Logitech’s always had issues with scroll wheel or MMB cause they use some cheap parts

their normal mouse button switches also fail
had like 3 or 4 M500 which all failed after 2 years

Never had any mechanical issues on any logi mice myself... only problem I had was the rubbery surface on the G502 became really weird and sticky
I was fondling a MX Master at a shop today, it felt pretty nice

Ye, and you know? Cost is important. They sell a shitton of these prolly so, even the buck they saved went directly into the stonk chart of the CEO.

Right the G502 X is the wireless version of the 502 and it seems pretty similarly priced as the G900
Weird that they'd change them up like that

Good on them.
I used to stream on Twitch and then, stopped. My problem with them is that while streaming, the feed drops sometimes and for no obvious reason whatsoever. The net's fine, ping's fine, etc. etc. and yet, you won't be able to live stream, because their server refuses to acknowledge your connection.
This was a year or so ago, mind you, but if you follow Splattercat, you'll catch the bug still happening today. Sometimes, his videos will get cut after eleven minutes. He's a trooper and tries to stay online repeatedly, so there'll be multiple 'cut' parts for VOD later. 😄

You'd think so. But, those b00bA streamers have the same problems, less frequently of course.
foggy path
None of the streamers I follow have that issue, and I never did either so I'm not sure if this is a very widespread issue
summer cedar
I had the network engineers in my area run a tracert to find out why, but they didn't know much about any of that sadly.
So, I stuck to YouTube, which has its own weird quirks, but not related to live streaming so far, or video uploads.
THEIR problem is accurate view counts. 😄
celest musk
thats a general problem if you finish your work and do cool things
they are there, and you made yourself obsolete
idk how feature complete and stable the modeling tools are, but from my short experience they seem to just do their job well
summer cedar
By the way, if anyone wanted to make a game in the original Unreal engine for nostalgic reasons, or because you are high, there's a Surreal Engine now, based off of the original UE.

Yep.

Half a gig.
a full gig but you only get paid half the rate

Legit ^.
errant raven
512mb, my mistake
summer cedar
Well, you get the 500MB change and 12 extra for a milkshake.
What more do you want?
Actual content? Fixes? 🫢
errant raven
It's nice to know what they fixed without having to guess
I still have a tower boss (and the human that rides it) as a pal, so they didnt patch that bug
summer cedar
Yep. That entire thing can be summarised as, "500 MB changed + 12 MB actual change."
errant raven
Oh, I hope they didnt lock you from fast traveling if you're over encumbered

can we take encumberance and throw it into the sun? like we did with quick time events? please??
proud jay
there's still games with quick time events though
proud jay
and not all quick time events are shit
empty dune
there's still games with quick time events though
yes but its not as prevalent now
proud jay
the real problem with encumbrance is the artificially high barrier
summer cedar
^ yep.
proud jay
if you had encumbrance at like 50kg of weight you carry I could get it
but if you can already carry 1000kg of weight, it's just shit that you can't carry 1001kg
summer cedar
Aye. That extra 1 KG adds character.

I like that in death stranding you can pretty much keep stacking shit, but then walking without dropping anything becomes very hard

Yeah, perfectly viable
summer cedar
That's the bread's fault.
Transport a piece of bread and it ALWAYS clogs up the transporter pipes.
Besides, if your gas cylinder ends up being transported 300 years in the past, look at the bright side; you can time travel and KILL everything there. Starfield: Past Jump DLC - $100

or is it pseudo world wars
can I trigger a world war
and game would say "ye ur on world war"
empty dune
yeah, the easiest way to do that is to nuke something that another nuke power is allied with
if you nuke say kazakhistan with usa, russia will immediately retaliate by nuking anchorage
and from there its nuclear winter
timber viper
so even though I control USA, its actually just about control not siding with USA
empty dune
nuclear winter is actually something you might want to do btw, cause it slows down global warming
timber viper
if US starts annoying me I can tame it somehow
by making another country fight with US
empty dune
so even though I control USA, its actually just about control not siding with US...
you are controlling the usa, you get to decide everything from their foreign policies to their government budget
hehehe
there's so much nonsense you can pull off
@timber viper you can make elderly homes in space and trick the aliens into blowing them up so that all alien aligned factions get atrocities, which reduce their public opinion
or you can send old people up into space and milk cash from their relatives on earth XD
it is very powerful XD
you can also do a full pacifist run, although seeing as eren is going with usa, i doubt that will be happening XD

I watched cyberpunk edgerunners btw
not as good as people made it out to be imo
the last 4 episodes were good
but the 6 before that meh
I also feel like the english voice acting was subpar for a lot of characters
which is strange if they then hire giancarlo esposito to play the fixer
I considered watching japanese but couldn't be bothered for this
also the dialogue when on calls was strange af and the voice acting just very strange for those
I think it's wild to be thrown into if you haven't played cp2077 too

anyone giving the show a 9 or 10 is insane

Ign 7 is a normal 5
They give out 7/10 and then call a game average lmao
