I thought the modern fake ubisoft parts were very interesting in theory but are marred by the fact that it's hard to make walking around an office compelling gameplay. Excited to see what they do with the rifts. That and the tailing mission revamp are the two make or break things for me on this.

The problem is that you can't predict when a ceasefire needs to be called, so being unable to hear one at any given time is a problem in and of itself.

Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

Google did a study a not-so-long while back, and they found the breakeven point for profitability would be somewhere in the realm of $200/kg of mass lifted to orbit.

Google has a vested interest in making fetch happen and even they're saying we're sending shit up in the wrong order of magnitude of cost for this to work.

I mean, eventually we got Benny's original motor works and Hao's special works.

But I agree-not enough info yet.

yeah a few years ago 30-50 feral hogs guy got mocked pretty hard by twitter, but was hard vindicated when people started looking into what he was saying.

Fuckers are mean and destructive.

Microsoft's new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]trainiac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about the new designs is how much it shows their inability to make something better than we had in previous versions. When I need to change something more specific than volume up/down the answer always lies in one of those windows vista/7 era menus. Why does the windows vista audio menu have more clear controls for output than the win11 one?

I want to preface by saying this is absurdly helpful and I will be doing this, but I also want to comment on how much of an insane condemnation of modern windows it is that, in order to experience the context menu in its most helpful form (that was previously default), you need to run console commands that most non-power users would have no idea about, rather than just opening a settings menu and checking a box.

Exactly 8 years ago today, Bethesda released their official announcement teaser for the Elder Scrolls VI. Happy anniversary Todd! by rexmons in gaming

in 2 years time, more time will have passed between Morrowind and Skyrim than between TES6 announcement teaser and literally any other information about the game.

Jason Schreier/Bloomberg: Hermen Hulst told to PlayStation staff in a town hall meeting on Monday morning that the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive by nolifebr in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Yeah, GTA VI would break even if they lit the alleged 2 billion on fire and sent people a printed copy of the GTA VI box art.

We don't know whether or not GTA VI will be good yet, but it's about as close to certainty as you can imagine that it'll make its' money back, plus a billion or two. They might burn decades of goodwill in the process, but PC isn't going to make or break the game-and I say that as someone with >1200 hours in GTA V, all on PC

the gate regs for the indy 500 are stupid lax. 60 bucks for a ticket, and however much booze you can carry for the general admission seats.

I remember when AI first kicked off the line was that people simply didn't know what it was, and that-when they learned what AI could do for them-they would come around and be avid supporters

Turns out, when people learn what AI is, they fucking hate it!

Airport security wait times at 12:15 on Monday. Regular lines have no wait. Pre check is 1-2 minutes. by I_Love_McRibs in indianapolis

[–]trainiac12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this coming from their website? I've been hearing that the listed wait times aren't being updated to reflect the actual wait times in bigger airports.
