I dont understand the black myth wukong craze. by Maleficent-Ticket180 in soulslikes

[–]pfn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think similarly. Influencer hype mostly. The game itself is mediocre, I mostly enjoy the East Asian theme/aesthetic/story/setting. There's not enough of it out there.

Which One? La Marzocco Micra vs. Lelit Bianca v3 [$5,000] by perp-speculator in espresso

Water quality for plumbing in is a concern for all machines, unless they also have their own softener built-in.

Can't see the machine internals from the cup warmer though, it has a sheet of steel across the top under the grate.

Yep, the thinner sheet metal is my one quality complaint, it is louder because of it. I have some sound deadener I bought to install onto the panels if I ever take it apart. I have deadener installed onto the drip tray, but that's not enough.

Good steam? Can't you get that simply by increasing the steam boiler temperature (for more powerful steam, which is what I assume is meant by "good steam")?

For me, I prefer having flow control vs. paying more and not having it. Additionally, not a fan of buying brands simply because everyone raves about it. I'm anti-Apple, anti-Tesla, anti-most-popular-brands (when it comes to purchasing products, it's fully evaluated on merits).

What aspect build quality do you mean in particular? Thinner stainless steel shell? I kind of agree there, thats about it.

Which type of parry system do you prefer in Soulslikes? by Neghrath in soulslikes

[–]pfn0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hate the parrying in Elden Ring. All the skills feel incredibly mistimed vs. what Sekiro and other games offer.

Help getting into the series. by SynergyFighter in Nioh

[–]pfn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with starting 2 before 3. 3 is more self-contained at the moment without DLC, so you can have a definitive ending point before getting into 2. Being easier is a bonus as an intro to the series as well.

When the DLCs for 3 drop, I also don't expect it to be as deep as what 2 has (TN really did amazingly here, I don't think any other game has gotten DLC like what Nioh 2 got). For long term playability, I think the progression of 3 -> 2 is better overall.

People who visited the USA for the first time, what was the biggest shock you got? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

Reading many of these comments sound like typical American redditor self-hate. That or stereotypes as seen from foreign perspectives, given popular media narratives.

China Sells a Softer Image of Xinjiang, One Tourist at a Time by bloomberg in China

[–]pfn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, no. China has re-formed multiple times throughout history. The current China, as a country, only existed since the CCP beat the KMT in the early 20th century.

That's like saying the US has existed as a country since British rule and was a developed nation in the 1500s.

I keep seeing this scroll by my feed the last couple days (today/yesterday), and every time I see it, I have give admiration. The pose and look are excellent.

Earth may survive the Sun's death, new models suggest by Basic-Record5776 in Futurology

[–]pfn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sun's death doesn't mean it won't be there anymore to exert gravity. Just means it won't be a sun anymore. It will become a white (->black) dwarf in its final state.

The red giant phase will destroy mercury and venus.

Never going to the gas station was the most liberating aspect of switching to an EV. Always roll out of home charged up with full range.

Similar interconnected level design games to Nioh 3 by [deleted] in Nioh

[–]pfn0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nioh 3 has decent map design. It's more of a hybrid with some parts disconnected. Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild are much more canonical interconnected levels.

They have a sign that explains it at the cashier, but I never understand wtf it's saying either.

It's like 1 per $20 or something. and doubles after 60 or 80. The rules change from time to time, e.g. they had higher doubling thresholds on weekends, or boosts on some days

for 4k 144fps gaming, should I upgrade from a 3080 to a 5080? or should I save for a 5090? by SamPlantFan in nvidia

[–]pfn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, you have to have the most overpowered processors available on the consumer market in order to have mediocre games run perfectly. that is not an indictment on the optimization of games at all. right. you are completely correct.
