What percentage of PC players care about couch co-op?

It’s rated M

It’s a great example. Starfield (like other BGS games) does a lot of things well that few other games do at all. So it’s frustrating when they put out a game that is pretty mediocre outside those few strengths, and also your only real option for scratching those particular itches.

There is a Star Trek app that plays SBS 3D videos, so it’s only a matter of time before someone puts out a dedicated app for it.

This proprietary tool can already convert SBS to MV-HEVC. I imagine we will see support come to ffmpeg and/or x265 in the next year or so, if it’s not already being worked on. MV-HEVC is very similar to the MVC extension to AVC that was used for 3D blu-rays, so it’s not particularly exotic.

If you read the article, this has nothing to do with porn.

The built-in video player doesn't support SBS 3D video, but third party apps do.

The built-in video player doesn't support side-by-side stereoscopic video formats. The title of the article should state that the AVP does not play certain 3D video formats out of the box, making the story about porn is just a weird pivot to generate clicks.

However there is already at least one third party app that plays SBS video just fine. You can also convert SBS video to MV-HEVC, which is arguably a better 3D format, and use the built-in player.

A lot of cheap kitchen scales are also just crap. Talk to your local drug dealer about what brand of scale might be right for you.

I rented PotC from blockbuster once and all i remember are insane loading times and super janky combat

The thing that impresses me so much about Green Day is that they peaked, had the usual big falloff in quality a few albums later, then they peaked again about a decade after Dookie. I can't think of any other band that managed to do this off the top of my head.

Easier, yes. But nowhere near as much fun.

Food, especially fresh food, used to be a lot more expensive when adjusting for inflation. A canned chicken like this doesn't look super appetizing right out of the can, but it probably tasted OK after you shredded it and put it in a casserole. And it was significantly cheaper than buying a fresh whole roasted chicken, assuming you lived somewhere that fresh whole roasted chickens were even readily available. Food like this became particularly popular during the great depression, and stuck around for decades afterwards.

Nowadays, between industrialized farming, highly optimized supply chains, and a buttload of government subsidy, fresh food is comparatively cheap. You can get a whole roasted chicken right off the spit for $5-10 at just about any grocery store. So for most people the value proposition of a $3 canned chicken isn't really there anymore, especially if you don't have an enormous baby-boom-era sized family to feed.

"Arithmancy" is their name for math classes and is mentioned several times throughout the books. It is one of Hermione's favorite subjects.

At one point, the real world evil witch that is JK Rowling suggested that Arithmancy is like dviniation, but with math, saying they use numbers to predict the future. I take this to mean that the wizarding community discovered calculus independently from the rest of the world and mistook it for a new form of magic.

"Arithmancy" is what they call their math disciplines and it's mentioned a fair bit in the books, though understandably never really shown in the movies.

Right, but ultimately their complaint is that a game has actions bound to a scroll wheel and they could simply rebind those actions to something else.

Though the complaint does become legitimate if they are playing one of the handful of poor PC ports out there that lacks key remapping (coughtransformerswarforcybertroncough)

That's like using a Dvorak keyboard and complaining that games default to WASD bindings. This is the exact reason why key remapping is a standard feature on PC games but not on consoles

They're also SOOOO HEAVY, though maybe I've been spoiled by my G Pro Superlight.

there were still some industries not already ruined by millennials?

If there’s one thing i’ve noticed about lemmy it’s that people here really like finding things to complain about

Just move to an alternate reality where you never bought the timeshare to begin with.

Was the original release in a poor state?
