Yeah! Other publishers should open their own stores and compete!

Oh wait no fuck oh god oh what have we done

Well, and because 2 is fucking abysmal as a game. The starter car shouldn’t feel like it’s on rails regardless of speed, mostly - it’s a fucking racing game, get it right. (modern nfs is in the corner giggling but that piece of shit is always trying to force me to drift, again with an un-upgraded starter car with like 150hp, so it’s no better)

I was a closed beta tester for 1 and 2, and was very excited for both, but going from 1 to 2 is a huge step backwards in handling alone. Whereas I pre-ordered 1 and got several others to as well, I told everyone I know to avoid 2, bought it on sale a while after launch, was immediately disappointed they never addressed this, and it sits with… 13 hours on the clock. As a reference, I have 4,048 hours played in Forza Horizon 5.

I have no idea how they fucked up so badly. It’s a travesty.

(I play with keyboard/mouse out of preference but also because of physical disabilities, so while I /could/ use a controller and maybe mitigate this, grab a controller and try playing with one hand, see how great that experience is x_x) .

“look at this mf, dies and doesn’t even have the courtesy to fall down”

CEASE

dies

well that’s great, how the fuck am I supposed to do the other two now?

how many otters I can take

I’m just skimming this thread, but paragraph 2 is basically fact. I’m on my second synology box, the UI is simple and I want reliability, I don’t want shit to break because of a git push on some bullshit tool. But recently I snatched a Lenovo server and threw proxmox and Debian on it, and also got a vps.

The synology is actually pretty capable, especially if it can do docker, and if you are willing to venture into (as a beginner) copy/pasting commands from the internet into the task scheduler as a half-assed way to get at the terminal, it can do literally everything that I want. But I’m a geek, why should I keep a stable, reliable system as my only machine? :p

My synology does files, some docker stuff. Lenovo does a couple docker stuff, BOINC since it’s just idling most of the time, and docker for game and related hosting on my vps. Hell, this entire thing could be ‘just add a network folder, and install docker and dockge/portainer’.

Though (paragraph 3) I tried and didn’t like TrueNAS. Maybe it’s because the synology does it already, I was just exploring, but it has that ‘foss feel’ where you have no idea what you are doing, even when you know what all the pieces do, and it just kinda is like ‘here you go, figure it out’ and leaves. I remember the UI being equally… ‘designed by a programmer’ let’s say. It might be powerful but oof, slick it ain’t.

Of course not.

I have taste.

For 1y though? Mod defo has microscopic pp

From /all as a Linux user, I was very confused wtf you were asking.

Still confused, but I have context now at least.

Yes, but actually no. :P

I’ll take your entire stock

I would take an already-made burger, then inspect it and rip out elements of it, replace several others, add a bunch of layers of new things. It would take a few months and I would have no idea what I’m doing the whole time, but I would persist. The end result would be a delicious burger that occasionally has a missing item. Still working on why/where/how that happens. People would enjoy it, but most would not know that they can customize their burger, or the extent of the options.

(I used to code as a hobby in VB, C#, and Java over a decade ago, almost two; this burger example is me not knowing a damn bit of Lua, as I fork and modify a game mod to have a lot more features, less confusing variables, and lots of broken commented code as I have ideas but still don’t fully grasp what I’m doing. Weeeee!)

A speed comparison between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS on Linux. These are all file systems, like windows ntfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS or the apple journalling file system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System.

While usually unimportant for most use-cases, and with each offering differing features and capabilities, in data-heavy systems speed can be an important factor in determining whether to use one file system over another.

It’s also ‘my car can beat your car in a drag race’ for geeks, because again it usually doesn’t matter and features are far more important than speed for the typical user.

I read “university” as “universe” and was wondering where this was headed

Instructions unclear, stuck in freezer

Time to get a better bank, then :)

I stopped in 2007 and haven’t looked back, and advise friends and family to do the same. This is just more ammo for the “but why” rebuttal speech, and baby, “wanting your cpu to not die” is an awfully juicy bullet.

Watching Intel fuck themselves the last decade has been an absolute delight, but this, I could almost fap to this news.

Another reason added to the CVS-receipt-long list of reasons to never buy Intel.

Thanks, Steve Intel.

Yeah, I was like ‘uh, no’. I had to reinstall FH3 well over a dozen times because their updates would break shit and there was no file integrity check system. The store is garbage, no doubt, but let’s keep it to facts yeah.

So they want to be known as slow to release updates and in no rush to improve that, then? Another provider of devices that receives updates ‘eventually’? That was fine a decade ago, but there’s no excuse for it now. Trying to be better about sourcing and sustainability is good, but that doesn’t detract from other factors. If they have too much on their plate, they shouldn’t have added more.

Likewise, defending such behavior so strongly is ‘really showing’. 10 months for a version bump when it takes others weeks is bad, I’m sorry that you think otherwise. Nothing you say changes that - not sales numbers, not net profits, no ‘but they are small’ avoidance tactics. They don’t get a magic pass just because. It’s become easier since their launch years ago to speed up this process; there’s simply no excuse.
