  • China will remove canola tariffs if Canada scraps EV levies: ambassador

    Jump

  • It's a serious security hole cause the software can be updated through network, the version gets audit and all the follow up update can be good, but the moment it needs to go rogue you just need 1 malicious update to have serious and wide spread harm/attack on a button.

    IMO for any vehicles to allow over the network update is beyond stupid. (yes, that includes Tesla.)

  • Sony Removes Multiformat Revenue from Strategic Indicators [sign of a possible shift away from PC's ports]

    Jump

  • I am saying it's irrelevant how we feel about it, how we think they should adjust, etc. They adjust by sheer numbers only, look at PS Plus pricing and tiers. I cancelled my sub and haven't care about it, many people that are vocal also did. But yet their number is good enough so they stick with that increase.

    Jump

  • They have like team of people specialized in pricing a game, so whatever we feel is too high, too low, too fast or too slow is irrelevant. All we players can do is wait until the price feels right for you or when the update/support for pc features is justified. (say, I only buy with proper ultrawide support and unlocked fps. )

    Jump

  • They have the numbers, if they don't have good enough sales, Sony wouldn't speed up those ports and their release schedule.

  • Hive Lords are being encountered in the gloom

    Jump

  • Good stratagems against it, don't expect everyone can follow if you don't have a pre-made party. (as there are host/players just want to complete the mission and ignore this bullet sponge.) For killing it:(150k health)

    • Orbital Laser : high DPS, with burning damage.(don't know the multiplier yet, waiting for data miner. but big enemy usually have higher fire tick damage. )
    • Orbital Gatling Barrage: AP5 so throw at the ground where it emerge belly side), high enough DPS, you should be able to land almost all shots(9s duration) because the size of it.
    • ATE(anti-tank emplacement): if someone can escort you it offer very good AT rounds(30) and damage.
    • Patriot Exosuit: 14 AP6 rocket @ 1250 damage. If you have a friend one bring Emancipator Exosuit that can shoot a lot of shots(200) @ 300 damage when any of the armor is blown off. Exosuits are really good dealing with tunnel situation, but do not walk on the bridges, as exosuits will collapse them.
    • Commandos: slightly higher damage 4 shots than EAT, shoot and forget.
    • Portable Hellbomb: long cool down and some mission objective does require it. you usually can't get close enough to get the max damage if you are not close enough when it emerge, as it has certain range around it's root that cause tremor and hard to walk closer. (bomb max damage range is 25m after 25m the damage fall off pretty fast. )
    • Recoilless Rifle: if running with a friend with assisted reload + resupply backpack, you just need 47 shots. a full RR + resupply back pack gives you 7 + 3*4 = 19 shots. supply hellpod pack can refill "full" ammo if you have the upgrade(Superior Packing Methodology) so make sure only the guy have that upgrade calls supply pod. thus a supply pod has 6*4 = 24 shot. if you have the resupply back pack ready to drop before you engage, you can kill the hivelord in about 3~4 times it emerge from ground. 19 shots + 24 shots + another 12 shots from new resupply backpack fills. (resupply backpack do not benefit from that ship upgrade.)

  • 32 GB of RAM Could Become the New Standard for Gamers, According to Steam Survey

    Jump

  • Pretty much the system ram : vram ratio should be about 2x to have some wiggle room(both for OS and other things running in background). most of previous gen GPU have 68G vram thus 16G is kinda standard. But now with GPU heading toward 1216G as standard(for non-flagship), 32G would be better so game can hold more things in system ram before they stream upload to GPU.

  • FBI says it's now seized "multiple" ROM piracy sites, claims downloads resulted in $170m losses in just three months

  • there is a reason humble bundle's pay what you want model worked, lol. I bet if humble bundle allows company to get data back for pricing analysis, it would greatly help the indies.

  • Switch 2 owner banned for playing second-hand Switch 1 games

    Jump

  • Found the comment who know what's going on plus the gold points redeem below. We know the cart is unique thus I don't buy used game on grey market for switch.(facebook/craigslist) Too risky.

