Most other games will just say something like:
“Some changes require a restart to take effect”
Maybe B4 tried something new where instead of a 2 minute restart, it fucks up your game for up to 15 minutes?
Like, shit is unusual, but I don’t have the game, I’m just going off what I see in articles.
They’re hoping people will get sucked into the game, and stop caring the graphics suck.
If you jump straight from an optimized game to B4, it’s going to suck. They want you to keep playing till your brain adjusts.
But if you’re coming out of 120fps twitch shooter…
It’s gonna take a lot longer than 15 minutes to get used to AI upscaled fake frame 60fps instead
Gearbox has also issued a piece of advice to PC gamers that to me reads like an effort to prevent players from making knee-jerk reactions to the game’s performance as soon as they’ve changed their settings: “Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC’s performance has changed.”
Pretty sure if that’s really happening, it’s a unique problem
Maybe if you’re changing just resolution, but for 99% of setting changes it has nothing to do with shaders.
That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.
The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.
But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.
Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.
The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money
Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.
It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations
Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless
But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.
When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.
Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.
He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.
There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
Americans graduate from 12th at 17/18
So I think I’d have been 12, and it was a public generic school
And if that sounds too early, hunting season started like a week earlier than the class and another 12 year old in my class already had his license (lots did) but that kid climbed a fence with a loaded shotgun while hunting and blew off a couple of his toes.
So like, it’s hard to argue it was “too early” because the kids were already running around unsupervised with guns.
Before Columbine people would go hunting before school and if they didn’t get anything they’d come straight to school with their gun in the back window of their truck. After they just stopped leaving them clearly visible.
since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns
What?
I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting with a gun after.
A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.
Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.
But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.
so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?
So yeah, pretty much.
What an idiot…
He just insulted all his customers and put “/sarcasm” at the end more like a “just a joke bro” instead of any actual sarcasm.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state
He was one of the only MAGA that wasn’t letting Epstein go, and he was all about everyone having guns
trump desperately wants people to stop talking about Epstein. And has always hated regular people being able to have guns.
I don’t think a cop accidentally shot him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump had him shot.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state within 24 hours
That’s not how you handle an investigation…
Saints was just a way to appeal to polytheists back when everyone hadnt moved on from multiple gods.
That fertility goddess? She was a person, and now she’s a saint and a road to jeebus. Some chief whose corpse you’ve been carrying around for 100 years? Perfectly cool, lots of Christian churches did the same thing.
Especially for Catholics, praying to a saint is like calling God’s secretary, that’s why they all have their own fields like “gaming”.
Locals got a way to continue existing rites and festivals, the local leader got to tell the church they were converted, and no invasion “had” to happen.
It was the franchizification of millennia old religions that are practically extinct today.
As artificial general intelligence (AGI) approaches and machines match or surpass human-level thinking, he believes AIs will be smarter than humans in ways that let them push our buttons, make us feel things, change our behavior, and do it better than even the most persuasive human being.
"These [AI] things are going to end up knowing a lot more than us. They already know a lot more than us, being more intelligent than us in the sense that if you had a debate with them about anything, you’d lose,” Hinton warned in a recent interview shared on Reddit. “Being smarter emotionally than us, which they will be, they’ll be better at emotionally manipulating people.”
I mean. Yeah…
But that’s not emotional intelligence, it’s the same thing any social media algorithm does.
Some people like ragebait, others want cute puppies. It’s just a feedback, whatever content gets the user to engage is what the user gets shown. There’s an emotional comment for the human reaction, but the algorithm is just going off trial and error, same thing AI would do.
The real problem is how much people are tracked and if/when it becomes normal for an AI to “look up” a user thru those trackers. Imagine every time you get a customer support bot, it knows your entire internet footprint including every interaction you’ve had with any other chatbot.
Get drunk and yell at an AI Taxi, and suddenly you could be blacklisted as a “bad customer” by everything else.
Like in Hot Tub Time machine 2:
Minimum terms before sale and preventing use as collateral on loans are two very simple pieces of legislation that would make a huge difference in wealth inequality.
Why would it be a physical impossibility? Doesn’t seem to be for me
…
For most men non-toxic men are not available for friendships
You’re openly contradicting yourself over and over and just insisting the majority of men are shit
Have fun with that I guess
a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people
It’s not arbitrary.
And the reason it’s so much worse now is the distribution.
If one family owned a company, they’d value long term brand loyalty over quarterly profits.
With a corporate board, they all own a piece that’s easily sold, and a whole bunch of other people who don’t have “enough” already. There’s no focus on long term company health, just that the percent return increases.
That’s just not sustainable.
So large corps but up companies, run them into the ground, then sell them off. Often replacing with shitty knockoff quality products under the same brand.
A private owner can be satisfied, a board will always demand the numbers go up.
You’re acting like it’s a physical impossibility…
I played sports thru college and then joined the military, me and my friends from those periods hug when we see each other.
Nothing weird about it.
There are men who are too insecure to hug other men, which is what you replied to:
Sounds like you need better friends.
Men secure in their own masculinity don’t have any problems hugging other men. And insecure men likely have toxic traits that make them bad friends.
We’re already 70% water, what’s another 30%?
They absolutely think they are doing good…
Pretty unanimously, the most evil people to walk the planet all legitimately believe they’re the good guys.
Almost no one sees themselves as a villain, that’s just how the human brain is wired.
People not understanding this, is why evil shit keeps fucking happening.
If you just keep writing them off as “villains” doing evil for the sake of evil, we’ll never learn how to stop it. That literally why they keep coming back.
