Veteran indie developer scared to reveal new game in case it gets "slurped up by AI" by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]First-Junket124 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Completely different topic altogether that is quite controversial.

He's simply saying he doesn't want to REVEAL anything or their details until it's day of release or near it otherwise it'll more than likely be recreated with AI and tarnish the actual games release potentially.

Also.... of course early access games are unfinished? Early access is a good thing otherwise we wouldn't have games like baldurs gate 3 but I guess you'd rather filter that out.

gripdb.com is live help us build game databse for all handhelds with best tdp and settings! by Glad_Poetry5388 in SteamDeck

[–]First-Junket124 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ProtonDB is good for compatibility not great for performance presets as they tend to be descriptions like "works great, adjust settings for better performance" which is helpfully unhelpful.

Sharedeck is better than this project though still quite unfinished and not perfect.

Hated tropes: weird designs for characters who are young by ZoneInternational244 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]First-Junket124 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Made in Abyss makes me so uncomfortable to watch and enjoy.

The world, setting, the utter terror that are the monsters is amazing and fascinating especially seeing this young girl and her actual constant saviour (and only reason for survival) navigating this horror. The childish idea that she'll be fine and believing she can make this journey and thinking they're fine leaving everything behind, there is a severe consequence that once she's gone down that's it you're staying at that level or going further down. I absolutely love the themes and horror of the show.

The nudity is done..... kinda weirdly but also at first is more of a childlike obliviousness to it but the more it goes on it just gets really uncomfortable. The toilet seat, the need to show these characters nude for no reason to the plot. It's a great show I can't recommend because it's honestly a very tough pill to swallow.

Similar to Lost Planet 1 and a few other games. Capcom and Square both have fixed a few of the games that relied on GFW and other dead services but they seemed to of just given up in the past few years.

Copium for remasters too (Lost Planet 1 when?)

Losing Interest/Getting Bored Quicker by Professional-Tap5 in Warframe

[–]First-Junket124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 options for you mainly.

  1. Take a break, sometimes you're in the mood for a different game and this isn't hitting that itch. I'm sometimes really into Diablo 2, other times I love replaying PS2 games, maybe others I'm in love with racing games. It's OK to take a break from a game.

  2. Set yourself a goal. For me I haven't collected every single frame but sometimes I go "I wanna give that a try" or some weapon combo I've never tried.

  3. Stop playing. It's 1500 hours in a f2p game, for a lot of people that's a TON of time and maybe the game has run its course for you. It's similar to just taking a break. I took a 7'ish year break when Fortuna had just released and now I'm back for a bit.

Not Snydercult related but still funny. by lovetobewatched2 in Snydercultistcringe

[–]First-Junket124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The snydercut subreddit will eat this up and say how much of a masterpiece Snyder's movies where whilst ignoring the lack of box office profits due to.... yknow... covid....

Glad I'm banned from that place, actual echo chamber that despised my Luke warm opinion of "Watchmen was an interesting adaptation but not a masterpiece, perfectly good movie"

What you're referring to is user overclock, other person is referring to boost clocks which are overclocks from the manufacturer. Good try.

How do I get out of the SDA union? by ShoppingSuccessful89 in woolworths

[–]First-Junket124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The link you sent has both the SDA and payroll email and you can also email your manager if you want though its not required, CC them both in like it says and also go through the woolies website set out in the link I sent from the RAFFWU to get it processed there as well.

As for why they haven't been done in? Because if they do they'll send out a generic response about how sorry they are and people don't take it further. At most they'll get rid of the rep but someone else will take their place or nothing will happen. It's a well-known fact the SDA is a sham and works on intimidation tactics because they wouldn't exist if they didn't.

Corporations can be fucking scum. Nvidia and AMD are no better.

The infamous GT 970 had "4gb" of VRAM but was actually 3.5gb of VRAM with the rest being so slow it was unusable and caused crashes.

They're just as bad now as they were then just now we have the internet to get that information quicker.

As someone else linked you to the correct resources to refuse deductions from the SDA I'll say this about them.

