Mox is going to go on a tear, elevating the title and eventually putting over a new face when he drops it.

OC is going to rest up and enter the world championship picture, at some point.

Punk who has shown a commitment to trying to move on from controversy and is merely reacting to being prodded by others.

The well known moving on tactic of refusing to allow anyone I don't like to be in the same building with me.

Any other work environment that you publicly bad mouth another more senior coworker in front of the customer and you would be lucky to not be fired.

In any other work environment, if you said something that 99.9% of people had no idea was "bad mouthing another more senior coworker", nothing would happen. Keep in mind he didn't go out there and say "Punk is incompetent and incapable of managing a Target" or an "empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck". He said "It's real glass, cry me a river." That's not even BAD MOUTHING.

Also, in any other context, something like that would both obviously be a real statement (because there's no kayfabe in the real world), and could directly impact the business. As someone who watches AEW constantly, I didn't even know about this backstage glass drama.

Fragile Phil is the biggest baby on the planet and decided Jack Perry wasn't being sufficiently subservient, and got physical. He is the stereotypical bully.

Rapidly swapping loadouts apparently could crash lobbies, sending everyone back to orbit.

"Punk's created a drama-free locker room by banning a bunch of people" sure, the locker room might be drama-free, but now there's 10x as much drama in the company overall. good thing there's a brand split and nobody from dynamite ever has to wrestle with anyone from collision, like at all of these ppvs. no chance for drama when that happens.

The & is the html escape code for an ampersand (&) symbol, which is used to separate query params in a url -- it appears like this has been re-encoded so the single & in the URL becomes & by something breaking the link. If you change all of the &s to $ it works. it's not really an "amp" link in the "Google Amp" meaning.

Also after posting this comment, it appears to be Lenny's url encoding, I think I've fixed it but if not, remove the amp; from the 3 sections of the url you see it and it'll work

It doesn't matter if Perry had gone in the back and called Phil a prissy lil baby bitch to his face. He escalated it to violence. In the real world, that's not acceptable.

Sure, they obviously are dropping the ball here, just trying to explain what they might mean by "thoroughly tested" and why it's not succeeding

[–] draecas 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is all assumption from me, but I think a lot of testing would likely be diagnostic machines and specialized testing -- not actually playing games. I would assume it's something like plugging in, confirming the parts all meet spec after whatever the refurb is. That spec is probably more around frequencies, power use, temperatures.

Obviously that's not good enough if they're sending out these clearly broken refurbs.

Maybe, but unless we're in there, it's hard to say for sure. Battleye supports it but given the clusterfuck that is the Tiger engine, they might be using an old or heavily modified version. Especially given how easily cheaters are getting past it atm, I would not assume they're keeping up to date on it without some evidence.

Stadia limits the player's control of the system substantially and might not have even needed the anticheat, or the same anticheat, given it's closer to a console in terms of user's ability to run programs alongside the game to modify memory.

The Deck is designed for SteamOS and SteamOS is pretty much designed for the Deck. They're chocolate and peanut butter.

I feel Valve's Windows support is not great -- it's a custom APU for them so you're getting your drivers through Valve, not directly from AMD's Adrenalin. The APU drivers are from March, I'm not sure if we've seen any Linux improvements since then on the APU side but months without GPU driver updates to address game compat issues doesn't encourage me.

They don't officially support dual booting AFAICT, and given the size of modern games + Windows, I wouldn't want to dual boot on any of the offered SSDs tbh.

If you've got a deck and really want a Windows-only game, it works. But given the easy availability of the Ally, and the upcoming non-extreme Ally, I can't imagine recommending anyone who wants to primarily play a Windows-only game get a Deck.

I've done it so it's definitely possible, though I can't remember if I used Steam link or Moonlight to do it. It was also pre-Lightfall, so they definitely could've changed it.

estiny has some anti-overlay stuff enabled that limits what can pop up on top of it, which might also be affecting some form of streaming?
