Yeah, they did the branding thing to people too.

They can get appease of my balls.

I think I haven’t played a single skirmish round of Company of Heroes 1 without the Blitzkrieg mod in the past 15 years.

Is it a high refresh rate monitor? Had artifacts once on a monitor that had an “overclock” mode that ran it at 165 hz instead if 144 hz. Once I turned of the oc function it stopped.

I don’t know if that has been enshittified or was has always been shit in the first place but:

Annotation Apps

Seriously, how hard is it to make an app that let’s me make markups, use a stylus, and share that across devices.

Exhibit A: Xodo
It was once free, with all the good features, but then they took those features away and implemented a subscription model.

Exhibit B: Drawboard PDF
Once, came free with a Surface Pro or was a buy once use forever software, until Microsoft took a away all the bought licenses and locked most features behind a paid subscribtion.

Exhibit C: Saber
Its free. It doesn’t use Windows Ink. Why even bother?

Exhibit D: Adobe Acrobat Reader
Hahahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaa *Wheeze* hahahhhahaahahahaaaaa

Exhibit E: Microsoft One Note
Aneurism Simulator. You know how printing things suck because printers never play along? Microsoft decided to solve this problem by making printing out One Note sheets properly almost impossible on the software level. Also it can’t open PDFs properly or have normal A-Format pages. Either infinite drawing space or nothing.

Exhibit F: Samsung Notes
Actually decent. Free. Android Only. But at least it keeps the annotations separated from the PDF so you can still edit them after transfer. Good choice.

Nvidia’s biggest finacial achievement in their gaming branch was fairly simple, getting rid of the “Titan” nomenclature. That’s it.

Before we had the XX80’ cards and that was it. All you ever needed for gaming was a XX80 Ti. That was the top of the food chain. Nobody ever expected you to have lr need a Titan card - that would have been ridiculous. The Titan card was a mix between gaming GPU and buisness GPU. It was for people who didn’t want to buy a Quadro Series for work and additionally a GTX/RTX Card for gaming. The Titan was the best of both worlds but came with a high price.

But now the XX90’ Series is essentially what the Titan Series was. Except now owning a XX80’ Series doesn’t feel like top of the line anymore. Simply by having a card in a generation with a higher “number” than yours, feels like there’s still a higher tier to achieve or like you’re still in “mid” tier, essentialy. Enough people fell for it and started buying the XX90’ Series as if it where a requirement for modern gaming. And after the XX90’ Series became mainstream, game developers stopped optimizing their max setting for the “mid” tier cards. This I why cards like the 4070 Ti or 4080 S still dip below 60 FPS on 1440p on maxed settings in some titles. 60 FPS on maxed is reserved for a 4090 - maximum settings, maximum graphical fidelity, maximum power consumption, maximum price.

Looks at my VW

I could go on a 6 paragraph rant about Breath of the Wilds inventory system.

Only Capcom games. Their demos give you a pretty good idea of what the fully game is going to be and are usually even improved upon. So preordering is mostly a safe bet. Plus you get some early access goodies (which you can also get after release for some extra shmeckles).

Capcom feels like one of the only multiplatform devs that are actually still making games for gamers not for shareholders.

Inventory Tetris

I tried it but I couldn’t get over the fact that there is no dedicated parry/block button. Also the game looks horribly dated with muddy textures and environments.

It doesn’t have the soul of a Metal Gear game. Its quite literally Bayonetta with a Metal Gear reskin. Metal Gears gameplay is mostly about player freedom. You have to get from point A to B and how you do it is up to you. Rising takes all of that away, just hack and slash to kill everybody. Its still fun, but definitely not a Metal Gear players cup of tea.

I had the same realization about 40K Space Marine (the old one). When it originally cane out I loved it, but I replayed it a few months ago and realized that its kind of bad. Its just corridor, arena, corridor, arena, corridor,… There’s not really anything to it, not even the story. Why is it so highly praised? Because back when we first played it we thought it was cool and nostalgia is a powerful thing.

I only played Rising recently precisely because back when it came out it deviated so much from the first Trailers. I wanted Metal Gear Solid 4 but with Raiden, but what we got was Metal Gear Devil May Cry.

$600 <-> prolly three fiddy

Emulators are for Nintendo what loud chewing is for most people, not exactly illegal but if you do it you’re gonna get decked.

It’s a grower.

Which one? The original? The Remaster or the Remake? Or the 2nd or the Remaster of the 2nd?

I struggle to understand my Netflix costs.
