First one was the same 30 minutes on repeat. Same guns, same enemies, same environment, same everything. It was amazing just how little variety and content was in that thing.
I was ignoring the sequel even before all this BS.
Epic has launched a more successful PR campaign against Steam, they were able to get some blood in the water where EA was not.
Also, strictly from a public perception perspective(alliteration win!), Epic at the end of the day made its bones with Unreal with roots in PC Gaming and EA is of...
I understand that, though I wouldn't go as far as to call them a Monopoly(there is significantly more stores than Epic, many quoted in this thread). It's just irrelevant. It's 70/30 now, did it used to be more in line with Epic? Or was it 70/30 back when Steam was getting credit for sparking...
It's less having to install multiple clients and more having to manage multiple game libraries in disparate locations, all of which may have significant dollars invested in them. It's the downside of digital distribution I suppose. Origin, Steam, Epic, Microsoft, Battle.net. Each one has...
I very specifically remember how proud your Dad was of you, the light shined through all the posts he spoke of you. He was a great guy, a pioneer, a leader and unique person. All this is especially more apparent in hindsight, as the net has changed and I've matured.
I was a little...
Also, Shield's great, I have one so I could play Atmos audio(no one else had an offering). I just consider it extremely expensive for what it does and wasn't pleased that I couldn't' find a cheaper alternative. Basically paying $150 above a Roku/Fire/Chrome/whatever for Atmos and ability to...
I bought one for $2.50 when it was on sale, very happy I got it and I use it all the time. Generally I'm playing with my wife, I'm in the decked out home theater and she's streaming off my office PC to our relatively decked out living room.
I always wanted one, but couldn't justify the $50...
This. Obviously he's damned good, but for the most part he puts himself in a situation where he only needs to aim horizontally, he always snaps back and keeps the crosshair at head level. I used to read about people putting tape on their monitor to designate the height where the heads are at...
Answer to this question has been provided rather in depth in this thread. In short, Notes is more than just a messaging system and generally has a significant amount of custom code written for it, there is no clear cut product replacement and even once identified there is a significant...
Having run a professional services team for a consulting company, I can confidently say this is not correct. But there are a lot of factors. Hourly or fixed pricing, full time or contracting. Benefits. Your ability and willingness to negotiate, your skillset, customers budget, customers...
I'm sure people maintaining the software do not want to change ever, what job security. But if you have a 1 out of a 100 skillset while the 99 out of a 100 would get the job done. Sorry, keep your skills up to date and deal with the change.
Not even getting into your apparent...
So 90 bucks an hour for archaic skills? I sell those for 250, sounds like a bargain.
Yes, of course they should be planning the move off Lotus, but some people in the thread seem to be under the idea that this just means standing up a new empty solution.
Instead of, you know, what is likely a...
Google has long since exited the aggressive cornering the market phase and entered protection mode. So maybe quieter, but no less dominant. They just want to protect the status quo.
Amazon took over the distribution market, but there's very little profit there, it does however position them...
As someone who sells networking equipment that competes with Cisco, I don't think they are shaking in their boots. People buy Cisco because they are infatuated with the brand or they are the safe choice that won't be questioned if something goes wrong. There's been cheaper alternatives that are...
I'm actually surprised how slowly game storage requirements have risen the past few years. While 100gb is a lot relative to other games, I believe storage prices have been dropping significantly faster than the gaming requirements have been rising.
Good shock number I suppose, but in reality...
I didn't realize people were doubting this game. These guys made the Witcher series, including one of the best games ever made in Witcher 3. Not to mention the Blood and Wine DLC, which by itself would be a Game of the Year contender.
Now these guys are working on a game set in a Cyberpunk...
PIA, tested a few times in court now, passed each time. Latest:

Not bulletproof, but good enough for me to stay with them.
Granted it's a fuzzy line, but I think people here are confusing graphic pornography with nudity or a little skin.
This seems to be about selling a censored game and then releasing a patch to show some 15 year old with massive tits take a 20 inch dick. Not some softcore thing like Witcher or...
Guess I'm not sure of your point. Maybe it deserves a big "no shit"? Amazon, as a for profit company, did the math and knows they will make money. They lay out there what you get for $120 and by and large meet or exceed those expectations. You can then make the decision to pay $120, not pay...
And of course if you are judging prime based on your ability to buy a few big ticket tech items every year, yeah, don't use prime. Waiting more than 2 days is probably not that big of a deal to you and finding the absolute lowest price is.
However if you get dog food, baby formula, diapers...
Unlike the cable company you can get all of Amazon's services and products from numerous competitors. Unlike the cable company, Amazon understands they need to provide value and customer satisfaction or they will lose customers altogether, not just for prime.
So stop.
Since I've had my kid I've shifted over almost all my household and baby items to Amazon's subscription service, which gives 10% to 20% off all items which were already priced low. It saves me $200+ a month over going to the super market. Don't love the hike, but still nothing compared to the...
I don't quite understand why all these recent Facebook stories are news to anyone. I honestly thought this was all common knowledge, guess not.
Love them or hate them, this smells of a corporate smear campaign.
Nest as hardware devices are great, but they don't play well outside the Nest ecosystem.
I have them running with SmartThings with a custom device handler and app(protects and thermostats) . All intelligence for thermostats is handled 100% through webcore in smartthings and is completely...
From everything I've read in this thread, Kodi is significantly more complex than Plex. Plex just works out of the box, hardest part is the remote access, but that's just some port forwarding on the firewall. You can of course run Plex on the server and Kodi client side. Simply being an added...
The player base is just really shitty. It's no where near as bad as whiners would lead you to believe. Also some people are just more prone to falsely yell cheater, PUBG by its nature likely draws this out of people. It certainly can be frustrating playing a round for 20 minutes only to get one...
I think it's pretty clear they are not going to investigate 1-off reports. If there's high trend of reports against a single player, that will be checked out. Like every other game with any type of reporting feature.
Christ, can't please some people.
So you truly can't see how an average end user would find a GUI more intuitive than searching for a conf file located in a gobbly gook meaningless path(again we aren't talking about Hard users) and modifying or entering additional lines with syntax that can only be gleaned by a Google search...
Right, you tell someone in accounting that. Which is representative of the target demographic of this discussion. No one is saying Linux sucks, we are saying it sucks for non techies.
How are you people really this dense?
Every year I try the latest Linux distribution that is the new hotness for mainstream use. They all inevitably have you dropping to a command line to do simple shit and running through dependency chains.
Linux is a good OS, those that know it and use it, great, good for you. I completely...
