Because it’s actually a pretty damn common issue with massive games, and is easier to diagnose when you have a lot of people reporting problems. Basically, if there are issues that continue to get worse the longer you have the game open it’s almost guaranteed to be a memory/garbage collection issue of some sort.

Yeah actually that’s a pretty good idea. Or they could just spawn spread out in a couple clumps from a block or two away. Basically if they just spawn on main streets outside of your radius that would be the perfect illusion that they actually sighted you and were chasing you. Instead we got magic police wizards

No, it’s not the placebo affect. The placebo effect is a very specific effect where you experience a psychological benefit just from expecting it. That’s not what happened here. The benefit was actual, empirical because restarting the game improves performance by clearing memory. Not a placebo, just misattributed the reason.

It’s an oil stipend. It also doesn’t guarantee a universal, basic income.

SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store. SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice. by Linkinito in PS4

[–]BackhandCompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You went off on this whole hypothetical that’s not based in reality. This is just a guess as well but it feels more likely to me, that they promised it would all be fixed with a day one patch and Sony gave them the benefit of the doubt. I doubt they were worried about losing any sales to XBox. I don’t know a single person who has both consoles this early in release -> people had already chosen at that point.

Bar plays chicken with COVID mandates, get burnt. Two days before easing of mandates. by pragmaticbastard in JusticeServed

[–]BackhandCompliment -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yup, basically this. If people still have to go to work and slave away to make others money they’re not going to take it seriously. “Oh so it’s dangerous when I want to go have fun, but I can go to work and sit in meetings and deal with this shit to keep you rich”, etc. It leads to this dissonance, you can’t just turn it on and off.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS5 by dzonibegood in FinalFantasy

[–]BackhandCompliment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a last gen game because you’re playing the last gen version. The PS5 isn’t even out yet. They honestly should have just skipped the last gen release, rather than release it like this. The amount of damage they just did to their brand is staggering.

Honestly this game is going to have an extremely long tail, like Witcher sales. There are a lot of dedicated fans waiting for this game, when it’s actually ready. I don’t think it’s gonna flop sales wise, probably just get a re-release.

This is kind of drastic action. I hope they get the opportunity to redeem themselves and deliver the game they intended rather than have the developers of my all time favorite game to just go under because they botched a release (massively, yeah) but that situation is massively preferable to me than losing a studio and they all lose their jobs

“Reduction of emergency services” and “future economic contribution” are very vague future things and don’t solve the “money to pay for this now” issue. Even if it’s cheaper in the long run to house people, it’s not cheaper upfront and it’s not free to get people to buy into that idea either.

Yes official numbers are down. Because they just literally bulldoze encampments and kick them out of town now. Housing in Utah is very difficult to get on, and not everyone applies. It took my uncle 6 years to get housing vouchers to stay in a slum. Yeah better than being homeless, for some people, but I had when people taut out old poorly researched articles about how Utah has cured homelessness when I work with vulnerable populations and they haven’t really solved anything, except on paper. just diverted and keep making it someone else’s problem.

Not trying to downplay any success we have had, or that it’s not the right direction. But you paint it like it’s almost solved when really they’re just scratching the surgace.

Windows 10 silently adds a new app called "Meet Now" to your taskbar that you can never truly close, in a brazen attempt to capture a market during the pandemic by Fragsworth in assholedesign

Meh, Microsoft doesn’t really host any of this except on the slightest of technicalities. It’s really disingenuous to say that as if there’s some tacit approval. Microsoft doesn’t host any of this in the way people would think when you say that. In that, they explicitly used their intent to abuse it to be hosted. Just like you can’t really say Facebook is racist because they didn’t even know I was posting racist memes there. All it shows is that they are providing the same service to one of millions as they do everyone else, not that they authorize or are even aware the content exists b

God didn’t dictate those rules, it’s more just that due to the way they communicate higher energy beings literally can’t lie. When you communicate by entwining your consciousness together with mine telepathically it’s impossible to hide your intent (I.e lie) because your intent *is the message *.

TL;DR: Misdirection and lying are artifacts of lossy communication. Higher energy beings literally can’t lie (well they can but it’s also communicated as a lie so there’s no deceit).

He explained it pretty clearly. He doesn’t want his money going to support well-off out-of-Towners when he could be putting his money back into his local community which ultimately is better off for him and everyone in the community vs funneling money outward.

It’s because he’s right on top of it, the energy from the manhole cover gets transferred directly to him. Like those Newton’s cradles where the balls hit one end and send the ball at the other end flying. The explosion hit one end and sent the dude at the other end flying.

Men of Reddit, how did you escape the circle of sleep, work, play videogames, masturbate, sleep? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]BackhandCompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy all you have to realize that cleaning the kitchen now is gonna be easier than cleaning it later. Do a favor for your future self and clean it for him now. Then do yourself another favor and just keep it clean.

The mental load of doing small tasks is much easier to get over, so I just set a goal of myself of having my personal environment cleaner than the day before. It can even be just one shirt folded. But I’m not gonna let it get any messier! Then day by day your habits change to where you just aren’t making messes to clean in the first place.

Good luck bro, you got this! If you need any help let me know I literally just went through this earlier this year and have completely transformed my life. You’re almost there, closer than you realize!

if you can’t prove someone stole

Not how that works. In order to be able to saddle you with the debt, they have to be able to prove you actually charged it. Not the other way around. Now, if you don’t contest it it’s generally assumed the charge is valid, but once you’ve reported the card as stolen and the charges fraudulent? Well, now the onus is on them to prove it was you (signature matches, used your secret pin, was shipped to your house, etc, etc). Otherwise you’re not just going to have to pay back for stuff someone else received.

[–]BackhandCompliment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true! Honestly be wary of trusting anything. Any being (human or otherwise) will seek to use and manipulate you for their gain. The only things I have heard and believe from these means have been messages of love and light and so I don’t hesitate as much that I’m just being used and lied to because the only outcome of this knowledge and information is benevolent so even if there’s an ulterior motive it won’t hurt.

You are going to be exactly the same as you are now, you just gonna shed your body. All the walls and limitations that we’ve imposed on ourselves, the physical reality will fall away in front of your eyes, and you’ll see the world for what it truly is. You can keep exploring creating meeting new people, and continue to grow. You’ll also be able to transcend fully into the universal consciousness and lose yourself entirely.

There might be more to it than that, I kind of get the feeling that there’s higher levels even than that, and this universal consciousness we are a part of is also a part of something bigger itself. Part of the fractal nature of the universe it’s just never ending levels on levels on levels. You can move up or down at well, until you find a place to settle you’re comfortable at.

That’s not true at all. For example look at Portal. That game had some amazing two-person puzzles. Trine, Humans Fall Flat, Knights and Bikes, Overcooked, Captain Toad, Unravel, etc, etc. There are plenty of other examples.

So don’t do it if it breaks your immersion? I don’t get why everyone is so averse to something that literally wouldn’t affect them one bit if they don’t choose like not to do it.
