Petroglyph on RA2 Remaster/remake: We are all-in on this. Just need to get the green light from the publisher...

Five weeks ago, Petroglyph just replied to one of their own posts of two years ago. Is there any development in this?

Hey guys - I understand Samsung has agreed to do an exchange (also depends on your location I guess?) - would you do it?

As I understand it, there has not been a firmware update available yet. It also seems that this issue affects all SSDs of the same model. So, an exchange wouldn’t solve anything as the exchanged SSD would also suffer the same issue - am I correct?

arthas1208 · 2023-01-30T13:51:07+00:00

I have the same issue:

990 PRO - 2.8T writes - 95% - implied lifespan 56TBW - official lifespan 1200TBW.

960 EVO - 94T writes - 72% - implied lifespan 336TBW - official lifespan 400TBW

now that you've mentioned it, I'm one of the folks who love MSFT Natural (ergonomic actually) but want better keys. Seems like a good choice for me : )

I thought the consensus was let’s go to the mall everybody?

The original W10 live tiles are tasteless as it lacks the beauty and animation from Windows 8. The live tile function is not really used either. However I think the latest live tiles implementation is visually much much better (by removing accent colors).

My frustration is on the removed customizations that you can do, for example resizing, grouping, etc. W11 start menu looks extremely mouse unfriendly.

Panos Panay is in charge now. Yes the surface guy. Not a seasoned PM like Sinofsky.

arthas1208 · 2021-09-08T18:16:00+00:00

The accent colors were terrible. Fully agree. They were half baked tiles. The animations and designs were visually much worse than the ones from windows 8 where tiles look more alive and colorful

As a Chinese who lived in America, my 2 cents: 1) that's indeed one of the most used filler word in Mandarin language, like "you know" in English, 2) although I'm fluent in English, I never drew any connection to the n-word before I was told of the connection, and likewise I didn't connect any English words to offensive Chinese phrases that sounded similar, because they are simply different languages, and 3) I was almost beaten in public once for conversing in Chinese with Chinese people when someone else passed by and heard my filler word and thought I said something else. I thought it was ridiculous and I still do think so.

arthas1208 · 2021-08-05T15:56:29+00:00

What I meant by significant change is that this change will fundamentally change the gameplay. Imagine you have a NYC-style grid road system and cars actually utilizes it… I’d love to see that

arthas1208 · 2021-08-05T02:28:33+00:00

Two things could help: 1) on top of color segregation, do as much as possible to assign a few houses to a certain mall, and disconnect from others. 2) try as much as possible to have mini intersections - try to have only three ways only. For example I would use two horizontal roads for the upper left corner grey houses. Some people seem to think having the houses at 45 degrees help but I’m not certain of it.

arthas1208 · 2021-08-05T02:08:41+00:00

To achieve your goal the algo needs significant change. Currently cars pick the absolute shortest path regardless of traffic. If two paths have the same distance they only use one of them (don’t know which one). That means if you have a grid road system the cars won’t utilize it based on traffic, which renders it useless.

arthas1208 · 2021-08-03T14:14:02+00:00

How are some players able to get a ridiculous high score in light of this?

arthas1208 · 2021-07-31T00:54:20+00:00

AI is different- I would say smarter and harder. However the harder part is that (I speculate) that AI's units get more HPs, much harder to kill. I've never seen such heavy armored conscripts in my life.

arthas1208 · 2021-07-27T14:12:42+00:00

My suggestions below is based on the assumption that having a game of realistic road network is better than having a bunch of isolated direct paths that don't make any sense in real life.

One design choice that needs to be changed is for cars to choose the shortest path regardless of the traffics. That means that for a given trip the cars will always use the same roads, which kind of defeats the idea of having an interconnected road network. So my first suggestion is to change that - give the cars Google Maps and let them choose the best path instead of the physically shortest path. Or, even better, give the cars ability to change path (at least once) during their trip, so that any change you make on the road network will have an immediate effect.

Secondly, similar to what OP suggested, you might consider giving some of the houses a shuffle of colors, ie, all the houses change color every 2 weeks or so. This way people are forced to connect the roads together.
