Part of the point of vrr for the end user is to simplify worrying about settings and your system performance, isnt it? The average person is gonna pick a graphics preset and play. If the game feels smooth off the rip, thats the preset theyll stick with. They arent going to make sure that the heaviest scenes stay above their LFC threshold. They don’t even know what half this shit means. And arguably they wont even notice LFC stutter in the first place, which is probably why, like you said, manufactures dont care to make the threshold lower.

To be clear though i agree with you. I do manage settings to keep my minimum where i like it. And having an older gsync chipped monitor which lets me put that minimum around 45fps is quite nice for path traced games and the like.

I also want to be able to replace this monitor someday and not lose that option.

With constant frametime its fine, but games don’t have constant frametime which is the whole point of vrr in the first place.

Yeah it feels premature since so many freesync displays still only go to 48hz.

Maybe if the mediatek chip can go to 30hz then VESA will update.

Gsync modules have a lower sync window before LFC kicks in (usually around 30), and faster pixel response (overdrive) anywhere in the sync window. Those are benefits for both high framerate content and low framerate content.

Even today freesync usually bottoms out around 48. That constantly puts you at the LFC boundary for a lot of AAA games if youre on a popular midrange graphics card and aiming for 60fps average.

Only in single player though.

Multiplayer reload speed is a knob for balance.

Those would only be preinstalled if your motherboard has the requisite hardware and you download the drivers and the utilities it wants you to download. They arent preinstalled in any windows ive used, pc or even laptops. Theres a lot of shitty bloatware out there, but intel is hardly worth mentioning in that arena. And theres such better things to make fun of them for too, lol.

Depth to movement mechanics is one of the differences between mediocre and great first person games. Look at counter strike movement over the years. Players have extracted everything from the quirks of that engine, the game is better for it, and the skill ceiling for movement alone is enormous. That skill ceiling is important. Crouch jumps in particular have been in pretty much every game i can think of since i learned halo on the og xbox. even if they aren’t explicitly used by the game designers, there is often tricks you can do to exploit campaigns in fun ways, or maneuver the multiplayer with a higher level of expertise than others. Thats fun. Competitive but fun.

Compared to games where every mechanic is dead simple and everyone can do it, its more just rock paper scissors at that point. The designer gave a specific movement ability, you counter it with some other ability they designed. Its boring to me.

It shouldn’t be ignored full stop. It depends entirely on the game. A purely arcade shooter should probably ignore it and most do (halo, overwatch), but a sim certainly shouldn’t (tarkov, arma). And a mixed game can decide for themselves (battlefield, cod).

Some do this, tarkov is a popular example.

Maybe im wrong and they need support. Maybe im not. I certainly am in no position to say one way or another with authority. But i’d rather be wrong about keeping them shamed than be wrong about letting them feel positive about their issue.

Either way, i respectfully am done discussing the topic for now. I will give your opinions some thought though.

Being a pedo may not be a choice, but acting on it definitely is. And any pedo who has to go searching for pedo friendly communities is not looking for help, theyre looking to get off.

Its not a big secret to them that they have something wrong to live with. They dont need a support community to tell them how not to fuck kids. It shouldnt take that much self control for them to not fuck kids…

I’d even bet the vast majority of them already do just fine living normal lives. Just like the vast majority of “normal” adults dont go around raping each other just because they feel sexually aroused by someone.

This should include a user count in each so we can see just how many pedos and nazis are being punted to their own little disgusting bubbles

Are you actually crying about someone having a cool image on their debit card for something they are a fan of?

No it didn’t, because ive not heard of anyone else with that issue. Even just trying very low settings your system still struggles?

The one theyve acknowledged working on is related to garbage. Your cargo port/terminal will import a lot of various resources for your city to use, including garbage. Which means no matter how much garbage handling to build, your imports will flood it.

Workaround is to district everything and make sure your garbage handling facilities excludes the districts with the poets/terminals.

Some other economic bugs are not as bad. Like services not using resources correctly or zoned buildings having too much of a safety net for bankruptcy. Theres a lot the community is tracking down and the devs are working on.

I wouldn’t say it makes the game unplayable. The complexity that does work is great. Its still so much better than CS1. Im not in the camp of anyone not buying “out of principal”. Its a fairly small team who had a deadline to meet. They made a great game in that time despite the glaring issues. They provided 10 years of CS1 support (even excluding dlcs), CS2 will be no different.

They already mentioned delaying the first dlc from the planned Q4 2023 release to Q1 2024.

What, how? Are you just leaving the settings at default and giving up? They basically have said what is broken. If you turn those settings off it works alright.

You also get countless other smaller channels that are just large enough to have youtube be their primary income, but small enough where they stay true to their original intent.

Exactly. Most good comedy uses that at least occasionally. Look at Always Sunny!

For them to not age well because of sexism/etc, it would have to not be comedically poking those topics.
