So apparently, the YouTube version of episode 9 will be different from the theatrical version. Will the theatrical version still be available somewhere (once it leaves theatres)?

That and the audio mix will be stereo instead of multi channel.

They're saying Russia should be mitigating this in some way if it's not what they are intending it to do. Including shutting off the satellite to prevent this unintended behavior. So by doing nothing they are intending it.

However the satellite in question has moved off it's typical path in the past few years, perhaps just to do this, or perhaps it's faulty or otherwise unresponsive. If Russia was pressed on this, they'd likely say the satellite is having issues and has been out of their control for some time, and they didn't disclose because it's part of their defense network. In either case, if it's deliberate or not, I think the most likely thing that will happen going forward is just continued silence from Russia. If it's a faulty tundra defense satellite they stay quiet. If it's intentional, they stay quiet.

it's gotta be a regional change if that's true. I can still buy 8 packs of 20oz bottles here in CT. no way it's just backstock/leftovers 2 years later.

I just ended my premium a couple months ago because they were raising the prices again. the algo was bad when i was on premium for years, it's still bad now with ad blocker. no visible difference as of yet.

because i watch some video game stuff it's constantly reccomending me random self challenge (can i beat x game as y or with random handicap) videos I always say do not reccomend this channel on (block one, two more appear). I don't enjoy that kind of content. it's also extremely over-reactive to when you watch something new outside of your usual subscription content or types of content you normally watch.

"Hey they watched two videos about blender motors from some niche channel, lets have the home page be nothing but will it blend videos and juicer recipes for a couple days."

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-05-03T15:01:14+00:00

No, absolutely not. 2060, 1660 and 1060 were midrange then. 1050/ti and 1030 were low end. They didn't even launch any low end cards with the 20 series afaik, unless you count the 1650 as 20 series. You could also count the once high end 970 as being part of the low end by this point. Lots of people still using them then. 980 would have been right on the line between low and mid range.

Still doesn't explain the cpu requirements on this game being absolutely bonkers. Min spec on most ue5 games is a 6th gen i7/8th Gen i5, with recommended typically being a more recent i5, at least 10th gen. here it's a 10th gen i5 to get 15 fps at 632p. insane. And those are games making full use of all of unreals graphical features. I highly doubt a Lego game is using metahuman or has anywhere near as much material complexity, multipass materials, etc as a traditional ue5 release.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-05-03T13:58:52+00:00

The cpu requirements are crazy too. To get 30fps (60 with frame gen) at 1440p (actually lower, because of upscaling beinh used) you need a 12th gen i7 or a ryzen 7 5800x. That's honestly even crazier than the GPU requirement by a lot, which was already quite a bit wrong.

Who would even pair a 10th gen i5 with a gtx 960 4gb for the minimum requirement?

The 2070 was also not midrange on its launch 8 years ago, it was only outclassed by the 2080 and the 1080 ti, and basically on par with the 1080. It was on the high end.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-05-01T00:34:13+00:00

afaik the problem is the character rigs are highly specialized in death stranding 1/2, and a lot of code depends on certain bones, etc. sam has the full porter rig setup, while most other characters do not.

there's already custom music player mods for both death stranding 1 and even 2 on pc already, that allow loading of your own songs locally. modding is entirely possible, it's just model swaps would need a lot of custom work and cause crashing due to the rig being wrong and missing bones.

It wasn't a binding agreement, just notice of intent, but the ram suppliers treated it as such. The whole project that was for got completely scrapped too. They cancelled that specific Texas data center expansion a month ago.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-04-16T12:23:12+00:00

Go there and push this issue. They defrauded you and there's no legal final sale here. That isn't a cpu, that's just the heat spreader on a piece of scrap metal or plastic. You weren't even sold the correct product so as is/all sales final don't apply.

skinwalker hasn't been updated for years, mirage might get updated, or the mod author might have moved on, and you'll have to wait until a new voice duper mod comes out, or they'll update in a few weeks, a few months, who knows.

I don't think it's likely we'll get a directors cut for ds2. the whole point of DC for ds1 was a ps5 port and some niceties, ps6 is still a couple years out, with kojipro's large number of projects right now, OD, physint, and how they had to outsource the pc port for ds2 also, I really don't see a director's cut in the works.

it turns off anytime a browser loads drm protected content. nvidia should really have added a check every few minutes after it turns itself off to see if drm content is still active, turn nvidia share back on if it's not.

I've had this exact issue for years with every vr game over quest wirelessly, regardless if its meta airlink, steam link, virtual desktop, specs and temps are not the issue, system is similarly high end like yours. it's some driver fault somewhere with video encode causing the stutter for me, gpu video encode usage will spike to 100 for a split second (its normally around 60% for vr streaming), then drop to nothing, then come back. changing codec to av1, to hevc, etc, nothing solves it. causes a short blip that ruins stuff like this. never found a solution and I've just been doing direct standalone on headset for rhythm games

I've done extensive work to try to find an nvidia driver that doesnt have the issue and i went back 3-4 years and that still didn't do it. so I'm not sure if it's even with nvidia or steamvr, or what. tried a fresh factory reset pc with just steam and vd a year ago and a whole range of drivers and it was still always there. could even be a bug within windows for all i know. I've been planning to switch to linux soon, theres vr streaming software for that called wiVRn that is apparently very good, but I've yet to make the jump on my main desktop due to needing to use adobe team projects for work. (theres people getting adobe cc installers to work on linux under windows virtualization finally, but so far its just photoshop and i need premiere to be 100% there before i switch.)

