Depends if you’re centering the div or the things in the div. Which has probably been the main issue since CSS was invented.

I think the main issue people have is that they got Peter Molyneux’d on it. Which is fair enough, and why I don’t really read much about games before I play them.

I’m glad I held off until PL came out, because it looks like the 2.0 update fixed a lot of things that would irritate me, like gear and levelling blocking off missions. It does rob you of a sense of progression, but I’ll trust their decision to drop that.

There’s enough RPG elements to get in the way of it being a shooter, but not enough to actually satisfy anybody who wanted a full blown RPG. Decisions especially are very binary and I gave up on the platinum trophy after seeing I’d have to save a guy I let die about 60 hours of gameplay ago, in a save long since overridden.

I guess I’ve been around the block enough times to filter out any claims of amazing AI and day/night cycles. We’ve heard those claims before with Fable and Oblivion, and all it really meant is “the shops shut at night”. And here it didn’t even do that, at least beyond a handful of locations where you had to press a button to wait until they opened before you could do the quest inside.

I think I’ve had a lot better experience going into this late and blind.

Patches mean we’re no longer in the days of bad games being bad forever, but they’re certainly remembered that way.

Here’s what I don’t get about every Chinese item on Amazon:

Why the terrible photoshop?

You’ve got a product. You make it. It’s cheap crap, sure, but so are most established brands at this point. You probably make them in the same factory.

And surely somebody who works for you isn’t a grotesquely ugly freak and could just hold the item, or otherwise use it as intended.

But no, everything from digital cameras to sticking plasters is slapped over the top of a bit of stock photography taken at an entirely different angle and lighting conditions to the one you took of the product.

I’m not sure what most people were expecting but I finally got around to playing the GOTY edition recently.

I got a game with great characters, writing and story, slightly average gameplay, all shackled to a bizarre open world that completely destroys any pacing and urgency. It really did not need all those fixers and like 150 police mini missions, which detract from it all in a major way.

Having also played Witcher 3, that’s kind of what I was expecting, I guess. I genuinely think CDPR should abandon their open world ideas, because they’re excellent at story telling, but really bad at filler bullshit.

Phantom Liberty ups the package to a flawed masterpiece.

That’s not going to mean shit when it downloads a 100GB day one patch.

“Can we jazz it up a bit?”

This is a real request from a real manager. They have played us for absolute fools.

You’re zenging, mosh

Many of our customers store their backups in our “cloud storage solution”.

I think they’d be rather less impressed to see the cloud is in fact a jumble of PCs scattered all around our office.

If you’re not using Notepad, I don’t even know what to tell you.

My main issue with JS is you can use it wrong, and it pretends to work, and often looks like it works.

But then shits its pants explosively the second you fall outside that.

Good old JS, because exceptions are a sin.

We all know what it is.

People never bought music from artists.

They bought it from record labels.

Whenever you see an artist complain they had a million streams and made twenty dollars, it’s not Spotify that’s keeping it all.

I had the point near the beginning of the file thing once and it was a really shitty file that only VLC could seek in.

ffmpeg fixed it, but I’ve no idea how because ffmpeg command lines are some arcane black magic shit.

Yeah, there’s probably a fair bit of overlap between GamePass and PSN Premium games.

I suspect to try and push their own products, we’ll be entering an age where games are $80, and almost never go on sale, purely to make their own subscription services seem better value. And then they’ll crank the price of those as well.

EA Play is on PS5.

Assuming MS exit the console market, I don’t see why Sony wouldn’t allow it (as long as they get their pound of flesh from every sale of it). They’d basically just be another publisher.

A 2TB Xbox Series X now costs more than a PS5 Pro (in the US at least).

That is mental. Xbox hardware division must be bleeding money hand over fist. I honestly doubt they’ll do another generation, and stick to trying to monetise GamePass through PC and streaming. Maybe you’ll even see GamePass for PS6 since they own so many studios now.

If one of you spreads extra wide, you can just go for a double decker.

That’s fair enough. They still need to be a business after all.

Id open sourced Doom and Quake decades ago, but you still can’t just have all the assets for nothing.

Does it freeze up all the time like in the Digital Foundry video?

If not I’m wondering if it’s that stupid shader compiling thing that has plagued PC games all generation.
