So you were stewing on it for 22 hours, huh?
We agree on the argument you shifted to - they barely delivered the game they promised on day 1. But that wasn’t what your first comment said. You said the game was starting to almost approach what they promised before launch.
For at least 5 years, the game has been a few minor features away from everything they promised…while adding a ton more they didn’t promise. Do those missing features means the game isn’t at it’s promised state? You’d be pedantic to buy it would be understandable? Do those missing features means the game isn’t 99.99% complete? You’d be a fool to. And you were a fool.
Feel free to get the last word in here.

You’re still thinking about this?

Ok?
You and this other guy sure are stuck on a point I wasn’t making. What’s that about?

Can’t believe I’m wasting my time on this conversation but here’s a spreadsheet from 5 years ago showing what was promised, what was there at launch, and what was there when the list was made for reference.
I haven’t played in a few years so I don’t know what’s changed (aside from unique ships) but that’s a pretty complete list. Sure it’s missing a few minor things but are you really going to pretend it fell so short of its goals?
No, you’re not. That’s why you shifted to talking about the sad state of the game at launch…something no one is saying isn’t true.
You changed the subject.

Your first complaint was that the game still isn’t complete, now your complaint is that they’re fraudsters for not delivering it on day 1.

It’s not a bit of a stretch. It’s ok that you don’t like it, though
- Comment on New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out 3 days ago:
Ok? You know that your original complaint was wrong so you shifted to a new one?

Sounds like you formed an opinion on the game years ago and ignored everything about it since. The game’s been pretty good for years now, it had its redemption arc before Cyberpunk made it cool
They were definitely late on delivering for sure but they’ve gone beyond catching up at this point

That’s not how friends treat friends…Especially the last part.
I won’t claim to know the details of your relationship with them but I think at some point - be it now, in a year, or a decade - you’ll make a true friend and realize you wasted your time on this one-sided friendship.

- Comment on Two Jan. 6 prisoners, Andrew and Matthew Valentin, released from DC jail after Trump's Day 1 pardon 1 week ago:
You’re celebrating this?:
“Matthew Valentin committed two other acts of violence—spraying a chemical irritant towards officers and trying to wrestle a baton from another officer. Andrew Valentin threw a chair at officers, striking one,” the memo said.
The brothers did not have criminal histories, sentencing memos from their lawyers note.
“I am disappointed in myself when I think about how the law enforcement agents must have felt on that day and every day since,” Andrew Valentin wrote to Walton in a letter apologizing for his actions. “My intentions were never to hurt anyone and I cannot believe that I behaved in such a manner.”

- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 1 week ago:
My old office was 90s as hell with big beige cubicles and ceiling tiles. My desk was outside of my boss’s office. It was 35 minutes away and I went in almost every day even though WFH was an option
Then we moved to a fancy new open office with half height glass walls. It’s 10 minutes away and they’re lucky if they see me twice a week now.
I don’t want to hear every conversation in the office. I work better, faster, and with fewer breaks when it’s quiet. I have to use push-to-talk in meetings.

- Comment on HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever 3 weeks ago:
They have cables with harder jackets for racks that I’m sure is what most people are thinking of with the bend radius but yeah…bulk fiber is incredible. The big caveat is temperature… don’t pull fiber when it’s freezing out.
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever 3 weeks ago:
It definitely depends on the application but my instructor showed it to us in training and I replicated it for a tech who wasn’t there later
There’s also two minimums, one for how much it can bend before the fiber breaks and one (much larger) radius for peak operation. A knot causes optical loss but it still works
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever 3 weeks ago:
Instead, they’re trying to force everything to USB with DP Alt mode which has a ton of the same annoyances…but at least USB C is flippable I guess.
HDMI 2.1 cables have 19 wires and USB 3.2 has 13 or 14 (can’t remember) so they’re really finicky and fragile. Fiber has 1 or 2 and is VERY rugged in comparison…you can literally tie a knot in a fiber cable and it’ll still work.
Plus with fiber, if your AVR blows up, it can’t take the other equipment out with it since it’s electrically isolated.
Fiber is also cheap cheap cheap!
Fiber is thin and easy to route.
Fiber can ALSO be shortened, extended, etc. in the field.
The only downside is the cost of the splicing tools (and the cleanliness required)
And I guess SFP connectors are pretty gnarly. But if it was aimed at consumers, they could slap a nice rubberized coat on it…
Man, I love fiber.

This was the dream of the 90s. I had every piece of equipment and media disc displayed and wanted a desk that “for” my monitors sooooo bad.
Nowadays it’s all about subtly (my tastes have shifted, too) but back then the aesthetic was a full square meter that shouted “THIS IS THE COMPUTER ZONE!!!”

No need to spin. I think we can all agree that pardoning Hunter after saying for years that he wouldn’t is bad.
