Uh funny timing but my desktop has been getting worse and worse recently until it just became unusable. Just opened it up to find that the liquid cooling for the CPU was leaking… I might have been neglecting my PC for a while. hopefully performance will be better once I get this fixed (and cleaned out)

Absolutely insane that it’s running better on my M2 MacBook than my 3070 desktop

Alright, thanks for the clarification! Honestly, I think both terms are misused all the time and I have just stopped caring about it.

Nah, ‘open beta’ was the term for a long time; early access is a newer thing.

To be clear, I don’t think the ruling was that the output is public domain. The ruling was just that it isn’t allowed to be copyrighted

I saw a French guy the other day and thought “this is just like jojo”

I think what it comes down to is how much you enjoy the freedom of the games. A lot of their games kinda just let you loose with a story that you can build over the course of the game, whereas New Vegas has a goal in mind that it is constantly pushing you towards.

Again, I don’t think either preference is better than the other. I just think they are two very different play styles that are suited for different experiences.

It sounds like you’re a fan of Bethesda games so I think this game will definitely be great for you.

Personally, I’ve really struggled to enjoy their games because they just feel a bit shallow for reasons that I can’t explain. They just don’t engage me at all. New Vegas was the only one that I completed and I think that is likely due to a difference in game design that I enjoy more.

I want to like Starfield and I will give it a try when it comes out, but I’m just worried it will leave me with an empty feeling like their other games do.

holy shit is that a jojo reference

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

I actually don’t think this is a good use for NPCs. There’s tons of videos of people just getting them to say the craziest stuff and I don’t think it adds anything to the game.

It remains far better to have a writer carefully constructing the world and the dialogue

You’re right but people are mad because they think you’re defending Apple for some reason.

Oh shit only 7 days until release??? I gotta finish Baldur’s Gate 3 quick

Just some notes about the image viewer:

1. Images are not correctly getting the window size when the window is resizable. It seems to be using the screen width instead

2. Tapping the top of the screen in the image viewer will return to the top of the feed view and you can watch the image viewer swap posts as the current post cache goes to the top!
