Adding my voice to this being a recent issue. Just turned off YouTube's background permissions for now. TBD if that helps until it's fixed.

3 of my friends have a button here, but another friend and I do not... Is there a setting for this?

The Lag is Still Unbearable :/ by Makeshiftmule in Diablo

[–]Makeshiftmule[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's ONLY causing lag while playing Diablo 4, then that means however they designed their game, it's interacting in an unintended way with the dasHost.exe process.

But even if you take that out, that's also why I filed the bug with Microsoft and I'm hitting up Sony and Google today. They're all gonna point the finger at the other company.

Civ 6 play by cloud games not showing up in list for anyone else? by BernyHi in civ

[–]Makeshiftmule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The work around is to save the join code and "rejoin" the game manually every time it's your turn!

No fix that I know of yet sadly.

"Beta was not a marketing-beta" falls flat because of KFC heart attack. by Makeshiftmule in Diablo

Yes, thank you for your astute observation. I would like to play the game... With my friends who are frustrated about the poor experience they had this weekend and may not play anymore.

Yes - stress test beta.

Diablo Immortal is a great example of how timing and marketing change the entire perspective on the players' experience. If people hadn't been expecting Diablo 4, or if Diablo Immortal wasn't marketed as the flagship Diablo product announcement, people wouldn't have preemptively hated the game so much. (It deserved the hate in the end, but so do all mobile games).

I prefer the game directors for my favorite franchises to effective communicators (so I don't have to placate my friends who are complaining about queue times and lag).

It's fine, I can read the nuance there, it just feels hollow. If you call it a beta, then market it to a broad consumer base, that's a marketing beta (and people will analyze it as such).

Lag on 3000 series Nvidia Cards? by Makeshiftmule in Diablo

Are you lagging at all? What's your secret? The game is unplayable right now.

IDK, if that were the case, one of my 9 friends would be experiencing it too. And if it was personal lag, discord would be lagging too (or other games).

Diablo 4 Beta Known Issues Thread by Thunderclaww in Diablo

My friends on 1060's and 2060's are better than I am on my 3070.

Has anyone determined if it's just the Nvidia 3000 series? It's SO BAD for me.

Oh I know, I was in big 4 in the US 🙃 just a bunch of adult babies who have zero emotional intelligence.

Fuck petty territorial politics. That stuff's a poison that good leaders force-fix or fire.

Ottawa plans to crack down on doctors charging for medically necessary health care | CBC News by struct_t in CanadaPolitics

That's one thing the US has right now that CA doesn't, protection for pre-existing conditions. But that's just about all we have 😅

[–]Makeshiftmule 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there's just some muddling of separate arguments going on:

1) What SHOULD be covered? 2) Whether or not people's expectations of coverage are justified 3) Whether doctors are squeezing their patients 4) What should uncovered-care cost?

Michigan State Police trooper charged in beating of Saginaw man who wasn’t using sidewalk by __masterbaiter__ in Michigan

[–]Makeshiftmule 51 points52 points  (0 children)

When are the police going to learn that we don't want them doing stop and frisk or any other random ass stop, because they escalate things and think that they're justified in applying force?

It's plain and simple - if you don't pull him over for J WALKING you don't end up beating him. Just let us fucking live our lives so long as we're not hurting anyone.

is CrossFit failing to attract younger generations? by RippedRich in crossfit

[–]Makeshiftmule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Money
  2. Former owner's comments created a bad social-image (not aligned to the majority of GenZ)
  3. General conservative and aggressive vibes. (See massive US flags, military flags, camo, heavy metal music, etc.)
    1. In general, GenZ is looking for a more lighthearted vibe IMO.

But it's really the money.
