Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?

Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It's only noticeable when the page is loading.

I would be satisfied if Bethesda did stick to their "ancient ways". Focusing more on environments and immersion rather than character-driven storytelling like any other RPG. Of course they did neither for Starfield unfortunately.

I was walking behind two dogs and their owner. I was walking faster than them and one of the dogs looked at me and proceeded to persistently move the other dog to the side so that I could pass. It was absolutely clear it knew what it was doing :)

I'm European. My first thoughts go to immense and diverse cultural heritage, pollution, amazing food, food sickness...

It's not a prediction, {Company} will simply push whatever future that benefits {Company}.

This is just gaming revenue, otherwise Microsoft and Apple would clear.

I agree with holding off on Starfield. Bethesda games are usually instant buys for me but this time I'll probably wait years before buying it. My love for Bethesda games is all about exploration and for some reason they replaced handcrafted story-filled landscapes with procedural generated ones? Hopefully modders make some cool content that is worth exploring in the future :)

I can afford to buy or subscribe to services but at this point streaming is just more annoying than pirating. With pirating I can use my favorite player (mpv), maximize video quality (high quality blu-ray rips), watch offline, no bugs or buffering, instant seeking et.c. As for games I might pirate a game before buying it but usually I just buy it since it's convenient (unless it has intrusive DRM).

Good move. Marketing something for gaming risks devaluing their brand, not because gaming is bad but because there are so many hucksters in that market. A good headphone is a good headphone!

Make another post in 2 months, if it still has no cumstains I accept your proof.

Bethesda have made some of my favorite games, especially Elder Scrolls but this time I'm just not very interested. I read they added procedural generation which seems like the worst choice possible when the strength of their games always has been environmental storytelling (as in you explore and stumble upon things that make the world feel "lived in").

I'll buy the game later, might as well wait for patches, mods and such!

Isn't the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I'm on Linux Mint usually -_-

Windows 11 still feels like a beta... Have they completely given up on quality?
