Wait, porn?

I disagree, but ok.

Beat up? Are you kidding me? She’s described as a combat trained woman in peak physical performance and she’s still being overcomed by the man aggressor. She succeeded in winning buy using a blender as a weapon, and that sounds pretty realistic to me.

“We decided to hire a shit writer in order to recreate the atmosphere of a true Bethesda game”

For every new release they hire the best UX designers and developers in order to find ways of make your experience worse.

Would this mean I could finally ditch what’s app and use only Signal?

Oh we are, I’m afraid.

For windows, yes. For Linux and OSx, 8gb si still ok for most usecase

Incredibile story, thank you for telling us

I use Chris Titus script for this exact same reason

At first, I was a bit annoyed that every time I launched a game I had to wait for the launcher to start and update (and sometimes login too). No big deal, but annoying.

Then, I had problem with a game update (don’t remember which, maybe TLOF1) and I wanted to downgrade the version and it was impossible to do it within the store. It was easy with a pirated version to choose the patch to apply and not to.

Last week I got Outer wilds for free and installed. It crashed every time I started a new game. Reinstalling was useless. Downloaded a pirated copy to see if it was different and indeed it was: perfectly fine (no idea why, honestly).

I ended up pirating all the game I own through Epic store. That’s how bad it is.

Unfortunately, it’s not like that. The current state of internet services and social media is inherently addictive and problematic, and that’s especially true in formative years.

While education is extremely important, it won’t be enough.

While this is true, it is a terrible way of debating with the public.

And while users may not be able to understand game design decision and background, they can well be aware that those decisions brought to a really bad game.

perfect

And what about the PC version?

I’m so jealous of people ability to engage in such way with sandbox “games”. I get bored after like 20 minutes.

But if you just want to watch YouTube and shop on the Web you definitely don’t need an M3.

An M3 chip with a 8gb RAM is just plain stupid. The problem it’s not the 8gb RAM per sé.

So cool!

You can decide to use something because you like it and have a positive value for you, and then end up abusing that same things because of addiction.

Facebook and other social media actively engineer their service to exploit our natural brain functioning in order to became addictive. On top of that, they also give well designed services which can be useful and fun to use. People decide to use those services because of that and ends up becoming addicted and using them for a lot more time. This has nothing to do with good design.

It’s like with smoking: people can find it a legitimate pleasure because of the taste, the social meanings and the gesture, but you ends up being addicted because of the nicotine, not because it’s a pleasure per-se.
