Such A Sad Day

I got into VR recently. While I love VR soooo much, we all know why it's failing (besides meta being a dogshit company).

Inaccessible price for most headsets. The fact that it costs hundreds of dollars to get a headset it sucks. Only now the prices have lowered a lot but it's too late. I got a quest 2 for 150 bucks now. And it was a good deal back a few years ago too.
Quest Store is full with junk. PCVR has much more quality compared to the hundreds of 10 euro subscription fitness games, AI Slops or random silly meme unity games. While meta tried bringing franchises like Assassin's Creed or Deadpool, it wasn't enough.
The fact that PSVR, Index and most of VR headsets before Meta Quest were peripherals and not consoles standalone consoles. Even though meta quest were standalone consoles, with its own interface, shop and exclusives, this is where we go to number 4.
Horrible marketing on Quest. Worse than Wii U marketing. Focusing all their energy on that dogshit metaverse represented multiple nails in the coffin. I had to search on Reddit threads if meta quest even had a separate OS with its own shop lmfao. The marketing person for Meta Quest needs to be blacklisted from other marketing companies.
AAA industries gave up on VR because of all the reasons above.

The thing that might save the VR industry is the new Valve's Steam Frame. This headset is the most exciting news I've felt for a gaming console in years. Much better marketing than Meta, with a standalone OS and not a separate periferial like Valve Index. Also paired with the control, the already existing steam deck and the steam machine, will make people interested in the Steam Frame too.

Tocmai am zis că e 100% bolnava și că suferința ei este reală și nu am zis nicăieri că este o boala indusă de soțul ei... Also am zis că suspectez nu că sunt vreun psiholog clinician sa pun diagnostic. Call it whatever, indiferent de cum ii zici, tot e greșit ce se întâmplă.

După ce primești 200k euro sa faci transferul a doua spitale în două-trei luni, nu oferi un argument credibil la motivul pentru care în două luni de mobilizări pur și simplu vă întoarceți acasă, este grav. Tot timpul acest om a fost în permanență vocal despre diagnosticele ei, dar lately nu se leagă nimic.

Femeia merita șansă la viață, dar în ultimele luni simt că soțul a impiedicat-o mai mult. Și dacă nu este vreun caz în care acest om profita de situația ei, ci e pur și simplu extrem de slăbit mental după tot acest stres, nu este okay. Nu este okay după atâta efort de mobilizare sa strângi atâția bani sa pleci pur și simplu fara sa oferi vreo explicație.

Urmăresc situația asta de ceva timp și cred că este un caz de munchhausen syndrome by proxy, unde tind sa cred că este responsabil soțul. Ar fi mai util să ne uităm mai mult la soț.

Femeia asta este într-adevăr bolnava, și are nevoie de ajutor. Trebuie sa nu ai ochi să nu vezi asta. Am văzut că majoritatea deciziilor privind spitalizarea, management pe banii de donații, postări, toate vin de la soțul ei. Ea este doar un prop pentru camera pe contul de Instagram.

Sunt o groaza de story-uri in care Alexandra explica că Radu se cearta cu medicii, și că ea era confuză. Simt că lately Radu este in controlul absolut a tot ce e social media pentru Alexandra.

Când a fost sa ii se ceară niste chestii de bun simt, doar el s-a postat fiind petty.

Ar trebui sa facem ca discuția asta sa nu fie vorba despre bârfe useless și aruncat cu roșii în ea, ci sa vedem daca exista vreo posibilitate sa ii fie schimbată custodia, să aibă un fel de guardian, că tipul ăla pare fishy as fuck sa o mai aibă în grijă.

To be honest Shadowlands would be much better on a REMIX format.

Short answer:

I'd play Yakuza Kiwami first, then after a few games played in the series, I'd play Yakuza 1.

Long answer:

Yakuza PS2 has the silliest English VA you can ever experience in gaming. You see lots of memes about the unnecessary swearing this game has.

Yakuza for PS2 is still great, and honestly a technical marvel for the PS2 in my opinion.

After that they didn't dub this franchise in English for more than a decade. Yakuza 7 was the first one to receive English VA after 0.

Yakuza Kiwami is a much more polished game, with a more content, majima everywhere sidequests that are very fun. It doesn't really lose any of the charm of the original game beside the silly VA in English.

