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?
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…
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.
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.”
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)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
Got it a 7 years ago, haven’t lost the ejector since… Even amazes myself everytime I need it and it’s still there… 😅 Before this mine usually didn’t last a week.
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. 😅
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.
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: 😅
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…
