Can I ask why are you so attached to your message history? I recently lost my entire WhatsApp history and it hasn’t made any difference in my life to be honest.
I’m assuming PC gamers generally understand the required specs. If that is not the case, then that explains why every single AAA release has the same complaint without fail.
It ran well on all the new consoles and the newer hardware at the time. The game was simply badly optimized for older hardware which most people had at the time because there was a hardware shortage
It was a rhetorical question and was referring to the case of a broken physical item. Not to the game. The bad reviews make sense, I was just trying to describe the vibes and why people might call it review bombing
I don’t usually expect absolutely no glitches on my open world games so for me that’s basically perfect. I did grow up playing hundreds of hours into an unpatched Xbox 360 version of oblivion so maybe I have more tolerance than most to minor shit like that. It didn’t even affect gameplay, it was just floating objects
On the Series X? Absolutely it did. I had some glitches with objects floating in cutscenes and that one cyber implant that didn’t work. Put 90 hours in.
I agree, I’m just saying that the “vibes” of it are like that of giving a 1 star to an item that arrived broken, which is why people will call it review bombing etc.
The problem is that giving a bad review for performance is kind of (not exactly) like giving bad reviews to something that arrives broken. You never even used the thing how can you give it a 1 if you objectively cannot judge the items on its merits? Likewise you’re not judging the game itself but rather the fact that it does not run well on your hardware. Obviously the developers have responsibility for this, but if you’re a console player or have good hardware the criticism might not sound like a legitimate assessment of the game on its merits.
Why do people bother with PC gaming again?
Never had a poorly performing game on my Series X. Even Cyberpunk 2077 ran perfectly on launch, I only experienced few minor graphical glitches once in a conversation with an NPC.
Are you not aware that poor people have smartphones these days? Back in my day being poor meant having absolutely nothing. I say we take their phones away and their shoes too for good measure. That way they’ll know what true poverty is like /s
That was what Trump campaigned on wasn’t it? So contrary to democrats who usually don’t deliver in their promises Trump can at least says that he tries damn hard to deliver on his promises.
I know this will be conflated to me being supportive of what he does. So let me clarify that I’m not endorsing it, I’m just stating the fact that Trump goes so far as to break the law in order to deliver his promises, while democrats work really hard to maintain the status quo even while having legal and political power to make real change. This is part of his appeal, a detail which should not be lost on democrats.
Well to be fair they also know democrats only say they will fix the issue and then immediately do the same things the republicans do because they just cannot do without that sweet corporate cheddar.
I figure their logic is that at least the republicans are honest about it.
Ah good point. I can see that now. Well no I don’t hold that view.
To explain myself I’m very critical of current progressive “orthodoxy” because it tries to pass itself as populist when it is in fact technocratic. The end result is that it looks like a very dishonest movement. My view is that the progressive movement needs to come to terms with the fact that it is technocratic, and that it cannot ever be populist if it retains its current ideology. This also means it won’t win elections in the near future.
On the other hand if it wants to win elections it needs to become more of a socialist workers movement but that will mean compromise in the trans right movement because the vast majority of transphobic people are of the working class.
Absolutely not. Did I say I thought thought that trans people should be excluded from bathrooms? Or did I say that the working class doesn’t like when trans people use their bathrooms?
Most body pain is a symptom of weak muscles, especially back pain. Lift weights and you’ll have even more pain temporarily and then no pain at all.
