I know, I know. It’s not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I’ll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I’ve tried W3 so many times but I just can’t get into it.

I see. Well, I guess I’ll see you in 2 years then when they inevitably pull off another swap and move all resources from SC back onto SQ42, and use that as an excuse, yet again, for why significant progress isn’t happening now, but soon in the near-future.

I’ll even mark my calendar 😉

It’s as if the person read a parable about the Hindenburg disaster and took from it the idea that hydrogen should be the only gas used for balloons.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts’ history of being deceptive?

I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn’t all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

Why would you suddenly “prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC” if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

“(On SQ42) …but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha … and then Beta.” - Chris Roberts, 2018

Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both “feature complete” and “content complete” come before both “alpha” and “beta”.

There might even be a “delta” and “gamma” - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

I was afraid that’s what it meant. I haven’t done Emag calculations since college but I feel like induction would only work at extremely close distances (as in centimeters) if at all, right?

All those induction experiments have multiple loops, tightly around the passing magnet for a reason since changes in the current is directly proportional to changes in the magnetic flux density (and only the ones normal to the surface area created by a closed loop).

And the closed loop created by the speaker and its source is a really irregular shape, designed to have a small cross-sectional area anyway. It all sounds kind of fishy.

Wait… Am I missing something here? I don’t understand why a 10kHz wave would do anything to a pair of speakers at a distance.

Unless the speakers are actively playing the output of a radio themselves, it’s not like 10kHz waves will randomly affect the membrane of an electrostatic speaker. The membrane vibrates by an electric signal, not by EM radiation.

Even then, I feel like radios don’t just output whatever their antenna picks up raw. The electronics in radios tune to specific frequency bands and decode the underlying signal by means of FM or AM, and it is that underlying signal that gets played by the speakers.

So even a stronger encoded signal doesn’t necessarily mean louder speaker volume. It would just mean a clearer, less-noisy song.

Definitely! I truly believe Elden Ring is accessible, it’s just not immediately clear how.

May I offer some unsolicited advice.

1. Your damage output is as important if not more important than “getting gud”. The more damage you do, the fewer attacks you have to dodge. That’s kind of the secret to all these Souls games.

2. Damage output and damage mitigation come from stacking many small, incremental bonuses. The most important upgrade for damage output is upgrading your weapon with ores. Pick one weapon (eg. Longsword) and invest all ores into it. Any weapon is viable for the whole game as long as you upgrade it. Don’t be afraid to commit ores into your chosen weapon as you will eventually have an unlimited supply.

3. It’s possible to suicide-run into dangerous areas for powerful items since you don’t lose items upon death. You can collect mid and high-tier ores this way even at low level.

4. It’s perfectly okay to farm exp from higher level, non-bosses. It’s low risk since you’ll be near a rest site. A good example is killing Vulgar Militiamen from the Farum Greatbridge site in the most northeast area of Caelid. You can horse yourself there ignoring everything. There are plenty of ideal spots that people have found, just look them up.

5. If you’re still having trouble, do each step in the following video as you see fit. Notice that most of these improvements are obtained by acquiring items, and not obtained by leveling up. https://youtu.be/GYI5Z3jhKB4

I mean many on the right truly want a homogeneous race of citizens. That’s not mutually exclusive with cheap, undereducated labor.

Eff that. After getting the Steam Deck I am officially done with hacking and jailbreaking all these handhelds. No more worrying about firmware versions and the security arms racing.
