just move to unified vram like console would be best.
Exactly, without proper protection and equality for same performance/quality of work, it's just pure exploitation.
okay, let me ask the real question:
- do they also get paid at the same standard(minimum wage, benefit, etc) like other worker?
- do they also get CPP/EI contribution from employer? And can they take EI benefit when laid off?
- do they also get to contribute to RRSP/TFSA? TFSA is after 18 currently, so they can't even save their wage compare to other adult workers.
- when they do perform well, will they get evaluated and promoted the same way? ie, a 15 yo manager at fast food chain and paid the same wage as a manager.
I pride myself that I have never called or used any uber service. They can get fucked. also never book with airbnb, or whatever weird delivery service that expect their "worker" to get paid with tips only. I only order delivery when the restaurant have their own guy doing it.
this graph by itself is a marketing material, when ever someone compiles a "how rare" list of things, is by itself a marketing material. Cause rare equal value.
I think honestly they might be looking to have their own platform on PC one day to not paying the platform fee.
if they keep using steam backend for part of their PC framework, they will pay a lot more in the end, compare to invest now take some flames and properly push for their account backend on PC WHILE have steam's market place/distribution work for them.
Don't get me wrong, Sony already have the capability to server digital contents to all the PS5s, but it's a closed system and no worry about hacking etc as much compare to PC.
It took me so long to bake all the maps and future map updates from Mods(threewave mostly) and publish on our dorm FTP. People that still play on CPU is at disadvantage for sure.
But after a while anyone that plays 3d game already have one. It basically trickle down to other players. (ie my voodoo1 was sold cheap to one of my friends back then when I got the voodoo2.)
you forget the amount of time needed to bake Quake translucent water patch.
I want a Otogi reboot.
good to know I will upgrade to authenticator next.
It depends on how the studio signed the publishing contract and should they part ways, who owns the IP. But if the game loop is proven good and have fan base to sustain a studio, someone will take the torch if the game was shut by publisher.
there are quit a bit of satellite image you can check, I am not specialist in this to answer your question. (like are they consider connected or in the same "group" of origin? ) But half the planet is likely not possible because of how they are effected by the Earth spinning and drag + advection. ie. it means if you want to cover half the planet, you can only cover either northern or southern hemisphere. The cloud formed on equator area will be spread into 2 direction and then torn apart.
big thing looks small when far away.
then how about we don't use the sim or text message as 2FA? It sucks that both bank/CRA use text message code as 2FA method.
I'm willing to double dip just to roam the world with my ultrawide oled again, I've never really touched the coop mode anyway in Ps4 and then later PS5's remaster. I want to support the studio and I hope the Helldivers 2 event sends Sony a clear enough message. It's only 2 days in and they will be monitoring metric etc. Remember how well that reddit blackout worked? But this time, steam seems to willing to refund for those delisted countries no issue, so players in those region can hit Sony in the pocket. (and sadly, AH as well. )
You can even skip the whole suite if you don't need the AMD per game driver tweaks. OBS now come with direct AMD av1 support and also can record HDR content.(which relive can't do.)
I don't mind about some minor cloth added, but it does kinda meh because perspectives. ( say for the bunny suit, if I can only pick one change to revert back I'd pick to remove extra cloth that covers more butt, not the cleavage part. Also once they release the PC version people are gonna mod it anyway unless they remain sony exclusive for extended period of time. )
Yes, I've played HD2 but are kinda drifting away from it as I don't see something more exciting or new. ST:E does require more team work and I like the new class variety as well. But it's still very rough in current state, and not as "fun" for people that prefer casual hoard shooter. (cause you have to do all those "other" things on top of shooting the bugs. ) I do thing it's heading into a good direction though, hope the devs keep pushing some boundaries.
Stellar Blade: It's actually quite nice action play wise after I played the demo. And you get some eye candy + Nier style story plot I assume.
