“Apple haven’t been known for their hardware” negates absolutely any credibility to your arguments. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Apple’s industry and cultural influence.

This statement was true in the late 80s and early 90s before Jobs came back, but since literally the iMac, Apple is absolutely “known for their hardware” first and their also-worthy-of-switching-costs software second.

As a company, they value and pursue these equally, or at least intend to, but from the outside, putting software first, especially for mainstream appeal is just…false.

Could it be? A quiet prayer for all of us languishing in deadgame to mutter?

HotS2 confirmed. 😆

I use Mimestream. It’s a beautiful, well-made Mac app (for now, iOS coming soon) by a developer who clearly cares about making a quality product that adheres to the platform’s design language and usage idioms.

I absolutely do not begrudge him for wanting to make a living from it, and currently subscription is one of the only effective ways to do that for small devs.

I also don’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t like it. We all get to use our money how we see fit.

I love Unread. Its design goes out of its way to focus on the reading experience, not filtering, not “triage”, just beautiful, readable text of the sites you subscribe to and the basic management features to add or remove.

I also love that Unread has “saved articles” which lets you use that same interface and readability for random articles you find, without having to subscribe.

Used it for years, happily pay the subscription for premium.

I actually prefer KB+M for precision on things like Penetrating Shot damage on consecutive hits. However, there’s no way to walk with KB+M. And I just like strolling or swaggering through a place, especially when I first reach a new area. It’s like immersion vs precision, and it really bugs me that I can’t have both! 😆

 

What it says on the tin. I’m currently in Act III (no spoilers, please 🙂) somewhere close to the end of it, if I’m guessing correctly, and I’ve been noticing the game getting more and more choppy the farther I go.

At first I just thought it was the main town, but then it happened in the enemy town/prison, then in the mountain area, then on the way to Kehjistan, each progressively worse in terms of stutters, frame drops for no apparent reason, and lag (complete with teleportation and massive input delay).

Scosglen was worse than Fractured peaks (in which I didn’t notice this problem except rare occasions). Dry Steppes is worse than Scosglen. I’m worried I’ll have to mail my input commands to Blizzard and wait for the USPS to return my results by the final acts! 😆

I can only think it must be a network condition problem, but on Blizzard’s side. I have 1Gb down and low pings, no other traffic on my network (or similar traffic during the day as when I play other games online).

My machine, an AMD 5600X with 3060ti and an NVMe drive, running at 1440p with DLSS on Balanced, hovers at 150+ fps when conditions are good.

Anyone else experiencing this sort of progressive performance degradation, or are the servers really just getting hammered that badly? Maybe someone has a remedy to try?

Anyway, loving the game, and all of this is in good spirits. Not looking to create a hate-fest in the comments. Just wondering if I’m not the only one who notices this stuff.

I’d strongly recommend Mlem if you were an Apollo user!

1% vs 100% comeback to win, on Shrines if I recall.

Whoa. What an amazing resource! I’m an advocate for buying the adventures and sourcebooks, but this so much more straightforward than DnD Beyond for basic reference use, even when you already own the materials!

Where do you get Limbo?

[–] Dietlama 1 points 2 years ago

I really like the idea of being able to fill up a pass you bought at your own pace. I’d be much more likely to buy one in that case.

Thanks! I honestly couldn’t say what it was before I posted that. I’m glad someone was keeping track.

I wouldn’t know, so I’ll trust your expertise in the area. I was just relaying my experience, which in the release version has only been rogue. 🍻

 

Where are all my “dead game” enthusiasts out there? Glad to see someone set up a community for us out here in Fedi-land. 😎

I’ll see you… in the Nexus.
