    No idea how legit this is, but figured it would be interesting to post.

    https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/778998-cyberpunk-2077/79177975#7

    Sourced from 4chan, so bear that in mind.

    It reads as a mishmash of fan favorite theories that's been around for the past month. They mean to tell me that they not only did they rewrite the entire game two years ago to give Silverhand the central role, that'd then mean they had to rerecord most other VA lines aswell, I just don't buy it.

    I bought some cranberry lime mixer and sone vodka in the hopes of taking advantage of my wife with some ****tails tonight. It worked out somewhat, but she does seem to be somewhat immune to vodka. You see, she spent a year dancing in Japan in her 20's, and now she has move onto something called Shochu:

    Anyways, I am drunk, and she is fine. >_<

    Sounds nice, though because of how things work here, I've somewhat limited options unless I want to privately import. And then we're talking about 1200$+cost of whatever the price of the bottle; Would your wife recommend any of these three?

  3. I'm sort of that way myself, but only if it was a really amazing movie, or more typical in my case, game. I still haven't replayed Witcher 3 because I've got it almost all memorized.

    Then again, if you were to ask me to say, take out the trash I'll forget it 15 seconds after you said it.

    Drinking some hot chocolate. With Cointreau. It. Is. AMAZING!!! 🤩

    I definitely find her VA one of the better aspects of the game, character wise.  Every time I watch videos or streams with the male V, I just can't take that VA's interpretation. He's not horrible, but it's so ... dull.

    I wholeheartedly agree after doing a bit of research.

  5. I don't know about the 3070, but the 3080 TUF OC has a bit beefier power delivery from what I know, while the non OC version follows nvidias reference spec, and it has about 50Mhz higher advertised boost clock, possibly better binning (Which'll not be an issue unless you plan to OC). So I think that since you don't plan to OC you'll get good enough performance from the normal version, I reckon you'll get reasonably similar performance. If the 3070 boosts to 1800Mhz and the OC boosts to 1900Mhz, it's a 5% increase. The STRIX cards generally have better binning, slightly better cooling, more power delivery, more bling. It's their top tier cards generally, mostly for overclockers, out of the box you don't get a noticeable advantage.

    That said, ASUS stopped delivering 3080 TUF non-oc for a while and focused on only the OC models, so they might've done something similar to the 3070s.

     

    Edit; The ASUS 3080 TUF OC that I have, I've temporarily lowered the power limit by 15% since I'm CPU bound, and I generally sit at ~1900 boost while playing Cyberpunk, and that's about 100Mhz more than what I've been promised, and pretty much what the 3080 Strix is guaranteed to deliver.

    Well, meant copying in features not literally copying - people's expectations change with devlopments as we see now.  Shame you can't look up the stats for the cars and view them in a less obtuse manner than searching your messages to find the car/bike's photo.

    Sure, but you need the code to back it up :p

    You mean like in the database or the info you get when you scan them?

    And CDPR couldn't learn those as well? Not sure their lack of experience is much of an excuse.  The minimap making driving tedious is the biggest sin though :p

    While I think copyright and "intellectual property" is unadulterated asinine bull**** that should've been done with two decades ago, 'corps for some reason think they should stay valid. They can't just copy over the work from another studio, while Rockstar had a team working on racing games.

    The minimap is annoying as hell though, don't know what they were thinking there...

    The memes are worth it tho!

    But what about interactivity in a game?

    Of course, there is no doubt that Rockstar have more experience/more employees.

    That's kind of my point, had this been CP77 2, had CDPR a different group that was developing a racing game along side the main game it'd be sorted by now. It'll get there, give it time.

    I think it may depend on the facility. My Dad's living in an assisted living complex and they have been exceptionally careful in their response. People are only supposed to visit for medical reasons, and they set up specific events for meetings with family members. They've only had one confirmed case in a staff member. He's signed up for an early vaccination there, so I'm happy about that.

    That's good stuff. People in nursing homes here first didn't have access to protective equipment and second wen't to work with symptoms. Many also aren't allowed to stop family members from just going in and once there is a spread in the facility some haven't even quarantined the people that are sick.

    Thanks for sharing, so do you feel the real failure in Sweden is more from citizens not adhering to best practice virus measures?

    If so that is common unfortunately  in many countries, in SA we have mostly a failure of our public health department with its lack of resources and inconsistently in our own Corona policies. 

    So our devastating " first\second " wave is 15 % citizens and 85 % failure of the health department  

    It is absolutely the peoples fault, they didn't follow the guidelines then, and don't really do it now either. I lost count on how many times I've had to ask people to keep their distance when I had to go to stores and such. The Swedish healthcare system also had a really bad drought of equipment in the early days since they decided to not keep any stock of items at all, but to rather go with a more modern "just in time" system of constant supplies of just enough stuff coming in.

    Edit; Not to mention a ****load of retarded bureaucrazy. Healthcare workers were offered gasmasks from the Swedish army, that were NBC rated. But because they were made before we had CE markings they denied using them...

    It's possible. I am from a less developed third-world country called Iran so I am well capable of doing something like that. 

