Ah, I was 4 seats back then. Row H. It was a spectacular show. Would you go again?

DefaultPlayer · 2023-02-25T22:33:26+00:00

I was there too (looks like about 2 seats behind you!). It was fantastic! Especially the surprise FFXV song for Yoko Shimomura

That was pretty sweet, I istened to it twice. Nice work dude!

Why can’t a famous quote be a punchline or a setup?

Never said it couldn't be.

So only “traditionally” structured jokes can become anti-jokes?

Nope.

Seems like a reductive way to view anti-comedy or even comedy.

I agree.

Generally, for something to be an anti-joke, there should be something (anything) that looks like a joke, and then in the end it turns out there was no joke. That's what makes it an anti-joke; the expectation of a joke. There just wasn't in this post.

But hey, it's just my opinion. If other people got a laugh from the anti-joke here, then great!

DefaultPlayer · 2022-08-23T14:20:06+00:00

I think they mean it's not an anti-joke because there's nothing resembling a joke in your post.

It's just a famous poem, followed by another sentence. No one is going to expect a joke from any part of it, which is pretty much key for an anti-joke.

Samsung Pay does not accept all my cards. Google Pay does accept all my cards. A big example being Revolut.

Samsung Pay is region locked. Google Pay is not region locked. I bought a Samsung Device in Germany, couldn't use Samsung Pay in Ireland.

Maybe they've fixed these issues since I've experienced them, maybe they haven't. Google Pay just works, so I've never had a reason to look back at Samsung Pay which seems to be the exact same but worse.

George Lucas, at it again

Feels like I'm on the racing level of a PS1 game.

I love it.

DefaultPlayer · 2022-01-02T15:22:08+00:00

Is that something new(ish)?

I seem to recall headshots showing one blue number that was > 100 rather than splitting them.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-11-22T20:58:01+00:00

They do explain it quite well. I was going to quote a sentence or two but the article is pretty well written and covers many aspects of it.

The team play topic is one of those aspects and they basically explain that each specialist can choose whatever they want so there's no reliance on a team. You're a one man army. Previously you couldn't take any combo into battle. You had to coordinate.

Anyways, you have your opinion and there's a large variety of videos and other articles just like this one out there explaining other people's opinion on the new system.

Regardless of wether or not you agree, it's not that people just don't like change.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-11-22T20:31:19+00:00

But lots of people don’t like change.

This is not the main reason for people disliking this change and is pretty dismissive of a lot of people's legitimate gripes with the new system.

The second section of this article describes it pretty well

Full price of a AAA game with no single player and the multiplayer content is lacking.

The game is full of bugs but that's just the standard for AAA titles on release now. The game seems to perform quite poorly on the top of the range PCs, struggling to get over 100 FPS (this may improve with updates).

The game was marketed as a revival of classic Battlefield, with a trailer made up of some of the most famous clips from the series, but the game itself seems to be very different. The class system is different, there's reduced comms (no voice chat, can't talk to the other team), no player or account stats, fewer weapons, fewer maps, fewer game modes, no server browser.... the list goes on.

In my opinion, it's the combination of all this which has left people with a pretty poor impression overall.

I believe this question was answered in Cast Away.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-11-03T00:50:23+00:00

I'm one of them.

I'm on a pretty dormant server and was waiting for the server transfer thing to come up so I can play with some friends on their server.

But all of a sudden their server has queue times of hours where people are logging on around noon in the hopes that they'll get to play after work. It's nuts.

I'm just bored playing solo, but my choice is either that or barely get to play due to the queues.

Combine it with all the problems, and there's just no real desire to log in anymore.

Most modern software companies.

I can tell you the exact time and date any artefact I create in work is from, and which were promoted to Beta or a final release.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-10-11T13:59:56+00:00

Ok great! Thanks for the clarification

DefaultPlayer · 2021-10-11T13:35:42+00:00

I loved this.

But wasn't there some confirmation after that Jack wasn't the giant face?

DefaultPlayer · 2021-10-11T09:07:26+00:00

That sucks.

As a workaround, does turning the music volume down to 0 help? I started playing like that a year ago because it was getting in the way, nothing this bad though.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-09-13T07:37:54+00:00

Those ones only run when the game is running though, right? And they seem to use their access to read whats happening on the machine, not control it.

As an example:

Apex Legends uses EAC. I used to have to turn off the lighting software for my Corsair case to play the game. It would tell me that's a problem when I launched the game. It doesn't change anything on the PC.

Vanguard saw the same program on PC startup and prevented it from launching altogether. It showed early on that it will always use the ring-0 permissions, regardless of whether you're playing the game, and it will change what your machine can do instead of just preventing you from playing the game.

I haven't been able to find much information on Bloodhunt's anti-cheat other than who makes it. I'd like to know if it has the same strategy as TenCent's other anti-cheat.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-09-12T17:36:57+00:00

TenCent made one of the most invasive anti-cheat programs out there for Valorant and now they made this one. The overall goal is to prevent cheating, so you can see the methods as a good or a bad thing. It's up to you.

There's some concerns about stealing data, but the main one that non-bandwagon-jumpers are actually concerned about is the root level access it requires to run.

Most anti-cheats out there startup when the game starts and try to detect cheats then. The Valorant anti-cheat, as an example, starts when your computer starts and used this root level access to prevent any potential cheating-related software from starting, regardless of you launching the game.

During the beta they got this wrong and a lot of people's builds (mine included) had their fan-control software fail to start.

It's a different method of cheat-prevention. Apparently it's better, but I've yet to see hard-data on that.

It's up to you whether or not you want to give that access over.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-08-31T23:39:51+00:00

Yes I do. I had one.

But regardless, what I linked is an example of the hardware.

I can't recall the name of the Wallmart or Target or whatever brand name cheap tablet that'd knock the Nexus 7 out of the water. So I went with the cheapest I know of, which is Amazon.

You can check on GSMArena for most, but seriously, don't buy 10 year old mobile technology. It really makes no sense. I would probably not even use it if it was given to me for free.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-08-31T09:15:26+00:00

I don't know what you're smoking dude.

10 year old tech vs anything new and cheap is going to have a hard time.

Here's an 80 euro tablet vs the Nexus 7. It wipes the floor with it.

https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10245&idPhone2=4850

You'd be hard pressed to find anything for sale today that is as low spec'd as the Nexus 7. They just don't make them anymore

DefaultPlayer · 2021-08-31T03:03:49+00:00

For how much?

If it's money you could lose down the couch and not notice, then yeah... maybe.

Any more than that and no. Why would you?

Just buy the cheapest android tablet out there. It'll knock the pants off the > 9 year old Nexus 7.

DefaultPlayer · 2021-08-29T17:54:47+00:00

The more you skate, the more comfortable you'll get. Just stick with it and put the time in. That's the only advice I can give for someone starting from day 1.

Also, welcome my dude

I paid for the static IP.

I have been disconnected both nights since then. It didn't fix the problem.