  • Weeks after changing owners Nexus Mods updates rules on "illegal" and "adult" content, but even the original owner says calm down, it's purely about following the law or being "fined out of existence"

    Jump

  • it slow but people that likes to do archive should have their own mirror of things.

  • Starting August 26, buying or upgrading to the Super Citizen Edition will grant players with a Warbond token to unlock any single Warbond instead of specifically Steeled Veterans

    Jump

  • As a lazy grinder I wish they allow me to buy warbond tokens to just unlock everything in a warbond.

  • Rematch || Review Thread

    Jump

  • long time rocket league player and have about 20 hours from open beta + release combined. Have to say RL's netcode and physics still remain unbeatable, while Rematch tries to hide their input lag during live match through animation length, it's very obvious when you played long enough and have those wonky lag or desync/rubberbanding even on connection <60ms average.

    The game have good fundamentals, but I doubt it will have good skill ceiling for longer term as the main ranked mode is 5v5 which relies on positional play. The dev didn't mention quite a bit of things in terms of mechanics but players slowly converge to explain things off experience. Like, when you have the boost on, you have higher priority when trying to hit/pass the ball then player that does not activate it. At the moment, because of the lag/desync, person have good ball control/possession have advantage over people trying to defend if purely in a 1v1 situation. If you are goalie/sweeper since it has some modifier to make defending easier, but still most goals are scored 1v1 against goalie because of the options available to attacker and the boost committed shot/pass shot.

    5v5 ranked also mean people who solo queue will have much tougher time to grind through ranks to get where people can pass reliably or position proper.

    I wish them have more time focus on making the netcode good and reliable and then tweak the options for defender to force a more position/passing heavy game.

  • The Guardian and Cambridge University scientists deploy new open source technology

    Jump

  • So encrypted, periodical interval to mask out any incoming/out going variance in traffic I wonder how they mitigate the backend part as there might be a ton of wasted traffic to hide the actual traffic. since they obviously need a lot of users to hide the whistle blower, but that also mean their backend needs to be pretty smart to handle lots of traffic and still consume energy to decrypt and then throw away the "noise" data.

  • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review Thread

    Jump

  • yeah the director's cut seems to make the progression much smoother. I am just like maybe 1/3 into it, maxed out connections so far each for new stations I get to. (5 stars on my leg so far.)

    I do understand the need for those forced encounters, now I got gears to handle I need to remember to turn off the slow mo when encounter them. XD

  • Hell is Us terrifies in all the best ways

    Jump

  • there is a demo you can play now, don't know if it gets removed after the fest finished.(edit: checked, it's not available tomorrow after fest finished.) pretty basic combat system, don't know if they are gonna extend better. (not likely cause they release in Sep)

  • New apps help immigrants navigate Trump’s deportation crackdown

    Jump

  • thanks for taking the time explain the details. I guess when working against gov level tracking you need Tor/VPN/etc to stay safe.

  • New apps help immigrants navigate Trump’s deportation crackdown

    Jump

  • depending on how they implement it. ie. the covid map and wild fire map apps from the BC gov doesn't actually pull any information from your phone except location if you turn on the proximity alert. IF enough people download the app it would be very hard to locate the user even if you have location alert. It is a good idea to download EVEN if you are not in the targeted group cause projectiles won't stop mid air because you don't look like Latino. Simply be near the area of active raid carries risk.

    It can be done proper and be great help for people either want to avoid be in the area or trying to help out fellow human beings.

  • As fans reject Switch 2 game-key cards, former Nintendo marketing leads say it's unlikely that physical games will ever "100% go away," because "they realize the importance of that"

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with what you said and usually nintendo game has better version 1 than many other publishers that requires GBs of day 1 patch. Basically, their game is pretty broken and only past the certification to send to gold. But that's "in the past", I am just saying that we should not rely on past experience when comment about the current polices and trends. If nintendo is moving toward key cards, even if it's something pushed by other publisher, we can and will see the impact of this for other platforms' physical sales.

    This is basically the 2nd round of push to pure digital and that's nintendo's attempt.