    I've worked in scrapyards, and you won't budge a B pillar an inch with a bat. They're the one of the main supports if the car rolls over, and can maintain the cars weight.

    I disagree. If you are going for the 'open-world' option then you gotta make sure that the car you are driving is realistic enough that its windows break if you hit em with a baseball bat...unless it's the Tesla truck. :p

    What good is an open-world rpg if the said world feels like a cardboard box?

    Remember the random encounters in Fallout? It was a reminder that not every journey is safe. Even though dialogue trees were an essential part of Fallout, the world itself felt interactive and real. Hell, in Fallout 2 your car could get stolen, you could also fill the trunk with all sorts of stuff and there was a whole quest based around it. Was Fallout 2 about car realism and physics? No, but it had enough attention to detail that it stood out.

    Swinging a baseball bat at a car and having it deform and breaking two windows as one is extremely believable, just as believable as your car even going over a "fattie" at all. Waterphysics they definetly have left out though.

    I'm just a "little" bit annoyed at people comparing CP77 to GTA V. First of all, the GTA V RAGE engine is 15 years old and has been improved and worked upon since then. They've made GTA IV, Midnight Club racing game, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 and GTA V on it. So they've got several different teams developing different games for the engine, so they have been able to draw lessons, if not damn well copy, the works of the other studios. Having good vehicle handling in a game that is developed along side with a racing game is no wonder.

    It seems unlikely they ever went for 'genuine' herd immunity, but more 'managed infection'. The theory was that you'd have a sort of ping pong situation with lock downs where you'd lock down, the rate would drop, and then rebound as soon as the lock down ended resulting in a perpetual up/down cycle- andor perpetual unsustainable restrictions- so they wanted to smooth out the cycle while exposing only those at least risk. That would result in similar overall infection numbers, increased immunity in the overall population and less economic damage with no spikes in infection numbers that would overwhelm the health system and cause a lot of excess deaths. They got aspects right and had some unusual circumstantial situations (very rapid vaccine development) that made them look more stupid than deserved, but overall you can't really argue that the approach was a success when the death rate is considerably higher than their neighbours, and they got no economic benefit either.

    Getting herd immunity never was part of the strategy, though you're correct about the other part. It was always about waiting for a vaccine, which could be years away, and people won't follow really strict measures for that long, so they chose the methods that people would follow along with for a really long time to keep the hospitals from overflowing, like they've started to do now again since people didn't give a **** about pandemic restrictions when there was shopping to be done. People really had been crowding each other alot for months in stores and such, but it just kept getting worse and worse. They just now started recommending people use masks if they're taking public transports.

    It's about a month old, but 73% of the dead in covid were living in retirement homes or recieved care at home. The Health and Social care inspectors has been pretty damning in how retirement homes and nursing companies has handled the pandemic, about 20% of people that had some sort of symptom didn't even get an check from a doctor, and most other cases the staff spoke to a doctor on the phone.

    Here are the official Covid numbers if anyone wants them;

    Why We Can’t Stop Longing for the Good Old Days

    WSJ but no paywall on this article for some reason. @Gromnir has hit this point a few times and it made me think. I was reminded of it again reading this piece. People pine for a "good old days" that, objectively speaking, were not all that good.  But, individual frame of reference goes a long way to color your idea of what the "good old days" were. Especially if it's within your lifetime. 

    Just curious though. If you could live anywhere and at any time other than this one, where do you go and why? For me it's a no brainer. I'd choose the life of a free trapper in the pre-civil war American west. Settlers had been drifting west the entire 19th century but after the end of the Civil War Manifest Destiny really hit the gas and f----d the whole thing up. I'd have loved to have seen it before that.

    For me, I really need a time period with decent plumbing and toilet paper. Also, antibiotics are nice.

    I'd be dead without modern medicine, but if I was able to control all variables? Maybe hunter/gatherer I suppose.

    If not, I'd like to be born in about 40 years. Either we've advanced quite a bit or things have gone all way to post apocalypse. Either way, win/win.

    This is nice, now I don't have to worry.  Hopefully.

    Although ... has anyone else been getting a little more graphic pop-in since these last two patches? I feel like the graphics became slightly worse (same settings).  Maybe it's my imagination but ... I recall how the more they "optimized" FFXV the worse some graphics looked regardless of settings.  Sigh.  I hope that doesn't happen here, at least by much.  *pick,pick,pick*

    Yeah, now that you mention it. Maybe. I had it down to my computer being overloaded. 🤔

    On another note did anybody watch the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn last night? I tried to get a picture of it through binoculars. Didn’t turn out so well. Was not as bright as I was expecting it to be.

    I missed it because of weather. It pisses me off to no end, I really wanted to see it.

  16. First real unrecoverable bug just happened for me. Fought a gangoon that had an electric katana, and wanted to take a photo. Happened to press M for map at the same time, and the game became unresponsive, it was running but I couldn't get out of the map menu or interact with anything, no keyboard commands either :<

    That reminds me, there's a hidden rollercoaster mission in Pacifica.

    There were no people there when I went past. I had to look up a fix for it, but it is possible to get it running without the quest itself.
