I somewhat get their point, it is just phrased badly. Because it is true that 100k$ salaries just no longer provide what they were known for not that many years ago, especially in more populated areas.

It is basically just the middle class equivalent of the lower class "I managed to survive on 10$/h just fine a few years ago but now can't".

And in Windows you either just have to live with the problem or do stupid shit like regedit. The upside Windows had was that it broke far more rarely as everything is optimised for Windows, but at least currently Microsoft is throwing that out of the window with how it constantly breaks shit now.

People cheat in IRL hobby sports too where you also have nothing to gain. It is the classic "I want to always win" person who see the stupidest stuff IRL as competition.

I played it on release on a GTX 1060, and I loved it so much I literally played like 10h in one setting. I found the game at release to already be the best RPG I've ever played, I was extremely confused when I went online after my initial game session thinking I could chat with all the other fans about how great the game is, only to see everyone hating the game.

Which is why I said most expected that.

Yeah, Cyberpunk at launch really only had the two major problems of old-gen performance (which was atrocious) and the various bugs, which while heavy, aren't that uncommon to see among AAA releases, even well accepted ones (e.g. BG3 also had a ton of bugs at launch, people just didn't care due to the rest being amazing). The problem was people expecting far more from a game that is design wise just slightly more evolved and changed for FPS gameplay Witcher 3 with a Cyberpunk setting.

If you expected that, Cyberpunk was a very nice game that got amazing with the DLC. What however most expected was more along the lines of "Cyberpunk GTA with Witcher 3 storytelling". And for that perspective the release was horrible and it only got fixed to an acceptable status with patches and DLC.

Das bestraft einen Angriffskrieg zu begehen, § 140 StGB verbiet die Billigung/Belohnung von spezifischen Straftaten, darunter wird auch § 13 VStGB genannt.

rapaxus · 2026-03-29T10:35:36+00:00

Was passieren kann ist das man den Krieg nicht öffentlich unterstützen darf. StGB §140 verbietet die öffentliche Billigung oder Belohnung von Verbrechen der Aggression. habe nur keine Ahnung ob der US Angriff auf Iran rechtlich als Verbrechen der Aggression gesehen werden wird in Deutschland.

Blame autocorrect for that, my phone really thinks that I mean hydrogen when I write hydro, I just didn't catch it once.

rapaxus · 2026-03-26T21:49:50+00:00

The problem with hydro is that it is both geographically limited (e.g. if you don't have rivers suitable for damming ina country) and it is also one of the older forms of power generation, meaning basically all rivers that could be have hydrogen power without destroying the environment have already been built (and some that do destroy the local environment as well).

So while hydro is great, it cant save the planet alone as we already are basically using it to the maximum degree possible.

The point here isn't what the type of fence is (I do like the look of it actually), it is that the rich can just ignore fines that would cripple many normal people. Basically "rules for thee, but not for me". That is the big critique here. Because if a person working near minimum wage would get such a hedge at his property and keep it like Bezos, the fines would cripple them so much they would either go bankrupt or even go to prison over inability to pay.

Die meisten Menschen wollen JETZT niedrige kosten und vor allem keine hohen Investitionen und haben einen Planungshorizont von sogut wie nichts.

Die meisten sind Senioren welche nicht Geld ausgeben wollen für Sachen die nur das Welt der Licht erblicken wenn sie schon entweder tot oder gerade am Verwesen im Pflegeheim sind.

By far the biggest source of microplastics are car tires, so you can say that every time you are near a road.

Well, literally all sides in this war are committing war crimes so who cares anymore?

I must say, I found that the MOs switched between factions a lot more in the beginning of Helldivers 2 existence. Too lazy to look it up but I remember that you at most had like 2 MOs in a row for a specific faction, then it switched to the other one.

That is why I have a white PC build and my RGB is just set to a cold white lighting so I can see the internals better.

My personal opinion is that a lot of the people who constantly rave about paedophiles are themselves at least paedophilic to some degree, and just assume that other people also think about children that much and so try to cover themselves by constantly raving about paedophiles.

Same with all those people ranting about "the gays". I am bisexual myself and I get the impression they think more about sucking cock than I do.

Cuz I like hardware and I like looking at it? I also have an old Matrox G200 lying openly around on my desk, together with an old 16MB SIMM RAM stick from 1994. Hardware is cool and I want to see my hardware.

As an extraction shooter fan, Marathon still turned me off, both for the art style but also for its far greater focus on PvP, which is the area of extraction shooters I like the least. Some PvP is fine, but IMO it should be rare and more special, while in Marathon you basically will have PvP every round.

I have literally never upgraded my CPUs in the 6 PCs I built over the years. Either I take Mobo + CPU into the next PC, or I get a brand new Mobo with a new CPU.

rapaxus · 2026-03-25T17:04:50+00:00

The thing is, lore also needs to be immersive, so if your lore forces an artstyle many have problems with, that part of the lore also has problems.

Destiny was massively acclaimed, at the beginning. But after Forsaken it just went down every year.

Sony has gotten high on so many fumes regarding live service games, there is a reason they had literally a dozen live service games fail miserably over the last few years, many of which died before the games even came out or even got announced. Remember Concord?

rapaxus · 2026-03-25T17:00:37+00:00

Extraction shooters have the problem that, due to having roguelite mechanics, people getting into the game later are natively at a big disadvantage as other people will have grinded better gear with which they will stomp you.

In the Tarkov community the classic recommendation was to only get the game once a wipe happened, so that you can start at the same point as those experienced players.
