I assume you are playing on PC, as I can’t justify an extensive PC upgrade right now, I’m stuck on my PS5 - but I’ve also heard good things about the console.
In the lead-up to Diablo 4's first season back in July, the game received a patch that was universally unpopular. That feels like an understatement—the community revolt was fierce enough to cause an honest-to-Lilith emergency broadcast where the devs stated: "we don't plan on doing a patch like this ever again"....
I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.
My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.
The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!
Is Master the difficulty you have to unlock? I can’t remember, so probably not. I have it unlocked though…
I have no problems at all with the things you mentioned:
I always get the good boost
I press down while jumping
cornering: let go of trottle (if needed) and use L/R
the power management I have not completely mastered tbh
As silly as it sounds, the problem are the other cars (as always haha), but for real: once I’m in the pack I’m loosing speed and get pushed all over the place… even with the spin attack. And then I’m stuck there and usually end up around 30.
My rating is B+ now, I usually beat 3/4 opponents. And I think I’m around level 15.
Of course there are still a few driver errors, but I struggle most with getting out of the pack, if you now what I mean.
Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.
Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.
That’s okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don’t worry.
Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)
Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn’t (well aside directly from the start).
I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!
And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren’t there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.
Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.
Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.
There really got me with this one… I was soooo excited for some F-Zero news… the music… the pixel look… then a shift to HD graphics and the a announcement of a new game… oh wait this was in my head!
Instead we got a battle royale.
Don’t get me wrong, I still take it and play it… but this was really brutal. :(
Pegasus is a highly sophisticated and controversial spyware tool developed by the Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group. Pegasus is designed to infiltrate and infect mobile devices, including smartphones, and it allows the attacker to remotely monitor and collect a wide range of information from the compromised device. This...
Unfortunately, as far as I understand it, not really. NSO and for sure many other companies offering similar spy software use multiple 0-day exploits to get into your device.
At least for the Pegasus one, a system restart seems to do the trick in removing it in most cases, although there are some reports on surviving even a factory reset on some phones…
The other question is, if you are not a person of interest like a high-ranking politician or journalist, you are most likely not going to be a target of an attack. On the other hand, you never know… and that’s the really scary part.
Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.
Bis Donnerstag treffen sich die Brics-Staaten in Johannesburg. Ziel sei die Suche nach veränderten globalen Machtstrukturen, erklärte die südafrikanische Außenministerin Naledi Pandor.

Bin da auch erst durch die Nachrichten vom Gipfel wirklich aufmerksam geworden und kenne mich daher nicht wirklich mit dem Thema aus. Es wirklich wirkt aber so, als ob die einzige Gemeinsamkeit dieser Brics-Staaten darin besteht, eine Alternative zum Westen zu bilden… was schön und gut ist, aber die Länder sind hald quer über die ganze Erde verteilt und haben komplett andere Kulturen. Das kann doch auf lange Sicht nicht gut enden, oder?
I enjoyed Foundation as well, so I would definitely play it.
My timeline for playing is Control (when it released) > Alan Wake Remastered (earlier this year) > Control with all DLCs (after AW). Alan Wake was always on my radar, but when I it finally came to the PS Collection for free I had no excuses left haha
Alan Wake as a whole did not age too well gameplay wise… but the story is just so good and the pacing is also nice. There is always something new going on and it also has the perfect length.
Funny story for the DLCs, they are quite hidden in the Remaster (you hab to manually select them from Main Menu > Chapter Select > Extra Episode 1 and 2)
I really enjoyed them, the gave the much needed context on what’s happened to Alan after the end of the main game.
We don’t know for sure, it is one of the possibilities why prediction and result don’t line up.
“If the measurements don’t line up with the prediction [calculated with the standard model], that could be a sign that there is some unknown particle appearing in the loops—which could, for example, be the carrier of a fifth force,” particle physicist Jon Butterworth told The Guardian.
Depending on how you define late, some might say it is already too late.
The really unfortunate thing is, that even if we act now, it only affects the future… and for some that’s “too far away”. But these things take time… like it took time to arrange at the point we are today.
I was indeed blaming the end users. Yes, the bluetooth off thing on apple devices is super annoying and I don’t know why they still force it…
Bluetooth is off, so maybe the notification is legit from apple and needs authority for a connection? The thing is, why would you connect to an Apple TV when you are not at home? Or share your password with another device when nobody asked you in person (e.g. WiFi password)?
Form my understanding, this falls into the same category as phishing SMS or mails. You as a user need to know if this is legit or not.
The target audience for this are not people here on lemmy… it’s our parents, grandparents and more in generally people who are not tach savvy… and/or just don’t care.
This is why we need to make people aware of this and teach them how to respond, basically not to click on everything you see. I’m still doing this in my family and I’m very proud of my 80 year old grandma, that dodged a few very convincing scams. :)
And haha, I never thought of backdoors, but yes, they are also produced by humans.
Perhaps, they added, Apple could add a warning message when using the Control Panel toggles that alerts the user that tapping on its Bluetooth icon doesn’t completely shut off Bluetooth and their iPhone can still interact with proximity-activated beacons, such as Bochs’ contraption. So they are saying “off” isn’t really off if you do it in the control center, you have so go into settings to completely turn it off.
I don’t know if it turns itself black on (blue) when something is trying to connect.
“Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinder, die selten Bücher lesen und häufig an digitalen Geräten, den höchsten Förderbedarf hinsichtlich ihres Wortschatzes aufweisen”, heißt es in der Ende 2022 vorgelegten Studie.
Klar haben Kinder die selten lesen einen geringeren Wortschatz… das hat aber nichts mit digitalen Geräten zum tun.
Selbst meine Eltern sind aid eBooks umgestiegen zum Bücherlesen…
Man könnte fast meinen, dass sich da gewisse Leute nicht mit den neuen Medien befassen wollen, aber was weiß ich schon haha
The company will roll out tactics to mitigate password sharing in 2024. While Iger said Disney should see some effects from the rollout in 2024, the initiatives to prevent password sharing won’t be completed next year.
It’s the same as with youtube premium - do I need another music service? No, I just don’t want to have no ads (I don’t have it, just an example).
They just bloat up the package with stuff, so it looks like it’s much and is of “value”, when you are actually paying for a lot of stuff you don’t want/need… but of course they charge you for all of it.
I will definitely look into the luck hit chance stuff, thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah I also ran the same build (at least skill wise) as you did, but I just wanted to mix it up a bit and try more flame and arc skills… but couldn’t get it to work…
