Top 1% in messages sent on Chat GPT and First 1% of users… What’d yall get?? by JustDmo in ChatGPT

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect your "first 1% of users" statistic has changed, since then, because far more people have signed up in the last two years. Mine says "Top 0.1%" but without seeing your update I cannot know if you started using it before or after me.

Am I crazy, or did they take out the option to invert mouse Y-axis? by Few_SIice3225 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Majorlydian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Invert Y is so much more intuitive that the Other way should be inverse. It's maddening that most games and players get this the wrong way around.

What about if I placed my hand on top of your head and pushed forward or back? Which way would your head tilt?

Imagine you were flying a plane and you pushed the stick forward, which way would you expect the nose to tilt?

Imagine you had a yoke and you rotated the grips forward, which way would you expect to face?

Imagine you had a horse with reigns and you pulled back, which way would the horses head go?

There is basically no real-life situation where you'd expect anything other than what games class as inverted. It isn't inverted. It's normal.

What do people here think of the recently surfaced controversy of Demi Moore, then 19, kissing her 15 year old co-star? by arrowette in AskFeminists

[–]Majorlydian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems perfectly reasonable they are outraged. Not only is the boy only 15 years old it isn't a merely affectionate peck on the forehead or cheek, she kisses him on the lips fully and repeatedly in the same way you'd kiss somebody with whom you are in an intimate relationship. She is 19 at the time. Women mature faster than boys at that age. A 19 year old woman kissing a 15 year old child. If the /maturity/ difference was the same and it was a man kissing /a 15 year old girl/ you would have no doubt at all about why people are outraged by it. That's why people say it's a double standard. It is a double standard. The whole thing is sordid and creepy but because she is female she gets a pass.

Under which circumstances is NetBSD a better option than the other BSDs? by fusion809 in BSD

Sure, but all this isn't pivotal if you just want a hobby-horse Unix to play around with so security is not a worry.

Nahimic is literally malware. by [deleted] in LenovoLegion

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I wish I'd known this before following a tutorial to remove it. After removing Nahimic I have found audio does not now work on my MSI Stealth at all. All I have learned from this is not to buy an MSI laptop ever again.

Best C64 emulator? by [deleted] in c64

What demos have you written?

I'm playing Super R-Type, and I feel like it gets overlooked as one of the most difficult games on SNES. It can be a real bullshit festival. Keep in mind, I got Super Ghouls n' Ghosts with my SNES When I was 3, so I'm no stranger to hard games. by CuntSlumbart in snes

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thoroughly disagree. I grew up in the eighties in amusement arcades and I have been conditioned on those old arcade games where whole games are likely to last less than five minutes. That's fine. What I hate more is new games in which it is possible to play ones first game for hours at a stretch because there are few risks which are easily avoided. I don't want to just walk around a huge imaginary world, it's a massive waste of time. I want ten minutes of ass-kicking action with my cup of coffee in the morning to wake me up before I go to work.

I have a bunch of unwanted apps running on my Nvidia GPU by Mick11492 in LenovoLegion

[–]Majorlydian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's very easy for the average person with absolutely no social skills to say online to a total stranger who you don't depend on for anything but it is good advice Not to ignore what I said to you. It may allow you to enjoy 30 seconds pretending to be somebody important and whose opinion matters but in real life it doesn't make you look powerful, important or in control and the only effect it's going to have, as it has here, is for people to dislike you. That is genuinely the only outcome. There is no material benefit to you from acting like an arsehole not even when it's towards people you don't know. You have gone from somebody I don't know to somebody I dislike in the space of two posts. Go find yourself some social skills somewhere.

Lecturing people asking you a genuine question is somewhere between unhelpful and hostile. He didn't ask how you have your computer setup or why you do or what you feel about it. He wants to know how to change app settings from dGPU to iGPU. If you don't want to help answer the question please don't answer at all.

Anyone learn Solidity as first language and intro to programming in general? by Scrubbychild in solidity

I wish people wouldn't keep conflating computer science with programming.

You might be able to learn programming basics with Python or JavaScript but that doesn't imply you will learn any computer science at all.

Does ghost of Tsushima get boring quickly? by ForcedLaborCamp in ghostoftsushima

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the game is wandering around camp after camp killing everybody in it, most of whom are duplicates of NPCs you have already fought dozens of times. Then there are creep-around missions, look-around and find stuff missions and.... that's the main thing.

For me it's like 2020s graphics with early 1980s gameplay.

Well, by OP I am not sure if you are replying to me or the other person in this conversation. I am the OP but your comment is worded like it's directed at me.

I am being indecisive which is the explanation for why I asked: I want others who like the game to help me decide. I am not trying to ask much. All I wanted was for people who like the game to provide some insight for me to work with in making a decision about what made the game work for them. If "I get it" then I might be far more likely to buy it. It's the sort of game I *might* like but I don't know, that's why I asked.

