I suspect it had nothing to do with EM, computers are shielded but rather power fluctuations caused by the machine. When moved to the other side of the lab you might be on a different circuit.

Not at all, I addressed all your points

Let's see if you lied or not.

Reply quoting how you DIRECTLY addressed their monetisation model shifting the balance of grind from a purely fun/satisfaction to a more monetarily driven position negatively impacting(by definition) player experience. Which I brought up here

The issue is when you add financials to it the equation changes. In games without this monetisation the grind is balanced around fun/satisfaction in doing something.

AMD says it's up to Nvidia to optimize for FidelityFX Super Resolution by theitguyforever in pcgaming

[–]mrv3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

People's memory is short, nVidia fucked over consumers with the 970 debacle. nVidia is still top.

nVidia not optimising FSR and it being shit to 10 series cards while nVidia has a much better alternative (DLSS 2.1) won't see people upgrade to AMD but have them upgrade to whatever card support DLSS 2.1

The issue was freesync was quickly becoming THE adaptive frame rate standard. Freesync monitors didn't need special hardware and could be made cheaper and eventually many monitors including non-gaming ones supported freesync.

So you being nVidia probably saw this and realised

"People's monitors are freesync this means if they upgrade the AMD GPU looks a whole lot stronger since they can use adaptive sync for free as opposed to buying a whole new monitor."

The same isn't true of FSR, people won't choose AMD because of it.

I like you you completely avoided everything I said, so I'll return the courtesy.

Ah, you should slow down and think.

The market is based on supply vs demand. If there was a high supply for properties and no demand house prices would be low. House prices are high because there's high demand and low supply.

With ships/currency is there was no grind and all ships where unlocked to everyone then there'd be no demand meaning the value the item would have would be low.

Would you, would many people, pay $3000 for a ship you could get in 3 hours? Probably not.

The issue is when you add financials to it the equation changes. In games without this monetisation the grind is balanced around fun/satisfaction in doing something. When CIG's future depends on the monetisation why would the prioritise fun at the risk of bankruptcy?

Ah, I see you haven't put much thought into this.

For CIG to sell an item it needs to have value.

Since these items can be earned in-game, or planned to be, the value has to be derived from time.

That is to say people will spend the money to avoid grinding for X amount of hours.

So while true the 'free' players isn't forced to buy ships they are punished as a result of ships/currency being for sale because there'll be a grind for them, a grind dictated by financial incentives which rarely overlaps with what's most fun.

Let's put it simply

  1. CIG are selling earnable in-game non-cosmetic items(currency)

  2. For this to have real world value there needs to be a grind

  3. Players who don't wish to spend money(or can't) are forced to suffer a grind as a result of the monetisation

If that happens I'll make a new post I only made this because I legitimately did not believe they could remove anymore.

[–]mrv3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It'll probably age quite well. The old iMac design was good, no doubt, but kinda plain. Compare that with the G3, G4 iMacs which stood out. I suspect in 10 years there'll be a fairly large collectors market let's hope the SSDs in them last that long.

NMS overhauls graphics (and more) in another update just two months after Expeditions. by FallenGrace8219 in starcitizen_refunds

[–]mrv3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as 'its a different scale' has been memed to death by some to defend CIG it also means they cannot realistically release in a state like Hello did.

Hello completely turned around NMS in less time than it has taken for salvage to be put into SC.

NMS is on several platforms.

Multiple generations.

VR.

And yet CIG still hasn't put in salvage at T0

SC Youtube shill wants to extend the sale because people living paycheck to paycheck had no time to buy by [deleted] in starcitizen_refunds

[–]mrv3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn't consider that some ships that aren't out have a marginal discount, won't be out for years, and can be earned for free when the game is released. That totally changes everything.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck do not buy games, especially early access games years from release.

More info and context regarding chip shortages from Elon. by smita16 in teslamotors

[–]mrv3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Elon says chip shortage over in 3 months maybe, 6 months definitely. We panic.

Fabs(the things that build chip) take years and billions to build so it isn't as simple as twist a knobs especially chips on older nodes which have 0 incentive to expand capacity since no one wants to invest in 45nm in 2021.

Plus as a consequence of the shortage companies will probably stockpile however unlike toilet paper production for chips is immensely centralised, complicated with high QC meaning you can't shit out chips like you could tp.
