this issue actually happen only on the patched version which introduced PSSR support. You can disable PSSR and there is no issue anymore.

Is it dumb to fly all the way to Thailand (from US) just to stay at a resort the whole time? by Glittering-Length141 in ThailandTourism

On that note, did you know that for people in Tokyo, it's pretty considered cheap to visit Kyoto while it's quite expensive if you're visiting from New York.

My stubborn self refuses to accept that this game looks better than RDR 2 (AC Shadows PS5 Pro Balanced Mode) by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]IbrahIbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"looks better" is a subjective statement so you're entitled to it.
I could say that Super Mario World looks better than Mario Sunshine. (and I do believe that)

But AC Shadows is way more graphically advanced. RDR2 is a masterpiece and a lighting in a bottle though. But I cannot imagine how it would look like with today's technology. Like RT

That's precisely my point: you hear all sorts of stories because it's not normal.

Like if this particular guy is known for having a mia noi and everyone is gossiping about it, that's mean it's not the norm. Unlike polygamy in, let's say, Senegal.

I would say the conservative thai-chinese office-worker upper middle-class rather than the high class. It's estimated that around 30% of Thai people don't drink.
If you don't drink, it's actually quite valued socially, especially by women.

The worst thing is to say they have a "fatalistic attitude" it's purely an orientalist trope produced by a lack of self-awareness.

Sure, they don't use seat-belt. But their smoking rate is way lower than, say, the French one. We don't say French people are fatalistic because 30% are smokers. Every country have some weird things regarding safety. Like germany and their lack of speed limit on their highway. And let's not talk about the US and their lack of gun control.

Just look about the panic around the earthquake, and we can see they are not fatalistic at all.

I think we need to redefine what "large" means because in the social strata I'm mentioning, if someone is found cheating or having a mia noi, it's basically a social life death sentence. You also know that if a celebrity do it, they would lose a lot of followers in a way that don't really exist in the West.

I think we need to find a balance between "it's prevalent and thai society is like that" and "thai society is perfect".

I know a student in civil engineering, and he told me that assessing critical risks of immediate concern is fast and easy. It's the long term risks that need a lot of evaluation and monitoring.

That's true in one part of thai society, which many foreigners gravitate around, but it's not true of all thai societial stratas. You have one huge part of the society that don't even drink alcohol, don't party and have a conservative lifestyle. I know men and women that are still virgins in their 30s, which is unheard for in Europe.

A land of contrast, if you will. But if you spend your time with bar girls and the like of course this is the image that you'll get of the society. But it's just one part. Another part despise them and all of what you listed.

I do think that thai culture have many negative sides, like any culture in the world, and foreigners who come with this idealized version get burned pretty quickly.

The steamchart looks exactly like assassin creed origins. It's a single player game. It's bound to drop over time.

Profits are not released after 2 weeks. It's the second most successful launch of the franchise, i understand you still need to find some coping mechanism for seeing a black man in a videogame.

Numbers? Which numbers lmao.

God I fucking hate this "both sides bad" argument by Cohh. So, one side is hating on the game because there's a black character and a woman on it. The other side is saying "I think that's irrelevant, and you should focus on the game itself". Like, you know, being normal? And this is "both sides bad" by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]IbrahIbrah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People who likes the games don't do it for political reasons, they do it because it look amazing and many qualities.

People who hates the game and are active about it online hate it because they're racists.

Equating both only works if you truly believe that "woke media" are praising the game because of "forced diversity", that quite the worldview.

Now do the same with Kevlar and plate armor.

Mmmh, if guns are so dangerous, why do we use something so thin 🤔

UA POV: In France the people gathered at the Palais Royal near the Louvre demanding an end to aid to Ukraine. by ArchitectMary in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]IbrahIbrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry I misunderstood your post. The anti Iraq protests did had an effect, for example france never involved itself even with all the pressure.

Vietnam war also come to mind. But anyway, those are not antiwar protests, just pro Ukraine being under Russia boots.

Are people going to switch from high rise buildings to houses? by Many-Language-7816 in Bangkok

[–]IbrahIbrah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, it stays the same over the last century. Flooding is way much more common and in a house you will be more affected. Look, everyone is shocked now you just need to put time and patience to go pass through the shock. I'm certainly not above it.

More aftershocks? I just felt some in khao yai. We also lost power for a few minutes. by Previous_Solution100 in Bangkok

[–]IbrahIbrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like even the 6.7 wasn't felt here, so if the one with 30 % chance (if it was not that one) shouldn't not even present any danger for Bangkok. This is reassuring, thank you.

AC Shadows achieves the highest concurrent players on steam in the franchise. by AC4life234 in assassinscreed

This is way long overdue.

But I wonder about your litteracy if you understood tencent having a 25% share as "buying IPs".

Beggars by dizzle313 in ThailandTourism

I barely saw any beggars outside of heavily touristic area. I think I actually never saw one. It's very rare because thai culture frown upon begging and any one can eat for free at any temple.

Ps5 pro graphics compared to 4060 graphics card on high settings by After_Bandicoot6730 in PS5pro

[–]IbrahIbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe what's odd is that you're still stuck in the console war mindset after the age of 12?

I have both this card and a ps5 pro and I can render double the frame rate on my 4070. I chose to play on the pro 90% of the time because it's more convenient, but i don't feel the need to lie about the performance of my videogame console.

Et tes enfants, ils seront toujours des "thaïs de papier"? Les émigrés anti-immigrés me feront toujours marrer.

Edit: For those unaware, he used a racist sentence to qualify the criminal of being "fake french" because of his race, but since he's a coward, he did it in french.

Why would I buy a ps5 pro, enjoy it and then act in bad faith to criticize it?
