"X" is pronounced "Sh" ๐
Look to the big blue sky or proto-elephant if you want tech stuff. This place is a cesspit and doesn't deserve nice things like that
FYI to anyone I've still been following who might have followed me back: if I've found your account on bsky or masto I'm gonna follow that and unfollow you here. I don't mean to disown you! I just want to feel like there's nothing here for me on a site that makes me feel unhappy.
To say nothing of the barefaced lies about it being the "BEST GAME 2025" or "#1 Sci-Fi Game of 2026!"
I really feel like social media should be subject to truth-in-advertising laws, including ads posted from other countries. Just because they're in China doesn't mean it's okay.
Some Chinese gamedevs have no shame, or might just be deliberately disrespectful. If I saw this ad, for this game, from a western dev, I would assume a psychopath was involved. Who tf would use the Challenger tragedy as a jumping-off point for their game?

@GreenManGaming I think it's just taking too long to talk to the auth server or something. Sometimes that stuff shows up, sometimes not. Maybe it's a sale thing. I'll shut up and just wait it out.
@GentleBen85 @eteekswe @Wario64 I'm pretty sure that when you install AMD's drivers, they actually take over the scheduling to some extent (at least in Win11). So we're not beholden to whatever some MS contractor using AI did without enough subsequent QA.
@GentleBen85 @eteekswe @Wario64 For pure gaming, sure, get the recent 9850X3D (or keep using the 9800X3D you might already have).
But if you do other stuff or you'd like to leave certain stuff open while gaming, and you can afford it, the 9950X3D is totally worth a couple hundred more. Has been for me, anyway.
@GentleBen85 @eteekswe @Wario64 Er, by "not as big a deal", I meant not as big a problem.
Also the 2 CCDs are not considered NUMA nodes like they used to be. I think that was pre-Infinity-Fabric? These days they're almost unified and, with each CCD having a ton of cache, crossing the fabric happens a lot less.
@GentleBen85 @eteekswe @Wario64 A 9950X3D generally edges out the 9800X3D, partially because non-game stuff can go on the other CCD.
No one has the dual-vcache version yet so we have no idea about perf. Dual CCD might not be as big a deal when you have vcache on both CCDs. Some tasks barely talk to each other.
@ManyATrueNerd I know I'm late responding here, but as a gamedev, I actually think the core of the engine is pretty good. I like how it works and how mods work. It's only just their (open world) renderer that sucks, so I kinda hope they'll incorporate the Oblivion Remastered UE5-style renderer.
@ManyATrueNerd The only bright side I see from 76 is that the Austin people actually fixed a bunch of terminally-broken stuff in the Creation Engine that Bethesda could never be bothered to fix.
@EWErickson He's only upset that they aren't doing what he told them to do with enough plausible deniability.
"You're making my life difficult. Very, very difficult. And I don't like people who do that. Nobody likes people who do that. Don't do that."
@99Mortred@DustinMDoyle@ShabbosK I'm not the person who posted the image. I'm only here to comment on the fact that your response to it is full of spin and confirmation bias, not to mention rage, vitriol, and baiting.
@cornerstonetom3@dontforgetchaos@victori97635357@libertytarian There is no question that the current administration violates the constitution on pretty much a daily basis.
Why do YOU support criminals?
Why do YOU want to see Americans beaten and killed?
GTFO of here with your begging-the-question nonsense, ya (probably-paid) propagandist.
@IowanCentrist @DustinMDoyle@ShabbosK Reality is the US gov't is currently being run almost entirely by executive orders from a tyrant, all issued within the past 12 months, which would normally be subject to congressional balances, except his party is a bunch of spineless yes-men letting him rape our constitution.
@cornerstonetom3@dontforgetchaos@victori97635357@libertytarian No, he had a loaded weapon that he always carried legally because he had a permit to do so, just like millions of other Americans, most of whom lean right.
Do you not believe in 2A rights? They exist specifically to protect the people against the government turning tyrannical.
@cornerstonetom3@dontforgetchaos@victori97635357@libertytarian The man in the gray coat is the ICE agent who took the gun out of the holster in the small of Alex Pretti's back. Alex Pretti was wearing a brown coat and is on the ground to the left under an ICE dogpile. You are the victim and/or the perpetrator of misinformation.
@99Mortred@DustinMDoyle@ShabbosK I wasn't talking about the rights of people who have entered illegally and have deportation orders, but you go on and have fun trying to re-frame what's happening here in America, Mr. Shitposter-in-Slovakia.
