Not sure about adaptation, but all of their games have atrocious performance problems. Bloober is like, the King of Stuttering. Definitely doesn't help that they use Unreal now, but even when they released Layers of Fear and _observer, the performance of their games have always been bad.

In 1999, the SEGA Dreamcast was the fastest selling video game console when it launched. In 24 hours, it sold a little over 225k units (which was massive for the tiny gamer population of 1999). This earned it the Guinness World Record for Most Revenue Generated in the Entertainment Industry in 24 Hours.

Console sales at launch literally don't matter.

Also, I wonder how many of those were sold to scalpers that plan on returning them if they cannot sell them?

EDIT: For reference, the PlayStation 1 sold 300k consoles in Japan only when it launched, but not in 24 hours, that 300k is for the entire launch month of December 1994, per Sony's own official business data.

I wouldn't say fixed, because nothing can be done about lag from a wireless device. But it definitely can be lowered.

Zotac? Did they do something about the like 100 brand new factory sealed RTX 5090 GPUs that had 3 backpacks instead of the card yet?

Oof. Awkward. Well thanks anyways, lol. To you and Kuro.

And then realized they actually did need all that stuff and have been bringing it back with extra steps, and worse lol.

Thanks, I had to manually update for some reason. Its fixed, but I feel like I used to get thumbnails for linked sites as well, like a preview or something. Maybe I am just hallucinating it. Either way, thanks for the quick response and fixes, your app has come a long way and I hope to continue to see its improvement.

The last time I played R6 Siege was when it still had a singleplayer component, literally it just came out. IQ was my main.

I have absolutely zero desire to play it again.

They werent even trying to hide it either.

Jyn Erso? Seriously? Just keep her real name, Jan Ors. Thats the most "at home" character naming laziness I think I have ever seen.

Thats like calling Kylo Ren "Darth Shmader" lol.

Yeah, Reddit is way closer to center than Lemmy is lol.

Thats not to say that Reddit isn't also Left Leaning, just that Lemmy leans Left way more than Reddit.

Beast of Reincarnation looked really cool. That's about it though.

Thumbnails aren't working for me at all anymore, at least yours still load. I might try deleting the cache and relogging but I doubt it would change anything.

Nintendo made a very smart business move that is extremely anti-consumer:

They removed themselves from competing with Sony and Microsoft.

People don't think "Should I buy Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation?" They think "Should I buy Xbox or PlayStation, in addition to Nintendo?"

Great business move, because consumers are buying Nintendo up more than before. Extremely bad for consumers because now we are seeing how Sony acts when they have only one real competitor: keeping console exclusives, raising prices, and enforcing PS Accounts for offlline singleplayer games.

If Microsoft drops Xbox hardware, PlayStation will have zero competition and gain a monopoly on the console hardware market. Then they can raise the prices to be whatever they want. What are you gonna do, buy an Xbox that doesn't exist?

Honestly, I don't see any real reason anyone should be able to see anyone else's votes that isn't nefarious. The only reason people would want to see how others vote is to be able to call a hate mob to harass someone for "voting wrong."

Regardless, people should be allowed to vote however they want, even if that means its not the way you or I would have voted a comment or post. People vote on posts and comments for a trillion different reasons. Someone might agree with a comment but they feel it is off-topic or de-railing the conversation so they downvote it, and then you get terminally online serial harassers attacking them because "they don't agree" or some other awful reason.

Ultimately, this ends in posts getting no more down votes, except for maybe spam posts, and then upvotes also being low because nobody wants to get attacked for how they vote on posts. Certainly a great way to ruin engagement in an online platform, IMO.

Like, just remove votes entirely at that point.

Let's not weaponize people's votes, thanks. Probably the single worst "feature" added to Lemmy.

If I had more disposable income I would probably get one, but the global economy is so garbage right now I can barely afford my basic utilities.

Z-up is really only common among architectural or engineering type software. CAD and other types of software, for example.

Y-up is common among basically all other types of software. DirectX API is Y-up, for example. Which means anything that interacts with DirectX that has Z-up needs to convert the axes first before doing its calculation (a literal nothing cost microoptimization, but could be big depending on the software and platform).

It's probably fine to leave as is in the long run, but its just annoying to me that I need to convert between the axes in Blender export settings, and would be more convenient if all the software I use used the same system, which is now Y-up. Blender is literally the only one. Honestly, I agree that it should be a user setting in Preferences, but I dont know if Blender is programmed to handle this or if it would need to be entirely rewritten.

Again, Sony is NOT participating in the ending of exclusives and continues to push timed exclusivity.

Extremely anti-consumer and anti-gamer.

I sure hope Blender does this soon. Very annoying workflow using it with Y-up software.

Galactic Genocide never looked so juicy before...

No seriously, you might want to get on that. End game lag is atrocious with more survivng civs.
