And we have been paying for it ever since. They will never make that mistake again lol.

When I go back to read the stuff I write I think mostly “damn that guy sounds like a psycho”

The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies

Because you have wasted like 5 opportunities that NVIDIA has given you to penetrate the market on a silver platter

The 7000 series could have been so successful if they would have been willing to undercut NVIDIA significantly, it was the perfect time to strike at a time when there was a lot of discontent with NVIDIAS ridiculous pricing and VRAM offerings. But AMD would rather sell two cards at 1000 each than take the bet of trying to sell four at 750.

At least in the past you could argue that they were not in a position to take huge bets in the graphics market but they’ve been doing too well as a company for that excuse to hold any value anymore. The last two generations can only be explained with complacency and lack of ambition.

At this point AMD kinda deserves to give up their position to Intel in the graphics market, let’s see if the new player is willing to penetrate aggressively because the old player two is clearly ok with where they are at.

Yet again, proof of what’s always been true: eventually, there’s always demand

I wonder if I’ll be even worse in this one

orb dude doesn’t seem to be in it so that’s already a huge problem for me

I mean most probably yeah, but they have also been progressively locking more and more functionalities behind paid tiers.

Now that they have fully penetrated and locked the market, killed any potential competitors, and become the default, I assume their “product” will be to make the free tier become less and less functional while also getting monetized in more annoying ways. If people don’t like it maybe they should have known better than to make it the default.

Unfortunate.

when you get a god run with a good synergetic build this game is insanely satisfying

I know that’s probably true but it sure as hell doesn’t feel like it aaaarrrgh

Fuck this game, it has damaged my psyche

The amount of times that I had like a 70% chance of drawing what I needed in the last discard alone and didn’t, or the amount of times that I had a beautiful synergized build and a boss that disables it appeared by “coincidence”, argh.

Yet I can’t stop playing it

oooooh shit 32v32 is gonna be a beautiful mess in certain maps like Polis Massa or Tantive, I can’t wait

This is low key one of my favourite multiplayer games ever so this revival out of nowhere has made me super happy

excuse me they are scarlet rot swamps now, it’s a totally different thing

gives me time to get a character ready, also it’s not like there aren’t a gazillion good games to play right now, there’s no hurry

A slicer is the program that takes a 3D model and “translates it” into the sequence of actions that the printer needs to do to create that model. It is called a slicer because 3D printers build the models in horizontal layers, or in other words, in slices.

Cura is one of the slicer programs available. There are many, divided between slicers for FDM printers (the ones that print from a spool of material) and slicers for resin printers (the ones that print from the disgusting goop that comes in bottles). Your printer tends to be packaged with a suggested one but usually you can use any of the appropriate type.

Slicing is one of the most important parts of 3D printing, and it tends to be the difference between ending up with a pristine figure or a very blurry one. In the most extreme cases, good slicing will be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful print.

broadband? Isn’t this specifically about cable TV, not Internet communication?

a threat that doesn’t pass even the slightest sniff test, any significant raise in prices would leave them open for a competitor to undercut them.

If you are WB, I can’t see how you compare the performance of this game vs the performance of Suicide Squad (which had similar development time) and not rethink your approach to future licensed titles

Makes sense, it’s now or never probably. IGN is 100% a “content volume over content quality” type of company, the type that would replace a lot of the writing and editorial staff with AI as soon as it became a half-decent alternative. So might as well put pressure on them and exercise bargaining power to get some guarantees while you still have leverage and they still need you.

Well shit… The last time I saw memes about how ridiculous an Apple product looked, they were about the AirPods and they ended up being ridiculously popular.

It doesn’t matter how silly it looks to us at first, Apple could convince people that wearing dog feces on their face looks cool. Unfortunately.

A week?!

The house is going on fire and they wanna take their sweet time finding the most optimal faucet?

That basically confirms every rumor about this. It wouldn’t take a week to prepare a statement if it wasn’t the tectonic shift it is rumored to be. Damn.
