It is a real thing. Very few people have identical ears on both sides of their head, and almost no one shares the same shape with another person. There's a few active implementations of this on truly wireless earbuds, but the latency makes it irrelevant for most things except music. Depending on just how unique the ear shape is, it can drastically change how things sound.
In no capacity should it be a paid feature in a game, though. In a more competitive game with a lot of value placed on audio like Escape From Tarkov, this would completely change the game and how it is played.
TLDR: Your ears are unique, and your brain spends your entire life from the moment your ears are hearing things, tuning to them.
That is certainly true, I guess I needed to specifically call out that he actually does reply. And this has been a constant recurring "rediscovery" every few years that GabeN personally responds to that email.
That also wasn't the particular point I was even talking about. The point was that a previous dev would most likely still have connections inside Valve given how easy it is for outsiders. And that even if they had zero connections, again, it would be super easy to get a response.
This is all just speculation, but a relatively confident one.
Honestly, knowing how easy it is for just about anyone to contact GabeN (his email is publically accessible) and that this was a previous tester, I would say there's decent odds they're already contacted someone to make sure or already had permission to do so in some roundabout way. I have no way of knowing for sure, obviously, but it is super weird for this to pop up without the finder messaging anyone in Valve about it.
Either, just to be safe.
Yes, locking up your wheels is bad. The same is true on a car. It is good that on small mechanical systems with feedback, it is easy to not lock up the tires.
On top of that, many ebikes have regenerative breaking, which makes it easy to maintain a good speed.
I feel like you're missing that the brakes on current (decent/non-shit) bikes are quite satisfactory. And that cyclists normally dont ride at 28mph, unless going downhill. And that regardless of vehicle, it is up to the rider to be safe for the conditions.
The braking characteristics are not all that different from a normal bike to an ebike, provided they weren't deliberately ignored. Ebikes having a lower centre of gravity also helps this. If you want to whine about ebikes going 28m/h, you should also be complaining about 80% of the cyclists out there.
Most people that do longer rides would be fine with that. On downhill sections you can hit that easily enough, and there's wind too. It's definitely fast, but it's fine enough. It doesn't matter what you're driving or riding, you always drive to the conditions anyways.
IIRC that's correct. Their paperwork is only strictly defining a man and woman, not just "two persons" or something like that.
Just because they failed QA doesn't mean they failed marketing or won't be released anyways. That's the big wigs forcing shit through.
There's a reason different genres exist. For some, not having a challenge or competition is inherently unfun, others might not have fun in single player games. Generally speaking a game that doesn't challenge you at all though, isn't fun for many. Not that they cannot be fun at all, Animal Crossing is one of the larger games around, but it certainly cannot fill the "game" void for everyone.
Um dawg I couldn’t even get into a game with a friend when we tried the other day because of the 'OnCreateSessionComplete Delegate bWasSuccessful == False' errors. I’m sure it’ll be fixed in time.
Very true, I had heard that one popping up but for the live streams I saw it seemed to go away with time or at random.
Fair enough to temper expectations, it is after all an early access title. They still seem to be handling things better than the ARK devs is all I was getting at. I literally have not been able to play it once, since purchase, outside of joining random public servers and having a uh... "Rust" ^(cough turboracism cough) type of experience if that makes sense.
You'd have a point, if the comparison wasn't between a decade plus old game and one that released in the last week, as early access. ARK is genuinely one of the single worst experiences to try and get into, and has multi year long bugs that haven't been touched.
I haven't bought Palworld, but you can actually launch the game, and join your friends in a few minutes tops. I have attempted to play with friends on ARK. Repeatedly. I have yet to actually do so, even after self hosting my own server on a couple occasions. IMO, this makes ARK as a title and game to play, completely worthless.
I mean yea they did but also gestures vaguely at PayDay3.
Genshin and league of legends are both free, how do you think people (collectively) spend millions on them year over year?
I feel like that argument could be made for some things, but inherently cannot apply to companies involved in personal, genetic, or financial information.
Discord got problems... but none of those things I've encountered. Save for the
- Please read the rules before being able to even fucking read anything :3
And are you really going to complain about being shown the rules of the place before use? You got a point on notifications too but that's it. Annoying, but easy to deal with (right click server, disable notifications, boom done that's it.)
The other shit I could be easily convinced you're straight up making up.
And without getting into the varieties of hiking/trail running/etc. You can easily encounter situations in that genre alone that necessitate 2 or more. Waterproof or not, trail running vs hiking vs thruhiking, the list goes on and on.
Editting to add: this isn't unique to hiking either, you'd find similar variations in runners too. Endurance, sprint, or agility (among others) running are all different enough you'd have genuine performance and health reasons to separate the shoes. Obviously hardly anyone will dedicate to that many unique activities, but some people really enjoy them so it's worth explaining.
That's actually what current quantum computers look like. The chips themselves are reasonably small, but the whole metal apparatus you see is there to keep it close to 0° kelvin, as the quantum bits kinda just "dissolve" if they're not in a superconducting state. Not super knowladgable in this area, but that's my layman's understanding.
