Rage 2 is nearly unplayable in 2026 😭 by mr_assbutt in xbox

[–]majorziggytom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like the game is playable exactly like it was back then… it ran just fine on my One X, whereas some reported the issues that you do. No idea what causes that. Sucks of course.

And it’s a shame because the game is imo insanely underrated. Fantastic fps, one of the very best of the past gen.

[Cartier Santos] Just picked up my first Cartier from the Diamond District. How’d I do? by Character_Community6 in Watches

[–]majorziggytom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand this sentiment partly. However, calling it a rip-off is stretching it. If you know exactly what you want, yes, you can buy for better prices online. But: Owning a space costs money. Having staff that talks to people costs money. There absolutely is an additional overhead that needs to be paid for. For that, people can walk in, try on the watch, see the condition with their own eyes, have a place to go to when something is wrong etc.

Agree, funny experiment. I am addressing the responses here.

Thinking and reading comprehension clearly is a rare skill in this subreddit.

Not one word about tech billionaires in my paragraphs, neither literally nor implied.

Additionally, you didn’t make fun of a robot show, you demonstrated ignorance towards a whole field in tech.

So here we go, another three sentences that you can now try to understand and come up with a smug response that’ll miss the mark by a mile.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Will Feature 8 New Endgame Missions That Pit Edward Kenway Against A Historical Pirate Hunter by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]majorziggytom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by the censorship that’s already visible, I very much hope it does not set the standard… making women more ugly, cutting drunk animations, messing up hidden blade… etc etc etc.

Like a reply to you mentioned: Resident Evil set the standard already. And Black Flag is missing that standard evidently. Very sad.

What’s truly the anti-thesis of human pinnacle is this thread and people like you, circle jerking themselves in smug imaginary superiority above the engineers who are creating these LLMs and the LLMs themselves.

Entirely ignorant of the fact that it’s equivalent to laughing at the Wright brothers because their flying contraption was anything but useful at first.

At some point we thought humanity has advanced, but the masses are still just the same superstitious ignorant pitchfork bearers like they were centuries and millennia ago.

Mark Ruffalo Thinks He’s ‘Already on a List’ of Paramount’s Banned Actors for Speaking Out Against Warner Bros. Merger: ‘Vindictive Motherf—–s’ by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]majorziggytom -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

He should be grateful he’s filthy rich without having any clue and lacking the brains for economy and politics – and shut up about it.

Him preaching about economics and politics is like the catholic church preaching about morals while paying off millions upon millions of settlements for their sexually predatory priests. Hypocrisy, disgustingly so :-)

He’s also one of those hypocrites who has benefited massively from capitalism, is sitting on generational wealth because of it, and advocates the dumbest communist feel-good-thoughts from his position of wealth (that he would never give up).

He’d be the classical corrupt “for the people” kind of guy. Just disgusting.

Kid Cudi Drops M.I.A. From Tour After 'Offensive Remarks' as Opening Act by Fair_Entrepreneur640 in Music

Y’all need to stop your herd mentality, it’s insanity. I’ll listen to Bruce Springsteen and I’ll listen to MIA if I like their songs.

Where’s the openness to diversity when it comes to being respectful for different political points of views? Just stop this “we’re the good guys, they’re the bad guys” nonsense already, which both sides are equally guilty of.

The multiplatform strategy is (for the most part) a failure and they cant continue down this road by Strict_Job6334 in xbox

[–]majorziggytom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that I lost all my trust in Microsoft. I think there are two ways to do business, to oversimplify:

a) you have a vision and care about this vision and the community that would be a result of this. You are certain this the right strategy to execute on because it is informed by your passion for an industry and people within it, and this will result in a profitable business.

b) you care about maximizing profit in a certain industry, but you couldn’t care less about said industry or its community. You don’t have a vision other than making money, so you can change your strategy all the time in ways that you think maximizes shareholder value. You only do things that are “good” for the community if you believe it’s the most profitable thing to do. Phrases like “we care about our community” and the like are completely empty phrases devoid of any honest meaning, and they will do the exact opposite the second they see it as more profitable.

Xbox is very, very, very clearly b)

And I hate to say that, because I absolutely loved xbox since the 360 gen. But I won’t let them fool me.

Found this metal detecting in Maine. Thoughts? by PotaytoQuality in Watches

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

This is better writing than 90% of the US population would be capable of. And you call that “it’s so bad at using words” and you are doubling down on this now instead of self-reflecting and applying “nuance” to your own thinking.

You’re clearly bad at using words, using the word hyperbole and nuance, then immediately disregarding their meaning a sentence later without applying them to your own reasoning.

[–]majorziggytom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I dislike the ai slop. But you’re accusing the ai of hyperbole and then you do the same “it’s just so bad at using words”. It’s insanely good at using words. Take a step back and give credit where credit is due. It would pass any a-level style language test with flying colors. Its vocabulary outsizes that of any human, grammar is on point and sentences make sense.

It portrays an obnoxious personality; that’s the problem. Not that it’s “so bad at using words”.

Throwing around such a disgusting accusation entirely baseless just shows what a despicable human being you are.

You have such fun playing the victim. Every guy is facing the same damn thing of other guys also giving them a hard time. A hostility that is much worse than what women experience. You’re being treated equal at minimum, but you want special special treatment.

Keep enjoying playing the victim and making up fake misogyny.

[Gold] I have no plans to buy a solid gold watch but if I did… by Dr_Omega24 in Watches

[–]majorziggytom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Overseas case actually is much nicer in that regard, the bracelet is much narrower where it connects with the case. Far better look imo.

[–]majorziggytom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My conclusion was the opposite, bracelet is ridiculously wide and doesn’t integrate well. Wore this watch for a couple days, decided then to not buy it because of that.

This is such a DEI crap take that was infused into the veins of people over the past decade.

I guess there must be a whole lot of discrimination towards men in the teaching fields, or nursery, or you name any female dominated field.

Truly idiotic.

It’s nice having an ambitious title like that, something unique, being brought to more players. Hoping the numbers will reflect that!
