@SaintWacko i haven't seen this in mobile, i had forgotten about it and am sad now

i guess i'll have to go gmail, i checked other services a month or so ago and they all seemed bad

The following is a picture of my agent, looking at the mod inventory. It's clear that my Skill Power is 1335, yet the requirement for the mod is 352, and it's marked in red. Does this mean that I do not meet the minimum requirements to use this mod?

game streaming is for those who don't want to spend much on a gaming PC, so they can use their shitty laptop that barely runs facebook to play AAA titles

and lots of people don't know the technical know-how to even switch their tv to game mode, so I imagine there's quite a few people gaming on their consoles with well over a hundred ms input lag :P

I need a paper to not get arrested in a country that speaks a language I don't know, and was told that it's not necessary by doctors. My gf was given one as soon as she asked.

I'm being told that my levels are too high at 390 and that I should go down to 200, while my gf was told that 400-500 is great. You might say "but she's probably bigger/taller than you", which is incorrect, we got measured when we got to the first session and other than muscles our body is practically the same, and I only have slightly more muscles for carrying around bag and all for work.

and I'm being told to take EV monthly, while halflife of EV is 7 days afaik

Ronan

@Wipqozn I've seen the stage play of that one. It was... unique

Nzall

I started reading Discworld in order of release and I just couldn't get into it. I think it was because too many things happen between the lines, like spell effects or character events

Ronan

@Nzall Pratchett himself said not to read the first ones first, he said they were written by a much worse author

> Wallace said he believes Noveto could easily give its devices better sound quality than one of the most popular headphones you can buy today.

Nzall

It sounds interesting, but you need to get your tech into the devices, and that's going to provide a massive cost

Like, I'm not paying 300 EUR extra for a device with Noveto

Matt E. Эллен

yeah. it seems like it would be good for tv, if it can track multiple people, and each can have their own volume

Wipqozn

Considering the most popular headphones are BEATS BY DR SCAM, then headphones will still be around for a while. Also noise cancellation, also not sure how this would replace headphones while on the go.

All super cool, but I hate that headline, basically

Buns Glazing

Buns Glazing

@Ave yes, normally

Cochlear implants are a pretty interesting technology

MBraedley

1:32 PM

@Ave There are restrictions around what types of deafness they work for. If a person's cochlea is damaged, and that's what causes their deafness, then implants won't do a thing for them.

The more I hear about this, the more I'm starting to get Edmond Kirsch' speech from Dan Brown's Origin novel

for those who haven't read the novel: Kirsch built an immensely powerful computer to figure out essentially the meaning of life (where do we come from? where do we go?), which found that A) rule 0 of the universe is maximize entropy and life is just a really good way to achieve that and B) a new dominant species is arising on Earth consisting of human/machine hybrid life

techraptor.net/content/…

if this rumor is true I will NOT be happy about it

According to pcgamesn, The Outer Worlds might be an Epic Store exclusive

SaintWacko

I hate how Epic is bringing the whole console-exclusivity thing to PC

We're supposed to be better than that

Nzall

Yeah. I really hope this whole Epic Store will be huge failure

Though the console exclusivity thing is not fully merited. Like, you can't play an Xbox game on a PS4, but a game that releases on Epic doesn't require you to buy a different PC than the one you play Steam games on

And EA games are already exclusive to the Origin store

Like, you can't buy EA games on Steam

SaintWacko

That is true

But there's nothing preventing EA from releasing their games on other services

Nzall

so in a sense we already have parts of that console exclusivity on the PC market

SaintWacko

As opposed to exclusivity agreements with Epic

Nzall

2:25 PM

AFAIK every exclusivity agreement so far is timed exclusivity

Jason Berkan

Back in the day, every game was exclusive.

Nzall

The problem is the crap Ubisoft pulled where you can't buy the game anymore from 3rd party resellers after the release date

Because of their TiMeD ExClUsIvItY deal

Yuuki

@Nzall Yeah but the difference is that EA itself publishes all of the games that are Origin-exclusive.

Metro Exodus was published by Deep Silver.

Nzall

God, I hope that if I buy the game in the store when it goes on Sale it comes with a Uplay key and not an Epic key, otherwise I'm asking a refund

Yuuki

And excuse me while I throw up for defending EA.

SaintWacko

2:31 PM

@Yuuki Yeah, I felt the same way

Yuuki

As far as PC platform exclusivity has gone, it's mostly happened if the publisher has their own platform.

The thing with Metro Exodus is somewhat new (although maybe not unprecedented) in that the publisher doesn't have their own platform but was essentially paid off to become platform-exclusive.

