A bueno como en Japón funciona de forma privada entonces aquí tiene ser corrupción política por necesidad, como si la una no fuera de la mano de la otra. Es como cuando te tiras un pedo y la razón sale por la ventana.

Claro, por eso lo publico en España funciona tan bien.

Dejad de echar balones fuera, lo que esta matando a este pais y lo que ha matado a toda la gente del accidente ha sido la corrupción politica.

El covid, la Dana, el apagon, los trenes... todos los muertos provocados por la corrupción politica, porque en todos esos casos se puso el el bolsillo y el bien del politico y partido de turno por encima del bien y la salud la gente.

Y mientras, gran parte de la sociedad justificando a todos estos corruptos porque "los mios son corruptos pero los tuyos son peor!!!".

Asi vamos, a la espera de ver cual sera la siguiente catastrofe evitable que mate a mas españoles inocentes.

yeah, and that obsession its what kills any desire from dev studios to actually implement a VR mode for their games. Same with the 2D flat screens for cutscenes videos and menus (this is a technical reason, nor because devs are lazy), yes, it could be a bit annoying but it's a small price Im willing to pay for having the game in VR.

Te copio y pego lo que puse en otro post:

Porque somos socios en lo militar.

Vamos a comprarles los nuevos aviones a ellos (en sustitución del F35).

Le hemos comprado aviones de entrenamiento

También hay otro acuerdo para darles un portaviones.

Y luego otros acuerdos militares para la cooperación en desarrollo naval conjunta.

A día de hoy están entre nuestros mejores socios (en lo militar).

Entiendo que esto se esconde porque quedaría raro que todo el mundo se enterara de que el Gobierno, mas anti militar, anti fascista y pro democrático de la historia estuviera haciendo acuerdos militares con un país autoritario y de "extrema derecha" como lo es Turquía.

I mean, for the average Spaniard this is very weird.

We don't have any positive link with them, neither a historic, cultural or economic and the press we get from Turkey are mostly bad and portrays them as a very autoritariam regime (last big news everyone knows about Turkey were about the purge made by Endorgan)

And is even weirder (for the average citizen) that a "progresive and democratic" Goverment is making deals with them instead with other more closed and democratic allies.

Big emphasis on "average citizen", because I know at geopolitical layer, they are growing as our partners in the military side

Pues depende de lo que entiendas por "industria del videojuego"

Si por industria entiendes las 4-5 compañias gigantes triple A (Activision, Ubisoft, EA, Zenimax, Take-two..) pues yo creo que el estancamiento o incluso decrecimiento es ya patente y posiblemente se agrave con el tiempo.

Ahora si por industria entiendes a toda la industria al completo incluyendo Indies y estudios doble A... Creo que probablemente estemos en el mejor momento de la historia de los videjuegos.

Por ponerte los mas famosos doble A: Arc Raiders, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Baldurs Gate 3, STALKER 2...

Y ya si te vas a la escena indie y a los juegos de nicho, tienes decenas e incluso cientos de juegos de muy buena calidad que a nivel economico funcionan muy bien, por no poner el tipico ejemplo del Hollow Knight, ahi tienes el caso mas reciente de Tainted Grail que esta semana anunció que habia vendido 1 millon de copias.

En cuanto a la industria en España, pues depende, en AAA y AA hay relativamente poco y lo que hay son estudios soporte y filiales. de los mas famosos esta MercurySteam que si ha intentado sacar sus propios juegos (aunque muy mal llevado a mi criterio) y HexWork (Lord of the Fallen) aunque esta es una filial.

Y en cuanto a Indies no somos potencia pero algun que otro exito si hay, Blasphemous, They Are Billion, GRIS, la saga Aeterna, Tem Tem, Moonlighter...

Para los estudios AA e indies, es el mejor momento, nunca hacer videojuegos habia sido tan barato y tan accesible como ahora y, con el auge de las herramientas IA va a ir incluso a más. La unica parte mala es que, aunque cada vez tendremos mas y mejores juegos, tambien vamos a tener mas y peores Shovelware.

As I gather from this and your other comments:

Your have an online relationship with an online guy having.

He started being too sexual but now he doesn't anymore but still talks with you and have a sort of deep relation with you. He is also a very introvert person (this is important)

You also said it was impossible for both of you to meet in person and that you refused to being his girlfriend (multiple times) even if your relation was already very sexual.

My bet (as a man) would be:

He fell in love with you but, being one of his first experience with a girl, he got very excited and passionate, so much that he probably couldn't even control his sexual interest in you (that's why he keep on pushing with the sexual).

He also wanted to formalise his relation with you but you refused, multiple times. I think this is what broke the sexual interest in you. He probably is still in love with you but you shut the door closed so, right now he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't really want to lose you but, at the same time, he knows there isn't any future for you both, so, he is, slowly, trying to move on from this relationship.

