- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 5 days ago:
The thing is what is the consensus of “runs well”? Is it a FPS constant? No glitches? Fast loads?
My point is, a game can come shitty and run a constant 30 fps under the “recommended” since that’s what they thought was appropriate
Is a gray area that should be more descriptive, not sure why downvote me
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 1 week ago:
Not that I remember, true that it didn’t handle the last gen consoles, and that it was marketed as quite demanding
Sadly “minimum” or “recommended” just tells us the game runs, not that it runs well

thats was just a loud minority talking about super max setting with Raytracing and 4k

There’s also few but existing examples of people that resist the selling urge, like the VLC dev
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 4 weeks ago:
I’d argue It is heavily inspired, and not copied.
The game has been in development for some years now, you can even find some early ads for It. And the lack of action by Nintendo, in all this time, tells me there’s no bases for any legal action.
I’ve seen comparisons for all the pals and the “look alike” pokemons, and honestly, some are inspired by pokemons and some are similar just because they are based on the same animal, I haven’t seen any blatant copies.

Right? It’s so weird, why would someone use a phone to make a… phone call, absolutely barbaric
- Comment on sleep paralysis 4 weeks ago:
It’s not a feeling that you can rationalize by looking at It from the outside.
It’s a primal and visceral feeling, a fight or flight situation. Sometimes you even think “hey this is a sleep paralysis, I can just ignore and go back to sleep”, but you usually can’t, and your body screams “danger, danger, danger, run away, fight back”, but you can’t move, or scream, or “wake up”. It bites of our instincts, and It’s hard to describe afterwards, but you wake up scared and bit relieved that you’re alive.
It gets worse If you hallucinate, all sorts of distorted figures and creatures appear, all fabrication of your brain of course, but since you’re half awake, they are half real as well, you can feel their presence like a sixth sense, when you look at a dark corner or a dark hallway and you know something is lurking there, sometimes you can even “touch” them if they come near enough.
I had and episode one time that I had to keep pushing a floating demonic mask away from me, I could only move my right wrist, and yes I could somewhat touch the thing, and I had this primal fear that If that thing approached my head, I would die.
It’s a really hard concept to describe, but once you experience It, you never forget the feeling.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve seen food expire before the date stated, so you should also take into account where you live and the regulatory entities that manage your food and stuff.
I’d say always do the sniff if you are worried.

- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
the dlc is really good, albeit short, it feels really long
all the characters are well written and it’s hard to straight up hate/like them, the gray area is real
also, theres 4 more ending added if I’m not mistaken, give It a shot

the faulty console launch aside, cp77 came as a really good game, one of the best story and characters I’ve seen in a while
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 2 months ago:
yes, because the average user doesn’t even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to “vendor lock” your own browser, in this Safari from iOS

- Comment on EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea" 2 months ago:
I think the problem is just that, the game is… okay, not bad or good, just okay, unremarkable and forgettable.
If you want good sales you need to do something innovative and interesting, or something cliché but really well done.
Taking a look at Doom 2016 (also a single player shooter) we can see the core gameplay: Shoot demons, Pick up ammo, Shoot more demons. But it’s crafted so masterfully that you spend dozens or hundreds of hours doing just that.
Now with this game that I actually forgot the name mid comment, It’s… well you get the ideia.
- Comment on X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad 3 months ago:
I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.
And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.
I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.
EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.
Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped.

- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 4 months ago:
I have to disagree with the “best software out there”.
You said you are a designer, that you used It all and currently uses Figma right?
Adobe has a Figma competitor, Adobe XD, and It seems you’re not using It, even though It should be better like you said.
- Comment on BVG out here recommending the best 2FA Apps! 5 months ago:
yeah, while I understand that, it’s not every time I have both my phone and computer together at the same time
using a standalone OTP on either one of them would make the opposite a pain in the ass to use
I take a lot of precautions with my main vault password, even got a biometric reader so I don’t have to type the password that much
- Comment on BVG out here recommending the best 2FA Apps! 5 months ago:
If you get Bitwarden pro (really cheap), you can save an OTP link together with the site credentials, it’s really good for keeping everything in one place

The first problem is the word “profit”, most people who can make astronomical differences, wont move a finger if there’s no profit in It.
The second problem is logistics, it’s hard to get things around the globe in an organized fashion, and this is usually overcome with big incentives, which brings us to the first problem again.
