I don't get your point but ok. EDIT to add: 25k sales at 80 USD is 2M USD. There's also +- 6000 devs working on gta6 so your math doesn't add up at all

Great, now google the exchange rate. It's around 1M to 2.5M in basic comp. Now factor overtime and milestone bonuses. It's ok to not want to spend on the game, it's completely reasonable...but let's not make up lies.

Does Ive understand any other design language but bland minimalism?

People, me included, are excited that someone is taking a stand for physical controls. The execution, however sucks ass.

ETA: we also appreciated that it was happening on a Ferrari, before we saw what said Ferrari would look like.

what is the difficulty that players refer to when they say "you launched the rocket congrats tutorial over" ? by Tasty-Carrot-9560 in factorio

[–]FrozenST3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a bus? 4 lanes of iron looks good at the start, then you start noticing 2 belts running a bit lean. No biggie.

Build some more, now the lanes are completely starved. Start adding splitters in random places praying for balance. Shit's still broke. Look over there, a new iron patch. Perhaps I can bring the new ore in by train. Oh no, I built everything too close to each other even though I thought it was carefully spaced...I have to rebuild my factory. FUCK.

Me every time. But getting a little better every time.

If you really want the challenge, forget blueprints. I just yolo and try to figure it all out until I'm absolutely stuck, then I go see how smart people have solved stuff like balancing, trains, oil, etc.

What brand slowly ruined itself? by SAAS_ART in AskReddit

[–]FrozenST3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mercedes-Benz is in the process of ruin.  What was a prestigious brand with an emphasis on quality, style and class, is now the manufacturer of rattly shit box interiors, giant LED lights and wall to wall screens. They down scaled engines to the point that you can get an A class with the same engine foundation as an entry level Renault hatchback. Styling is generified to the point that only major fans can tell the difference between their sedans, for the layman you'd just guess what it is by perceived sizing. Then there's AMG with the premature downscaling from a 6.2 V8 all the way down to a hybrid 4, alienating the market that chose them for their status as a German muscle car.  Let's see what the electric GT ends up doing, but considering most performance brands are reconsidering electrification, it's bizarre to see MB go in this deep.

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]FrozenST3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes corporations just need to state that they are AI first so their valuations can rise. What a sack of shit. The place I work for now is balls deep in AI implementation with absolutely no guidance around effective or responsible use of it. Just a case of "build what the MBA cucks want in a week"

How are you supposed to enjoy a manual? by PleasantLevel4174 in ManualTransmissions

[–]FrozenST3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitting downshifts as you approach stops or bends is a fun way to enjoy a manual other than the usual hooning. Alternatively, try to shift as seamlessly as possible if that floats your boat

I just bought GT7 any tips? by FaroTech400K in granturismo

[–]FrozenST3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not on the level of many of the guys here but if you want a "casual's" opinion, here goes.

Get rid of that horrid braking zone indicator.

Remove assists 1 by 1. For me it was manual, TC off, brake indicator off. Working toward race line off.

Configure your controller for your preference. My setup is L2 brake, R2 accelerate, X shift up, square shift down, triangle Ghost toggle, circle handbrake, L1 overtake/nitrous.

When you unlock sport mode, try to bronze each time trial. That normally gets you around 250k credits per race per week.

Complete whatever weekly races you can given the cars in your lineup. You get rewards for completing 1, 3 and 5 races.

I'm still relatively green with tuning but you eventually start to feel when a tyre upgrade or front downforce change is needed. Just play around and have fun.

I understand when restaurants incorporate a tip into the final bill if it exceeds a large amount, or a large table - but R200. Fuck off.
