  • 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs

    Jump

  • That's just an APU, see consoles and laptops. The unified memory is basically just the above, but Apple also claims that due to Apple Silicon having the storage controller on board, the swap is magically faster 🤷

    Also Mac OS/Linux use less RAM than Windows which certainly helps.

    8GB is "fine™" on a MacBook Air, but it's criminal for a Pro machine, and it certainly should not cost £200 for an extra 8GB. That's genuinely insane pricing

  • It is 100% a joke. Literally other than Windows being slightly more RAM hungry, there's not a huge difference between it and Mac's RAM

  • Whoa, that's like 32GB of Windows RAM. Seems excessive to me tbh

  • Black Myth: Wukong Devs Told Streamers to Avoid Politics in Their Playthroughs. It Backfired

  • Totally agree, I interpret it in the same way as saying that people are blowing/fellating you. Not saying that is/isn't sexist, but it is crude, especially as a public statement from a company. I'm just trying to get the facts straight

  • I can't help but notice that she isn't disagreeing with the translation. Just that the intention is somewhat disguised behind cultural barriers.

    The infamous "I want to expand my circle and hire more people, get licked until can't get an erection." she describes as "crude" meaning it isn't a completely off base translation (which honestly surprised me). It's clear she has a bias, and is upfront about it, so I think she's being more forgiving than a Western audience would be if a Western dev said similarly crude things.

    I think a lot of the context is helpful, particularly about Chinese devs using female players as part of their own marketing. So "pandering to female players" is more directly associated with exploiting female players.

    Clearly the studio has some statements the West would consider iffy, even with cultural context in mind. So the accusations of sexism don't seem as cut and dry as either side is making it out to be

  • I know you peeps probably didn't mean it this way, but men fall victim to the same psychological traps women do. It's not that easy to just leave a bad relationship, especially if you don't have the expectations and tools required to identify what's not normal

  • Nearly 90% Of Developers Surveyed Say Premium Games Don't Need Microtransactions

    Jump

  • Assassin's Creed is the best example I can think of. It added a store to literally buy gear. Also see like every MMO. This one is more of a reach, but I'd also say something like Hunt: Showdown falls victim to this, as it would be awesome if you could see a hunter and know their "power level" by the cosmetics.

    Horizon, both ZD and FW, are a modern example of having gear progression that exists and isn't ruined by microtransactions

  • I feel like gear progression is massively underrated. I love to dress up with my muscley rpg man, and make him look cooler and more awesome as he gets stronger. I don't want the best cosmetics locked behind a paywall. In MMOs it also just murders any respect/cred you get from having awesome gear that needed you to clear an epic raid or similar.

    I get the whole cosmetics thing for "free to pay" e-sport-esc games though, where there's not really any gear progression

  • A surprising number of 'iPad Kids' are on X, study finds

  • Well, your comment was generic of all ages. Not saying something along the lines of "16 year olds are intelligent enough to vote", which I would agree with.

    We can just just lower the 18 to 16 and resume the same conversation. No need to be condescending, you're turning a misunderstanding into a disagreement

  • You're kinda right, but the law at least in the UK still has no fault evictions, and the legislation proposed to get around that doesn't penalise made/bad "faults". Same with jobs, it's easy enough to manufacture an excuse

  • As someone else who has never owned an Apple device, only watched other people using them. What the fuck are you on about?

    Are you seriously complaining about people complaining that Google's main rival seems to be immune from the same punishments, despite the fact that they, as you have said, are the most draconian and locked down system? Do you not see why this might be a relevant problem that Apple is just immune to legal repercussions because "lmao they've always been evil 🙈"?

  • She wanted a divorce so her father hacked her legs with an axe: how Pakistan fails women

  • I think you're taking it too literally, the books have many statements that are contradictory. It's about the general message. In general, the bible is very pro-children, it has passages where God literally tells people he made them in the womb himself. And funnily enough, modern highly Christian nations have these ideals, and takes them to extremes.

    The Qur'an has a lot of violent punishment, which is then in a lot of cases moderated in modern Islamic countries. Saudi Arabia for example, may only cut off one hand for thievery, or none if the crime is light enough. It sets precedent and normalises these actions

  • Yes, but there are multiple references to cutting off hands/feet. It's hardly setting a good example.