Starship Troopers: Extermination: The new 0.7 update gives something interesting to play with multiple classes, and ways to bring weapon to different class. I am having fun with it even though the overall jank/bug/balance and issues. Grinding class unlock only take about maybe 7-10 matches depending on your class of choice and game mode. And support class are actually quite important, missions success or fail pretty much relies on the classes to do their job. I wish they have more maps and game mode + more bug types to come before I got bore with it again.
the creations are really small if I remember correctly, they are like kilobytes or things put together in a container. (there are maximum objects limits for the creation as well. ) I don't know the max amount of favorite you can keep though, haven't played the ps3 ones for quite a while.

If anyone has this let me know what things I might need to prepare(other than the size of the monitor, it's huge but I can fit it on my desk after measure the HxDxW. )
If there is any bad experience with it also let me know as I can always cancel it before it's shipped. It seems really highly reviewed monitor where the size is small enough to fit on my desk and is not like 2000+.
Gamesir T4 Cyclone Pro impression
I bought a controller after reading some reviews and just offer my opinion here, only after about an hour or 2 playing HiFi Rush, since the game does not support wired DualSense. And following is compare it to DualSense.
- The controller feels really light compare to DualSense, it's not a bad thing but if you are using more sturdy cable instead of those soft cable you might feel the cable drag more.
- the textile feels okay, not as good as DualSense one but it rough enough and won't slip around. You can feel the dot pattern that helps the controller stay fixed with that extra friction. I am no engineer in this area but if DualSense feel slippery, this will definitely feel better if not too rough. My honest opinion is that maybe it will feel better after use more time with our hand grease etc.
- The stick cap have good grip BUT your skin bits will get trapped on it. From the look of it after I test the polling rate and play some of my palm skin are stuck on the left stick cap and it looks really hard to clean off because of the pattern it used. Might need to buy stick cap rubber just to make it easier to clean.
- the face buttons are mechanical, as my first controller that has this feature I have to say it does require sometime to get use to compare to majority that use membrane buttons. Your muscle memory will play tricks to you as how far/hard you need to press and would mess up timing for games like HiFi Rush. So even though it's more precise and less prone to sticky button like membrane ones, you do have to test it out to see if it's what you can work with. If you play between PS5 games and the PC games using different type of buttons it might be a bit problematic. But they are really responsive microswitch and doesn't really need much force to push.
- trigger is really light, since it's also haul effect, the tension is probably similar to DualSense without the game default status, but since PC game probably don't have standard to utilize those trigger resistance thing, I probably need to find the app to config how heavy the trigger should feel if they offer that option.(as this controller seems to provide trigger vibration, which means it should be able to adjust the trigger resistance. )
- It does come with 2 back button you can map to any of the existing buttons. I didn't enable them yet and might use them in the future.
- There are no windows app to do the settings. There are short cut keys to allow you to switch between different modes or bind buttons but more detailed settings does require the phone app.
- The controller come with latest firmware already. No 1000hz polling rate yet. It's pretty consistent and close to 500Hz when I use the gamepadla test.
- The LED on the controller home button is really bright, if you like to play in the dark it's gonna be a bit distracting. I will probably use a sticker to reduce it's intensity. You do need the led to show you what status it's in when your try to pairing and use with phone app or other device, like switch, so removing the led is not a good idea. But I am going to use this controller mostly wired so I guess I can tape it.
Things to look out for?
- how long it actually last as the sensor don't drift doesn't mean the springs etc won't degrade.
- as mentioned in many reviews, the dpads are not as good. if you play fighting game with a pad this is not for you.(very easy to miss diagonal) I don't play fighting games on a gamepad so I am fine with it.
- connector quality, this is also something that could get worse over time, and won't know it until it starts to break. But from initial use, it does hold the USB C quite firm and well.
Exclusive: China removes official after video games rules spark turmoil
Well look at China back paddle again, where is that "evidence" some troll mentioned about and psychology class 101 blah blah. This is so predictable just like the western "think for the kids" policy changes without any long term thinking or any science backing that decision. (like some US states pushing for abstinent for sex ed instead of safe sex and then cost a lot more social or politically cause unwanted baby or black market abortion.)
For any one that tries to hail that and ban mtx, gacha, season pass, but do not put more energy on pushing legislation to ban lottery, casino, mall gacha eggs, trading cards, kinder eggs or McDonald kid's meal collectables, you are a hypocrite.
