sense if it would be a marketing stunt to gain something else, but it really does seem to be limited to exposure which is not enough, everyone already knows the tragedy that is happening and yet those who can actually decide have said time and time again we can all get fucked.

Right but my point is that they already did this and nothing changed. Everyone who cares to know knows already and everyone else doesn’t care. Actions speak louder than words and the world has already spoken even if any decent person is against it, this won’t change anything anymore.

I have to say I don’t get this. They keep trying again and again but to what end. There’s no way this will change anything. The navy will intercept them, maybe kill some people in the process, dump the food and sent them back home. It all feels like a huge waste of manpower, resources and time.

But by this point I’m wondering if Greta feels like she’s achieving much with the make noise strategy. I feel like that could work in a world that cares which ours increasingly is not that. She could attain more by going into politics for example. But dying in the sea on her way to a brick wall would be a huge loss that I can’t follow the logic of.

The only people that don’t use tap to pay in my area are grannies. And you do seem very old school since the last time I saw an aux cable was 10 years ago.

I see DLC mentioned and first thing I thought was did this game already release and I had no idea about it? If it’s already out and no one is talking about it does it mean it’s trash? Turns out it’s still 2 months away from releasing.

But it’s true this is paradox games we’re talking about, more of a dlc studio than a games studio.

This is the same culture that will absolutely not speak out or ask for a change in ingredients for fear of dishonouring the chef and the staff.
