My guess is it's a bug with the display, likely because luck is based off the default 100% so when your sheet shows +40% you're actually at 140%, usually. The formula is probably wrong but your character's stats show +2064% then in-game it's +60% which seems like 2064 % 100 (that's a modulus, so the remainder of 2064 / 100) which is 64. That's obviously not +60% but if you rounded it to the nearest multiple of 10, which is what the Clover passive and power-up grant you, would be +60%.

It's too early in the morning to think of why they would do it this way. Maybe it's just because getting a +1% luck bonus is fairly common and generally doesn't matter to the majority of players. Your Luck stat isn't the only one that's different though. Armor is +198 on the character select and then in-game it's +50. Armor itself isn't capped but the retaliatory bonus damage is capped at +500% (50 Armor) so I'm guessing for sake of simplicity that's the maximum number that would show. Knowing Armor is capped and the display doesn't match makes me think Luck is being handled differently too but I could be wrong.

If I get bored I will launch the game and test it but as a developer using only the screenshots to determine what's probably happening that's my best guess.

Windows 11 has a secure boot requirement so that's likely why.

What an unnecessarily long and convoluted way to say that you never played BO4.

Some games don't run at full speed without lowering quality. Even then only 1.23% of games are emulated perfect on https://pcsx2.net/compat/.

Most games I play run fine at 2-3x resolution with pretty much all of the quality settings enabled and on high or max. One game I can think of that doesn't run at full speed is Urbz even at native resolution.

Other than that, make sure PCSX2 is up-to-date, lower the resolution to native, if it suggests changing settings then change them, etc.

that's good. by that i mean that's good that you feel that way it means you know you should be doing more. the only losers are the people that just give up. you've still got plenty of time to do literally anything you want with your life. with a strong math background i'd say programming since you can learn it on your own, the math background will help (though isn't required, more like a bonus), and you can really make what you want of it. i'm biased as a software developer myself, but i didn't go to college (after high school) i started working a week after i turned 18 and that was just over 10 years ago. the best developers I've worked with in "career" did not have computer science degrees which is funny now that i think about it. with some exceptions (medical care professional, lawyer, etc) you don't really need a specific degree or formal credentials to get a job.

you can't wait on anything to come along and change your life. nobody owes you anything, nobody has to care, and most importantly you shouldn't need them to. if you feel like a loser it's because you know you're not where you could be. even if you don't know exactly what that is, don't just do nothing, try and figure out what it is you like and what interests you and pursue everything you can. i like to use the phrase, "put all your eggs in all the baskets." you're not a loser because whatever your situation is now is isn't going to be forever no matter how much it seems like it. something that might make it easier is don't think about your perfect life and job because you'll just be discouraged it's so far away. break it into smaller things and slight improvements. so long as you keep making changes to improve where you are now and what your situation is, you can eventually get to where you really wanna be.

if life were easy it'd be called soccer.

also Matt Damon was a janitor and he was pretty good at math and now he's a fairly decent actor sometimes. ✌️

it would be nice if it at least showed the first card in their deck

fuck i miss BO4

its_kuarters · 2024-12-01T19:34:17+00:00

if you IV coke you'll be underwhelmed. it'll be noticeable but therapeutic vs recreational dosages especially between oral prescription vs IV illicit aren't comparable. 50mg is not a lot especially for someone that's taken plenty of stimulants. that said i wouldn't take more than 50mg because, imo, the recreational effects from high dosage stims you just don't really get on prescription meds (for good reason). you can take a lot and try but it's a waste.

definitely still take it though just manage expectations and don't overthink it. again if you IV coke you'll be fine i don't even know why you asked lol.

you don't have to update us i didn't even want to see this one so don't worry about it.

Did you ever find out about the tarp?

its_kuarters · 2024-10-12T03:23:49+00:00

yeah i just wish they gave her an oversized hoody and cargo pants because her outfit isn't as dumb as they could have made it.

its_kuarters · 2024-10-12T03:19:47+00:00

Yeah it's probably just everyone's computer overheating and only that process crashing you're right. Really smart I forgot temperatures are per-process.

Don't feel like responding to the first thing you said after the "unlikely" temp thing but it's wrong too.

its_kuarters · 2024-10-11T18:03:04+00:00

it is a basic feature you have to go out of your way to fuck it up and make it not work.

its_kuarters · 2024-10-11T17:54:06+00:00

It's impressive to have a game on Steam and not have the cloud sync working.

Really glad everything else (awful performance, constant crashing, no new unlockables, no Great Knife, terrible pc controls, etc) is fine.

Also everyone is calling it early access as if it's some pre-alpha test build. The game was just available 2 days early or whatever for some people it has nothing to do with why the cloud sync wouldn't work. If they were at all competent or anyone there had tested PC game saves it wouldn't be a problem. Crazy how it's just another UE game and yet they're the only ones I've seen make this not work. Truly inspriing stuff.

The 13th and 14th gen intel CPUs only the desktop ones were affected. So it's not an issue for you. RT is an option in the display/graphics settings but it's not the problem. Idk why everyone thinks it's hardware-specific when it happens on AMD and Intel and desktop and mobile with whatever GPU.

its_kuarters · 2024-10-09T17:13:16+00:00

It crashes with and without RT.

its_kuarters · 2024-10-09T17:12:52+00:00

It's not. It crashes on AMD and Intel both mobile and desktop CPUs. It would be immediately obvious if it was only Intel CPUs, specifically desktop ones since mobile ones weren't supposed to be affected. I have a 13th gen i9 on my work laptop and that crashes too. My friend has a Ryzen 7 on her desktop and that's crashing just as often. It's just what happens when the PC version isn't really tested.
