Re: Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'

Because it goes to show how shoddy the game is, and completely exposes their BS about needing an upgrade. It's lazy development, end of story. With a $1k card, you get the hardware you pay for and it can do what is advertised. You pay for a $70 game that claims it's next gen and is optimized, and yet it somehow looks like a game from 10 years ago and can't even properly utilize this top-of-the-line piece of hardware that works fine with everything else. The money itself isn't the issue. It's the value for your dollar.

I hope you're trolling and not just that dumb. A simple Google search would show you that is incorrect. Elementary school level research... It's a thing...

Re: The Witcher producer blames Americans and impatient young people for the Netflix show's simplified plot

A lot of people are addressing the ridiculous digs at Americans, but not enough people are addressing his unfounded criticisms of "young people." He says young people don't have attention spans, but who is he talking about? 8 year olds; kids who wouldn't be watching this anyways? Or is he talking about young adults; the people who made the medium of the long-form podcast explode in popularity? Either way, he's wrong. But you go on and keep posting your old-man-yells-at-cloud.bmp dude, and we'll see how far that gets you. What a moron...

Exactly this. You can't blame people hating your show on broader appeal if you literally did the opposite. You alienated your actual audience because you thought your target audience was everyone. Anybody with even the slightest education or even common sense knows that avoiding that pitfall is rule number one of defining your target audience. BUT I GUESS THAT'S JUST EUROPEAN EDUCATION FOR YOU. See what I did there?

Americans haven't shown that. His terrible explanation of a lesser-known historical event showed that nobody can follow his stories. He's just blaming it on Americans because it's easy to call Americans dumb to excuse his own lack of self-awareness.

Hah. It's funny because the guy who does Bender's voice also does Jake's voice.

I've got to say, the bush assets seem to need some work. They are very flat, and the edges of the intersecting sprite planes are very noticeable. It makes for a pretty unconvincing bush. I could see how it might be useful as an inexpensive asset to put in the background or as a low detail bush to display while the player is at a distance, but if that's the goal, I don't think that they are being utilized correctly in this case. I realize that pretty much everything is W.I.P., but I don't feel that the bushes reflect the quality of all the other assets that you have in the scene. Please note that I'm trying to give some constructive criticism, so flamers please refrain from flaming.

The shop assets are looking great! And I'm totally envisioning some of that pottery being used as potion bottles in an RPG mod.

The normal map alpha tinting masks are AWESOME. I can't recall seeing this in any other games and it'll be GREAT for adding variety to assets with practically no cost at all. Very exciting!

Re: Leaked Netflix apk Comes to All Devices (with a little root magic) [UPDATE: bug fix]

---ATTENTION---
For those of you who can't get it working:
Download the apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers...
Use "Nexus One" and "HTC" for the device and manufacturer instead, because if you are on Android 2.2, using the Nexus S won't work (Netflix only supports Android 2.3 Nexus S phones). Using "Nexus One" will work for both 2.2 and 2.3.
This should work.

If there's going to be weapon racks, the weapons NEED to be usable. I HATE playing a game and seeing a weapon rack sitting there with a bunch of weapons that my character should be able to wield, but the game doesn't let me pick them up. Completely breaks immersion.

Well, aren't you ungrateful? First of all, they didn't have to release their editor, and it's quite clear they never intended to, but they decided they would do something nice and release it anyways. And it goes without saying that they're also being extremely generous by joining in this Humble Indie Bundle and allowing people like you to basically scrape their games off of them for next to no money. If I were you, I'd quit my complaining and realize that the world doesn't bow to you.

I bought Bioshock day one. Bought it within minutes of the store opening. Installed it within about an hour of my purchase. Was on the phone with the tech support minutes after that attempting to get past the activation which was giving a cryptic error message. DRM is just so fun.

Weird. The only thing I can think of is to clear your cache. Also, I'm on the dev channel of Chrome.

I think it might have something to do with Google Chrome. I loaded youtube in firefox and it looked the same as before, but it looks like the screenshot in Chrome for me.

It might only be enabled for Google Chrome at the moment. I just loaded up youtube in firefox and it didn't look any different, but the change is quite apparent in Chrome.

They are indeed. The main page currently remains unchanged, but click on a video and you'll most definitely notice a change. A completely new layout, rating system, comment system. etc.

They are completely revamping the site.
