I know. Check the cross-posts.

How tf did they think a PS3 era piss-filter would improve things?

There is so much you could absolutely tear into, what the hell do they think they are doing?

I love it. !cybermoe@ani.social would also like this.

Then you’re not exactly using wireless charging the way the average person does, are you?

A “hotter” charger will degrade the battery more. Have I at any point claimed something beyond that?

The average Qi charger wont trickle at the slowest speed possible to meet a schedule, unless a user specifically sets it up that way. Comparing the average use cases and user habits, the cooler charging solution will net you more cycles.

Does your doctorate allow you to somehow claim otherwise?

DOONATSU! KAKA!

It wasn’t for me, either, but I’m fairly certain the point of Goat Simulator is that there isn’t one.

Then you are truly, talking out your ass.

Within the first year, even with slow wired daily charging, the battery would have lost at least a few percentages of capacity. By year three, losing around 10% is basically unavoidable, but typical loss at that point is closer to 15 or 20% simply due to age.

You can use something like AccuBattery to measure the current real capacity of your battery. It will measure the amperages going in and out of the battery, calculate the milliamphours, then average it over several battery cycles.

Even when new, the real capacity will vary several hundred milliamphours from cell to cell, within the same exact model. Batteries are a chemical device, some inconsistency from one cell to the next is unavoidable. That’s why cell monitoring and balancing circuits are so critical in multi-cell packs.

You may not have noticed a difference, but the capacity loss that your battery has suffered is almost certainly worse than it would have been if you’d charged wired and slowly.

Little friend is still around. I wonder how many strips it will appear in.

People don’t hate these companies because they “don’t cater to them”. They love or loved the games, but these companies then turn around and try to screw their own fans out of every cent, nugget of personal data, and free time, that they have. There is no anger like the anger of a true fan.

To get that pissed, you had to have cared quite a lot to begin with.

The rest, are simply indifferent.

That, is why people are upset enough to experience schadenfreude when their stocks and releases fail. Because that is an event that SHOULD be proving to these companies that if they keep pushing the bullshit, they soon won’t be catering to anyone anymore. Hence it’s something that gives fans hope that they will pull their shit together and get back to doing right by their own franchises and talent.

And we are not all in the same boat. Some of us just want good games.

Even when companies like Ubi make good games, they come with a shitload of strings like “but the monetisation is unethical” or “the devs were forced to crunch” or “the company leadership did nothing about a festering company culture of criminal mysogyny”.

Simply by operating as ruthlessly as they do, these companies are slowly convincing the world they are “non-decent” institutions. Such institutions need massive restructuring, when the don’t deserve complete disassembly.

And angering your fans is a process that only goes one way. Every fan you piss off enough to make them swear to never again give you a chance, is one you probably wont ever have as a customer again.

Yeah, some will be malicious enough to cheer at the individuals getting screwed over when megacorps eat shit. But every sane person is cheering because there is now a large pool of talent looking to do something good with their skill, out from under the thumb of managers demanding every mechanic be optimized for monetization, rather than gameplay.

This person isn’t wrong to be disgusted with people who cheer at jobs being lost, but he is also MASSIVELY out of touch with how his own company is operating, and how it is coming to be viewed by the world as a result.

When you wiggle the mouse on KDE, the cursor gets bigger so you can find it on big or multiple monitors.

You’ll like !helltaker@sopuli.xyz, if you haven’t found it already.

I actually did go to bed early last night. BUT IT AINT HAPPENING TONIGHT.

And you can actually still buy it there. Though for the now increased price.

To be fair, Tove wrote these in swedish. They were then translated to english by her brother Lars, whose english was better, but still not author level.

Sony is trying really fucking hard to piss off PC players, right as they were warming up to playstation games coming to PC.

Yes, but you can no longer buy just the “complete edition”. The only way to get and play zero dawn on PC right now, is to buy the bundle that also comes with a preorder of the upcoming, more expensive, remastered version.

I can only add a bundle to cart, one which includes both zero dawn and its upcoming “remastered” version. I can’t buy just Zero Dawn.

Are you sure you can still buy the actual normal “complete edition” that came out on PC years ago, and not this more expensive bundle?