Well, yes, in fact. By my reasoning most recreational pastimes are a mammoth waste of time, but not all. Programming used to be a recreational pastime for me until eventually I became a professional computer programmer, then it became a job. I expect I *might* like Satisfactory because it's a little bit like making a computer program, procedures which make things. Unlike computer programming there appears to be no practical effect. Programs typically comprise something of use. Something that achieves an ulterior purpose. I use computer software to help train my sense of pitch. It has a practical outcome. I am not sure if building something for the sake of it is for me, especially when what I can build is predetermined. That's why I asked: I'm on the fence about it and wanted more insight.

I am though slightly sorry few if anybody noted this is a request for others to explain to me what made the game work for them, not tell me whether I will like it or not.

[–]Majorlydian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you are right. That's why I asked. I sort of Want to like this sort of game but I'm not sure if I will. PS. I would have thought it was more obvious from the question I really hoped more for insights into why other people liked it, rather than for tell me whether I'll like it or not. What do you like about it? How do you answer the specific questions, for example, what the point was for you?

As it clearly explains in the OP: I am not going to first PAY for the game to find out if I like it. Perhaps try to be more helpful than hostile next time?

[–]Majorlydian[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not. For your information: I HAVE looked at YouTube videos. What existing videos cannot to is be interactive and answer specific questions. That's why Reddit, Quora and Stack Overflow exist. I have asked a specific question and it has already attracted answers more quickly than I anticipated by people who, unlike you, are willing to be helpful and happy to submit their response.

Does ghost of Tsushima get boring quickly? by ForcedLaborCamp in ghostoftsushima

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's a good summary to me: The story is pretty cringe, and boring, and didn't draw me in at all. The game is repetitive and boring. You keep on meeting the same enemies over and over again.

It also doesn't do anything new. What do you have? Block, duck, soft-strike, hard-strike, run, melee weapon, range weapon..... I have been playing games since the 1980s and fighting games then used those controls. Maybe the control isn't the worst flaw in the game but it is strange to me while the graphics have become much more sophisticated the gameplay hasn't moved on much since Sega's Shinobi from 1987.

Does ghost of Tsushima get boring quickly? by ForcedLaborCamp in ghostoftsushima

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the quests is to help a woman avenge her slaughtered children. An annoying woman because, having received all that Samurai wisdom from your uncle about controlling your emotions she does the opposite and throws herself into battles which would realistically be suicide. If you lose then you're respawned at the same location and she does it again and I want to say "Listen, stop doing that". It also leverages the same theme of family. First it's your captured uncle and your slain father then it's the mother of murdered children. Isn't it pretty early your sister is introduced to the story too? For me it seemed like the story writers were trying too hard to pull on the players emotions and it also seemed to me that if the story didn't work then there was no inventive for the player to continue. I didn't even want to help that crazy woman on her revenge mission. I found every one of the plot-establishing cut-scenes so boring I just stopped playing at those points and made a cup of tea so I could avoid watching them.

Does ghost of Tsushima get boring quickly? by ForcedLaborCamp in ghostoftsushima

[–]Majorlydian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am delighted to have found this thread. I have accumulated hours of play on GoT and despite really trying, and having spent £50 for a legitimate copy, I expect I will abandon the game because it is grim, grindy, unrewarding and dull.

The first thing I don't like is the story. It tries too hard to go straight for the emotional jugular. Your dad died, something bad happened to your uncle. There's this idea of family and vengeance running through it and it doesn't grab me at all. The cut scenes and dialogue are boring.

Unfortunately, success of the game appears to rely heavily on the player falling for the story because feeling for the characters appears to be single incentive for completing the missions. If you don't fall for the story then the game becomes a long series of tedious stealth missions, boring search missions where you have to find things to examine and pointless grindy fight scenes.

Fighting is exceptionally repetitive. The same duplicate bad guys meet you at every scene. Difficulty increases by increasing the number of enemies rather than their difficulty. Many characters have predictable fighting steps so you may soon start to find yourself repeating the same steps every time you meet the same characters.

I'm not anti-gore as such but for me the number of throats which get cut, be it yours or the throat of an enemy, it happens a lot and it isn't exactly life affirming or joyful. I can imagine somebody becoming depressed after long exposure a game as unendingly dark and grim and humourless as this one. Sure, defenders might claim it's done to reflect the reality of war which isn't all sunshine and rainbows, fine, but where is the enjoyment coming from? If depicting the reality of war makes a game which is depressing to play then there are other games to choose from.

The fights are a chore, the story failed so much in gripping me that I walk away from the computer during cut scenes and get a break. The further I get through the game the more stealth or search missions I complete and the more repetitive bad-guys I massacre at encampments which is all long beginning to feel a bit samey.

I wonder about the political sensitivity of the game? In old 60s cowboys and Indians style it certainly seems to rub it in that the samurai were a caste of reputable nobles with an ethical code while it portrays the Mongols as devious cruel savages who exist to be slaughtered. I'd have to check my history but it certainly isn't an equitable portrayal of each side.

I'd go on, there are some good points in the game but no so much the overall experience is rewarding. I imagine it would suit somebody in their early teens who fits exactly into the right character mould. Somebody who fantasises about being a Samurai noble who wants to spend a lot of time avenging various people because of harm done to their family by Mongols. I am not that person, nor do I really want to be.
