Okay Journathan

Because the meme isn’t about the actual facts. It’s about the joke at the end. Which you clearly missed.

Not sure why you are being downvoted for this

The downvotes are probably because they’re just stating something obvious. No shit, bad looking CGI looks bad, that doesn’t mean the actual CGI itself is necessarily bad. Small things like wrong lighting can make otherwise great CGI look terrible. The reasons DO matter, even if the average person may not really care and just has the takeaway of “bad CGI”.

Posting that type of response is not actually providing anything to the discussion, it’s a useless comment that provides no value. Not all comments and opinions are valid or constructive. The voting system is not really for agree/disagree, but whether a post adds to the discussion.

I’d argue it matters quite a bit. It shows producers, and by extension a studio, that can’t manage production effectively, and that almost always extends to the rest of the movie. “Bad” CG is rarely the only issue with those movies, it’s just what you remember most since movies in general require the suspension of disbelief and that pulls you right out of it.

So 90% of the self-proclaimed “power users”.

And often that’s not because the CGI itself is bad quality, but because the effects team was asked to do the impossible with half the tools necessary. The “fix it in post” mentality.

Even small things like having reference lighting examples from the set can be the difference between an okay outcome and something almost imperceptible.

There’s a lot of other shorr from content. There’s a lot that’s just quick highlights of longer form stuff for instance.

My YouTube Shorts algorithm doesn’t have any of that type of shit in it. Because that’s not the type of stuff that I watch, that’s not the stuff it recommends to be either.

If you’re using a new or privacy focused web profile, it’s going to show a lot of random things because it has no idea what you would want.

Lucifer dared to question his father and was cast out for eternity and demonized for not blindly obeying. Not surprising he’d be a bit salty about that.

IIRC in the Bible Lucifer only kills one person, versus the millions God kills at a whim, usually for disobeying some bullshit he came up with that he never told anyone about.

Satan really just runs the place for God’s undesirables. Why would you want to worship the largest mass murderer in history in the first place though?

Assuming the stories and parables are true, or even based on any sort of reality, which of course they aren’t.

Not sure how this is any different than buying any of the branded fashion bags. Those offer no special or unique functionality, just a name and maybe a specific material design.

You mean the censorship law was woefully ill-conceived and won’t do anything they claim it is supposed to do? Leay it’s definitely a joke, just not the type you’re asking about.

“It is illegal for us to recommend using services like a VPN to bypass these limits. We do recommend you ask your government why they don’t want you to know about these services or have access to free educational content”.

And yet reality shows you are wrong.

Most gamers won’t even understand how to turn on those security features.

Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are usually enabled by default. At least they have been in every build I’ve done or helped with in the last several years. I’m pretty sure Windows 11 requires both anyway, and that’s going to be the majority of users.

As much as people complain about these things on places like Lemmy, the reality is most people don’t care much if at all.

Eh Diamond is okay, as long as it’s artifical. Better clarity and color, not contributing to the blood diamond trade, and a fraction of the price.

That being said, there are a ton of other prettier gems anyway, diamonds are boring as fuck.

A future requirement means the cost of these changes, if required at the end of life, should be factored into the company’s plans for the game already. Not a retroactive cost/burden the company didn’t plan for and may not have the financial resources to spend for already end of life products.

Unless the game was designed to be offline or use alternative server systems, it still requires development time to implement. And as well all know, bugs are a thing, what sort of requirement for support would be required for implementing those changes? Can they just slap something together with AI coding and say that’s what we get? They made the change and they’re done with it?

I never said it did, but at the same time the fact is that those people probably aren’t needed anymore. And they may not be for a year or more for another project. That’s the nature of development like this. A lot of game development is very specific and people are hired for that specific need. Unless the studio is large enough to be handling multiple projects in various stages of development, keeping all those developers on staff that have no work to do for months or years after release doesn’t make sense.

Just pointing out that it shouldn’t be taken by anyone as an indictment of the game or development team, how it was received, or necessarily any future plans. It’s par for the course.

Par for the course after a release at many studios. The positions needed at various steps of production vary. Unless the studio is big enough to be working multiple projects simultaneously and can shift staff around to various teams, hiring and firing for each phase of production is normal.

That’s exactly what I did after Activision fucked over Infinity Ward. I used to play them all the time, but haven’t bought anything Call of Duty since.

Doesn’t mean much, but I’m doing what little I can.

Games as a service can be okay, in some situations. Ones we very rarely see due to (primarily) publisher greed.

If you’re paying for the game itself, at any point, GaaS is stupid and extremely exploitative.

If they choose to go that route however, the game needs to be free to play with separate monetization. They need to mebe things that are completely optional and don’t affect gameplay.

I want to just throw my cursor into a corner without looking and click with the confidence that it will open my start menu.

So change it, that’s a setting that’s been there since day one on W11 to move the Start menu and taskbar stuff back to the left corner.

The start menu is a fucking mess. I really loved the Windows 10 start menu with its tiles and groups. Now you have to manually pin everything, it’s all small icons and you can’t have them in groups. You have to create sub-folders to put the icons in, adding an extra click for nothing.

The tiles were one of the biggest things people complained about on Windows 8 and 10 compared to previous versions. The Windows 11 Start Menu works more like previous versions in this regard, because that’s something people were VERY vocal about wanting back.