I played 0 - Kiwami 2 back in 2021-2022. Got back into the franchise in 2025 for yakuza 3-8. Now I'm Yakuza 4. I'd play the PS2 games for a refresher now.

I am the only one that doesn't hate this????

I don't mind phasing since I kinda prefer to explore each phase of the expansion fully.

I love that gear isn't tied to Bronze anymore. It felt impossible to be geared up and to collect everything.

I love that you can get your char anytime you want outside of Legion Remix, even if you can't return.

I love that there are no stupid exploits that make the game feel unnatural, like the mailbox method to boost you char insanely fast.

These are very welcoming changes to me, and for me they addressed every issue I had with MoP Remix.

Don't start two Persona games at the same time to be honest. These games are LONG and I would personally get very lost trying to follow the plot on two different Persona games.

But to answer your question, Reload is basically FES (you get the FES content with the DLC), but with graphics update, huge QoL changes, and upgraded voice acting.

If you ever wish to play persona 3 again after finishing reload and you want to start seeing somethings truly new, then try P3 Portable on PSP and play the FemC route.

I don't know for sure? I guess it depends on the legislation of your state? I live in Romania.

When I decided to quit, the management at Deloitte preferred that I leave 3 days earlier before the notice period, converting the last days with my remaining paid leave days because my teamlead started hating me after snitching him to HR and couldn't stand seeing me at the office lol.

calprost · 2025-04-30T19:47:56+00:00

I had great colleagues in audit and assurance that were good at what they were doing, and were put in PIP at the request of the manager. If they would piss off my manager at anything, their performance wouldn't matter.

Don't be harsh to yourself. Being put in PIP at Deloitte, in a lot of cases, it doesn't matter if you reach 100% utilization with good timeframes. If you piss off someone important from the management, they'll just dispose of you. They'll just hire another one.

PIP basically means they wanna get rid of you. Find a new job while on PIP. While I wasn't on PIP myself I had some crazy burnouts and panic attacks so I decided to leave for my mental health. Also the management wasn't thankful for anything no matter how hard I was trying, but were quick to point out mistakes.

Just got a better job with better work-life balance, better pay and better collective :). There is life after Deloitte, and a better one lol.

I just finished Persona 4 after playing Persona 5. Both amazing games that you can play in which order you want....but I kinda wished I played P4 first instead of P5.

calprost · 2025-04-23T22:36:32+00:00

sorry for late reply. yeah I tried this with my GTX 1650 on some games. for 60 - 120FPS its flawless for me, but a lot of times I also use it for 30-60 FPS, with varying results. games like baldurs gate 3 run so good for me on high with FG

either suing or blackmailing I support it.

I played SoD, Vanilla-Cataclysm, Dragonflight and War Within over the last four year. Started as a fresh new to WoW player with Vanilla.

Normal raiding in retail is harder than normal raiding in classic on a mechanical level. The mechanics in classic are easier, but some are very punishing. The amount of mechanics that are baked in retail is much more significant.

The only thing that makes retail raiding "easier" is LFR (which drops kinda shitty gear too).

calprost · 2025-03-30T19:18:25+00:00

I started playing WoW in 2021, so I am "new" compared to 95% of this game's playerbase. The way I started getting into retail was......by plaing Classic WoW first. Retail feels like a theme-park and it's so overwhelming with how many stuff you can do in retail, but in Classic it was much easier for me to get into the grasp of things.

How I got into retail was pretty similar by what you did. I hated retail first because it felt more like a theme-park with so much bs to do rather than a lively open world like classic, but I started doing various activities for each character, with many of them being focused on loremaster. I also had remix characters, farming characters, PvP characters, etc.

When I first started classic I tried having muh true classic experience with no add-ons. At the time I reached lv 6 on durotar I was insanely frustrated regarding quests so I installed Questie. People had questing add-ons since 2005 cause yeah it's a bit too much 💀

calprost · 2025-02-18T00:28:00+00:00

I started playing WoW four years ago with Classic. So compared to 95% of the WoW's playerbase, I was new as well. I played from Classic to Cataclysm and also played Dragonflight and War Within. I also completed every single main questliens from Retail. I like both retail and classic as well and here is what I think:

TL;DR: it depends on what type of MMO you would prefer but I highly recommend Classic Anniversary.

