  • So I've been playing Tropico 4 for a bit, and it looks pretty good. You're always zoomed out, so you don't need to have more than like 8 polygons for a limb.

    I literally could not run cities Skylines 2 or KSP 2 at a good frame rate. Everything was modelled incredibly well and looks great, but that doesn't mean shit if I can't run the game. I strongly suspect that's a big contributing factor.

    In addition to this, they're going to against their biggest competitors: the previous game. It's literally the same game with more content, runs incredibly well by comparison, has a huge mod library, and is much cheaper to boot. Might not be as pretty, but it actually might not matter given what you're playing.

    I think there's probably a lot of issues that contribute to this to be honest, but it feels like at it's core it's a fools errand to begin with.

  • I'd argue there's a niche that's not being filled by standard community interactions in regards to learn how your society thinks you should act, and that's where the scum starts crawling in. These guys wouldn't have an audience without there being a pre-existing market for their bullshit.The pipeline starts really early now as well with kids being allowed on the internet, and it's just so fucking disheartening. I got a lot of bullshit fed into me when I was younger, but I can't imagine how much gets directly beamed into your brain nowadays.

  • Oleds look great, but I'm severely allergic to the concept of burn in. Not interested in technology that has such a comparatively short life span, and don't want to think about auto hiding UI elements either.

    I can't stand people holding swords backwards in fiction

    Edit for clarity, I'm talking about when someone holds their sword in the grip where the blade is pointed along the forearm, instead of the usually grip, where it's an extension of your arm. I clearly don't know how much general knowledge people have about swords.

    Bit of a rant here. It's like the smallest of nitpicks. It's not a big deal. But I also wish people in charge of how swords in media are handled had to just hold a sword for an hour, because it's immediately obvious how impractical that technique is.

    I've had a medium amount of sword handling in my life which is probably why it bothers me so much. Minor amount of 16th century swordplay, 4 years of fencing, half a year with Kung Fu sword form. Not an expert, but enough to know how the muscles work. Holding it backwards puts a huge amount of strain on the wrong

    Experience with Vyvanse, does it get stronger over time for anyone else?

    Hi all,

    I've been on 30mg Vyvanse for approx. 3 years now. I'd say it's been a resounding improvement, though there have been some minor downsides.

    Unfortunately I have some trauma in my past, and when I'm particularly in the peak of the drug it can kick in my fight or flight a bit under certain circumstances, becoming hyper vigilant and all that good stuff. It is a stimulant, it's only fair. Oddly enough though this seems to only happen after long periods of taking the drug. I've tried 20mg for a period, and it wasn't really effective, so going down a dose isn't a practical option.

    I am wondering if maybe I should be taking small drug holidays when the paranoia etc starts to kick in. I feel like it steadily gets stronger the more days I take Vyvanse in a row. I've done some searching that says it shouldn't get stronger, which is why I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience, and if anything worked for you?

    Technology is kind of shit now

    I'm kind of sick of being into tech. Everything is riddled with ads and speculative investment. You have to manage your expectations so much because everything has a good likelihood of turning into garbage at a moments notice. It's just not fun anymore. I know I'm probably a bit nostalgia blinded, but I miss the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s so much. Games were new and interesting, tech was moving at a lightning fast pace, things were fun.

    I know it's more complicated than that, and there are reasons things are how they are, but fuck man. Anyway, off my chest.
