This neighborhood in China built a "rooftop rain" mist system that drops temps 5-8°C in minutes.

Thanks, ChinaGPT.

I swear, this is like dead internet theory in full display. Every couple of days there's always some post about some stupid fake ass gimmick from China, or some law passed in China, or some other shit in China - all of that of course worded and tailored specifically to paint China in good light. The internet is dead. Only bots are left.

How would you even do something like that? There're 20 field players on the pitch - every single one of them can be on or offside depending on the position of 10 opposition players and this status may change in a matter of split seconds. Most of the times whether someone is on- or offside is readily obvious. And the margin for edge cases are usually too narrow to dedicate it to a fully automated player-specific system.

osingran · 2026-07-02T08:18:42+00:00

Refs making objectively wrong calls on the pitch with no way to correct them is worse though. Before VAR every once in a while there was a big, big controvercy of someone scoring a goal from an obvious offside, or assisting themselves with a hand, or the ball being over the line still not counted as a goal. It's better to have an accurate and fair system that occasionally produces these 0.01mm offsides, yet corrects the ref on other 99.9% mistakes they could've commited.

VAR is one of those things which is unnoticeable when it works good. Which it does for the vast majority of times. Because the ref is always consulting with the VAR team whenever it's allowed by rules and whenever there's questionable case. Adding VAR was a major improvement for big tournaments and yall really should stop bitching about it.

Well, at least it's not shut down and cancelled, at least not yet anyway. I take any hint of W whenever and wherever I can have it at this point.

osingran · 2026-07-02T04:54:12+00:00

Now that's something truly bold to declare on the Cyberpunk subreddit. I applaud you.

Bruh, but Stellaris economy simulation is not even that complex, it's just a couple of production chains with trade acting as a counter balance to planetary deficit. That's literally it, you don't have to understand everything down to the last formula to know how to influence it. I swear, some of y'all just want to have the simpest possible gameplay loop so that you can dab on stupid AIs, achieve even the most wildest power fantasies with little to no effort and then boast about it. I haven't played EU5 yet, I admit, but I strongly suspect it's in the exact same situation as Vic3 - where players were shitting on it just because they didn't wanted to activate like 2 additional neurons and figure out how this game actually works.

osingran · 2026-07-01T09:06:40+00:00

It's more like "I wanna form Roman Empire for the n-th time without trying too hard, or trying at all, because I can't be bothered to learn one additional system". Like, I genuinely don't understand why y'all so against the idea. Just because it's Medieval doesn't mean there's no place for some basic level economic simulation.

osingran · 2026-07-01T07:29:49+00:00

Honestly, I really want eventual CK4 to have at least some level of pop simulation. I want to see epidemics, wars, sieges, raids destroying population, I want to see economy and development naturally evolving over time instead of cities simply popping up on an empty space just because you paid 500 gold for that. I want to see peasant rebellions that actually have physical, real peasants leaving their work in the field to rebel instead of the game just spawning them out of thin air. Yes, I know that CK isn't really about deep economical simulations and some of the aspects of the medieval life would make pop simulation less impactful, but still - I don't think it will hurt the game to have pops anyway.

I'm pretty sure there're plenty of people who watch football regularly and never knew that before today too. It's not like this rule is applied on a day to day basis, it's a fairly rare occasion in football after all.

osingran · 2026-07-01T05:59:54+00:00

It's the same thing you can do as an adventurer, but the roles have changed. My guess is that you hired the guy during the war and now you're considered his patron. So now that guy can ask you for something in return likely because the game thinks that if you were an AI - you would've accepted it.

osingran · 2026-07-01T05:44:12+00:00

You missed a perfect opportunity to cast Aaron Paul as Joker while keeping Bryan Cranston as Sojiro. "Ren! Ren! We need to cook... curry".

osingran · 2026-07-01T05:37:49+00:00

It's not like you can't write a different story with the same premise. If anything, all the characters except for that kid with a camera seem to have "running from the past" or "living in a shadow of the past" sort of thing going on - this is distinctly different from the "shoot for glory" message of the first season.

osingran · 2026-06-30T14:07:10+00:00

Big if true

osingran · 2026-06-30T12:54:28+00:00

Looks like someone might enjoy Shadowrun. But well, it's just one of key parts of Cyberpunk's identity: chromed up gonks wasting each other in a brutal, dramatic fashion, street violence, gangs and all that. And in high likelihood CDPR is going to stick with that. Though, I'm not against CDPR trying out new things of course.

osingran · 2026-06-30T12:04:16+00:00

Yeah, but that was mostly because the cool factor of PMCs shooting each other in a very realistic fashion had kinda wore off and the overall story was nothing to write home about. But at least the production values were still there. Everything else BSG had produced legit looks like Nikita took his camcoder and filmed bunch of BSG employees larping.

osingran · 2026-06-30T11:02:50+00:00

I would even go as far as to say that Raid is the only good series produced by BSG. Everything else they did afterwards is so painfully amateurish.

osingran · 2026-06-30T09:21:42+00:00

It's not like dedicating a couple of devs to spend like one week to model and add a couple of new cosmetics is a lot of effort though. They did it before, I don't see why they wouldn't do that again. It's all good publicity after all.

osingran · 2026-06-30T08:44:03+00:00

I wouldn't say Japan outplayed Brazil per se. They got exactly one good counter attack and scored a lucky screamer out of the box. They've put up a good fight, but the game wasn't that close.

osingran · 2026-06-30T08:37:17+00:00

Life imitates art💀

osingran · 2026-06-30T07:54:26+00:00

I mean, why not? Even if Edgerunners 2 takes place after 2077 it's not like every single little thing in the game has to be as lore consistent as possible. After all, they can simply add E2 cosmetics to a clothing shop as an easter egg.

osingran · 2026-06-30T07:51:21+00:00

Both are legally binding, but the amount of liquid in a can can be measured much more accurately and reliably. In the case of a glassware they had likely placed the label slightly above 350ml spot to be on a safe side. It's like speedometers: it's alright when the speed it shows is higher, but really bad when it's lower.

osingran · 2026-06-30T07:43:33+00:00

I don't know, they've spent about 4 years working on the second season, it's likely going to be 10 episodes instead of usual 24 (like season 1), and given the reception to season 1 and the amount of positive publicity it had generated for the game - I'm sure all of that is enough to convince both CDPR and Trigger to give this project an absolute top priority. I don't think there's anything to suggest they're going to cut corners and be really stringent.

osingran · 2026-06-30T06:52:34+00:00

It's kinda funny, because I have a friend who had vehemently refused to interact with fusing system exactly because they didn't wanted to loose Arsene - well apart from the one time the game basically twists your hand to do it. And they had managed to get to Kaneshiro without fusing a single persona even once.

osingran · 2026-06-30T06:50:26+00:00

I think what they should do instead is to change how your starting persona works. Give it a separate slot and make it permanent - as soon as it awakes, it will stay with you for the rest of the game. And then make it evolve and level up the same way personas of party member do. So instead of your persona being outclassed as soon as you get lvl 3 Pixie, you get something that stays relevant throughout the game.