We need more education on math(probability and game theory), sales strategy and involved psychology tricks( FOMO, door in the face, etc), financial/budgeting literacy and planning like you teach how to eat healthy and exercise, as they affect your everyday life. We can push for things that collect data for strange spending behavior(enforced if they play those gacha/mtx/online casino) and catch vulnerable people that are prone to become gambling addicts and direct them to therapy and bar them from more spending if cross a threshold(say $500/month) defined by law or regulation to protect their finance(play.com in Canada has something similar if I remember). Well, until the psychologist and bank says okay as we can't stop retirees to burn their fun allowance for whatever they like, like we can't stop you from buying collector edition and then they sit somewhere collecting dust. Or, you know, go to arcade burn like 100 dollars and then your ticket only trades for toys you can buy at dollar store for maybe 10 bucks total. Some people burn that money for the experience knowing fully well they won't make a return, and are not addicts.
And for the trolls, I don't care about the up/down votes anywhere, feel free to waste your time do that.
PS5 won't let you back up per game save file to USB
So, with the PS Plus discussion, I already letting my sub expire at end of year, thinking about that I have to setup back-up sync process on my PS5->USB->PC. To my surprise, that option is no longer available on PS5 games(only PS4 title, not upgraded version, still have that option.)
The price hike is there "because they can", Sony even blatantly shows on the console they can let you save individual save to USB for PS4 games BUT not PS5 games. As a long time sub this double whammy also lead me to the decision that I will no longer buy any cross platform release on PS5.
- PS5 will be left to play only the Sony exclusives from developer that I still care about. I will take the risk for not having save backups.
- I will never pay for any online tax on any platform for multiplayer and cloud saves. (already dropped live during XBox 360 and never paid for Nintendo Online.)
- I will keep my PS5 not updated after my current sub expires and wait for hack/jailbreaks so I can back up my save files.
Honestly it saddens me cause from now on every time my favorite developers release a game I have to remind myself about all the above. I am the type of fanatic that sometimes buys multiple copies of games on different platforms just to give devs I love more money. So with this change of event, I probably need to get a Xbox just to buy some future indie games in the $20~30 range instead of buying on PS4/PC.
Good job Sony, you cornered me really well, thanks.

I got a ban from a join match bug.
We all know that bug where you join but stuck as spectator right? Usually when that happened and you quit, you can still do other queue(don't know if this is changed or not).
Today, I queue 2s/3s at the same time but stuck in spectator view with out any interface/ball or other players.(can't even bring up score board, can quick chat but it prints the content without YOU: in front.) When I wait for like almost 1 mins, I bring up the menu and see the Leave Game button.(not the usual red Abandon Match.) So I pressed and go back to main menu, queue a different one in free play to then see there are no search status. Later it reflects in the queue menu that I got a temp ban for 5 mins in both casual and competitive/extra queue.
Unfortunately I didn't remember to record this. So yo guys might need to watch out when queuing.
Brace for even worse solo queue quality
Now that the summer school also finished, we would probably have way worse solo queue quality overall. I guess I should start playing 1s until September school resumes.
And, please remember to report bad behavior, once enough reports sends in, then toxic accounts would be flagged and probably trigger review/autoban. If no one does it, then it will just keep running rampant. Yes, even report the guy idling on opponent team or own goal.
Just one more win to fill the bar, right??
17 games losing streak after that is.(I marked my id when the title says win, but I am on the losing side) A gentle reminder to myself and my sleep hours, you can get your useless rocket pass level next day and will play better while well rested.
It's casual so all fun and giggle, but how many would trap yourself chasing for that last game to push reward to next level and then entering that death downward spiral.
I've been playing rocket league consistently since last year, 2s main and am currently sitting in D3 (peaked in C1). I'm
It's a teddit link so not contribute to reddit at all.
A fairly good read if you are interested on why better player can cover the worse player even without fancy mechanics. The "I can hang with [insert higher rank] tm8s" are mostly an illusion, if you can truly see through that and realize which part you need to improve, then it really opens up your way to rank up.
Something to remind ourselves about our health care system.
It's a teddit link so it's not contributing to reddit etc.
It getting harder to get timely appointment from recent years development in BC. It went from be able to book family doc in the same week to now about 1 month to 4 months away depending on how popular your doctor is. So with specialist it's gonna get harder.