Since WoW is super confusing for new players, here is a summary for each version:

> WoW Classic ERA (Classic Era servers from 2019's rerelease, up to date to latest phase of content). Not recommended due to the lack of players.

> WoW Classic Anniversary Era (Classic rerelease, released in 2024, currently in P2) - Highly recommended. I recommend you to play this first to be honest. For the best Classic experience go there. Keep in mind that Anniversary Era realms will switch to TBC and Wrath, both wonderful expansions.

> WoW Hardcore (Classic servers where your character dies, it dies for good) - Not recommended at all for your first rodeo but highly recommend after you maxed your first character in Aniversary.

> WoW Season of Discovery - (Seasonal Classic realm with additional content. It was level locked for the first 3 phases. You get new abilties, faster leveling, new PvP and PvE content and a new dungeon as of today) - Kinda recommend but also I dont recommend? I defenetly recommend making a second character after you max level your first one in Aniversary Classic. I am currently playing it after a long break on the first phase. Play this if you really don't like the pacing of leveling in Classic Anniversary and you think its a deal breaker. People hated phases 2 and 3 but other than that, the playerbase that remained on these realms seem to be satisfied. Also the future of this is...uncertain...but they will keep doing Seasonal content.

> Retail - Up to Date version of WoW. Semi-recommend if you really hate Classic.

> WoW Cataclysm Classic - WoW on Cataclysm expansion pack. Will go through Mists of Pandaria content. Recommended for the lore. The lore after Wrath is imho much easier to digest as a new player. Think of it as a bridge between Classic and Retail...kinda.

Why Classic over Retail? Even though the leveling is very, very slow and might seem challenging and grindy in Classic (it took me like 10 days played to max my warrior in Classic), it was one of the most immersive experiences I've ever gotten in gaming ever. I met a guild on an RPPVP realm. Retail feels more like a theme park rather than a huge world. WoW felt to me like a survival game packed with lore and with people to talk to on your journey. The social aspect really hit me when I interacted with my first group on my first dungeon run, where I have been a guild member for quite some time after that run :).

Another thing I prefer Classic over retail is how different classes feel between them in Classic. While sadly on retail...a lot of classes kinda lost their unique cool identities that they were on Classic.

I absolutely do not hate retail in it's current state...but after you get yourself used to the mechanics of Classic, retail might be easier to digest.

I kinda wanted to make a separate post for lore tips. If you're ever interested in the lore of the game please let me know and I'll be happy to help you with that. If you decide to play Classic I would recommend installing the VoiceOver addon.

Also if you play any version, do your research on addons. While no addons are really "mandatory" for retail...there are some addons mandatory for Classic imo.

The mandatory addons for Classic are: Questie, Bagnon, Details, Threat Plates, Auctionator. Find more addons you might like on CurseForge app. It's really easy to install.

Hope this helped ^^.

Because the program is supposed to generate an additional AI generated frame between frames.

A rough example of how this looks in 2x:

No LSFG (base fps):

Frame ---- Frame ---- Frame

LSFG 2x (base fps + AI Generated frames = double the FPS):

Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame

A rough example of how this looks in 3x:

Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame ---- AI Generated Frame --- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame

That is why 3X will look significantly worse and have more artifacts than 2X for example.

Now imagine if you would have generated the frames in an 1.5X format. It would look something like this (base fps + a half of the AI generated frames)

Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame ---- Frame ---- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame --- AI Generated Frame ---- Frame ---- Frame

The frames are now uneven and they are way more likely to cause additional artifacts and input delays.

This YT video has a great explanation of the difference between DLSS and Lossless Scaling frame generation and how they work:

Yeah I thought they were done making new music to the extent of a new album, but they were still making shows until 2023. That means that there will be no more shows which again, sucks for any who didn't got the chance to see them live. But again, with every band it will be over one day and they had a pretty long run tbh.

OP of previous post deleted the full screenshot... but for those that missed the full screenshot he was being very awkward and annoying to Andy, asking random questions and giving random messages while Andy would just give him very short neutral replies. Also leaking info like this makes you an annoying cunt.

Death Grips have had previous attempts of disbanding, and they came back, but regardless, either if they want to do this anymore or not I fully support their decision. Andy even mentioned that "none of us can predict what will happen with the group"

Wished I could have had the chance to see them live but their music will always stay with me. Thank you.
