I honestly though I would get used to it, like the forced 2-2-2 comps which I initially disliked, but I never did. It just made the game feel like too much more like a pure fps. And it not feeling like that was what made it unique.

In my experience all the que times were fine as 2-2-2 even when queued as duo dps

Ehh I disagree, I played consistently ow1 for years and ow2 just wasn’t as good.

I mainly missed tank synergies. Without it the game just wasn’t the same. The other tank changes were just insane too. And I preferred the full 6v6 experience.

Then they had to go an monetize the shit out of it, when I already paid for the game! The last straw was either paying for new characters or grinding like hell.

Imo your best bet is to see if you can find someone else’s used gaming computer.

Roughly ~400$ gets you pretty far for hardware 3-5 years old

The energy efficiency will be much worse, so depending on how much you use it you may want to account for that and get slightly newer.

In my personal experience look start in amd’s Am4 platform, as it’s quite upgradable up to a 5800x3d.

But to start something like a 2700x or 3700x are solid cpus.

Equivalent Intel cpus are an option too.

As for gpus look for 1000s series nvidia 1070-1080 and onwards. Less than might be too weak.

Similar for amd. Vega 56/64, 5700xt etc.

Huh the 1080ti came out 7 years ago, so I was a bit off.

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.

Ehh mastodon and lemmy don’t see a ton of cross talk. Threads is mainly going to affect mastodon instances.

Yeah the strategy is : don’t cannibalize ice profits by releasing sensible evs.

The actual paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11100893/

It’s still a preprint, and I didn’t see the exact figure but definitely concerning.

People didn’t buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

Enough money to buy Activision-Blizzard and Bethesda, but not enough to actually pay for developers or marketing.

Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.

Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that’s already done better in the cloud.

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that’s still pretty far.

I’d love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

It does raise a pretty big problem though.

How did it end up with no dark matter? We don’t have a good answer usually.

Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

Another example would be deadspace 3.

Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

I don’t like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don’t seem to be as rare.

Is it just me or is PvE distinct from co-op?

Helldivers is PvE

Baldurs gate is co-op

These are very different categories and experiences.

100 nano seconds is 0.1 micro seconds, so not quite.

I imagine double digit is 99 ns or less

It’s not to late, cook it a little more and the garlic flavor will become mild.

I don’t think you can stop then from spawning, but a bunch of boats can effectively capture them until they despawn. I’ve seen a more complicated raid farm design that uses them to help them off of afk players in the kill box.

It could be, but making a game about alternate time lines with Paul atreides is not the setting I would choose for a dune MMO. It sounds like it would be a fantastic single player game setting.

Personally I like the idea of MMOs but have yet to find one I actually like.

Sounds like something a nazi would say.

And if they wanted their own little naziverse on the fediverse nobody could stop them, but compared to every other social media platform most of lemmy deplatformed and banned nazis, while they get privileged status on Facebook or Twitter.
