CluelessDude, in PlayStation 5 supply issues finally fixed after three years, says Sony

Right on time for PS6 launch

HappyMeatbag, in 2 way communication is key
@HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org avatar

This is such a classic communication problem. I’d like to hear how to overcome it.

Both sides have to talk and just as importantly, be willing to listen. Otherwise you’re just spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.

A phrase that's always stuck with me is "it's not me versus you; it's me and you versus the problem".

reverendsteveii,

what if you’re the problem?

:(

If one of the people in a relationship is the problem then both (or all) people need to work together to solve it. That means communicating about the problem without being confrontational, working together to find a solution or compromise, etc. Part of this requires a change in mindset: don't think "you are the problem", think "this aspect of you is the problem". It has to be a team effort.

saigot,

That and solution driven language. Instead of going “you aren’t doing chore x” it’s “I need chore x to be done more frequently, here’s what I’m willing to commit to doing for it” and then they share what they are realistically able to deliver, and then you negotiate until some sort of compromise is reached. Of course that requires good faith. But if your relationship can’t have that, maybe there shouldn’t be a relationship.

What I find weird is I see people who can do this in their office job, but then completely fall to bring the same problem solving to their personal life.

BurningRiver,

I’ve been with my wife for 18 years, and this is 100% correct. Disagreements are always going to happen, you just have to talk your way through them and be willing to admit when you’re wrong.

Maeve,

I’m imagining you lost a few at “just have to be willing.”

BurningRiver,

Well, my wife has to be willing to admit when she’s wrong. Fortunately for me, I’m never wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but it turns out I was mistaken.

Maeve,

I needed that deep laugh.

Raistwalker,

Agree 100%. My wife and I had pretty good communication but issues still came up occasionally. A few years in we made the conscious decision to treat arguments that came up as miscommunications first and make sure we each clearly understood each other before doubling down on it. It was a total game changer and was eye opening how often we might have the unrealistic expectation of wanting the other person to read our mind.

I know it’s a joke, but that’s not completly true. There are a lot game that are playable without downloading something. Does it play is a website that shows you, if your pysical version is able to play a game without downloading something.

BioDriver, in Amazon's Fallout TV Series Gets Spring Release Date - 12 April 2024

Based on what we saw with Witcher, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

EnsignRedshirt, in Rocket League removing player trading

I appreciate the lack of spin on this. “We’re going to remove core functionality for business reasons.” Usually there’s some crocodile tears about how they need to make changes to provide the best possible experience for players or whatever. Almost refreshing to hear the unvarnished truth.

gveltaine, in Majority of gamers play with subtitles

I’ve tried without and the audio balancing isn’t always great, on FF16 Clive is hard to hear because his pitch is so deep I miss nuances or words completely.

Also growing up with games before voices were normalized. Habits die hard

UlyssesT, in Majority of gamers play with subtitles

I prefer them on, always.

The mixing in many games often makes me miss a specific word, and it’s distracting trying to catch everything said without a helpful subtitle bridge to do the lifting for me.

jjjalljs, in Majority of gamers play with subtitles

Few reasons why I turn on subtitles:

  • sometimes the dialogue is kind of boring and I just want to read and hit “next line”
  • sometimes it gives clues I wouldn’t hear like “hunter growling” or “witch sobbing” in left 4 dead.
sbv,

sometimes the dialogue is kind of boring and I just want to read and hit “next line”

Yup. Cut scenes are boring. Most dialogue is pretty meh. Just let me get past it so I can do stuff again.

Reptorian, in Majority of gamers play with subtitles

I’m deaf, so if I cannot skip cut scenes, I’d prefer them on.

Car, in Majority of gamers play with subtitles

I play with them on.

It’s not often that I can devote 100% of my attention to a game enough to play with the volume at cinematic levels and hear everything the way the devs intended

csfirecracker, in It’s taken 9 years but I’ve finally competed Light City Run on Trials Fusion

Congrats! Its always satisfying when one of those mechanics finally clicks.

Reptorian, in Big Oil's Using Fortnite, TikTok, And Twitch In Effort To Convince Kids Fossil Fuels Are Cool

Good thing I won’t buy a gas-guzzler. I think I’ll stick with solar power and other things. Green energy with nuclear power (which is green if managed correctly) is the future. European nations should really think about sanctioning them if they want to play politics.

sentient_loom, in Unity will quietly waive fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah so that was the plan the whole time.

ringwraithfish,

Yup. Do something so absurd to generate the rage, then apologize and announce your true intentions under the guise of a compromise.

puttybrain, in Forget About Platform Exclusives; Here Comes The PC GPU Exclusives!

Isn’t FSR cross platform?

I don’t understand why only implementing FSR is a bad thing when DLSS is exclusive to Nvidia and if it wasn’t the current punching bag Starfield, I doubt anyone would kick up a fuss about it.

I’m saying this as someone that has an Nvidia GPU and hates the actual hardware lockout of G-Sync monitors.

CJOtheReal, in 2023 Year In Review - Easy Allies Podcast - Dec 29, 2023 (Pluto: At least watch the"Unending Layoffs" section of the video; it is depressing and really shows problems with the game industry)
  1. Ew hexbear
  2. The current layoffs are actually just a return to pre covid levels. The gaming companys went on a hiring spree during covid and now they can’t pay for people doing essentially nothing
