And if you don't cherry pick a time period which contains a market crash? I'd also point out that stocks represent a real stake in a real company which may generate real cash. Crypto is thin air and trades on the greater fool theo

Right. You make a pretty plain statement, I disagree, and I'm a troll. Ridiculous. Whatever you have to tell yourself bud. Edit: Seems you edited that bit out huh? Now I'm just angry. Ok.

You call me an asshole and somehow I'm the jerk? I'm saying your point is both wrong and irrelevant, which it is. Maybe you're the one with the problem.

by EpicEng 6y ago
Yes there have been, and your point is still irrelevant.

by EpicEng 6y ago
Cool for you, I'm glad. We have thousands of streams showing people with high end rigs running into ridiculous bugs, and it's completely irrelevant in regards to the console versions.

Not the OP, but I think the point is that it's just not a large enough issue for me to care about given how much I like what they produce. Honestly, I just really don't care. I don't like it, but there are a lot of things in

Even if you don't experience performance problems, the game is buggy as all hell, and some of those bugs are game breaking. Besides, the issue at hand here is company reputation. CDPR knowingly released a game to consoles that is damn

Create a system in which people almost always defer to the highest score and then blame the little guy for trying to game it. I don't blame them at all. Nearly everyone else is doing it, so not doing it means it's harder to feed y

Personally I couldn't care less about the critic reviews/score, but the audience score is usually spot on for the stuff I'm interested in.

I'm saying that choosing a nonsense name for your product with the thought that, should you have to "pivot" (aka failing), you'll be able to keep the name, is brain dead. Besides, this is a programming language; what exa

I worded that a bit confusingly, but I assure you I know capitalism is not a system of government. I was using governance as another area where we have ideologies which simply can't be implemented wholesale without some tinkering aroun

No ideology is so nearly perfect that it can be successfully implemented wholesale. It's surprising to me that someone who I assume deals with edge cases on a daily basis wouldn't realize that. Capitalism, just like a system of go

You're not the only one. Sounds a lot like a former CTO of mine who couldn't write a line of code to save his life, but made sure to randomly toss out buzzwords and make sure you were aware of what he recently read in what I assum

How does one take advantage of a "no questions asked" return policy? It's literally intended to give a customer confidence in the product they're buying as they can return it for _any_ reason. My assumption is that they

More along the lines of "I live in the real world". I can be empathetic to the situation and think the author essentially set themselves up for something like this all at the same time.
