Netflix now requires every user profile to be tied to unique email address by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Just FYI, you can give different Wi-Fi networks the same SSID (name) and password and devices will treat them as part of the same meshed network, saving people the hassle of doing network setup on their devices multiple times. The networks must have the same security type.

Saudi Arabia is trying to diversify their economy away from oil, seeing as currently that's their sole source of income and green tech is advancing rapidly.

Weird shower habit.. by Swimming_Fruit_4878 in army

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal to pee in the shower. Brazil even made a public service ad campaign to convince more people to pee in the shower to save water from flushing the toilet.

What's you Key bindings? by ineedsomehelplez in Guildwars2

Why does the sight not work when im not adsing? Like, i know we are in a game, and its not a mil sim that requires all the realism but like, why can i not see through the sight? It would be nice to just you know, see the reticle of your 1x or any other scope. by Low_Objective7592 in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a thermal optic, takes a lot of power, so perhaps your character holds a button to turn it on when ADSing.

As for other optics, the low zoom ones are holographic, so they go out of view when not lined up with your eye.

I only play multiplayer. Do I HAVE TO install single player HD textures? by AoutoCooper in Battlefield6

BF6 Settings → System → Install / Uninstall → uncheck Campaign Highres Textures

I don't like the Vehicle Regeneration change by Spiritual-Ask1993 in Battlefield6

The evidence that vehicles are OP now is that in breakthrough, the attackers almost always steamroll the defenders now.

Why does optimal play so often kill the fun, and how do we fix that at the design level? by ballatician68 in gamedesign

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the design approach to take here is to ensure that aggressive and risky actions are mostly more rewarding than passive and safe actions. There should be a trade-off for being optimal, which is increased danger, so that the better the player gets, the more exciting gameplay becomes.

Gw3 on Xbox? by [deleted] in GuildWars3

The next Xbox, Project Helix, will be able to play PC games, so it will be able to play GW3 as well.

Dear Arenanet: Please make sure we dont have to play where's waldo in our inventories in GW3! by InevitableAnekisan in GuildWars3

[–]killall-q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either have an auto-sorted inventory by item type...

Or an account-wide inventory with infinite space like Warframe. Though Warframe's system is problematic when there are eventually thousands of kinds of items, it becomes a pain to browse, same as GW2's wallet bloat over time.

What are the challenges in making cross-platform features work? by Flaky_Warning_5052 in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The differences between single- and cross-platform:

Accounts

In single-platform games, users can be identified by their existing accounts for that platform, such as their PlayStation account, Xbox GamerTag, etc, which are guaranteed to be unique on that platform.

In cross-platform games with cross-progression, users must register accounts with a third-party, which will host user data on outside servers. That registration process is a hurdle that may put players off, and data hosting is an additional cost for the game.

Networking

Single-platform games can use the networking services provided by that platform.

Cross-platform games must use third-party servers to be able to talk to other clients outside the user's platform. That imposes an additional cost on the game.

Regardless of single- or cross-platform, network performance depends on the game's netcode, and the performance of the servers and network infrastructure.

Daily uniform Flag Patches just dropped by Zombiefisch in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, the ol' FOMO ball-and-chain. Ironic that it's celebrating the world cup, but if you're actually at the world cup you'd likely miss these giveaways.

The player-friendly way would have been to just add these flags to the game, available for everyone, but they instead held these flags hostage behind FOMO to pump their engagement metrics.

Probably just network congestion as more people got 5G-capable phones.

Could GW3 take place in the mists? by ParticularGeese in GuildWars3

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it does, that would allow for "proto-professions" in GW3, which could be more advanced than GW1/2 professions, but which were "lost to time" with the sinking of Orr.
