  • I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing.

    Nobody ever said the second part.

    Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.

    What do you think you’re winning?

    Avoiding the major bullshit.

    Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality day one. That’s why people are telling you to not pre order. I could not care less if a stranger struggles with day one bugs, but they are helping to lower the bar for everyone else.



  • I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf

    I come from a time when you (in Windows) had to hand pick the correct driver for the individual device from a very long list of options to make anything work, not just graphics. Not just “the nvidia driver”. Think “driver for the Sapphire RTX 12345.6.7-8 pro super max whatchamacallit RGB edition with anime waifu on the backplate, manufactured between May 21st and august 15th, quality controlled by Jeff and packaged by Tony”. If your card was packaged by Bertha instead it wouldn’t work. (Mine was always packaged by Bertha. Fuck Bertha.)

    I feel so fucking old when I read complaints like this (yeah, I know, it’s because I am). Is clicking the highest version number behind the word “nvidia” considered complicated nowadays?












  • If I claim I have super powers and there are 0 documented cases of me doing anything super natural,

    Is it somehow hard for you to understand that there literally cannot be documented cases of Mossad killing someone and not being linked to it, because as soon as they were documented cases, they would be linked to it?

    What theoretical evidence would you even need to believe in them being able to kill someone in secret?

    Furthermore, your comparison doesn’t hold water because you’re turning the logic on it’s head. You are the one claiming Clark Kent does not have superpowers because there are lots of documented cases of him taking the bus instead of super-flying to where he wants to be.


  • Should I assume also that Mozambique intelligence carried out a gazillion sophisticated stealth assassinations that none of us has discovered yet?

    No, but if you claimed that they never carried out a single one specifically with the argument that none was ever discovered you’d be falling for the same logical fallacy.

    Also, compared to Mozambique, you know that Israel has far higher technological capabilities, a certain international backing and is in semi constant war alternating between cold and hot with most of it’s neghbour states, which makes one more likely to have both the need and the means to have successfully carried out secret killings than the other.

    Especially since x (too lazy to research right now) assassinations by Mossad were discovered and linked to them, so you know they do kill people. And from there you basically claim they get discovered 100% of the time. Which is ridiculous.
