What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I’d think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they’re trying to rehire the same employees.
by up to 45% on SSDs
Excuse me, what!?!
I wonder where the average is for the performance reduction. Probably something I’ll look into but I’d be pissed if I bought a drive and instantly lost even 20%.
Luckily, I’m not on Windows so I have nothing to really worry about but damn.
Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.
It’s all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the “obvious solution” being advertised right there on the homepage.
I find it odd that people say “No, Nvidia is better”
I’d assume that by better, they mean the performance, I’m which Nvidia is definitely better. They’ve been doing it for longer and at this point. Account for the number of years in the game and they’re pretty equal. 20 series Ray Tracing is a joke.
The majority of people aren’t bothering with RT anyway.
They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.
I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.
I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”
Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.
The data being generated now sure, but there’s still the years of actually useful data there.
Then add on the remaining half of comments that are from sensible users and it’s a decent, and still fairly unique, dataset.
Google just doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing
Can you send this to Google:
“See Apple Pay and the Wallet app on iOS.”
I really don’t understand how they can see another company doing things right and still be this lackluster. Copying the good things their competition does it a good thing sometimes.
Oh yeah, I did get to those. I got the edition with all the DLC from the EGS giveaway.
Dishonored. I’ve had it for ages and only ever played the very escape mission. It actually got me to buy Dishonored 2 and start that.
Let’s hope for BioShock in 2024.
This has nothing to do with Linux. Gamers in general, the cast majority being in Windows, hate EGS. It makes contracts for exclusivity, the launcher is apparently atrocious and there’s an almost inherent bias against any launcher/storefront that isn’t Steam. You’ll find those three reasons in just about any conversation about EGS.
And, to actually address your Linux theory, all I have to do is to open Heroic, sign in if I haven’t already, download the game and run it through Proton, in exactly the same way I do on Steam. Epic’s hate for Linux isn’t really that much of a problem.
It still irks me. I guess it’s just me having rinsed my entire life.
And that functionality is in Gnome, but disabled by default IIRC. I’ve had it on for years in both PopOS and Debian so I may be wrong but I do believe it’s a Gnome feature.
I’ve heard both, but I can’t not rinse after brushing. Any taste of actual toothpaste in my mouth is unsettling to me.
Even if you buy it(which I do support more and more), pirate it. We’re at a point where it’s just far easier to use the pirated versions of a lot of digital items and you also don’t have to worry about someone “taking it back” afterwards.
And you can spell through as thru as well.
No you can’t. Not in the same way. “Thru” is an informal word, similar to writing “gud 2 c u”.
How about you at least try something that’s not blatantly inequivalent. If I Google “thru”, what can I expect to find? If I run both through a dictionary, what can I expect to find? If I poll the general public on each, which one would be accepted as a proper spelling? What would I have to do to both “thru” and “hiccup” be treated as equals here?
That doesn’t change the original spelling, or the fact that they’re pronounced the same
I said nothing about an original spelling. But if you’re calling it the original spelling, you’re kinda just conceding that “Hiccough” is the original and “hiccup” is the current.
No, we all say hiccup. FFS, googling “hiccough” essentially autocorrects to hiccup. If everyone spells it hiccup and also pronounces it hiccup, literally no one is using “hiccough”.
Finally, a sane response. Of course they’ll “sound similar” because they’re both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.
I’m more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I’m assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.
Because then they’ll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it’ll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody’s going to want to work with them under a similar contract.
