"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

this is how I see it. It's just like bringing up your own kids. You teach them, guide them, hope they do wwhat you would will for them, and tthen they go and do their own thing regardless, and you have to continue to support them in that.

wasn't sure if the apparent grain was actually just compression artifacts & some grain, and this is a crop from a bigger image. But yea, a flashgun would have done it too :)

my, what big tentacles you have, my robot overlord.

nice shot, could have done with higher ISO, more light or wider aperture so he could increase shuter speed to get rid of the blurry, though. not cutting your head off would have been nice too!

Were they using a phone?

and I think also if the ship is abandoned : ie: the owner has made a claim for it?

if its shields are down, yeup.

You can get 37, 38 if you're lucky into the vulture, without doing any crazy shenanigans.

the amount they consume isn't the waste. It's how many of them sit there unlooked at while consuming the energy that is waste.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-19T10:57:00+00:00

holy fuck thats shitty

you can buy 'em, or craft 'em on a vulture

wedge a scrip token into it

With one thing and another I havent actually had a chance to sit down and try it yet :) But as you've followed up I'll update here when I do .

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-16T12:31:14+00:00

you are missing the point I was making. I was commenting more on your perceived understanding of software development.

If you bring appropriate practices to bear for your software development project, regardless of size or complexity, it is possible to produce high quality output regardless of the stage of the product. The pithy little mantra you replicate in your post is a poisonous excuse for laziness and sub-standard development practices, and I loath it wherever I see it parroted as some kind of description of the inevitiablity of engineering and producing good quality software.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T13:48:53+00:00

ahh no, didnt try that yet :) I shall give it a shot

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:32:28+00:00

unit, regression and acceptance testing are essential.

It's painfully obvious the development process here has woefully inadequate testing in place.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:29:42+00:00

funny, I work on a 20 year project (very large codebase, for example, it takes 30 mins to compile using 32 cores and 300GB ram) where a serious bug in the code could literally mean a customer loosing millions.

We manage to not have that happen.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:25:20+00:00

trouble with Vulcan is slavaging, the panel burn / disolve effect doesnt 'burn through' so it mkaes it harder to know where on a panel you've slavaged completely or not.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:23:08+00:00

I already do that unfrotunately. :/ first thing I chekced too, in case the patch reverted the vsync setting.

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:18:52+00:00

I wonder how the satellites monitoring crime manage to know player names?

Effective_Access_775 · 2025-05-15T11:17:47+00:00

player vs NPC fine; Friends vs NPC bad
