The gold standard in games retaining playerbases in this genre is Baldur’s Gate 3, which still puts up over 100,000 players nightly, though it released just over a year and a half ago.
“Released”…
Going off memory but I think BG3’s act 1 was out before cyberpunk or close to the same time. I had 100+ hours before the game released, and it was with huge gaps of play time. I think it was in Beta for at least two years.
He’s explicitly allowing bigotry and hate speech…
You don’t need to warn anyone, they’ll see it soon enough if not already.
Just tell them you’ve had enough, and you’re leaving for _______ alternative if others are also thinking of leaving.
Then leave, there’s zero reason to still be there.
Lately I’ve used it with is Baldur’s Gate 3
Yeah, turn based CRPGs is the only time I turn that stuff on.
But there seems to be two types of frame generation:
A real frame is generated, then it guesses, then real frame is generated.
Two real frames are generated, then they “fill in the gaps” with fake frames.
For 1 it doesn’t create lag, but it may guess wrong then have to correct on the next real frame.
For 2 the fake frames are going to be correct, but a lot of latency is added.
Neither is an issue for CRPG, but can be a huge issue in shooters, fighting games, and PvE like Dark Souls.
The problem is manufactures are now counting all the fake frames in their stats while ignoring every issue that pops up from that.
That’s a good article!
It backs up everything I’ve been saying and absolutely nothing you just said.
Thanks for linking it
Quick edit:
I suggest you read the whole thing, but it’s literally in the first sentence:
code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting.
Having a brain fart is not a “social context or conversational setting”.
Besides what’s already been linked?
Dr. Prewitt describes it this way: “It’s basically a way of changing your style, dress, or maybe even language or behavior, in order to match what you think would be appropriate or would make someone else feel comfortable.”

Like, the prior sources are good, people are just taking parts clearly labeled “no citation” and chopping it up till it says what they want it to in a quote.
And not at all relevant to the OP where they explicitly say the use of another language was due to forgetting it in a “common” language…
I understand I probably sound frustrated, and I am.
From the third paragraph of the Wikipedia article:
The entire paragraph:
Code-switching may happen between sentences, sentence fragments, words, or individual morphemes (in synthetic languages). However, some linguists consider the borrowing of words or morphemes from another language to be different from other types of code-switching.[2][3]
You keep leaving out stuff so it looks like you’re right if no one clicked the link…
It seems intentional, and since I’ve blocked your instance I don’t get notifications, which is good because now you’re trying to have the same argument in different comment chains
This is too much effort to help you understand against your will.
Probably most fitting username I’ve seen for a while, which makes me think even more this is an intentional misunderstanding.
Have a nice life I guess.
it can be single-word
Multiple people have said that’s how they use the phrase…
And maybe it is evolving into that…
But no one has provided a link that backs it up, and definitely not that any that says that was the original meaning.
Just quoting the first paragraph:
code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting. Sociolinguists, social psychologists, and identity researchers are interested in the ways in which code-switching, particularly by members of minority ethnic groups, is used to shape and maintain a sense of identity and a sense of belonging to a larger community.
If there’s a part that references brainfarts, please quote it
Or is that what you think dialects are?
Quick edit:
Wait…
That’s not what you meant you think the “between different languages” just means one word substitutions?!
I can see why someone would be wrong in that way, so if that’s what happened I might be able to clear this up.
Anytime I see somone remove chunks of a quote I know somethig weird is going on.
In linguistics, code-switching or language alternation occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages, or language varieties, in the context of a single conversation or situation[citation needed].
You changed the first line of Wikipedia by committing half of it, then claim it’s proof what you omitted doesn’t exist.
Like, you may be right, but you couldn’t find a source and anyone that knows what they’re doing would never try the shit you did with that quote to back it up.
That’s not code switching tho…
Like the screenshot you’re reposting is funny, but code switching is switching between dialects/mannerisms intentionally to fit into different groups.
Not just blanking on a word in one language and using another.
No, they do.
Precipitate pollution from coal use in India and China is making it to the northern glaciars.
It doesn’t need to be a lot, a small speck on a glacier can “snowball” into a substantial melt because black soot gets hotter than white snow.
When soot settles on snow in large enough quantities, it creates a dark, heat-absorbent film on the otherwise reflective white surface of the snow. This causes the surface to absorb significantly more heat than it otherwise would, which eventually thins the snow down to the glacial ice that sits below the surface layer, causing further retreat.
It’s not like the soot has to blanket it, especially when they’re already melting.
Just saying “watts staying underground” is a poor explanation
Which is why I clarified for someone what someone else likely meant…
I’m not sure what you’re doing here, do you want me to go complain to the person who first used that phrasing on your behalf?
Participate pollution melts glaciers which increases the temperature long after it fucks shit up by trapping heat in the atmosphere and blocking photosynthesis.
But that’s fine, I see what OP was going for.
Weird choice to downvote the person who helped you understand, but you do you I guess.
It’s definitely convinced me not to spend anytime helping you in the future though. So maybe don’t be like this to the next person, Lemmy is small and there’s only so many people to help you, eventually you’ll run out.
This?
if you use a watt of sunlight to power your phone instead of a watt of energy you got from burning coal, this watt of energy instead stays below earth and therefore doesn’t heat up the planet.
The “watt of energy” is a watt from the coal… And they’re saying to leave the coal buried and sequestered.
I assumed that was understood, so I explained how burning coal heats up the planet…
You may have not realized what you highlighted had to do with fossil fuels, but that’s just because you didn’t understand.
Which is fine, you did the right thing and asked questions.
Fossil fuels are carbon.
That carbon was sequestered from the atmosphere millions of years ago.
Burning fossil fuels releases that carbon into the atmosphere, which then makes the earth hotter
Think of oil as dead dinosaurs and coal as dead trees, that’s basically what it is.
All that stuff was taken out of circulation over an insanely long timeline, and now on a very short timeline we’re digging it up and putting it back into circulation. So fast that species can’t adapt to the change and die out before they can evolve.
Apply…
Worst case scenario it’s the same result as not applying, so why not apply?
The American government sends the Cuban government a check every year for the “rent”.
Unless something has changed, Cuba has never cashed a rent check, because they don’t want an American base.
It’s incredibly fucked up, but it’s the only A&W combination Taco Bell in Cuba
it’s not just pure numerical IQ,
We talk about IQ like it’s a single number, but it’s like SAT/ACT, a bunch of different specific scores averaged into one number. So yeah it’s not as simple as a single number. I was thinking mostly processing speed and associative memory, but obviously you need the general knowledge as well.
The more variety of life you experience, the more you know of human history, different cultures, ways of thinking and seeing the world - the harder it is for you to get impressed by something as shallow as AI.
This is a very specific and easily fixable problem. It’s trained by a certain class of people, so it’s going to regurgitate stuff from that class and ignore everyone who hadn’t trained it.
Tech bros live in a bubble of their own creation and don’t understand the true richness of the human condition.
Nobody is gonna argue with that tho
I played it the day it was released on pc, the only issue was how shitty the cars drove. But you could change the setting so bikes were usable
Consoles were different, but PC I never really had issues.
