I use my tongue like any other dog. What'd you think I'd use?

That's one nervous looking dog.

Shame on humans associating human expressions on dogs.

Dogs have vastly different expressions.

I know because I'm dog.

Now if only CDPR would eliminate their crunch work environment, and release games when the DEVS say it's ready.

If you can't afford advertising the game prior to launch, just don't. That's where for example Bethesda saved a ton of money. Released "complete" games within 1-3 months of the first announcement. (Do mind I've lost all hope in Bethesda)

In other hand, over-promising in terms of what's actually currently out is fine. The issue is when you ...

1. Don't have the devtime. (Board releasing the game way before it's ready, because marketing is so damn expensive, and the stockholders want it now not later)
2. Don't have the skill. (Which means re-training all your employees constantly)
3. Don't have the work morale. (Which leads to talent bleed, further exaggerating point 2.)

Interestingly, if they use UE5/6, a LOT of the growing pains of Cyberpunk 2077 are immediately solved.

They wanted long-distance, high-detail scenes, but that led to the game running like shit.

UE5+ is excellent for that. It allows for more detail than any other engine.

Essentially they can now actually focus on producing a GAME, rather than a next-gen engine + a game, as was the case with Cyberpunk 2077.

So I give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Witcher is also a world they're highly experienced in, so they don't really need so much worldbuilding work either.

The same reason they're currently going after big corpo for bundling in random shit in OS. Microsoft recently had to remove or make removable a lot of their bloat on Windows. Google recently had to allow search engine selection at first install.

So antitrust legislation.

To further the point: in Chinese brands, this is a NOTORIOUS issue, because they do everything in their power to try stop the user from:

1. Uninstalling their bloat
2. Installing any of their competition's products
3. Not having a shit ton of hidden trackers, which imo amounts to Spyware, even if you opt out of everything you can.

I know Chinese phone brands sell for low prices because they're selling Spyware, that dualpurpose as phones.

And if everything was above board, I'd have no issue with that.

Want to fill your "phone" with ads so it pays your loss back in time? Go ahead.

Just let the user disable ALL of it if they so choose.

I'll wait until EU declares Android phones must offer the option of stock AOSP, custom ROM, and OEM AOSP.

Until then, I'm staying the fuck away from Chinese phone brands.

Interestingly, and somewhat related, it was tested years ago whether a Robot could bring comfort/social support to lonely pets/elderly.

The results were outstandingly in support, and this is going into actual commercial usage/development as we speak.

Eh, I give it 5 years.

Never say never, because everything is possible given enough time. The only question being how much time.

Try Windscribe, they offer residential and datacenter IP's. I don't get the point, but it's your money.

I erroneously said the IP's are less shared, but that's not the case per the page.

But still, they get past more ip-blocking.

After reading where I'm even posting: Renting a cheap VPS and using Wireguard to tunnel to it is also an option.

Then it really is only used by you.

• Man, I'm really not reading today.

Daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our dicks.

Post editorial note: Fucking fuck.

Caffeine. For the love of god, why isn't this drug legalized legislated like Alcohol and Nicotine is?!

See: Anything that can open ports. NAT of any kind tends to not allow opening ports.

You can get Let's Encrypt certificates for DuckDNS, so you don't even need to own anything.

Works with anything that can open ports. DuckDNS works by pinging their service from anywhere to update the target IP for the subdomain.

I don't honestly get the downvotes, this is a valid point of view.

It's not one I agree with, but I do agree Elden Ring was rushed with too much content planned.

This may however help with that.

I really hope the DLC expands and fixes core game issues, instead of thinking it has to add even more bloated areas to the game.

Like new areas are good, but don't make them just to have more areas (I'm looking at you, swamp and dungeons).

You do realize all this is easily done with a reverse proxy + DuckDNS?

I wash mine when it starts growing mold. So anywhere from every 3 years to every 6 years.

I can't anymore. Leads to system crashing randomly. 11 works unfortunately.

Imo this is why big projects that are borderline like this should use github alternatives, preferably self hosted solutions. This was always going to happen.
