Quoting: jordicomaWhat? A functionality coming from windows world that its good?

It's not necessarily good. If windows has feature X, games will depend on it. Now it may have been better if games did Y instead, but that doesn't exist and they are stuck with X.

Just because Linux now needs a way to implement X doesn't mean that X was the best option, just that because of windows we are now stuck with it.

I wonder why they didn't instead try and make eventfd more efficient?

Quoting: GuestWhy make parts readily available if you’re telling us it’s a bad idea to replace them?

To be fair, they did mention a few times in the video to "leave it to the professionals", which sounds like they do think it's ok to repair / change parts, just not by any rando with a screw driver.

Quoting: BielFPs... that Phasmophobia requires Cortana to use the voice functions of the game, ...

Wow, that's so braindead.

They did this to take advantage of the Cortana's AI, despite the "Windows dependency" part, I think this was actually pretty smart of them.

That's a sure way of making sure your game is completely unplayable in 5 years is what that is.

at the worst case scenario, they disable this feature and the game do work.
you seem like someone who prefer an game to never exist than to exit for a few time.

Disclaimer, I know nothing about this game, if the feature is entirely optional, then sure, that's fine.

If it's a core part of the game, then making it depend on some tech existing and shipping by the operating system is braindead. API's change, technologies change, it's not like the Cortana API has been standardized. In a few years Cortana will change enough that the game would be borked.

Adding voice recognition to games is a smart idea, sure. Just the technology used to implement it was wrong. They could have used some third party library (open source preferable of course) they could ship and not worry about it changing.

Again, if the feature can be disabled and is entirely optional, then sure, go nuts.

Quoting: denyasisSo honest question....
Is CK3 so much better than 2 that is worth buying 3? Or should I hold off until it gets fleshed out with a couple more expansions?

I have CK2 and most of it's expansions, which cost a lot. I haven't played it much and would basically be a new player.... I guess I'm worried that I would spend a lot of money on a game I fundamentally already have.

I may be stating the obvious here, but you should probably first play the game you already have, see if you even like it, before you decide to by the sequel :D

> One of the stats they gave out showed that Cannibalism has been adopted 14,000 times! Oh my.

Well it's just a game. Like we keep playing games where we kill people and animals left and right, it's not like we have any desire to do that in real life.

I don't really know why this game is popular. It felt very repetitive to me, despite the wildly different characters. Like the strategies are different ok, but the world and enemies themselves are just too repetitive and boring IMO.

Quoting: aufkrawallI could copy and paste my usual NV driver situation rant from another site here, but to keep it short: Way too sucky, hello Windows...