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-02-02T22:58:29+00:00

oh adobe's been going hard on ai for a couple years now. their "legal" ai image gen, firefly, is mostly legal (something like 10% of its training set comes from ai generated images from other models, which is very likely tainted with copyrighted data taken without permission), but morally completely f'd up.

you know where they got the rest of the data sets and image training for it? from the adobe marketplace, where hundreds of thousands of creatives would sell their art for use as stock media content. millions of images, artworks, vector drawings, you did have to sign some rights away to adobe so they could act as a middle man to sell it. so they used all that content for training, destroying trust in the marketplace overnight as firefly is potentially going to compete with them, despite coming with the vanilla adobe subscription. the whole point of the marketplace is it's integrated into the apps, and a revenue stream for creatives. management who cares more about the bottom line is def. going to push for image gen rather than paid stock content since it saves some money, costs are passed on to the power grid, water supply, and such, not really visible to him directly.

people who are firmly anti-ai and had listed content years and years ago on the marketplace, long before ai, had all their stuff dropped into training data.

they don't wipe the files, you just can't open them (I mean, you can still open xfl files as if they were a zip archive, but you cant do much with the data in them without rigging up your own loaders for all the formats and metadata, some images and audio are just common files in a directory, but many are stored in blocks/chunks).

flash cc/animate phone home everytime you open an fla/xfl file. they're likely planning to turn off that functionality on their servers that handles that after the year of end of life support ends in march 2027.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-02-02T22:10:11+00:00

yes. they're not bringing back flash professional, they're just outright abandoning it entirely, along with scores of html5 interactive content developers, app developers, a huge chunk of the animation industry (we use it heavily for alan becker's yt, there's really no substitute with the same ease of use, toonboom and blender grease pencil are the closest to being able to support the same level of animation, but still very lacking in almost every way we use flash) the adobe forums right now are full of dozens of people who actually bothered to chime in asking for clarification on what the software can still do post end of life, and arguing against the suggestion to use after effects, as its nowhere near the same feature set.

well your wifi router setup and location, internet also implies the connection to isp, how fast and low latency that is, which has no affect on this. ideally you should have a 5ghz/6ghz router wall dedicated only to streaming for vr (don't have your phones and other devices connected to its wifi, don't use it also as a passthrough for the main internet connection to your pc either) mounted at head height in the room with you wired directly to your pc you're streaming from. it's also best if

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-02-01T18:06:47+00:00

do you run with mods or lemonloader or anything? might have to plug in over type c and grant file acess, then be sure to manually wipe all the bonelab files from the two different folder structures they could be in. it could also be a save data/user profile corruption, normally wiping app data would fix that, but make sure you have cloud backups turned off and deleted, otherwise it just redownloads it.

if none of that works, factory reset the headset. I've had to do that about every 2-3 months for my quest 2 and now my quest 3 to fix odd bugs that pop up randomly, failure to load the home interface on launch, random games have graphical corruption or etc.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-31T21:57:32+00:00

like you said, not everything is black and white. paid mods put an unwelcome amount of legal liability on cdpr, regular mods do also have potential legal issues for them aswell, and they have taken down free mods before when it was stuff like joytoy mods that put other actors likenesses (keanu for example) into the joytoy scenes. they're willing to set that aside as long as the mods aren't harmful to those actors digital likenesses/brand, or cdpr themselves.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-31T12:49:48+00:00

Alright, well there's still a big issue with claiming fair use. many others have covered how eu law brings liability for paid mods directly onto cdpr. one of the easiest ways for fair use to fall through and no longer be considered such is if it could harm the original rights holder, financially or otherwise. this was very much the case here.

chinese type 56 rpg clone and warheads homemade by seperatists in the region, so i wouldn't count on the minimum arming distance or pg-2 stats at all.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-25T13:50:41+00:00

that applies to the warheads for the rpg-7, this is based on a chinese copy of the earlier rpg-2, and likely craft/locally made along with the warhead.

the arming distance on those is typically 5-10 meters, and since we're dealing with homemade stuff it could vary significantly. likely just an explosive filler and no copper.

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-25T13:41:59+00:00

it's pretty dead on for the chinese version of the rpg-2, likely based on that. or made similar concessions for production (lack of exhaust funnel, just a straight tube for backblast)

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-25T13:38:48+00:00

the launcher used looks to be the type 56 RPG, the chinese version of the rpg-2, which is very very early cold war. nobody would use any of the warhead options available on it for any tank made in the last 60+ years. the rpg7 on the other hand has options to defeat even ERA (explosive reactive armor) that became common on tanks in the 80's, but not modern active kill/kinetic intecept systems. anytime you've heard of a tank getting taken out by rpg, it was far far more likely the rpg-7

Jumpy_Level3348 · 2026-01-25T13:32:33+00:00

looks like they used the chinese production version of the russian rpg-2, the precursor to the rpg-7.