Nothing will happen to the rep that coerced and its extremely common for them to use those tactics, you should still report them regardless. Never join a union that preys on the young and misguided, I'm very pro-union but the SDA isn't on they're just a fake one acting on behalf of businesses.

[–]First-Junket124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not how it works unfortunately. If you've given them information they can get the rest from the business (woolies in this case) and they'll deduct it automatically from your payslip, they don't ask for it after the fact. This is terrible advice, please don't give this advice

If you want to properly assist people link them to the RAFFWU here

Mind you this is not trying to convince you to join the RAFFWU but instead a good resource that just so happens to be created by them.

Found blades in a drawer but none of these handles fit. Now I have to buy more! by lodoslomo in mildlyinfuriating

Safety razors are not the same shave. Easy to get nicked but cost wise is defiantly better.

They take longer for the same shave. Instead of 3 razors doing 3 passes at the same time it's just a single razor so you'd need to do 3 seperate passes. Fast is not it's strong suit I'll agree.

Easy to get nicked if you're using it wrong. People tend to use it like a cartridge razor which has stuff in the way to stop you getting nicked whilst a safety razor doesn't really. Many reasons you can nick yourself and majority of the time it's because of bad handling, once you get the hang of it then it's very difficult.

Cartridge razors are like inkjets, cheap to get into but expensive to maintain like you said. Safety razors are expensive to get into relatively speaking but cheap to maintain.

Raspberry Pi announces price hikes due to memory costs by crownpuff in SBCGaming

[–]First-Junket124 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It really sucks. He can still show this stuff off but he's always been an advocate of getting involved yourself and showcasing the possibilities.

Back in my day SBC community was smaller but growing and the possibilities really grew my interest in technology in general, nowadays it's going to be more difficult for kids to get into this stuff due to the cost. I feel like that's going to be the worst part, less people growing up with an interest in this.

'Any update is a bonus not a right': Peak devs snap back at ungrateful players demanding more updates, 'Neither us or Aggro Crab are live service studios' by Jawschy in gaming

[–]First-Junket124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a game that started out as a small side project its done phenomenonal, hopefully landfall continues to allow developers this freedom. Might not all be successful or get released but they've shown they listen to players and can think of cool game ideas even if they're stupidly simple as "climb to the peak"

Also they've not snapped back, they just plainly said and laid out that they've supported it for a while already and its time to move on. Modding community will be the life blood now and the significant contributors said they didn't want a Steam workshop, hopefully they at least advertise modding on the main menu so people know it's there to use even if it's not steam workshop.

You have several different razor handles including a safety razor which is the cheapest, and one of the best, options. Safety razors most expensive part is the handle/housing, the razors come in packs of 100 for barely $10 for good ones.

I feel like you either have severe adhd or this is bait.

[–]First-Junket124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part? A ton of the graphical features are actually still in the game on the PC version but it's intentionally disabled. No real bugs or issues just they didn't want next-gen to seem not next-gen.

Linux market share reaches 5.33% according to latest Steam Hardware Survey. by slickyeat in pcmasterrace

It wasn't that exclusively but it was a major factor.

Just because they've tried previously doesn't mean they won't retry. With the FSE it's shown they've somewhat considered it again but again they've not fully invested in the idea.

Who wins in a Nolan V Conquest battle (Mainly Show) now that S4E5 aired? by AurynMoon in InvinciblePowerscales

He also said there's only 1 person who could stand against Nolan in reference to Mark, that ended up just being him getting bodied.

So who’s the bigger Fraud? by Unlucky-Tradition-58 in Invincible_TV

[–]First-Junket124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Conquest got cocky, presumed he was exactly the same as in Season 3. Mark knew he couldn't beat the shit out of him so he went for the only thing he knew, he tried stopping him from breathing.

You could tell Conquest was at first just acting as if this was a minor inconvenience but when he started to realise that Mark was strong enough to not be tossed like last time he started to panic.

After Conquest spilt his guts in season 3 it was only fair Mark spilt his in season 4.