Nzall

My main issue is not exactly the platform exclusivity, but rather the fact that Epic Games doesn't allow 3rd party resellers to sell keys for their platform, so you can't even shop around for better deals

Hell, even The Division 2, which is a Ubisoft title and as such would give you a Uplay key, can't be bought anymore from 3rd party stores

Yuuki

It can't? I got my key from Humble Bundle a day or two before release.

Huh, yeah.

It's gone from the store, I can't find any search results.

Nzall

yeah, it was only sold on 3rd party platforms until March 15th, and now it's only available on GreenManGaming and Uplay

Oh wait, not even on GMG, it's out of stock there

Yuuki

And it's extra awkward given that Humble Store is doing a Ubisoft week sale.

It's a fairly substantial edit, so it kind of matters whether it was made by OP

And it doesn't help that you have a history with this site and this room

@Wipqozn BATNAs are great things.

It makes you much more confident when your circumstances don't hinge on it being make or break.

My minimum is three times the difference between their offer and my current salary.

Back to the discussion about the Disney acquisition from yesterday.

> The website for The Walt Disney Company updated its banner. It now includes The Shape of Water, Avatar, Deadpool, The Simpsons and Atlanta.

So... given that they split off the Fox TV network, does that mean the Simpsons are going to move to ABC?

Q: GPU usage is less, I cannot utilize its full potential

I play assassin's creed syndicate on my new hp gaming laptop. It runs smooth on medium (recommended) settings but it consumes only half of my graphics memory(and my task manager says it is consuming 100% usage of my GPU). When I use HIGH settings it consumes almost up to my maximum graphics memor...

@PrivatePansy stories aren't in the same order for everyone. There are four different random orders you could have gotten

Which one did John Scalzi write?

Yuuki

@BunsGlazing Huh, that's interesting.

@LukasThoms We've never had a show like Love, Death & Robots before so we're trying something completely new: presenting four different episode orders. The version you're shown has nothing to do with gender, ethnicity, or sexual identity — info we don't even have in the first place.

Some guy made a claim that you got them in a different order if Netflix thought you were gay, lol

Turns out it's just a random selection

guys, small announcement: since WoW is too frustrating to play for me right now with the way the community handles M+, I've decided, along with my auticoach, that I'm putting it aside for a couple months

Yuuki

Well, it's good to put aside things that frustrate you.

/r/MenWritingWomen is both a deeply disturbing and hilarious subreddit.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Uh, yeah

Nzall

Yay! Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain come to PC. BOOOH! Epic exclusives...

Moacir

Wait

Are you claiming they will be epic exclusive or is it confirmed?

Nzall

It's been confirmed

Yes?

Moacir

You see, I would not be mad if epic would be able to bring PS exclusives to pc

Jason Berkan

Also, Heavy Rain wasn't that good.

Moacir

Or rather any console exclusives

But it makes me sad that they tried to undermine steam

@Yuuki Looks like a corrupted flesh beast from a video game

So it looks I either have to replace the touch controller for my phone or get a new one.

I'm more than tempted to get a new one.

Uhh...

that's not how you venn diagram, I think.

I mean, you can do the venn diagram with a middle intersection of all 3 and remove the arrow

Right, but the way they did it is completely wrong

the data caps stuff is a US thing, or? I haven't seen those here for non-mobile internet

Yuuki

ISPs are starting offer data-capped plans in the US.

Mad Scientist

and I'm pretty sure the quality of the router doesn't matter unless it's entirely shit. And this doesn't mention the quality of your connection itself and your distance from the relevant datacenter

Moacir

Is Stadia focused on data caps?

I dont get this graph

At all

Yuuki

The graph is kinda dumb.

Mad Scientist

no, but it uses considerable amounts of bandwith, so if you had a data cap, it wouldn't make sense to use it

Dragonrage

8:37 PM

@MadScientist my friend hit a data cap on an internet service he didnt realize was capped. though he was using multiple terabytes of data per month

Yuuki

Also, given that Google is shutting down Inbox at the end of the month, I'm not going to invest too heavily into a Google game streaming service.

It has a lot of hurdles in its path and Google has a tendency to "trim the fat".

Mad Scientist

I don't see this going anywhere fast, not just because of the inherent limitations, but also because I don't see the prices to become low enough. Even for Google it's not that cheap to provide the amount of CPU and GPU power modern games require

user15026

@Yuuki That was a thought I had as well

Moacir

8:52 PM

@MadScientist I mean, the graph doesnt include Stadia on people with no data caps, while it should
