  • I just can’t get excited for GTA anymore after V, especially with the shark code floodgates being open with that entry.

    Even with all of the good parts of V, I just found the game to be really boring and bland. Might have to do with the setting itself as early 2000s are just nowhere near as interesting as the 80s and 90s were.

    The humor in SA was over the top but never unfunny. Like a playble mashup of all the best stoner movies from that era.

    I have no doubt that VI will look good and probably play good (IV had a much more interesting physics model than V imo) beyond that I expect it to be in the same ballapark as V was.

    Honestly, it was surprisingly clean. I did not go in that far, just a few steps and it just smelled stale / damp.

    I’m thinking maybe the manure was cleaned up by local farmers (for use on their farm fields, which are pretty much right next to this complex).

    Here’s a better picture of the inside. Does this even look like a place cattle would be kept? It’s just too clean.




  • Man the original Bloodlines, even though I never got around finishing it, was such a unique game. Deb of the night, the city, the hotel mission, twins from that club, general atmosphere… an all around great game (I am aware of quality being sub par during the later parts of the game).

    BL 2 looked janky as hell, to a point I think everyone was clear it would flop. I pretty much completely forgot about that game. Just read this morning that they’ve switched devs.






  • Muscle memory, having the cursor / aim be an upredictable variable depending on the speed of the movement feels very wrong to me.

    Floaty feeling, one of the things I try to do first with every Bethseda game is to try and force raw mouse input, otherwise it feels like I’m trying to control a mouse cursor that is sliding on ice.

    I have not tried the RawAccel druver you’ve linked so can’t comment on that.

    I can’t say that this wouldn’t help in some extreme buggy scenarios where the battery mgmt is not able to report / read the current actual battery status, but it would be the last thing I would try and do to resolve such issues.

    EDIT: reading through the comments in the thread you linked, even OP recognizes that it did pretty much nothing but corrected a visual bug on the % of battery available.

    Under no circumatances should you do that to a Lithium battery. That’s a relic from NiMH battery era and was done for specific reasons you can find online.

    Fully draining your Lithium battery will shorten its lifespan. Many new devices have a way to even limit the max charge and keep the battery in the optimal 60-80% range.
