I'm not very technical with laptops, but even I'm amazed that spinny disks are still a thing being put into new laptops in 2021

I play games a fair bit but I think my most played game is Xcom 2 which is at about 300 hours, and I feel a bit weird when I see that number. I've a friend who's very much into team multiplayer FPS games. He's got something like 2000 hours in Hell Let Loose, a game that's only just left early access.

Party Boat posted:Do you have kids? If so, there's your answer Yeah that’s a huge part of it. And a time consuming job, and other hobbies and distractions. I’m not talking about people with a few hours to kill at night/on weekends playing games. I like video games a lot, and I used to play them a lot more, but seems like a lot of these citizens really do stop working, plug into this “game” for six hours, than go to sleep. I don’t know how you can do that with a spouse, much less kids.

That wording is excruciatingly bad. It's probably for the best it wasn't stylized It mirrors the parent product with it's inability to account for any substance, while still being verbose in an attempt at grandeur Also if somebody gives your org 25k...idk...hand write the note or something???? At least personalize it lmao Worf fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Aug 8, 2021 |

Most citizens are the kind of guys whose idea of enlightenment is ascending to godhood so they can rape, torture, and murder with impunity.

I always have to remember to give Windows test VMs four to five times the storage of Linux test VMs. And even my workstation that I've been using for 5 years now only uses 20GB for the OS. I can understand that Winsxs is just going to grow infinitely forever and why it was done that way, but that doesn't account for many, many GB of of … what exactly?

Which means he played DOTA approximately 1/5th of the days after its release My math might be off but i legit got dyscalculia Also i dont know where im going with this Star shitizen suck ok

GyverMac posted:7000 divided by 12 (hours in a day) is 583 There are 24 hours in a day, so the ratio is more like 10% of the person's life spent in Dota 2. I had a friend in college who reached 100 days of /played in world of warcraft within the first year of the game launch, though, so I can believe it.

quote:CIG are in the process of completely rewriting the cloth and hair physics simulation for StarEngine, the number of articulated bones they have per item is frankly astounding, they have strand based hair and each strand has it's own collision detection. Considering they are simulating a massive open world environment what they are planning is mind boggling. They have waving flags and drifting cherry blossom petals on Orison which is on the largest fully simulated volumetric cloud gas planet in any game. Skyrim V is a mobile phone game in comparison.

NPCs are totally blocking critical doors posted:NPCs are totally blocking the Dumper's Depot's only door. I came all the way to Area 18 to buy stuff there. First, when I was leaving the dorm (because I got 30K'ed at the spaceport) the elevator's door was blocked by a second pair of doors (colidable). I had to hop servers!
