This is true of a lot of restaurant foods. They have no sense of restraint with butter or salt (or sugar for sweet things), of course the stuff they make tastes better.

Riot is particularly bad at managing the community around the game, and that is something they’d need to really improve for an MMO audience.

In hindsight, yeah. But the game started development long before the next gen consoles were a thing.

It is absurd, because if you want to talk about the great sins of any system they are far worse than a video game not working well on release and that some people got overworked while it was getting made.

Doubtful. It’s not going to lose them money, just not make as much as they’d hoped. It sucks in the short term for them but it’s still going to be profitable overall.

You can’t make em sound like a Harley engine without deliberately fucking up the tuning either. They could easily make more power, but they wouldn’t sound the same and the sound is a much bigger reason why people buy Harleys.

Yeah, my example is heavily situation dependent. There’s 100+ apartments on the property, so the scale is a bit different than a guy who has 2 or 3 rental properties under his control.

And none of those lights would pass the current test. The lights that do are significantly more expensive than the type of lights you’re talking about.

This kind of logic is why the cheapest car for sale in America is so god damned expensive, and I bet it still has bad headlights.

This should come with a trigger warning.

I agree that $1200 probably wouldn’t be all that effective, just more effective than basically everything else being done. Paying rent also does have some stimulating activity. My complex employs a few people at the leasing office, along with a few handymen for repairs. They buy new appliances, repaint apartments,…

Same can be said of SUVs or trucks, or sports cars, or basically anything that isn’t a Camry. You’re not using the vast majority of those vehicles’ capability the vast majority of the time.

The answer is “We’re not diving on this grenade for CDPR, and even involving ourselves in the conversation is more than we legally have to do so we’re not doing it”.

Kudos to the generous tippers.

Interesting.

At least on PC someone will probably find a way to mod in bug fixes even if CDPR drops the ball. The unofficial Skyrim patch mods come to mind.

Having worked at Geek Squad many years ago (our counter was right next to the Customer Service counter) you are spot on. There is literally nothing on Earth that the general public cannot blame on a customer service rep.

Correlation is not causation. Did they control for any other factors of heart disease over those 10 years? Maybe everyone involved smoked like a chimney and what they drank effectively didn’t matter. Lots of things cause heart disease, if you’re not controlling for them you can’t draw solid conclusions.

Knowing Porsche, they charged $15k to put LESS stuff on it.

This is all very scummy and worth writing about. I question whether a review of Cyberpunk 2077 is the right place to do it. People are looking for a review of the GAME, not the PUBLISHER.
