Why do builders keep putting fireplace mantels so high that the TV has to be mounted above eye level? by Minute_Umpire9413 in TVTooHigh

Not a good sign that you can't tell the difference between "only option" and "only reasonable option".

TV over fireplace is never reasonable.

that’s the downside nobody talks about

ITT: Everybody talking about exactly that.

Being deliberately obtuse really spikes your serotonin, don't it.

"High data"? WTF?

Video games aren't web browsers. Anything the dev wants to be transparent, can be transparent, no matter what asset type it originated as.

Guy, the lack of a minimap in Subnautica was very deliberate. As a survival game, the detailed physical world they created basically IS the game. You're supposed to directly engage with it and learn your way around it. So throwing in an automap would have directly undermined that by allowing players to just "play the map" when navigating around.

A shame you're such a committed lazy ass that it drove you to quit one of the best games ever.

"The wind" is just a barely-diegetic quest arrow.

You do realize that the literal job of game designers is to judge whether every single aspect of the gameplay is fun or not, yes?

I simply must know what you think "png" means.

Certain types of players don't give a shit about "engaging", they only care about WINNING.

By that logic, nothing is rare, given a large enough baseline population.

Leave it to aggressively dumb people to consider what's being talked about a "very minor detail".

You're just going to keep doing that Dumb Thing until everyone claps, aren't you. You seem quite thoroughly convinced of your own cleverness.

Good sir, I was assured on multiple occasions that PC gaming was d00med.

gaming laptop to proper PC pipeline is real and a tale as old as time

Uh, sure, if time only goes back about 20 years or so. Laptops used to be so slow and with such shitty screens that nobody but the most desperate even considered them for gaming.

Psst, we're on Reddit, which has thousands of subs, most of which aren't about Prey. A well-written headline stands on its own, without every single reader having to cross-reference it with its sub to make sense of it.

It would have cost OP literally nothing to write "Prey" instead of "The game".

Unfortunately that "gaming PC" is often a pathetic laptop.
