To add to that, the DLC thing really pisses me off particularly because I bought the game last night, and there was no DLC. The DLC didn’t show up until a few hours later, and by that point it was too late to refund it. Kind of felt like a bait and switch, because normally I wouldn’t buy a game at launch if they did that shit.

For better or for worse capcom is doing this shit in nearly every one of their games so i kinda expected this shit

And if we stop shitting on them for doing it, we let it become normalized.

Denuvo is a cancer

This pretty much sums up the topic.

Optimisation. It is poor apparently. Nothing new really as far as pc games go.

It’s actually a lot worse than that. It’s been a while since I played something that had this level of problems. The fact that it’s CPU-based performance is actually the bigger issue because it doesn’t matter how beefy your graphics card is, you’re still dropping a ton of frames in that city specifically. I can run the game at 144 FPS until I go to that city, then it drops to 40, which is just outrageous. Gaming PC build logic has for a long time been to prioritize a great graphics card over a great processor (assuming you’re building with a budget and not a ‘money is no object’ type build), because that’s what matters for games, but suddenly with this one specific game, the processor is the bottleneck.

It’s very easy for NY to go after the bus companies when they have a law on the books to use, and very difficult for a state to go after another state. It’s the fastest way for them to get results - if the bus companies think there’s more potential risk for doing it than they stand to gain, they’ll stop, it’s just business for them. It’s politics for Texas.

During the pandemic, my son orchestrated a prank wherein during one session, the entire class kept telling the teacher she was on mute, despite it not actually being the case, and she spent the whole hour-long period trying to solve the non-existent technical problem. The responsible thing to do would probably have been to put a stop to it but I was just so impressed by his ability to coordinate this with 30 kids that I just couldn’t.

Did you even read the article we’re discussing, or are you just reading the comments and getting mad?

1. No decision has been made. This is simply a judge denying the companies’ motion to have this thrown out before going to trial.
2. This is very much different than “the gun market” being indirectly responsible. This is the equivalent of “the gun market” constantly sending a person pamphlets, calling them, emailing them, whatever else, with propaganda until they ultimately decided to act on it. If that was happening, I think we’d be having the same conversation about that, and whether they should be held accountable.
3. Whether they’re actually responsible or not (or whether any group is) can be determined in court following all the usual methods. A company getting to say “That’s ridiculous, we’re above scrutiny” is dangerous, and that’s effectively what they were trying to do (which was denied by this judge.)

If we remove that it become: funnelling a market towards the further consumption of your product. I.e. marketing

And if a company’s marketing campaign is found to be indirectly responsible for a kid shooting up a grocery store, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a repeat of this with that company being the one with a court case being brought against them, what even is this argument?

Ohh u didnt report someone ur also guilty cant see any problems with this.

That’s… not what this is about, though?

“However, plaintiffs contend the defendants’ platforms are more than just message boards,” the court document says. “They allege they are sophisticated products designed to be addictive to young users and they specifically directed Gendron to further platforms or postings that indoctrinated him with ‘white replacement theory’,” the decision read.

This isn’t about mandated reporting, it’s about funneling impressionable people towards extremist content.

If an “official act” is anything that happens while they’re in office, Biden should just shoot Trump on his last day in office. Following this argument, he’d be immune to prosecution.

A denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future president with de facto blackmail and extortion while in office, and condemn him to years of post-office trauma at the hands of political opponents.

It’s funny that this hasn’t happened in 45 presidencies, yet his argument is that it’s suddenly going to be a problem for every future president…

Why are we posting 7.5 year old articles?

This isn’t Steam specific; this applies to almost every digital marketplace. Yeah, it sucks, but there’s some things you just have to accept. When’s the last time you bought a physical copy of a PC game?

They could have made it an AU only feature, though, and didn’t, to their credit.

Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members’ libraries, even if they are online playing another game. If your family library has multiple copies of a game, multiple members of the family can play that game at the same time.

Well this is exceptionally exciting. This potentially solves 100% of my complaints with Family Sharing as it exists currently.

I love the framing “…that has the US worried”, as if better battery technology isn’t a win for consumers everywhere, and the only people who are ‘worried’ are US battery manufacturers who haven’t kept up with technological advances, and the government who want to keep encouraging US companies to not use (objectively better) batteries from China.

It sounds like the ‘worry’ is “Our technology is years behind a political rival, and people are starting to notice”.

If this is actually a bad thing for me, as a consumer, and I’m mis-reading the situation, please feel free to educate me.

Also, it’s not like she’s paying for her mortgage in addition to whatever she was doing previously (presumably rent). The mortgage payment replaces your rent payment.

Great, so that’ll get him $35 million… only 113 million more to go!

Developer on Steam shows as the Aleph One Developers, so I would assume it will be.

Edit: More or less confirmed.

He sure does.

You leave Martin out of this.

The district attorney initiated forward-looking steps to “prevent future harm, encourage empathy, and build stronger communities free of hate.”

They include a curriculum around hate and bullying being delivered to the Southwick school community and a partnership with the attorney general’s office to create a program that addresses and remediates the harmful forces of bigotry, racism and bullying in schools.

I appreciate that the response, at least, wasn’t “Crucify these specific kids and ignore the underlying symptoms”.

There were arrows? If only there was something in the image to indicate where they are, I might not have missed them.
