“Why is company wasting time on X feature I don’t like instead of Y feature I like”

  • people who’ve never worked on large projects developed by many people before

They can work on multiple things in parallel, and putting more people on project Y doesn’t always mean project Y gets done faster. Also some people do like AI tools and it’s certainly popular right now. Most people have never programmed before and don’t know what Rust is or why it would benefit them to have their browser written in Rust.

You don’t actually need internet for the VR streaming part, so you could just set up a router not plugged into the wall

Strange or different? The trailer makes the movie look like bland cookie-cutter junk. They want to play it safe and hope Jack Black can carry the box office numbers.

I wanna see a modern Zombie movie with how people would actually react to news of a zombie outbreak given how people behaved during the pandemic

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

What I could gather:

  • both items and bro attacks (the bro attacks seem to be short and quick, the items seem to be longer)
  • something about combining basic attacks into “combination attacks” but they didn’t have a clip of this

Idk what’s incomplete about Outlaws I don’t know much about the game.

I bought and enjoyed both NMS and Cyberpunk on release, and they don’t seem to have changed that much since then. My theory for why these games are well-received now is all the haters quit the game near release so now, years later, only the people who originally liked these games are still playing.

What was incomplete about Cyberpunk (besides it not working on older consoles, and having more bugs than I would hope for?)

What was incomplete about NMS (besides lack of multiplayer?)

These are bad examples for two reasons:

  1. Unless a game is sold as “pre-order for open beta access” or the more modern equivalent “early access”, I still expect games to be “complete” in terms of core content on release date. Bug fixes and quality of life changes later are ok, (but it would be nice not to need them) and games that never stop being updated are an exception (e.g. Minecraft).
  2. Neither of those games was really “incomplete” on launch in terms of core features. Cyberpunk had some bad bugs, but the core of its controversy was poor performance on older consoles, which (as I understand it) was never really fixed. No Man’s Sky was missing multiplayer on launch, but the core of its controversy was people didn’t like the core gameplay loop and also didn’t like the randomly generated terrain and creatures. NMS has received a lot of content since then, but it hasn’t really changed its core gameplay loop and has only slightly improved the quality of random generation.

I do think games typically launched with fewer bugs before it was common to be able to patch games over the internet

Yeah the attitude of negativity against this is basically “you aren’t really into my hobby until you’ve spent twice as much money by starting with the crappy equipment and upgrading when you realize its crap”.

It’s actually not really wrong. There are many VR games you can get away with low specs for.

Yes when you suggested a 3070 it just took that and rolled with it.

It’s basically advanced autocomplete, so when you suggest a 3070 it thinks the best answer should probably use a 3070. It’s not good at knowing when to say “no”.

Interesting it did know to come up with a newer AMD card to match the 3070, as well as increasing the other specs to more modern values.
