Spuddlesv2,

I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by dorks who don’t realise you’re joking or by dorks who DO realise you’re joking and feel attacked. Either way, sad, silly down voters.

Spuddlesv2,

They are just being clear and accurate with their comms. No need to over think it.

Spuddlesv2,

This stuff always makes me laugh. Firstly, yes absolutely, Microsoft shouldn’t do this sort of crap. But more importantly, the person complaining about it here is shouting out for the world to hear “I don’t know how to manage Windows servers properly!”. There is one single group policy setting that stops this from happening. A single, set-and-forget GPO. Anyone managing Windows environments that isn’t aware of this, shouldn’t be managing Windows environments.

Spuddlesv2,

There is one GPO to disable co-pilot. One. It’s not even hard to find and has been available for more than 6 months.

And yes I would absolutely expect someone whose job it is to manage Windows servers to know about it. And certainly, I would expect them to look it up before declaring to the world how bad at their job they are.

Spuddlesv2,

Like I said, Microsoft shouldn’t do that crap. BUT the co-pilot setting has been around for 6 months. Long enough for any halfway decent sysadmin.

Spuddlesv2,

It wouldn’t have been installed at all if the OP did their job properly and had set the one config option. Microsoft doing shady things is hardly news. That’s why a good Windows sysadmin keeps and eye out for this sort of stuff.

Spuddlesv2,

The OP is re-tooting a toot of a screenshot of a tweet. My (mild) criticism isn’t aimed at OP, nor the OP of the OP, just the original Twitter OP. No one was “blasted” but even if they were, the Twitter OP is not likely to see my comments and have a bad case of the sads from it.

Spuddlesv2,

A 12m stainless steel pedestrian bridge that took 6 years to make and was subsequently “strengthened” to meet safety requirements. Not quite the same thing.

Spuddlesv2,

The whole thing is a storm in a teacup. I’m level 40 in the game and have not once felt the need to even LOOK at the MTX store. The game is complete; the MTX are there if you’re too lazy to be bothered using the in-game travel mechanics. Simple as that.

Spuddlesv2,

The stories in most Nintendo games are weak and mostly pointless. I loved BOTW but strrrrrrrruggled to enjoy TOTK. It just felt too gimmicky. And I adore RDR2, story and gameplay.

Spuddlesv2,

If good quality game help doesn’t get used much why on earth would low quality game help jammed full of “funny” advice and memes be better?

Spuddlesv2,

Ah yes, Reddit, the epicentre of all wokeness.

The mainstream media picked up on it when actual intelligent games producers chimed in to try to defuse the situation you fragile little man babies were trying to stir up.

It is nothing but conspiracy theories.

If you buy into the bullshit conspiracies then you are a hater. Or a moron. Or both. All 200,000 of you.

If you think the curator isn’t a bigot and/or racist and/or misogynist you’re a fucking idiot.

The CEO of SBI being full of hyperbole doesn’t change any of that.

You say you can “decide for yourself” and then list a handful of links to people pushing their own agenda.

Spuddlesv2,

Firstly I’m not American. Not even in the northern hemisphere.

Secondly I could care less about the article, nor the boycott in and of itself. My issue is with the massive man babies trying to turn every attempt at levelling the playing field of life a little as a sinister attack on freedom, justice and the continuation of humankind.

Fence sitting is all fine and dandy but in the end it just means you’ve got a pole up your butt.

Spuddlesv2,

Soooo we can expect an extraction shooter live service with “AI” thrown in there somewhere to appease the CEO.

Just make Titanfall 3. :-(

Spuddlesv2,

I take it you don’t know much about enterprise IT. I guarantee most businesses are running 8-16GB as standard. Where I live an 8GB laptop costs $1400, the equivalent with 16GB costs $1900. And to get 32GB you’re looking at an additional $1600.

Spuddlesv2,

Yes but of course no one wants a clunky-ass 2kg ThinkPad with a 1080p screen. They want a Yoga or Surface Pro. I would like to see you install additional anything in one of those!

An E15 in my country costs $1200 with 8GB soldered-on RAM. Not sure if it has a second memory slot, although I would assume so. But the screen is crap and they weigh twice as much.

Also - who is buying enterprise equipment from Amazon?

Spuddlesv2,

I wish. The DJ would always talk over the start of the songs, and then start jabbering again before it ended.

Spuddlesv2,

You’d read the labels of whatever the hell was within reach. Shampoo bottle, toilet cleaner bottle, soap, whatever.

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

Spuddlesv2,

Please share these articles you speak of. From developers with real world game dev experience. Without pointing me to some 2 hour rambling YouTube video.

And do you seriously think that someone with minimal modding knowledge can “fix” texture compression and the actual devs of the game hadn’t known or thought of doing so too? Say what you will about the Starfield producers and management but I absolutely 100% guarantee you if they chose not to use that feature, it was for very good reasons.

Spuddlesv2,

And BG3 has some pretty gnarly performance issues.

Spuddlesv2,

I’ve only played a little since the new patch but it seems a bit better but my (very mid) PC still struggles performance-wise.

Spuddlesv2,

And if you read the other half of the sentence you quoted?

Spuddlesv2,

You’ve just described a chore you enjoy vs a chore you don’t. If you enjoy it, great, it’s not a chore for you! If you don’t enjoy it, it’s a boring tedious chore.

I found Elden Ring to be aggressively, intentionally designed to waste my time. At no point did I feel any sense of enjoyment. I found Starfield to be a bit lacking in depth and variety but otherwise OK-ish.

Spuddlesv2,

The bigger drawback is that you’re working for Amazon, surely.

Spuddlesv2,

After all the breathless hyperbole from reviewers and Sony it’s a bit of a treat to see them slapped square in the face with reality.

Looking forward to playing this in a couple months when I clear my backlog.

Spuddlesv2,

You can indeed use the mods with the game pass version.

Spuddlesv2,

The Switch Lite doesn’t have removable controllers. So yes way they already did.

What's wrong with the Saints Row reboot again?

I got it expecting to hate it, but as I kept playing, I found myself legitimately enjoying it. Not begrudgingly enjoying it, not enjoying it outside of one or two small details, but actually being engaged in the story and gameplay. Which leads me to wondering why people had a problem with this game in the first place again?

Spuddlesv2,

It’s OK but nothing spectacular. The further you get into it, the more repetitive the missions get though.

Spuddlesv2,

It’s not in PS5 yet either. Doesn’t come out for another week.
