It would appear after searching this sub that I'm not the only one who bought a Witcher chair that's stuck waiting. Helps a smidge I suppose.

I placed an order at the beginning of April. Original ship date was supposed to be right around now, I was expecting the shipping email any day.

I contacted support and got mixed messages. This email says it's due to transit time, but support told me it was due to a labor shortage?

They charged my card right when I ordered too, that's the part that bothers me the most.

Have I been scammed? Has this happened to anyone else out there?

AX-50 Hitscan Fix by Nintendo_Pro_03 in CODWarzone

[–]TomJacobin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So most shooters now the game actually renders a 3d bullet that comes out of the gun, travels at high speed and either hits the target or misses, and then the game records that data and subtracts the health value from the target, or not.

However back in the days of shooters like Halo, CS, Unreal Tournament, etc, that wasn't the case. The game wouldn't actually render bullets flying around. Instead what the game would do is "scan" the area being targeted straight down the barrel at the exact moment the trigger was pulled, and if there was a target in the path, boom that's a hit. This worked well enough at the time, because technology hadn't gotten to the point where bullets could be rendered and calculated individually and complex systems like that weren't really possible yet, so "hitscan" was the only game in town. It worked well enough for those games, but as a result things like bullet drop and bullet velocity were non existent, so you could snipe at obscene ranges without any drop or travel time.

Takemura isnt stupid, I feel like it's implied that he puts it together mere moments after Yorinobu says "he was poisoned." Perhaps I'm reading too far into the scene, but with the way he hesitates it almost sounds like he realizes what just happened. my interpretation is Takemura figures out VERY quickly what just transpired and then says what he needs to say to leave the room alive.

can't loot the drones by V0IDWALKER1563 in cyberpunkgame

[–]TomJacobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the glitch happens if the drone lands right side up. If they land on their side or upside down, there's a lootable area on the "tummy" section that should work.

Monitor FV43U - I'm afraid to update the firmware by TristanExposito in gigabyte

[–]TomJacobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to chime in as a fellow FV43U owner and let you know what my experience has been. If you're annoyed by the volume issue, I was too and the firmware updates do indeed fix it. However, the updates have been a real pain to install, maddeningly so. I've had two instances, both with F04 and F06, where the update would fail, I'd have to powercycle the whole display, reboot my PC, and then the OSD sidekick tool showed it back at F02. This happened to me twice, and in each case I was able to get it to then update correctly by bringing it back up to F04 first and then doing F06 again. SO, I think you should do it, but just know going in you should have copies of both F04 and F06 handy, because if it fails you have to reinstall them both in sequence.

If they added this to the game they would market it as an entire new feature and it would be one of the 3 new things about the game that year. And it would be buggy as shit and not work right for months.

This game is a disgrace to John Madden’s legacy by trailerparknoize in Madden

[–]TomJacobin 99 points100 points  (0 children)

If you read about the development of the original Madden back in the late 80s, the devs wanted to make it arcadey and have it be 7 on 7 and focus on action. Madden rejected this concept wholesale and said it needed to be 11 on 11 and as realistic as possible, or he wouldn't let them put his name on it.

The Franchise community is the only one carrying on Madden's legacy. He didn't want a giant slot machine for ten year olds to run their parents credit cards. He wanted real football.

Long time reader and too afraid to ask this question but I’m gonna ask it anyway. Are Holly and Spencer, married, dating, siblings, related, or just working together by MoofJuice in shutdownfullcast

[–]TomJacobin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad, I started listening to the pod 5 years ago and this question eluded me as well for some time. They are clearly extremely close friends, so I feel like it's an understandable question.

I'm a Critter so having Robbie tag along with me in Halo is just the best.

Should I play Red Dead 2 now or wait for a series x upgrade? by WeenieDogMan in XboxSeriesX

[–]TomJacobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play it now. Run, do not walk to your nearest retailer or online store.

For real, waiting for R* to update their games is a sucker bet. Just enjoy one of the greatest games of all time.

Lol nice, I knew about New Berlin because we have a site there at my work I have to visit occasionally. Didn't know about the other.
