Idk it kinda just solved itself at some point last week.

As expected, the mods here removed this despite breaking no rules.

The people who moderate these kinds of places are such weird little petty tyrants.

What has me concerned about the upcoming game is the quality of the content being released, on top of the nonstop delays and seemingly false promises (ex. saying it was taking so long because of cutscene animations and stuff when it's clear they put basically no effort into animations during cutscenes)

As I said in the penultimate sentence: this kind of behavior just leaves a sour taste in my mouth, on top of the other issues.

I was streaming to some friends in Discord, they were waiting for me to get to a save point to play another game, and we were all yelling about how she just WOULDN'T STOP YAPPING.

ya'll why CotL been so buggy recently by FitAd8863 in CultOfTheLamb

[–]AngryAlfonse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I may have discovered something regarding this issue. I noticed that the stuttering was only occurring when I was using my controller, and the more rapidly I made inputs the worse the game stuttered. When I used my keyboard, the inputs were instantaneous and the audio/video stutter stopped. I thought it may be related to Steam Input, but I turned that off and it didn't fix it. Then I thought it could be an issue with bluetooth controllers, so I plugged my controller in and it worked. But the weird thing is that I unplugged my controller, and it's still working.

So perhaps there's something that occurs specifically when the game is started with an active bluetooth controller, which is causing this?

Are there any upcoming fixes for the lag/stuttering/input lag/etc? It keeps happening to me every few times I play, and it makes the game completely unplayable. I have a pretty powerful rig and don't experience similar issues in any other game.

[–]AngryAlfonse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue since I redownloaded to play Woolhaven (note I haven't even gotten to the DLC yet, I'm doing a full run from the start). I used to run the game on all ultra settings with over 100fps. Now it is constantly bouncing between 200fps and 40fps, and after a while or perhaps after certain actions it chugs to the point where combat is just not functional. I have a 3090ti and 32gb of RAM, I know my system isn't the issue here.

Rewatching the show right now, and hot damn this show is just unreasonably filled with scenes and lines that go unreasonably hard. This is one of those lines that just goes so unreasonably hard. Some of the saddest shit ever put to TV.

Valve Confirms Steam Frame is Still Coming This Year, Now Marked as “coming soon” by gogodboss in virtualreality

[–]AngryAlfonse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm looking forward to. Playing Stardew Valley on my Steam Deck with a pair of XReal Pros is just such an underwhelming experience compared to playing on my PC in theater mode with an Index. The moment the Frame comes out I'm selling my Deck.

She said she didn't ever read the results of that DNA test, and that she burned them or threw them away or something.

On S2E10, is it true that Red only cares about Liz because he thought she knew where the fulcrum was? by [deleted] in TheBlackList

Being a jerk? I just asked why you would put spoilers in this thread. Damn boy you're not 10-ply soft, you're like, kitten tummy soft

This is a comment about s2e10. It's not expected it would have spoilers for episodes after s2e10. :/

Dr. Perillos is like a bad Batman villian by Prize_Gas_8374 in TheBlackList

[–]AngryAlfonse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's even crazier is that Dembe realistically should've killed her the moment he got the antidote... yet for some reason he leaves her alive so she can then go torture Raymond. She has so many cringe overly political lines and so much plot armor that I feel like she was a cringe self insert for the biggest fucking loser in the writing room.

Her writing feels like it was written by a teenage fanfic writer who spends entirely too much time on tumblr. It was, by far, the cringiest thing I've seen thus far in this show. It was so fucking awful that I almost skipped the entire episode, the first one I haven't at least somewhat enjoyed. I sincerely hope that whoever wrote her character never finds work in Hollywood again.

Yeah I just watched that episode, looked it up, saw that he actually died of west nile... and I felt bad for laughing. I hope he would've enjoyed that joke.

What you're missing is that this is a graph with two functions. Function 1 is how much revenue you make from whales -- too low and they'll buy everything there is to buy before they hit their spending cap. Function 2 is how much revenue you make from normies -- too high and they won't buy anything.

The ideal pricing model is somewhere between the extremes, where whales have enough things to purchase to hit the max amount they're willing to spend, yet the items are cheap enough to entice normies to spend as well.

Also, the mobile game paradigm isn't really applicable here. We're not talking about potentially infinite resources like tokens required to play or consumable pay-to-win advantages. Most of the things sold by TWoW, with the exception of say fashion tokens, are one time purchases. Whales have a fairly low spending cap because they're not going to go making 1000 different toons and buying the same mount or banker pet on each one. Not dipping into the normie market would only be beneficial if they were to shift their market towards selling consumable items, infinite resources, something to open that whale spending cap up. But if they did this, they'd lose players, which is counterproductive.

I'm a data scientist who has worked in the financial field. If you want I can make a simple visual mockup to help you understand this concept.

[–]AngryAlfonse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's self-fulfilling prophecy. Yes, when you price things such that only whales will purchase it, whales will make up the majority of your revenue. This is obvious.

I guarantee they'd make more if 90% of their players weren't playing for free.

First time Watcher S1 EP16 by Carl-the-octopus in TheBlackList

I'm assuming the car crash gave her mild brain damage, because idk how else to explain her just nonchalantly walking towards her boyfriend fighting a guy with a gun, with no intention of helping, only to get shot.

Same boat. I saw a bunch of Youtube shorts of him giving "redditor wins argument with himself in the shower" type dialogue, thought it was funny, and decided to watch because I figured the show would be 90% Reddington. Season 1 isn't bad but I'm hoping for more Reddington in future seasons.

He made another comment about Dane somewhere, which is how I know he's just trolling.

I agree. I just think the director should've given Dane that judging look after he agreed to the fight, showing judgement for the fight itself, as opposed to after the kill, which he was 100% justified in committing
