  • They probably are. But, this problem is also much larger for them than for other players. Oneplus is estimated to have sold 10 million phones over a one year. Samsung sold 4 times that number of s24 alone. If the suppliers can't provide that level of manufacturing then they have to build the supply chain themselves, and that takes a lot of time, R&D and money.

  • I find it funny, because it is not required at all. You could be the most casual lazy ass gamer, and still see and accomplish every piece of content inside the game. The game doesn't penalize you, and instead goes out of the way to reward the player for everything they do, even if it is just loitering around and barely progressing stuff at random and by chance.

  • Then you don't engage with over 60% of the game anyways. Sounds to me like a balanced game that has something to offer to a variety of players, and anxieties, overfixation and stress with some gameplay and not other seems to be something the player brings in and is not caused by the game.

  • You don't find out what that means unless you made it to year two and it immediately tells you that you can keep trying anytime you want.

    It's not a one and done, you can literally retry the test infinitely. There is no crunch period at all, this anxiety comes from players misunderstanding things the game says in plain English.

  • Some people have a money anxiety built in that translates into the game. The funny thing is they bring it all themselves, the game makes absolutely no fuzz at all about making money.

    The very first scene is the main character running away from the ratrace to a farm. Yet the very first thing some players do is bring in the ratrace with them. Everything in the game makes money and no money at all is ever required by the game from the player, except to advance the farming itself. It doesn't even have banks or debts like animal crossing.

    It's bizarre how people, when left to their own devices, simply reproduce the worse habits of real life.

  • It is also controversial because sexual arousal is far from the only reason men have erections.

    This study is an example, there's an alternate interpretation that affirms homophobia is actually the result of repressed sexuality, in general. Thus any sexual stimuli would be arousing. Thus causing an erection, regardless of the gender displayed, and irrespective of the person's sexual orientation.

    This tracks with the fact that almost all homophobes are politically conservative, tend to be highly religious, or are very young and immature. They all coincide with environments prone to sexual repression.

    The other variation is that anger also causes arousing.

    This study was too small to control for those kind of factors.

  • What else do you need?

    You install, log into steam and play games. The age of modpatching custom kernels for low latency or hardware hacks is gone. The kernel already das what it takes to outperform windows on gaming. It's all on the user space now to bring convenience and ease of use.

    The package distribution model was never popular with users. It was perfect for sys admins. But people don't want to manage a system, they want to use their device. Image based containerized OS and software distribution makes more sense for end users who have no interest on troubleshooting a pacbage dependency conflict.

  • Deltarune didn't exist yet. It's an undertale ripoff.

    Which is very telling, tobyfox released a whole game on his own. While this " I worked at blizzard, BTW" tool hasn't with an (allegedly) entire company around him. He's a grifter, he scams people around him to profit off of other's work. That's all he does.

  • It's all up to where you live and how you use the phone.

    One day heavy usage is the goal. I charge my S24 to 80% but only lightly call, and moderate chatting. I can make it from 6am to 8pm and still have well over 25% when I get home. Little to no gaming or social networks though.

    It helps that I live and work in an urban area with good antenna coverage. So the phone doesn't use too much power talking to the network. People who live out in suburbs and rural areas have worse phone battery life because the phone has to struggle talking with antennas further away. Battery life is complex and it goes beyond what personal anecdotes can show.

  • The worst part is that this are far from the only two events. He has been kicked from several other guilds, for exactly the same narcissistic and egoistic behavior. If everywhere you go it smells like shit, at some point you have to start checking your own shoes. He is just always adamant that it's other people's fault that it smells like shit, when he has full diaper.

  • Tho relationship of nautical miles and knots for speed is really good for navigating over a sphere. There are some handy shortcuts that make quick mental calculations fast and intuitive, specially with an e6b flight computer (not an electronic).

    The alternative would've been to use euclidean planes, projections and radian transformations, which would've been harder to use for navigating.

  • Some of those can be explained by bad expectations.

    Frostpunk is not a city builder, more like a puzzle game.

    Outer wilds is not a space game, it's a time loop mystery.

    Fantasy sword and sorcery is hardly the most important side of souls games. They're technical performance games.

    They all technically include those elements you like, but were more about something else.

  • There are very few hard set laws in psychology. That said, OP is wrong. There is not a study contradicting each other study. The problem is that human behavior is not very deterministic, save for a few subset of conditions and behaviors.

    Psychology did have a reproducibility and p level crisis. However, in my opinion this was the result of external political and financial pressures over universities and research institutions. Which deviated and forced theoretical analysis and statistical experimental designs that were not suited for psychological research. Researchers were forced to design and construct studies in ways that ensured publishing, grants and finance. Instead of good theory and science.

    The second factor is bad science communication. Psychology is a field were everyone feels entitled to talk with authority because it is about the human existence, and we are all human after all, no? However this leads to a high degree of disinformation that makes it hard to separate science from opinion, and often times political agendas too. This of course makes it seem like psychology as a science is less reliable than it is. Because it gets mixed in the same bag as pseudoscientific slop.

    When you sift through the misinformation and read hard psychology science, then you notice a third thing. A lot of the hard science is on neurological functional psychology. Which is dry and not very interesting to sell in blogs, tweets, and reels. And the softer, social science side, that is virtually ignored by media, because it tends to reflect that capitalism and western civilization is destroying mental health. So there's no interest to promote that idea or to acknowledge that, we know how to fix a lot of problems. But it requires dismantling a lot of power structures.
