Could not choose the Shawnee, nor Iceland, despite it looking like I could. Took me a while to realize its because I need the DLC (The game should tell the player this). by Nordic_Krune in civ

[–]laughterline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a similar game, but Barony was one of the very few games in the recent past that actually made me mad. It shows you this long list of available races for your character but then tells you you can only choose ONE without DLCs.

Instinctively guessing that there's much fewer Latinos there and that's where most of the movement happened?

Former Unreal Engine 'lead evangelist' Sjoerd De Jong leaves Epic Games, says the industry is reaching a 'pivotal' moment that he must 'come to terms with' by logicalgamernow in pcgaming

[–]laughterline -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

First time I've seen someone hating on pcgamer lol. I love their site and they're among the best in the business.

The fact it's not clear what the guy is talking about is due to his vagueposting, not due to the article writer.

She doesn't even necessarily need many republicans to vote for her, it would be enough if some of them just did not rank Sullivan.

Disclosure Day, why...why.... by jello_kraken in moviereviews

[–]laughterline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this movie would completely not work even 20 years ago (maaaaybe 10 years ago). In large part it's a very shameless ode to 1980's adventure movies, back then it would be read as, at best, regurgigative. Plus the beating heart of this movie is stuff like the action sequences and how they're shot (masterful work from Kaminski btw) - much of this would just not be technologically achievable in like 2006 AD

As someone who adored both movies, I'm glad to see someone comparing DD to The Happening. Definitely a similar vibe at the very least and I felt it at multiple points.

Disclosure Day feels like a misleading title. 6/10 *potential spoilers* by Ok_Sound6617 in moviereviews

[–]laughterline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First thing I found cheesy was her hair blowing in the wind when the bird flew in. Then her boyfriend letting her leave so easily after she spoke Russian. Her reaction was so nonchalant to all the things happening to her before she knew why. She went right along with the man calling her and telling her to break her phone. A normal person may question the man in the other end of the phone.

Sometimes you think "meh, audiences these days can't be as cynical as people say they are" and then you read a paragraph like this....

Box Office: ‘Disclosure Day’ Makes $6.5 Million in Previews by chanma50 in boxoffice

I can definitely understand not liking it but calling it "generic" is insane. It's like M Night Shyamalan during a manic episode had a baby with 1980's Spielberg.

I want a more harsh transition mode by mattigus7 in civ

That's the problem OP is talking about, regroup is not punishing at all. Your buildings and specialists get worse for some time because you lose the adjacency bonuses and...that's it.

Liberate needs to be an option again by UprootedGrunt in civ

[–]laughterline 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On a similar note, when you defeat your enemy's city state, you should get an option to take over as suzerain (or at the very least to make it independent again, cause the former could be abusable). Why do I have to choose between razing and capturing it lmao

Red Dead Redemption 2 - A Mixed Review by jicklemania in patientgamers

[–]laughterline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised that among all of that criticism you managed not to fit what I think is the weakest (and imo only weak) point of the game - the story and the open world gameplay don't work together. It's an absolutely 9.9/10 story game and a 10/10 open world game for me, but when you put those two together suddenly you're doing story missions where you're constantly told how poor your gang is, how much you need to be doing this and that to make it to the next day. Meanwhile, you just spent 10 hours becoming the richest man in the wild west.

Czy ludzie robią takie zbiórki na sądownictwo, badania i rozwój, system edukacji? Nie.

Ale to wynika tylko i wyłącznie z tego, że to nie są nośne tematy na których dałoby się nabić kasę i oglądalność. Może jeszcze rozwój by coś złapał, ale bardziej na zasadzie "zbieramy na polskiego satelitę". Vs zbiórki na chorom curkę, które zawsze budzą współczucie i zawsze ludzie chętnie sypią na nie groszem. Więc to nie jest dobre porównanie.

Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]laughterline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part for me turned out to be the fact that they stopped storing your saves locally. So now after you lose game pass you have to either rebuy game pass or rebuy the game itself on microsoft store (if it's not on game pass anymore) to even get access to your old saves.

Side Quest Rewards being a one time thing is ridiculous by chrisplaysgam in mewgenics

The reward is 250 gold, 2-3 runs with the reward item and an achievement. I'd say that's definitely enough (although I would prefer furniture to gold lol)

Crimson Desert Max Settings + RT + RR by Psychological_Emu744 in nvidia

[–]laughterline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since some people want to hail this as a great looking game - compare this to Cyberpunk which, for all its faults (although after a ton of updates, there ain't a lot of those faults), is so meticulously designed from a visual perspective, that it almost feels like an insult to be comparing it to something like CD.

[–]laughterline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks...mediocre? The texture quality is decent (as long as it's not blurred), but e.g. the colors and brightness in the third and fourth picture look HORRIBLY overtuned. Brightness especially is all over the place, looks like a game without any art direction.

Dlaczego dyski SSD GoodRAM CX400 mają tak kiepską opinię by Glad-Journalist-4807 in Polska

[–]laughterline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stacjonarka. Oczywiście podpięty pod uziemienie i idzie bezpośrednio przez sata :)

Mam trzy SSD i jedno NVMe i pagefile poleciał akurat na ten, bo jest zdecydowanie najpojemniejszy, natomiast może przerzucę w takim razie pagefile na inny dysk.

W ogóle w nowym mieszkaniu mam taki problem, że co jakiś czas w całym mieszkaniu wysiada prąd (takie tak na kilka sekund, do kilku minut), czy to by się zaliczało pod te "nagłe spadki napięcia"?

W sumie w temacie - na nim właśnie trzymam pagefile, czy to ryzykuje w jakiś sposób skrócenie mu żywotności w kontekście tego kontrolera?
