If you don’t have the strength to physically get it back then I guess you’ll have to live with the loss tbh

Always love seeing this one, never forget old mate and his comic

Hilarious, though this was an onion post

Manpower is crucial when you’re stranded, definitely the right choice, a two for one deal!

Game was worth picking up for a dollar on a 14 day Xbox PC game pass trial membership. I got to see first hand how dogshit the performance is! Look at these great numbers (medium settings, no DOF, no volumetrics, 1440p, no vsync)

Look at it absolutely obliterate my 4090 and push my 13900k to the limit. Love to see games released in this state…

It’s performance, especially on top of the line hardware (13900k + 4090) is dogshit yeah? Just so we’re under no illusions about the state this game was released in.

The icing on the cake is colossal orders gaslighting saying that there’s no practical benefit to having anything above 30 FPS, as if there’s not a tangible benefit to playing games at a smooth 60FPS compared to a sloppy 30 FPS

Cheers for the post mate

That third one is spot on. Easily my fav

Also worth noting that Skylines 2 comes out on Xbox game pass day 1. You can usually pick up a trial for a fortnight, that’s a pretty perfect opportunity to try this on PC (to see how bad it runs for you)

That’s what I’ll be doing, trying it out and most likely skipping it for a few months while they polish it up

You can pick up game pass (which skylines 2 will be coming out on the 24th)

It’s only a buck for 14 days (though that might be region specific) so I’m definitely going to pick it up and give it a go to see how bad the performance is

They’re ugly looking now, that’s the issue. skylines 2 definitely is an improvement over 1, but it’s not an astronomical improvement (like the difference you’d notice with some franchises moving from unreal engine 4 to 5)

The amount of raw performance needed to power this game is what’s shocking. It’s just a lack of optimisation.

I think I’m pretty confident in saying most people aren’t interested in sub 60 FPS, especially if it’s at 1080p and looking the way it does (which is mostly flat and unimpressive)

That’s the most shocking part, the high-end hardware needed to brute force a 1080p game at acceptable framerates

Really disappointed that after a solid 3-4 months of dev diaries, open communication and hype for the game, they drop this performance bombshell on us at the last moment.

They get points for at least giving everyone a weeks notice, but that’s clearly a calculated move (compared to if they kept it quiet entirely and it launched with people unaware)

I’m not instead on playing sub 60 FPS games at 1080p, especially not when I’ve got a 4090+13900k and it crushes almost every other game in existence. The game isn’t pretty enough to justify such terrible performance, it’s just purely unoptimized now.

Why there’s no DLSS / FSR also at launch is baffling, it helps GPU bottlenecked necked games greatly (even if boosting from a native 30 to 60 is a bit yuck)

Really disappointed

The best part is the end result, not where the data comes from. Tired of hearing about AI models “stealing” data. I put all my art, designs and code online and assume it’ll be used to train models (which I’ll be able to use later on)

Exactly what he wanted, money. He’s not interested in the slightest with factual information unless there’s some way he can use it for his own benefit

Seems like a clear case of freedom of expression, not freedom of consequences to me.

The similarities are usually astonishing. Like watching a trainwreck in slow motion every time I hear about this guy

Truly amazing. 2023 really is the year for less for more

When I say I can give people up to 10 inches they seem pretty disappointed when I don’t deliver, assuming it’ll be the same here with the silicone lottery with some CPUs going to struggle to maintain 6GHZ

Still one of my favorite episodes, great to see actually humble for a change
