@Biffa2001 @ColossalOrder If they're mandating paradox mods and taking CS2 away from the workshop, on top of the horrible launch today then I'm not interested in the game anymore. Which is sad, I was looking forward to it. :(

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ColossalOrder I told you so. I'm not happy about being right. But this game should not have been released.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ColossalOrder @CaesarSteels Or maybe don't release a game that's unoptimized. It's not rocket science.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

I've decided not to pre-order the game because of these stats, which is sad because I've been looking forward to it all year but my hardware is going to run this game worse than Cyberpunk 2077.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

Credit to @CityPlannerYT for benchmarking. @ColossalOrder — These stats for Cities Skylines 2 are concerning and I am really hoping you guys find a way to improve these before launch day or make the decision to delay the game a little longer. [1]

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

It's important to note that most of the people who'll be buying this are going to have poor performance on launch day by the looks of it. [2]

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ColossalOrder @cripuskas The game has poor performance even with the rec. specs. Ignoring the fact most people have hardware below those specs is going to result in this game being a flop on launch day. Come on, CA, delay the launch if need be to fix the game. I will happily wait for a working product.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ColossalOrder Even IGN acknowledges you guys have made a major oversight in your optimization: https://t.co/bVRSid5QZJ - The framerate is atrocious on a /3080/. And again, most people have cards around 1660/1650 with lower CPUs than your rec specs.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ColossalOrder : https://t.co/67sWgB24EJ : Did you guys actually do any testing on the typical hardware people have these days? Your recommended spec of 3080 GPU covers just 2% of the current market on Steam. By the looks of it,CS: 2 may be a flop on launch day over performance

@YouTube Hey, @YouTube I value my privacy and security, and I'm concerned about the ads and scams on your platform. Instead of blocking users who use adblockers, why not focus on improving ad quality & security? Users should have the choice to protect their data. 🛡️ #PrivacyMatters

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

So, look at this. Half a million ads blocked in my time online. Furthermore, you guys have a knack for screwing over YouTube creators, something that has led to the rise of third-party donations such as Patreon or services such as Nebula. So no, I won't be disabling it.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

Oh, the irony. I will not be removing my adblocker @YouTube — And here's why: You are incapable of screening your adverts for scams or malware. Your adverts, like everyone's, slow down your web pages and degrade my experience as a user. Especially because they are often [1]

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

obtrusive, annoying, and invasive. I would sooner just not use YouTube than disable my adblocker. I have used one for over a decade. I have had zero malware in that time, the difference before has been striking. And I have enjoyed a better browsing experience. [2]

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@CyberpunkGame @CDPROJEKTRED I have enjoyed the 2.0 update. Amazing I can get such good shots on an older 1650 but I had to stop at this part in the story and just snap a picture. Jackie finally made it to the big leagues. 🥲

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@tomwarren I'll also add that the game industry needs to stop designing games around the premise that people are running around like they have $20K rigs. Streamers are partly to blame, albeit involuntarily, for this. The median card used by people is going to be a 1650

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@tomwarren I had to come back to Twitter just to point out that Todd Howard is a twat. People are having issues with 30xx and 40xx cards on a range of high-end CPUs. Stop blaming the consumer for your incompetence in polishing anything other than your turds you absolute walnut. Need I [1]

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@tomwarren remind that this is the same bullshit attitude that got the company sued several times before over the Fallout 76 fiasco. I swear, Bethesda would go miles further if they just showed him the door and found someone that didn't make an asshat of themselves every time they spoke.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@RpsAgainstTrump Yes

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@ms_simsimma If I’m sick, definitely. Otherwise, no. But I’m fully vaccinated and cases are low so.

[Teagan Roarke @Teaganautic]

@RpsAgainstTrump Yep
