I love seeing these comments that completely ignore the southern hemisphere

“More reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi”

I didn’t know we even had reasons to avoid it

CS GO (now CS 2) has constantly been on the top 5 most played steam games globally for a decade now, so yeah, I think people are still playing this game.

Affinity Photo is $60 once and you own it forever, with free updates. It's pretty much the only actually good Photoshop replacement.

The contract wasn't terminated, it was expired. They signed a contract with an end date, the end date was met, the contract wasn't signed again. Termination would be if the contract was abruptly ended before the expiration date, which was not the case.

This one really got a laugh out of me

Watch out mate, you’re going to bring out the deniers

Simple and effective, looks pretty good

Pretty much. Their benchmarks seem to be VERY cherry picked to skew things in their favour, specially the testing framework part, where bun compares its speed to one of the slowest testing frameworks out there (jest) and claim victory.

I’m very glad that this guy actually made benchmarks instead of just reading what’s on bun’s site before posting a video about it.

I don’t understand it either.

I’ve only had issues with npm speeds when the projects were stored in a HDD, and that’s not node’s fault.

So the only thing that has changed is that you don’t have to pay for the “barely working” framework

Because those phones don’t sell. People that want small phones are generally a small group of tech enthusiasts, and those are not nearly enough to drive companies to design smaller phones

“A little jarring” is being very generous. For me, Skyrim’s map is one of the worst maps I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Skyrim is a grey game with grey landscape, and the map really emphasizes how grey everything is: grey land with grey icons on top and grey clouds covering most of the landscape (such a great idea). I don’t mind that the map is 3D, but the camera angle limits is what pisses me off, they seem to choose the worst possible angles to showcase the map. There are no road markings whatsoever, and the LOD is so low that you can barely make out any feature on the map (considering you’re lucky to find a patch in the map that isn’t covered by the grey clouds).

I know that Fallout’s maps are bad as well, you can barely see shit in them except for the markers, but at least it’s in theme with the game, so it gets a pass. Starfield’s is in theme and is pretty much like the Fallout maps, but the fact that there’s literally no other features make it terrible as well, but I much rather have a completely blue screen with some markers spread around than trying to navigate Skyrim’s map.

Oblivion’s where it’s at. They should have expanded on what they did there: simple 2D maps that are in theme with the game, clearly depicting main roads and some minor paths and simple depictions of the main cities’ walls.

But they are, and they all have drift problems.

The quick, easy and convenient solution is moving to Hall effect sticks.

That’s the engine in which Creation Engine was based on, so what? Saying that name won’t somehow invalidate everything that was developed using the two engines or accomplish anything really. By your logic, we should call Source 2 engine the Quake engine

Gamers will never be mature or have realistic expectations. They cannot fathom that people are enjoying a thing they don’t like, and they’re very vocal about it, it’s petty, really.

I try to move myself off of these discussions but there’s always one comment that drags me down the well because it’s so blatantly untrue, but it’s miserable. Lemmy, kbin and Reddit are overly negative places where it seems the goal is to get everyone mad with terrible takes.

People need to remember that opinions aren’t factsz and learn to shut the fuck up and let people enjoy things.

I’ve had not a single crash so far and most of my frame dipping issues (from 60 to 40) were solved by lowering the shadows to medium. The only bugs I had were ships spawning in other ships so they spaz out, but that’s very rare. On the other hand, Baldurs Gate 3 would constantly drop to 10 FPS and I had severe bugs that locked me out of entire questlines.

But I guess I’m not allowed to enjoy games and have fun because gamebryo = bad

Exactly, people forget that most of the well known engines today are as old or older than Creation Engine, they’re all patched/upgraded as it fits, though Creation Engine has no apparent version numbers and it’s made by Bethesda so you get free internet points and a feeling of superiority for hating on the popular thing.

If you took these folks opinions as truth you’d think Bethesda games are massive flops that barely sell 10 copies and are a study case on how not to develop a game, but the real world is very different from the echo chamber…

Ony 3080 with a 5900x I’m constantly getting 60fps at 1080p (unfortunately for now that’s the only screen I have), meanwhile BG3 would dip to low 10s after a few minutes of playing every time

EDIT: I would also like to add that I didn’t use DLSS or FSR in both games, since my hardware is more than capable of running both on maximum quality at 60fps 1080p.
