Well said. I simply don’t understand the amount of people defending the gameplay/story/“open world” here on HN while it’s receiving scathing reviews on Steam and Metacritic. Maybe game players actually more casual here than on tho

> Doing continuous level-saves is needless to say a necessity in any game you invest dozens of playhours in.. Clawing at true straws much here? This is literally not how you are expected to play modern AAA games at all.

Technical issues aside, the story has also been criticized as being shallow and of little substance. The most critically acclaimed open world games e.g. RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn etc. have very deep and intriguing stories while maintaining th

Not sure of that. The most critically acclaimed games e.g. RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn etc. have very deep and intriguing stories while maintaining the world as “open” as possible. Even the Witcher is another example. Cyberpunk sounds like a ca

Not sure if it’s comparable with Skyrim. Apparently the graphics are just broken beyond repair with the frame rate dropping below 15 on a lot of scenes in PS4 which is just insane;m, and which I simply doubt that any post-release patch is g

Or, you know, maybe the world isn’t black and white, and you could read the whole linked article to see why Apple might want to reasonably oppose certain provisions of the bill, instead of simply being “evil”, whatever that means: > Howe

Well said. All the pretty talk about "human rights", "democracy" and "environment protection" and stuffs, they serve nothing more than nice-sounding justifications/facade for western superiority and the cu

Hmm, I'm not sure if the comment you're replying to is the best example of "lack of self-awareness" or "consider yourselves superior" as they also somewhat mentioned "balance is important". Discussion

Yep the introduction written by Jordan Schneider was really confusing and seemed to want to portray the crackdown by Xi solely as something to weed out dissidents. That might have been some part of it especially in high-profile cases, but i

Yep 2001 is pretty much night and day compared to how things work now. Not sure when was the last time you were in China but the impression you get would surely be very different. Also I didn't totally understand your point, since the

Sounds more like a fantasy than truth. Germany is now infamous for nonsensical bureaucracy, see e.g. the Brandenburg airport project, where incompetence and downright corruption was comically rampant. I do meet Americans who moved to Europe

The article is not intended as a highlight of whatever sort of "corruption" of the political system though. I think the Substack author Jordan Schneider also somehow missed the point/misled with his introduction. It's in

Some interesting ideas here. Though I'm not sure if any system is "supposed to last" forever, even if it would have been the intention of the originator. The "western democracy" systems in their current forms have a

The article is actually quite interesting and objective. The introduction by Jordan Schneider reads confusing though. The purpose of Wang was to illustrate how the officialdom work and how to deepen reforms based on such objective understan

On smartphones and tablets I can definitely agree with this sentiment. There's just nothing close to the reliability and comfort that iOS gives you (Used Nexus/Pixel for 5+ years and finally had enough and switched this year back

Exactly lol. Spent a minute trying to wrap my head around how the hell would one be able to find the gate to an airport while driving/taking public transport, by looking at other people's headphones.

I remember Taleb being really harsh on bike riding which he derided as “unnatural”. Though I can imagine his position being too extreme. I don’t think his proposed alternative of weightlifting is very “natural” either.

I watched this talk as it was posted on HN a while ago, though I have to say, surprisingly I wasn't very impressed with it for whatever reason. Maybe I have to revisit it to see if I can get more out of it.
