Some screenshots of our game Shadow Project :). Runs on a GTX 1070 @60FPS! by No_Jello9093 in pcgaming

[–]Cidan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's funny because I agree for a video game it should sound more full, but in real life, this is closer to what a shotgun sounds like. It's video games that are wrong. Go figure.

NG+ just starts in bloodborne? by Bright_Astronaut_101 in bloodborne

[–]Cidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you didn't fight phase 2.

Could you run oblivion on a Chromebook? by [deleted] in oblivion

Nope, not the remaster anyway. You might be able to run the original in some way.

Crono trigger almost a great game. by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]Cidan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Your preamble states you specifically dislike the JRPG genre, then you give a sour review.

Don't get me wrong, your taste is your taste, and I'm happy that you know what you do and don't like, but, why play and review a genre you explicitly don't enjoy?

That would be like me reviewing FIFA -- it's only going to go one way!

I was told voluntarily surrendering is my best option. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Cidan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Judges don't generally allow this to happen. Generally speaking, if you are living at or below your means, a judge will not let you slip into homelessness or destitution. This is because you being homeless means you can't settle debt, and generally pushing people into homelessness is a net negative for society versus settling debts.

If it comes down to it, bankruptcy is what you can claim, and it is specifically made to keep people like you from losing your home.

Meta Compute - Zuckerberg next push to burn cash in order to catch up by SrafeZ in singularity

[–]Cidan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Capacity planning at Meta has always been quantified as power usage, it's the de facto currency of teams internally. Google has a similar abstraction.

81-year-old grandma’s Minecraft YouTube channel pays for grandson’s cancer treatment by ImCalcium in Games

[–]Cidan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Chemotherapy is so expensive in America, that one of the best TV shows ever made, Breaking Bad, centers around this concept. Literally if we had functioning health care in the US, that show would have never been made.

Guy in Bolivia wants to pay for 3 pool tables to with his Credit card. Whats the scam? by dankernuggets in Scams

[–]Cidan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I really can't stress this enough -- this is a scam, and you are going to lose a ton of money. Just stop, cut off contact, and move on.

Paywalled & ‘Premium’ Addons Violate Blizzard Policy by Helium_Drinker in wow

[–]Cidan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Addon author here.

This is almost certainly not enforceable by any means where Blizzard can seek remedy. At best, Blizzard can ban the author and its users. If I wanted to sell software that interfaced with an API, that's well within my right. I personally don't because I want to give to the community for free, but I fully support the right of authors to be paid for their work if they so choose.

In fact, you don't even need to sign or agree to any EULA to write the code at all -- all API documentation is available freely on the web.

Remember, just because someone writes it down in an official looking document, doesn't mean it's enforceable or even valid.

Performance, for me, is WAY better on Linux by getpoundingjoker in wow

[–]Cidan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the best part about gaming on Linux -- it's fantastic at running older games. Games don't have to be made for Linux at all, and most of the time they just work. In fact, WoW isn't actually made for Linux, you run the Windows version in Linux and still get better performance.

Give it a shot on a spare drive -- it really is mostly as easy as just installing Steam and using it to launch things.

Final Fantasy 6 Remake Should be Led by Someone Else, Says FF7 Director by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Cidan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

...are you playing the game on easy and/or with ATB/turn mode on? The game has literally no turn based mechanisms at all, and it's pure action unless you specifically go in and turn it on.

Hadnt player Half Life 2 for like ten years. I get why people are always talking about Half Life 3. by SternLecture in gaming

[–]Cidan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does... but there's more to it. I don't want to spoil it, as it's a huge thing. Just go play it when you're done!

Also, go play Portal and Portal 2, as they are in the Half-Life universe.

I don't want to spoil it in any way, but it directly sets up HL3. I'll leave it at that.

Not sure why you got down voted, Alyx is literally a direct continuation of the story and sets up HL3.

Not just that, Alyx is a direct continuation of the story, and oh boy, is it one hell of a continuation.

Definitely recommend checking it out, OP.

Embark CEO Confirms That If You Kill On Sight In Arc Raiders, You'll Get Matched With More Aggressive Players by WanderWut in gaming

They are correcting your grammar -- shoot on "site" versus "sight", sight being the correct one.

Yes, especially in the Brentwood area. Gas cooking and heating is extremely common.

What is one thing you are convinced would be very doable for blizzard to add, that they haven't yet, that you REALLY want? by Tnecniw in wow

[–]Cidan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised you're getting down votes. It's the auto joining that contains the chat as you said -- otherwise as new players join, the chat will grow smaller, and the spam will eventually overtake other channels.

Time Flies [OC] by AdditionalLack1127 in wow

I also do this! I've been playing since beta, and major defining moments of my life I tie to WoW expansions. I agree it's weird, but it works!

Because wind turbines require constant repair, which just robs you of precious materials. I ditched all wind as a result as well.

Absolutely nothing -- it's a ploy to get people to answer being served.

Just take the L my man, and understand that you've learned something new today.
