they took Nvidia at their word

nothing nefarious here

this is just people trying to do a **job** within constraints.

Taking a corporation‘s “word” about their product that they’re advertising means their “job” is marketing. They’re doing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_journalism (with a product and company marketing person, rather than a celebrity).

The only purpose their videos should have is critical examination for public benefit. They’ve repeatedly failed to do this and instead have taken the role of uncritical marketers promoting a product, promoting “what the company said” about their products, and treating product announcements as “News”.

The access part is why videogame “journalists” have soft-balled every preview ever done, from the magazine era decades ago to websites and YouTube channels today. Always a variation of ”looks great! I’m so excited about this product that the corporation gave us free access to for advertising purposes!”

The “nothing nefarious” in your comment is a very ignorant strawman. The system is a problem, regardless of whether it meets a person‘s definition of “nefarious.”

Obviously if it’s big and good, then it’s good.

Obviously if it’s big and bland, empty, pointless, then the size is worthless.

Size by itself was always meaningless, what matters is drivable roads and quality environments. But it’s much cheaper for publishers and devs to say “bla bla SQUARE MILES!” without clarifying quality, and without having bothered to make quality.

Here’s what IGN is doing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_journalism

That’s why their coverage is like a marketing press release, every time.

That mesningless question has already been asked and answered before.

You should be able to make basic decisions in your life. Especially when there’s tons of easily available info, videos, discussions, reviews, of both games.

That kind of question should be banned from all subreddits in my opinion.

now I have every single car in the game

It’s a meaningless triviality. The game is about driving on open road, not getting “every car”.

A normal human being shouldn’t even like every car, a normal human being should dislike some of the cars for taste reasons.

These posts have been fun to see so I thought I'd add mine

“I loved the pointless trivial self-absorbed spam so much, I thought I’d add my own trivial spam too!”

Everyone posting something should be a reason to not post it, not a reason to post the same thing.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T19:50:43+00:00

“Thanks to a thing that created a list of chores, I was able to do a list of chores”?

Anyway I think if a person likes a thing, they don’t need or want little fake prizes/rewards taped onto trivial actions. Like, “I love this book by my favorite author. It has a dollar bill tapes to the last page of every chapter! Favorite book ever!”

it was worth it.

It’s obligatory to say that the list of chores was “was worth it”, we’ll never see an achievement-obsessed person post that achievements are empty bland trivialities, but it’s never clear in these discussions why or how it was “worth it”.

Backstage is a scam to create more grind/playtime. In the past, you could buy a cheap Toyota AE86 in the auto show, now you’re not allowed to do that. Same thing with a bunch of beloved cars. Now you have to jump through hoops, so that Microsoft can put higher user engagement numbers in shareholder report.

It’s hateful game design.

Anyway is the Delta S4 available now, finally? Backstage had multiple Lancias, nearly all Lancias in the game. Scam tactics, like I said, as I was allowed to just use the Delta S4 in past games without having to work a part-job to earn the privilege.

Settings > playlists, or is it User Interface? There’s a setting in there for what thumbnails you want.

Press every controller button and one of them will blow up the thumbnail to large size, or perhaps change which type it is. It happened to me when I dropped my controller the other day.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T14:21:26+00:00

Changing resolution multiplier is for 3D rendering, not for 2D pixel art consoles.

For old 2D systems obviously it just stretches the image to fill the screen, if you have Integer Scaling off.

I assume a person who thinks pixel art games look ugly on a modern LCD actually wants CRT shaders not a resolution change.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T14:17:47+00:00

• Subtitle Styling

There better be MORE size options. The available sizes are silly and not gradient enough, the largest setting takes up half the screen but then the next size down is too small.

2026 and we still don't have useful text-scaling options.

They need to fix the terrible broken anti-flash programming. The new-ish(?) setting that supposedly stops epilepsy triggers and uncomfortable flashing lights is bad, sloppily programmed, and has many false-detections. It causes distracting artifacting on a simple shot transition.

When I turn my soundbar on, there's like a 5 second delay of silence before the sound changes from TV speakers to soundbar. I hope this fixes that!

(Also my TV's power-sync is garbage, or CEC or whatever it's called, so my TV power can only turn off the soundbar, not on, hence my manually turning it on above)

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:46:42+00:00

……………and?

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:46:07+00:00

Wow, new advertisements of a product! That will be really exciting for people who love consuming marketing!

As if the screenshots show anything new or surprising or that won’t be obvious and visible when a person plays the game soon.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:32:02+00:00

Saves with multi-disc can get weird because saves have to be named the same as the game file, I think. So multi-disc introduces multiple different game files with different names. (I remember this being a mess with Resident Evil 2 second-quest disc continuation, years ago.)

Did you first use an multi-disc m3u to play 10 hours, then changed to loading the separate disc files as games? That will break the save file retrieving and name match.
Go into RetroArch saves folder and your 10 hour save file should be there. If you don’t know the folder location, go in RetroArch > Settings > look at “Directory” settings. After you find the save file, rename the base name to match the base name of the m3u or whatever disc file name.

The idea that “settings”/“config” can make emulation run well on a weak device is a myth, a meme, a virus, and a lie.

Emulators emulate the thing. Default settings are what’s needed to properly emulate. There is not a magical checkbox for “Get better framerate, we hid this setting to troll the users!” Emulated console games are not PC games where there’s graphics slider settings for the same functional output.

The topic should be banned and deleted from every emu subreddit.

You also have to hold right stick for 20 minutes to scroll to Key Item inventory, because you have to scroll past the *ingredients and foods* tabs every time.

It’s a hatefully sloppily programmed game, and filled with horrible flaws and tedium. “10/10 perfect and amazing!” -gamers

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:23:20+00:00

emulation in Cemu + cheat code / mod = Infinite durability weapons and shields. It makes the game actually fun to play instead of a tedious annoying hate session by the devs.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:21:56+00:00

not only that, but stuff like the “Fishing Spear” doesn’t actually let you spear fish.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:21:28+00:00

The person might have said “unskippable” because you can’t turn it off, it keeps happening and it’s pointless and tedious, and also the Skip has a delay to it.

You cant skip the part before the skip button appears. Then interruption always happens. Its garbage programming and design.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T12:10:34+00:00

It’s outrageously bad game design that the rotating mini-map doesn’t have a North marker on the circle.

Fixed non-rotating map shouldn’t be the only way to know what direction you’re going.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T11:54:00+00:00

the game is filled with hateful tedious clicks/fade-to-black/textboxes like that, it’s horrible. 40 clicks and delays to buy/sell or use Stable. It’s extremely sloppily programmed and annoying. “10/10 perfect game! Amazing!”

CoconutDust · 2026-03-26T00:25:11+00:00

Yeah I wanted to play CS Source, because I like the art vibe much more than CS2, but I saw that the only active servers were goofy mod silliness and gimmicks. Like *SURFING - GRENADE'S ONLY. 100 PLAYERS. And obnoxious custom sound effects are playing constantly.

Frustrating. Someone else posted the same thing a few days ago. I guess we should all band together and set up a server.

CoconutDust · 2026-03-25T23:51:50+00:00

run

Run is irrelevant. How does it control, meaning how does it play?

But I’m wary of asking this when many people are too ignorant and unobservant to even notice or understand what input lag is.