Case study, how would you defend air dribble in this clip

This season's 2s queue is tough
I pretty much lose all the placements, then fortunate enough someone thinks that we mashed well, then win streak almost back to Champ. (1 point left to div up to Champ, 1074 atm.)
on my placement matches there are so many players feels like they are like 2 ranks above me at least. I don't know if that's actually a thing but it sure does feel like psyonix did address the 2s MMR drift issue. (which is a good thing. )
Rocket League replay - Not too bad for 45YO right?
I am peaking, simple as that, was checking if opponent have any one go for it and nope, so I just went for a "pass", which ended up a bar down sick backboard bounce shot. I am anyone can be lucky right, including 45YO. :D
Let's do some workshop time attack competition !!
Hey the subs of Rocket League, I hope all of you have access to workshop maps if you are on console I am very sorry about that.
If you wonder how it can be done on EGS client, please see here from yours truly workshop god Lethamyr !! https://lethamyr.com/set-up-custom-maps
This post is for discussion what to do and see how many wants to do it. In the format like this:
- which workshop map we are doing the time attack. ie. most rings/ dribble challenge map have a timer.
- what format of submission(youtube video link, screenshots)
- rules, like say, have to fly backwards. Or every reset means +2 seconds on final time(cause some map if you manual reset you basically cancel momentum and thus can complete the map faster). any fun rules welcome.
- and prize, like rocket league credits, or maybe cosmetic stuff I I can give out. (since you can't trade the unopened drops, we can probably do a recording and then send the result to winner.) I have many that I can give away(want to save the eggs etc for my son though).
Yep, it's time making some comments and suggestions.
Anyone tried the transformer stuff yet??
From description it seems customization is also very limited. And I don't think it really worth 2500c.
Current ways to filter nsfw bot in "All"
If you ever visit "All" to see about what community you might be interested, chances are you see the batches of nsfw posts from one of those bot instances.
Here is what you can currently do as a user:
-
click the block button "stop sign" icon to block the bot account. It's pretty quick and usually discreet as you don't need to visit their instance. And if the bot is setup to post for the wide different communities on that instance it won't show in your "All" feed again.
-
go to their instance and block all their existing communities. Very slow, sometimes the community icon, description might contain nsfw content. It's longer but if they changes the bot account name posts from those community won't show up.
-
tell the instance owner about the nsfw bot spamming instance and let them handle the filter. Note: I don't know if it actually works, cause if you click "all" I guess it tries to fetch from fediverse? please correct me if I am wrong.
TOTK: Automatic Egg Production Farm
I randomly saw this on youtube and figure this is pretty awesome to share. I personally teleport to the water sky temple area(low gravity) and duplicate any easily breakable things there. (eggs, bomb flower, ice jelly, etc)
After stay on "All" for a bit looking for community to sub, you will appreciate all the past reddit mods' work.
like nsfw/misinformation bot account migrating their content from reddit and publish on their own instance that also shuffle the created community and account name. You just like hit block button like a mad man to retain some temporary peace and 2 mins later, BAM, full page of nsfw and other stupid things popping up.
Players introduction mega thread
Create this post so people can follow and post with consistent format. You can still create your own LFG post with specific region, queue mode, rank requirements, etc. This is a thread to tell a bit about yourself, like when you started playing.
Format:
- Epic/Platform ID:
- How long you played rocket league:
- Which region/time zone you play from:
- You current/most used car body and why:
- A secret ritual you do to keep win streak going:
- Which map/workshop you currently play to practice and warm up and why? (include settings you use, ie. no unlimited boost, lower gravity with bakkesmod etc.)
zero boost air bump and doink to win the buzzer beater!
Opponent was quite skilled and one of them can air dribble, flip reset well that's why toward end of game I have to play pretty aggressively to disrupt his setups. Good thing that my tm8 is also playing very good(much better than I did really if you see how accurate he passed the ball to my landing spot.) This win is a bit of lucky as I am fairly certain that if it goes into OT we would probably lose to some kick off setup and some fancy clip shot was gonna coming. So, GOOD JOB Hodgy, you have my thanks!
