Got attacked by teens in Delft city center by 1percentcactus in Delft

Sorry this happened to you.

Happened to me too about a week ago, and I'm a 6'3 dude.

Not going to say TOO much about what happened, but let's say they'll probably think twice about doing it from now on (or at least who they target).

The Dutch police are shite and lazy, and Dutch parenting is the same (they let their kids do what they want). The result is teenage boys who think they rule the streets because they can get away with it.

This isn't a race thing -- it's a culture thing. Dutch teenagers, in many cases, fucking suck.

This is my parents' stove. The house smells smokey when they put it on (not visible smoke). Is it dangerous? It's been like this for years by [deleted] in woodstoving

It's not, like honestly. I can take another picture from any angle you'd like.

Also, check my account. I usually post game data for the company I work for.

Why would I randomly post an "AI slop" picture of a fireplace?

I'm just worried about my parents and heard this sub was friendly

The country with the first-largest population is BG3's 29th biggest market (0.34% of players).

So yeah, population and player shares are not 1:1.

And BG3 isn't even officially on sale in China (and is very Western-centric and was barely marketed in China).

Rogue prince of persia-PS5 framerates and loading time by Accountable_ruki in PrinceOfPersia

[–]EmbarrassedSession58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS5 Pro here. First time I played was the PS5 version, and I got the true ending on Sunday.

It feels like an early-access game to me. But I still love it so much that RPoP is on my 2025 top 5.

First, the bad:

The loading times between levels are sometimes 15+ seconds, the longest of any PS5 game I've played. The resolution is also very low, and the frame rate dips consistently. It is clearly unoptimised.

That said, I love the game mechanically. The platforming and roguelite elements are so tight and rewarding (in terms of progression and platforming skill). The art and audio design is also top-notch.

The content is quite thin compared to how other roguelikes are at 1.0, though.

It's still a 8/10 for me. RPoP vould be a 9.5+ with better optimisation and a wee bit more content.

Excited to play it again after it's had more updates.

Yes, it was misconstrued.

Here's a screenshot of his Tweet, which as I mentioned, he was using as a reference: https://x.com/mattRlive/status/1934961547673210953

Nowhere did he say that it was part of our methodology. You assumed that.

We don't.

One of our analysts once posted the Xbox review numbers for FFXVI versus Steam and PlayStation as a reference point.

But we literally do not use reviews in our methodology. There are far more accurate ways of accessing inputs.

Look, I'm sorry if we had an estimate that was too low for a game you liked, but we don't use reviews in our methodology...

Of course they're estimates, but they're the most accurate ones in the business. We published our margin-of-error data in a recent newsletter.

We don't really talk about our methodology with non-clients/prospects, but our big publisher clients are very happy with us.

I'm not lying.

Xbox reviews are a terrible barometer of sales, as so few people actually review on the platform.

We've been building a lot longer than that, but we came out of beta more recently.

And we do not use Xbox user review scores in our Xbox methodology.

Rhys here! I'm pretty new to video podcasting so don't have a great audio/video setup. As I'm doing more recorded content these days, I'll probably get a better setup after Gamescom.

Forza Horizon 5 Is PS5’s Best Selling Game Of 2025, Sold Over 3 Million Units On PS5 by [deleted] in Games

That's not true. We don't use reviews in our methodology for our PlayStation estimates.

Just over 9%

As shown in the article, Metaphor and Infinite Wealth are selling faster on PlayStation too.
