  • (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

    Jump

  • Through "no fault" of the company and years after the purchase.

    Its not the companies fault he couldnt be assed to :

    1. Diversify his email addresses in the 1st place
    2. Update his email address.

    When you put all your eggs in one basket, you've really got no one else to blame when you then decide to throw the basket away.

  • Firefighters tackling wildfire in US arrested by immigration agents

  • Ehhhh slow your role there a bit

    For the most part yeah firefighters are a good force, but their origins are just as shady as the police.

    And even to this day there are plenty of places where the fire department operate closer to their original counterparts then they do to the image we have of them.

  • When idiots ride my ass I slow down.

    Im driving the speed limit in the right hand lane and you ride my ass - I let off the gas to the minimum speed (here its usually 45mph)

    Im actively passing in the left lane and you ride my ass I let off the gas.

    When the idots back off I speed back up. If they start riding me again I slow back down. After a few times of this they usually pull their heads out of their asses and back off/ properly change lanes.

  • The problem with that is people would still do the same stupid shit behind the pace cars which would just cause the same issues.

    The only way traffic pace cars would work is with better fundamental training (and enforcement of that training [meaning cops would actually have to regularly ticket people for tailgating]).

    Especially here in the usa there are hardly any barriers to getting/keeping your license.

    There is a massive amount of drivers who either shouldn't be on the road at all or with heavy restrictions like not allowed to drive at night, not allowed on the highway, not allowed to drive certain classes of cars (kinda like other countries do for motorcycles because there is zero reason for any joe schmoe to just be able to legally get behind the wheel of something like a supercar on public roads)

  • Sad thing is its more than just a few idiots.

    The idiots are the majority. So stupidly self absorbed they constantly screw themselves over trying to "get theirs".

  • Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters

    Jump

  • Taco bell is one the the few fast food joints that still has decent cheap options.

    They have a $7 luxe box ( if you use the app you can customize it.) That actually gives a worthwhile amount of food.

    And as far as I can tell it's an all the time deal, not some shitty limited time promotion like mcshit offers trying to get people to come bsck to their overpriced garbage. ($6+ just for fucking "large" french fries)

  • No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships"

    Jump

  • In regards to 1. I disagree - there are plenty of flawed things that are still my taste - just like this game is.

    I can enjoy something and still admit the problems it has. I don't need to 'justify' my enjoyment by pretending something is perfect or doesn't need improvement.

    That would be like saying a person I like has zero flaws or issues. Just patently untrue. EVERYBODY has something they need to work on themselves even if they can't see it.

    If you can't tell the difference between constructive and destructive criticism that's something you need to work on lol.

  • Maybe the only game that actually has a redemption arc?

    I can't think of any other game that was so panned for so many things that turned it around like Hello Games did.

    The only other games I can think of with any sort of redemption arc the main issues were because of bugs not swaths of missing features.

    Jump

  • It doesn't really help, but I find NMS space combat feels a lot better to me in VR.

    The added immersion really covers up the "on rails" feeling for me.

    Jump

  • But you end up "exploring" the same stuff over and over.

    Theres no reason to actually explore a planet - pretty much everything you want to do/see is taken care of at any random spot you choose due to the single biome planets.

    You've got like maybe 6 different versions of flora depending on the enviroment type. If your lucky they give you a color change too so instead of all green tree A you'll get a red tree A .

    Now I know it can be explained away by the games lore, but when the main goal of the game is to explore it doesnt really help.

    It doesn't even matter how many galaxies/universes you jump to - it's all still the same limited number of assets with the same limited color wheel.

    Jump

  • Yes, it is a flaw. Because those "smaller things" are little more than virtual fidget spinners.

    They offer a few fleeting moments of novelty and thats pretty much it. They have little to no relevance to the gameplay loop or are opposed to the gameplay loop.

    I can "build" a settlement that does next to nothing and I can't even design it the way I want.

    I can build a base that is practically lifeless, but I have to be carefull because terrain will respawn. Or base foundations float on top of terrain.

    And all the things I can build I'm lucky if theres 3 different skins I can choose from to try and make something "my own".

    And then of course lets not forget about the near literal mile wide inch deep the games oceans are. Heres a submersible. We will force you to use it for a couple missions and then theres no real need or point to it. All the oceans are the same shallow boring experience.

    Here im being slightly facetious but only slightly :

    You've seen one ice planet? Guess what - you've seen them all.

    One glitch planet- you guessed it youve seen them all.

    Tropical planet - oh look this ones sky is a different color, but still the exact same type of tree as that other tropical planet 40k lightyears away.

  • Honestly, i wonder if generative ai would work for a procedural game like this. Any 'errors' could just be written off as alien flora/fauna or a glitch in the simulation.

    My biggest problem with exploration in NMS is how quickly it all becomes the same thing.

    Hell if they just made planets multibiome that would go a long way to eliminating that cookie cutter feel.

  • Mile wide, inch deep. I've no doubt (as excited for this update as I am) that this will be the same.

    Basically they just add a framework for new features and then leaves it there without building it out.

  • Flashbang!

  • I can't decide if its aww or ahhhh!

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • I mean its kinda true. The biggest draw to custom roms back in the day was adding features that either weren't available at all or only on limited devices.

    Even before google started locking shit down tight custom roms were dying because they had less and less to differentiate themselves from both each other and official android.

    Now of course we've basically come full circle. We are losing wanted/needed features for "security" but shits so locked down custom roms can't provide us with those features. :(