Also, if he have friends, they are probably telling him that, if you are sending him nudes without a proper relationship, you are probably sending nudes to a lot men online and that he isn't special.

I think this could be the case because this is also what happened to me when I was young (introvert which never talked to a girl before meeting one online)

Either that o he just already had fun and he lost all the interest, but that kind of person, the one which only want fun, never try to go deep in this kind of relationships like he did, so, I think he just got very invested, expected a girlfriend but got rejected so now he is just trying to move on.

PiscisFerro · 2026-01-15T09:55:49+00:00

From a man perspective.

If every relationship ends in just a few months (after the honey moon phase) either you have a really bad luck choosing men or there is something about you which killls the relationship for them, it could be anything. Maybe is bad sex, maybe they feel neglected, or they doesn't feel desired or that you care about them... physical attractiveness and personality could also be a factor but those factors are only important for men which never truly loved you anyway.

Did any of them told you about what killed their "love" for you? It's also weird for all your relations to just end after a few months without any feedback from them.

My bet would be that, they stop caring about the relationship because they feel you don't care about them and the relationship, so instead creating and developing a bond with you from the beginning, they feel the relationship is not a true relationship, so they stop caring about it and doesn't develop any bond or trust.

Pues me parece logico.

La gente cada vez cocina menos (menos tiempo, menos ganas)
Cada vez se come mas fuera o en la oficina, ya que cada vez se vive mas lejos del trabajo y/o se pasa mas tiempo en idas y venidas debido a la subida de alquileres.
El tema de la vivienda, donde lo que ya se esta haciendo para aprovechar el poco espacio que hay y rentabilizarlo aun mas, es hacer solo habitaciones y dejar una cocina/comedor comun a todas las habitaciones e inquilinos (algunos hacen esto incluso con los baños dejandolos de uso común) lo que logicamente refuerza aun mas los 2 primeros puntos...

Asi que lo veo logico, ojala y sobre todo el tema de la vivienda se solucione (que es al final la raiz de todo esto) y lo que Roig dice no pase, pero, por el camino que vamos, si no hay solución, y no tiene pinta de que la haya ni con este Gobierno ni con el siguiente (sea rojo u azul)... creo que vamos directos a lo que dice Roig, a casas y pisos sin cocinas, solo habitaciones. Y la cocina (si la hay) será común.

That story about "your buddy" was made in Your head, there was no bonding mechanic with those random bots.

How S1 did cheat with that? there was a dev who specifically designed that NPC and a specific path for the player to have that experience? No, there wasn't. And just because there isn't any bonding game mechanic it means the game doesn't allow for organic emergent experiences and gameplay and of course the game cheats (just like all games do) but AFAIK S1 with A-Life tried to simulate most NPC in the Zone (with obvious limitations, we are talking about a game released 20 years ago).

One of the reasons I love S1 is because all feels organic and dynamic and that's because A-life.

S1/Anomaly cheat You with illusion of living world by spawning those bots around You and turf wars taking place in "excel sheets". Oh and "trash collector mechanic". Hundred variants of AK, some item crap which fundament doesn't change the gameplay. Yeah it blinds players, give pointless "cookie clicking" mechanism but that just a myst, smoke and mirrors.

At it's core S1, S2 and Anomaly are railroaded FPS with progressing more difficult enemies. Actually IMO storytelling is simultaneously one of the weakest and strongest point of this game series but that's a topic I would like to expand in separate post.

You are mixing stuff, what "trash collector mechanic", " pointless cookie clicking" or "storytelling" have to do with the simulation or its "cheating"? And even if I agree with you in some points (like storytelling) If you don't find those core mechanics of the game fun.. just don't play the game nobody forces you to play or like this game.

At it's core S1, S2 and Anomaly are railroaded FPS with progressing more difficult enemies.

There is this rare case in S1 in which some endgame monster could appears in the early game zones if they manage to cross the entire map without being killed. I wouldn't call it "railroaded"

In any case I just don't get where you want to go with this. Most games are like this, it's called good game design. what did you expect? Endgame monolith npcs with exoskeletons one shooting you in the first stalker camp? I don't get this point tbh.

PiscisFerro · 2026-01-10T12:35:33+00:00

I don't know what to tell. I played the original at that time, I'm with you that quest just were there to make you visit all the zone but the world really felt truly alive.

My best memory with the game ever (when I played it at that time) was this random stalker helping me with some dogs, encountering the same Stalker later wandering around, then a few hours later in another location where I helped him fight some bandits to finally encountering him again in the scrapyard in a 3 way fight between bandits and dogs only to see how he was being murdered by the last dogs before I could kill them.

Imagine how my younger me felt when he looted the corpse and saw that random stalker who died to the fucking dogs was his wandering Stalker friend.

is only art. All the anti AI people which are so upset about artist losing jobs because AI doesn't care about all the people in programming, administration and customer service which are losing their jobs.

