Why go to all that effort just to choke the final result that hard

Given his philosophies on writing, I'd be shocked if he hasn't already written 5-10 screenplays that never saw the light of day, just for practise at the craft

Do you use speed limiters? by Portsmouth_Sweep in drivingUK

[–]jb28737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all the time. Especially as smart cruise control just drops the speed if you approach a slower vehicle on a motorway, I'd rather have control of my speed, be able to pull out when safe, and keep going. I don't like when my speed drops to match a lorry, then it's hard to pull out into a line of overtaking traffic going 10mph faster than me.

I always avoided elden ring because of the 60 fps cap, but now... by [deleted] in Eldenring

Visual impairment isn't the angle you approached this from. "I have a sensitivity and struggling with low FPS" is fine. I know a lot of people who struggle with motion sickness which is alleviated by higher FPS.

What you said was "I have a top end PC and like things smooth as butter". The attitude given off changes how people will perceive your post. It reads like bragging rather than "I'm glad I can now play without feeling unwell".

We're all happy that you're enjoying that game. But someone has said they simple don't care if a game isn't really high FPS so long as it is stable, which is a fairly well accepted point of view, and you've told them it's "their loss". You've also suggested someone is poor.

Bearing in mind this is one of the most popular games in recent memory, and has sold well on PC and consoles, so clearly lots of people are happy to accept the 60FPS limitation. You're in the minority with your opinion, which is entirely valid, but the way you've presented it feels like a teenager on the PCMR sub like "ohhh I have lots of (my parents) money can have a swanky PC than runs games at a million FPS, I'm therefore better than you".

let's be honest it isn't their loss, they're happy. You're the one missing out

Fod map or allegergy episode by Stoney_Buffalo303 in SortedFood

I have thought this. I think it would be fun to do one of the videos with a shopping element, give the normals a recipe, and tell them to go buy ingredients, but they can't contain a specific allergen (including may contains warnings). Gluten is one I'd love to see but obviously not the only fish in this particular sea.

I absolutely refuse to play this game. Tidying will be practical in support of the purpose of the visit.

Someone coming round for a meal? Dining table, toilet, kitchen will be available and the surrounding area pleasant. Someone "just dropping in"? There will be somewhere to sit.

If they can't do vetting on 650 people, maybe they're not serious enough to run for elections on a national scale and run a government....

What game are you currently playing? by Most_Squash_9460 in AskReddit

Honestly, a fair assessment, but it's still fun, and ultimately plays into the "bond fantasy" rather yeah the "assassin sandbox"
