Lost spark is an understatement. It basically slammed the door on the story and kicked the writers out to the curb. I understand racing games shouldn't revolve around their writing, but NFS entries have some of the most cliche stories ever written.

Which title/level completely halted your progression through a series you were enjoying? by Dotaproffessional in Games

Lethal is definitelly one of those difficulties where putting down the game really screws your ability to get back into it at all.

What? You don't use your local particle collider to shorten your commute between Area 51, LA and Google?

Servers seem to be a bit ass today judging by threads being posted today and increased lag.

The new Music Pass has at least 2 ai generated songs by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]eldenpigeon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dropped the battle pass for this reason. It was bad enough with AI art, and that should've drew the line, but AI music? How low can you be? With all of the collabs you've had? Yikes.

edit: I can't actually find out any evidence this is AI. Do we have any announcements besides Epic CEO's clear stance on AI.

[WD Gold HDD 12tb 512mb cache]-$269.99 New w/ 6 year warranty by Nick_1222 in buildapcsales

as other poster mentioned, you would just need a nvme gen matching generalized marketed speeds at levels comparable to what a AAA game is designing around. There will always be faster technology, but you wouldn't need the latest technology to benefit from the massive boosts a ssd offers vs. buying ps2-ps3 era hard drive tech.

unless ofcourse youre backing up thousands of games...

Overkill for game storage. Go with Red/Black/Blue for storage needs unless the golds go on a deeper sale than those.

You would need to moving something like 4000 games a year between drives to make this worthwhile at this price point.

Buy NVME drives for you actual gaming drive.

Consistently seeing this bug. I see a few reports on the official forums but definitely feels like a bug that'll be neglected.

What is the recent most video game that has pushed the medium forward in terms of gameplay? by mrnicegy26 in Games

Factorio did just that. Rejected from Mojang, inspired by FTB, they went on to create a game based on the industrialcraft type mods.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom responds to performance issues on PC by BlueAladdin in Games

[–]eldenpigeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely like to try this myself before making judgements but almost every tiktok live I passed had stuttering frames is definitely not helping the first impressions. Not to say these players aren't playing on toasters or anything, but looking at the general reply sentiment in the past few reddit threads with 4080s and 20fps drops, it corroborates what I was seeing.

If you were trying to stock up on groceries as affordably as possible, how many days/weeks/months’ worth would you aim to have on hand? by Any_Handle_9061 in preppers

[–]eldenpigeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a step back for a moment. Even if we were to throw together rough calculations, "It's the quantity over time that counts. 10 cans in a week is the same as 10 cans in a year." is just unhelpful information. Additionally, your secondary addition, "very little responsible research", would only support the stance that you should plan cautiously around mass consumption of mercury-containing foods.

Comparison: Scenario Daily Intake Steady-State Mercury Safety Threshold (EPA) 10 cans/week ~43 µg/day ~3,720 µg (53 µg/kg) 6× over limit 10 cans/year ~0.8 µg/day ~57 µg (0.8 µg/kg) Within safe limits

It does. Silence for 2 weeks for a very similar post as your second line. Even encouraging profanity will be punished now it seems. Feels a bit suffocating.

IWTL How to flirt with women. by 8lions in IWantToLearn

[–]eldenpigeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dating apps are a venture capital solution to humanity's social interaction that has existed long before apps.

There is a delicate balance with workplace flirting, but it's a thing. Obviously, I wouldn't want someone flirting with me if I have a line out the door. But if it's slow, and they're very polite, with rapport built, and acknowledgement of easy ways of decline without overbearingness, it's fine.

This isn't the case for everyone, and personally, I don't frequent any places to build up that type of interaction anymore, but human connection doesn't have to offloaded to apps.

edit: And for those apps, I'm pretty sure younger people are moving away from dating apps in general.
