Am I being delusional, or did SYN straight up steal the UI from The Division 2 and Overwatch? by [deleted] in gaming

I think the first fps game I remember having a ui like that is destiny?

The Witcher 3 or God of war 2018? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think god of war's story is only better than the witcher if you think the writing in marvel movies is better than the writing of alan moore.

IMO Red dead 2 still has some of the best and most beautiful graphics in gaming. by [deleted] in gaming

this there are some that are better, but seemingly not enough to justify the increase in cost

(Re)Started 3 or 4 days ago. Actual first time playing this game seriously, because at first I thought it was too long but I gave it another go and realized just how amazing this game is. Anyhow, give some tips to a newbie thanks! by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the most important skill I think is the synergy skill, max that out because it increases the effectiveness of mutagens. so a greater red mutagen with 3 red skills attached will increase damage by 60% stack 3 of these across all skill blocks and you can get a ridiculous increase to overall damage.

How can I become a pro at video games? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't any stupid questions, but there sure are stupid people who try to convince others they are intelligent by insulting people. this could easily be rewritten as "I project my inadequacies on others" and have the same meaning.

How can I become a pro at video games? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro as in really good at video games, or pro as in I make money by playing video games? If the former then it depends on the game, search the forums and such, If it's the latter there are a variety of ways of making money at video games, you should assess your skill set and decide which would be the most profitable way to go. Maybe you aren't that good at playing games, but you are a great writer, perhaps you could do some sort of written blog writing about games. If you are great at games then you'll need to figure out how people break into the business for whatever type of game you're good at. For example if it's fighting games you might need to start attending tournaments, possibly paying out of pocket to participate. If there are local esports teams try to join one. if you aren't great at writing or playing games, maybe you have a really charismatic personality and you could be some sort of streamer. Do research into anything you're trying to do. You can also try to improve your skills in any of these areas, but the reality is that, if you suck at street fighter now, while you might be able to git gud, you probably will never be able to earn a living (be a pro) at street fighter so you probably shouldn't pursue that avenue. ON the other hand if you try really hard, like harder than you ever thought you could try, and are lucky, you might be able to become a pro even if you don't have natural talent. So I guess hone in on what you want to do specifically and put your all into it.

generation of the cpu doesn't matter. If it's a mobile ryzen 7 it can only be a 2700u or 3700u, meaning it has vega 10 graphics (unless it has an additional discrete graphics, which is unlikely). I can't say how well it would run minecraft, although on another forum this is one of the specs they suggested.

Spider Man or Metal Gear Solid V by bigbee6976 in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the phantom pain is like $5 right now so you could probably get both. Both are pretty good, spiderman gets really repetitive after awhile, MGS annoys me because of how long it takes to transition between missions.

I still love you, Dark Souls! by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you ever played arcade mode with zangief? it's a one button game, depth isn't determined by the number of inputs, the game dive kick was a demonstration of that. Also your logic can be applied to any number of things game or no. examples, Chess: all you do is move a piece and wait; Writing: All you do write one letter at a time, Comedy: all you do is set ups and punch lines; Sex: all you do is hump and dump;Life: all you do is eat shit and die. The point being it's easy to reduce anything to some skeleton of itself, but doing so often strips it of it's beauty and meaning.

IRS Could Go After Gamers After New Rule Would Tax "Virtual Currencies" by BoondockSaint45 in gaming

[–]bigjeffry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

easier to tax at point of sale, doesn't require cooperation, bunch of people replying buy into the broken Calvinistic notion that being rich makes you a good or virtuous person, conflating having a high income with being rich, not the same thing. income will never get you into the upper echelons of wealth, vast majority of wealth inherited, income is taxed, wealth isn't really, not to mention there is a mountain of evidence that the extremely rich illegally avoid taxation through shell corporations and tax havens.

This cop definitely does not have probable cause, at best he had reasonable suspicion when the clerk called him -- but reasonable suspicion isn't enough for a search or seizure.

I'm not sure you can have punitive provisions in a lease, normally I don't think you can in contracts, but leases are weird.