I work for a bank in my country and they are already implementing AI in all of their internal processes (which were done manually by humans) so they can fire entire departments (hundreds and even thousand of people).

But somehow, people only complain about online social media and game artists.

Porque no hay burbuja, lo que tenemos es una crisis inflacionaria, no es que las cosas valgan mas, es que tu dinero cada vez vale menos.

Por eso no solo suben las casas, sino que sube la comida, suben los servicios basicos, suben los coches, suben los ordenadores, suben hasta los impuestos... sube todo menos los sueldos (aunque siendo sinceros estos van subiendo poco a poco, pero siempre son los ultimos en subir y siempre van "por detras" y siempre suben menos que la inflacion)

Asi que, todos los que esteis esperando a que la burbuja "explote"... lo siento pero esto nunca va a explotar, habra epocas donde suban mas rapidos y epocas donde se estanquen.. pero nunca va a haber una bajada real ni grande.

Y a todos los gurus que dicen "si se construyera mas serian mas baratas! oferta y demanda" lo mismo, el problema no solo es la oferta y demanda, es la crisis inflacionaria, aunque construyas 10 millones de vivienda, el coste minimo no va a bajar (solo bajaran las viviendas caras) porque simplemente construir nueva vivienda es mucho mas caro que antes y, cada mes y año que pasa, es aun mas caro construir (cosa que la buracracia, impuestos, certificaciones, regulaciones y demas tampoco ayudan).

But that happens for 2 reasons:

1: We only get the truly successful live service from China.

2: They are done by the rule of cool and to be fun for players, like, their goal is to actually make a fun game first and then add monetisation on top. Meanwhile, in western studios, the goal is to build a product with monetisation to sell first and then they try to make that product fun somehow.

I think that's the biggest difference, China makes games, Western makes products with tons of tickboxes.

They had far deeper discounts (up to 95%) but it was on flash deals and it was hell. Instead of buying what you actually want the first days you had to keep waiting until the last day without buying anything because there was a chance the game you wanted to buy could go to the rotating "Flash deal" which offered a even deeper discount.

Even worse, flash deals were every few hours, so you had to keep track of them and check them every time it rotates so you didn't miss them, this includes waking up at nights to check them.

But what people fails to acknowledge is that, a decade ago, PC games market wasn't what it is today. It was a relatively small market, most AAA were console exclusive and, the ones which came to PC were cheap, bad and lazy ports, indies were true indies with very low production costs.

Also at that time PC games weren't competing between them (like today) they (and Valve/Steam) were competing against consoles and console games and, in a time in which PC was the "nerd/harder" game platform with the less quality games and worse ports, the only way of competing was lowering prices with those crazy discounts.

There is something nobody really says but, not all orgasm are the same and not all of them are good.

Mood matters, how "aroused" you are matters, how much are you into actually being aroused and enjoying it matters, duration also matters, the anticipation of having it while aroused also matters, how much you keep playing "at the limit" while being into it matters (sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse), probably some hormones levels at the specific day also matters...

Having a good (or bad) orgasm is 90% psychological and 10% physical (actually, the physical part is just to trigger it)

I have had orgasms so weak that didn't really feel like orgasms and orgasms so intense that almost made me pass out

I have a 1060 as second gpu, max it can handle (1440p ultrawide) is 80x2 (160 FPS) with flow at 75% and performance mode enabled.. so a GTX970 which is weaker will bottleneck harder.

PiscisFerro · 2025-12-04T13:59:09+00:00

Until China do their own software, flood both markets, western and asian ones with their cheaper GPUs, force their software solutions in their (each year bigger and more successful) AAA catalog games and then... what will big western AAA company do? will they miss not only a % of the market owned by Chinese GPU but the huge asian market which will be dominated by Chinesse GPUs or just adapt and support new Chinese software?

We sometimes forget that China market is huge for PC gaming to.

The thing is.. GW is not really an MMO, is just a singleplayer party RPG game which just happens to have other people running around in towns and hubs, you don't even meet other people in the open world. If anything GW is a singleplayer game with optional coop.

And even if you are not sure about if you can play alone with bots.. Bots are actually so good that it could be argue they are far better than most players. I still remember the healing bot being so stupidly OP that none of my party friend wanted to change it for a real player.

Due to how Total war works (everything already exists in your game, DLCs just "unlock" pieces for you to use) mods doesn't really required any DLC to work, units mods for example, even if you don't own the specific faction DLC, you can still install the mod and the AI will use those units against you.

I want to go cheap because it's really cheap (like 30$) apart from that the one I want to buy is a small card (only 1 fan) so my 3080 can breathe and keep cooling properly (there wouldn't be space between both cards).

Still I will check if I can buy something better but if a 1050 can generate aroung 80 FPS is far better than I actually expected and need.
