pimeys, in A tale as old as time

It’s interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 is actually selling really well still. Looks like it worked out well for CDPR eventually.

MindSkipperBro12,

Only took almost 3 years to make it actually worth it.

nevemsenki,

Same question as No Man’s Sky, though. Sure, the game wasn’t good on release… but they stuck to it, fixed it, and now it’s better. So what matters more, that they screwed up initially or that they managed to patch it up over time?

MeatsOfRage,

Yea CDPR doesn’t really belong in this picture. They always put in a ton of time and effort on their releases to make right by the fans. The other guys, not so much…

Cold_Brew_Enema,

Arr you nuts? Of course they belong. They released a game that delivered nothing of what they promised, and it straight up didn’t work on old Gen consoles. They are absolutely guilty.

tilcica,

players complained about delays so shareholders told them to release an unfinished game, players complained about unreleased game

just cant make some people happy

And this is exactly why OG Blizzard (WarCraft 1 (1994) to StarCraft 2 (2010)) was so beloved. They saw that they could stand to make games that lasted well past their 1 - 2 years after launch, in making them money long term.

Blizzard Entertainment leaders were often quoted as saying, “It’s ready when it’s ready.”, and “We won’t release it until it meets our standards.” Hell… it even became a meme that they would be asked when a game would be coming out, and they would just reply with “Soon.”

sviper,

Mad respect for them

Kusimulkku,

They always put in a ton of time and effort on their releases to make right by the fans.

Got a good chuckle out of me

Kusimulkku,

It’s not one or the another. It’s good that they fixed it but it doesn’t make up for the blatant lying and releasing it as a broken piece of shit.

Redonkulation,

It sold 18 million copies within a few months of launch. It worked out immediately.

BudgetBandit,

Yea the team really loves this game, they made it good

lorty,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Well, they did invest more time after making millions on profit enough for online discourse to shift to the point people argue that the launch wasnt that bad (it absolutely was worse than bad)

StickBugged,

I mean, it’s a great game. Sure, it was published in a far too buggy state, but story and gameplay wise it is fantastic

PopShark,

I actually just bought it for Xbox Series X about a month ago and I’ve been having a blast! Yeah it’s got glitches lol no shit but they’re not that awful at least on xbox but I heard they’re worse on PC

bus_factor,

You can work it out yourself. 6% is the same as 6/100, so 6% of 50 is (6/100)*50. Then do some algebra and see if you can jiggle it to say (50/100)*6. Then replace 6 and 50 with Greek letters so it looks more convincing.

aksdb,

Nah, I prefer to treat my math problems like climate change. With denial.

JulyTheMonth, in A tale as old as time

Which rockstar game had a bad release?

Fridgeratr,

The GTA trilogy “definitive edition”. Complete disaster lol. I haven’t kept up to see if they’ve gotten better but it was really bad on release

kem0rg,

They didn’t fix it, it’s still bad and not worth it.

Dirk,

They just took a crappy 3rd-party mobile remaster and made it runnable on PC.

Ser_Salty,

Oh no. They gave the task of remastering 3 big games running on old ass software full of hacked together code, within like 2-3 years, to a tiny studio of like 20 people that only ever made mobile games before. It was set up to fail. It’s like asking your crackhead cousin to redo your bathroom and you come home to find he’s ripped out all the copper pipes for beer money.

At least they’ve seen to have learned their lesson. The much smaller task of doing a basic port for RDR1 for Playstation and Switch was given to an actually decent sized development studio (Double Eleven). Lot of people got mad it wasn’t a remaster or something, but it is a perfectly fine port and you get the full RDR1 experience on a Switch

Dirk,

Oh crap, that’s even worse!

I used to watch a youtuber that played really hard rimworld scenarios for like me and his other 60 subscribers. When he started to grow up, to like 300 subscribers, he started to diversify his let’s plays and some people on the comments started to complain that he was wasting his time trying other games or mods of rimworld, instead of playing the same ultra hard scenarios again. I was like ny dudes, if he want to do a living of this he can’t marry with just one game, we don’t know if the next game is going to be a banger or if rimworld is going to die. I eventually stopped watching him because he stopped playing those really hard vanilla rimworld scenarios, but nowadays he’s a full time streamer and in the twitch salaries leak it showed that he got 60k at year by twitch. Not a lot of money, but enough for him to call it a full time job.

DarkenLM,

Not a lot of money, but enough for him to call it a full time job.

I don't know where they live, but in my country, they would be rich. Most people make less than 12k per year.

spez, (edited )

Same here. Won’t be good for the guy if he lives in expensive areas like new York city or Seattle (if he’s American) but in suburban/rural area, 60k/year for streaming isn’t bad at all.

Here I am admiring how the AI finally get the fingers look right until I noticed the extra arm.

hperrin,

The AI has been generous today.

LegionEris,

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

fluckx,

The thumb holding the spoon does seem off. Way too long no? 14/15 fingers then?

LegionEris,

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

Things to know you’re 30

“I wish the odd white one just went with the grain” (white hairs will grow whichever way they please, and it starts with only a few)

“Ah, that’s gonna be my bad knee”

“I don’t know why I have a sore spot there it just comes and goes”

“Dental repairs cost how much?” and suddenly brushing and flossing will be a second hobby

Tinnitus, but not like severe. Just once in awhile and often enough to keep you guessing like once a month or so.

