I think the games were both really bad, both in lore, environment, and boring ass combat. And also Ubisoft has something almost exactly like the "nemesis system" that they used in AC Odyssey, so it's not that special. Not special enough to make the Shadow of games playable anyway.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough in c/technology@lemmy.world

I don't even understand how HP still exists. Can anyone name a single product they've made in the last ~15 years that wasn't a complete piece of junk?

As the Elden Ring DLC beats the snot out of players, Hidetaka Miyazaki says toning difficulty down would "break the game itself" in c/games@sh.itjust.works

lmao Elden Ring is already a dumbed down, more accessible version of Dark Souls.

Okay, but he's trashing it the fastest and for the dumbest reasons.

Earbuds recommendations? in c/technology@lemmy.world

On the other side of this coin, my Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds have been such garbage that I have swore off all Skullcandy products forever. Even since they were new the case would show full charge and you'd open it up to find totally dead earbuds. If you left them dead for too long they would stop charging completely. At this point the only way to revive them is to strip some wires and "jump start" them with another battery. I've had to do this so many times I just keep the wires taped to a AA battery. I filed a warranty claim for this the first time and they denied me any sort of support, even though the Internet shows my case is not unique and actually very common.

Fuck Skullcandy.

Electric bikes are about to get more expensive, and the timing couldn’t be worse in c/technology@lemmy.world

No but at the same time you shouldn't buy a bike from Walmart either because it will turn you off of biking pretty fast.

Ultra dumb mode. Others only go up to 10, but googles goes all the way to 14.

lol, replays of any Halo game past Reach? You're funny. I could barely get through Infinite the first time. At least it was better than 5, but so is a turd sandwich.

Fallout 3 looks like dog shit man. It has since day 1. It's one of my favorite games and I have 100% on it, but it has never looked good.

and Gerber the knife brand used to be an absolute seal of quality but now the majority of their items are cheap chinese-manufactured garbage. Only the top dollar knives are still any good. It's quite sad really.
