Ha, dude bought a macbook at the end. Scammed twice in one Greentext.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Yeah, now he can work all day on battery instead of having to carry around a charger because the shitty ass laptop is out of battery in 2 hours somehow, depite being much slower than the macbook

I've never met an Applesexual before.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 18 points 7 months ago

Cheerleading for brands is cringe

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Stating facts is cheerleading?

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 31 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.

It's the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What's apples offering in that price range?

[–] vala@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (14 children)

Realistically with the new apple M-series stuff this is just not the case. The battery life is absolutely nuts. Especially compared to high end Linux laptops.

The new Snapdragon laptops are getting 15h+ of battery life, which is a couple of hours less than the new Macs (macs have bigger batteries) in the same benchmarks. The next gen Ryzen AI 300 Omnibook is said to have 20h+... but why do people want so much out of their battery? I've only used laptops for work and I can't remember being more than a couple of hours at a time outside a dock.

Facts about why you should pay more to an unethical company for a use case that doesn't exist smells like a sales pitch to me.

Where are you going to work on your computer for 16 hours straight without access to a wall outlet?

Oh wow thats so cool, Apple should introduce a way to trade in vital organs to make it more accessible to people of your capacity.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not cool, just basic useability

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hey man, if you find yourself with a Very Serious Opinion after reading one of these, you should maybe say it out loud in a room by yourself instead of posting it as a comment. This has nothing to do with whether you're right or not. Nobody wants Serious Opinions underneath their jokes, and you will be much happier when you learn this.

Far cry 4, wait when bad guy said to wait for him. Ending credits play.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

And that was unironically the good ending.

It's 4

3 was Vas. He hated you.

4 was the flamboyant guy. He actually liked you at the beginning, and you betray his trust by jumping out the window

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 22 points 7 months ago (3 children)

FC5 also has the option to finish the game in a couple of minutes if you do what the antagonist asks. Don't remember what exactly it was, leave with your team, I believe.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Developers just casually adding intended game mechanics that makes the speed run incredibly boring.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

FC6 too. In the beginning you're only helping the resistance so they'll give you a boat to escape to Miami. Once they give you the boat you're supposed to join them anyway, but if you take the boat and sail far enough away you'll get a cutscene where you escape to Miami and later watch the fall of your country on the news.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 7 points 7 months ago

Haven't played 6, but at this point I expect them to add a quick ending scenario in every sequel.

I wear that achievement as a badge of honor. We are not the same.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 33 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can someone explain the context of this to me?

[–] ieatmeat@lemmy.world 104 points 7 months ago

In the beginning when you explore one of the starting areas you can encounter a prostitute who offers herself for cheap. If you agree, she tells you to follow her into some backroom. However, there is a giant dude waiting inside who knocks you unconscious and takes all your money (it's scripted, you can't escape this fate once you enter the backroom).

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Missed out on the 2 hour refund policy anon. Could’ve got your money back.

[–] Technoguyfication@sh.itjust.works 27 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Unfortunately for anon, Steam didn’t start doing refunds until 2015

I like games that give you a little slap upside the head for being stupid. All things considered, losing the paltry amount of early game currency in Metro is getting off pretty light compared to some games.

[–] Doxin@pawb.social 14 points 7 months ago

In Stray you can put a paper bag on your head. It inverts your controls for a bit. I liked that.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Just get the rest of the achievements and say you wanted to get all the achievements.

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 18 points 7 months ago

Maybe I am overlooking it, but I don’t see this achievement in my Steam account.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That sounds like a dick move on the part of the developers, I'd wonder if I really want to keep playing the game after that.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 41 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Lollipop Chainsaw has another. "Accidentally" maneuvering the camera to upskirt the main character.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That one sounds a bit more deserved.

It's a suspiciously low price, and the interaction is just a little off. It's clearly fishy.

It also happens so early that the mugging doesn't take away much even if you fall for it.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I never saw that character in the game, but there are dozens of other reasons to hate Metro 2033.

Not OP, but my only gripe was it scared the shit out of me lol