“There was a pop but I don’t know where.”

“Oh my god I’m turning into my parents”

virku,

That sudden silence followed by a minutes tinnitus every couple of months is the weirdest thing.

Lawdoggo,

Wtf, I thought that was just me. Although it happens less ever since I lost some weight, so my guess is it’s BP related.

Zellith,

I had sudden tinnitus start in my left ear pulsing a high pitch with my heartbeat. Then slowly a crackling started in my right with its volume based on what I'm hearing. Now Im bombarded with noise every moment of every day. Docs have basically said "welp this is your life now". The Antidepressants arent cheap either!

virku,

That sounds horrible!

Alteon,

Have you found anything that helps yet? Brown noise? This is also supposed to help: trudenta.com/this-simple-trick-may-help-with-tinn…

Denvil,

I’ve had tinnitus since I was born, that trick does help, but only for a couple minutes. I just live with at this point, I’ve never had true silence so idk what I’m even missing

Smokeydope,
@Smokeydope@lemmy.world avatar

Big Pharma antidepressants ain’t cheap, grow a little 🍄 yourself

MrsDoyle,

Two things helped me: learning not to listen to the “noise” (it’s not truly noise, it’s a kind of nerve damage), and hearing aids. When I first put the aids in the tinnitus vanished. The downside is that all the work I’d put in to not listening was overturned, because I “heard” the sounds again when I took the aids out. Still nice to have that respite though.

Training yourself to not listen to the racket isn’t easy, but it is so worthwhile. Turn your attention away to something else - a smell, a photograph, your pet, anything. Focus away. Just thinking about tinnitus is making it “audible” to me, lol! It’s not real sounds, it’s your poor abused nerve endings firing off random signals. White noise works for a lot of people, but it never has for me.

Visit tinnitus.org for more info. There’s a download section where you can get a pdf of a scientific paper describing the method.

NocturnalMorning,

I have tinnitus all the time thanks to earbuds. Nobody ever told me it could damage my hearing.

ma11en,

It’s usually on the packaging.

It was in the 90s and early 2000s when I sold photo/video kit.

NocturnalMorning,

Yeah, in tiny print on the back of the packaging.

FlaminGoku,

I get that this is tongue in cheek, but seriously, some people are just waiting to die and seem to find joy in tracking how their body is breaking down vs doing something about it.

Body maintenance becomes more and more necessary as you get older. Use it or lose it.

Do strength training on the weakest parts of your body (hips, ankles, knees, shoulder, rotator cuffs, lower back, neck) and you will thank yourself decades later.

Or knee pain. Fell in an unfortunate way when I was 15 or so. Now I’ve got random intermittent knee pains for no reason.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.

Dagwood222,

Young people have a left knee and a right knee. Middle aged folks have a good knee and a bad knee. Old folks have a bad knee and a worse one.

MrsDoyle,

My bad knee is now titanium and my good knee has become my bad knee.

To anyone trying to cope with minor permanent tinnitus know it gets better. When I first realized I had it at 23 I pulled neurotic worrying self pity card, a year later and its just another part of life like that weird occasional ache in your back. I dont notice it 90% of the time and put on a fan or yt video the other 10%. There’s a definite psychological toughness factor to it as you go from “oh man I really really really hope this goes away in a month I dont want this the rest of my life to " oh well could be worse better stop with the loud music and excessive drinking/smoking.”

If I ever have kids of my own I’ll make sure to let them know not to blair shit into their ears for years straight and take hearing protection seriously

doctorn,
@doctorn@r.nf avatar

More like 7 years of occasional surprise it’s still there. 😅😂

Express_pickle,

I can imagine what it’s like to find it a year or two later and being like “Damn this thing still exists” lmao

doctorn,
@doctorn@r.nf avatar

Ngl, every time I go look for it out of need I totally expect it to be long gone. I might physically look at it every time I open my wallet, but it became so much part of the ‘background’ that I never actually see it at those times. 😅

Express_pickle,

The worst type of objects are the ones that are smack in front of you but you don’t see them because you don’t use them often enough.

It’s like holding your phone in your hand then spacing out, then when you zone in again you try looking for your phone which is still in your hand but because you spaced out and are used to it being in your hand often, you naturally forgot and thought you lost it.

doctorn,
@doctorn@r.nf avatar

Yeah, I’ve even been known to move my phone (off of a junk-basket, nb) to check if my phone wasn’t under it… Took me way too long before I realized that… Kinda reminds me of this: 😅

Fuck_u_spez_,

doctorn,
@doctorn@r.nf avatar

Yeah, I urgently need a new one but I keep postponing and forgetting. 😅 It used to be a cheap fake leather one which looked cool, has a crocodile head on the outside in it, and just plainly looked cool. Now, 5 years later, all the leather, except for the crocodile head, has proven to be a thin layer that has come off over time and what remains is a completely exposed (again, except for the crocodile head) black rubbery underlayer. 😅 Oh, well, it cost me €5 or something, I guess 5 years was a good service at that price…
