As an Albertan, I’ve never voted for her and never will. She thinks Trump cares, it’s pathetic. He doesn’t even remember her name, I’m sure of it.

Of course, I don’t know that Trump knows anyone’s name at this point.

I honestly don’t think so. Many Americans have had personal experiences with bad insurance, but hopefully not Blackwater

Turn left?

In the real world you don’t get obvious bad faith actors in your face shouting nonsense very often, and when you do, you usually walk away from them too. It’s not helpful to engage with people who are actively working against cooling down.

Oh, good, so we’re just throwing more watts at it again, eh?

Dr Scott?

Could be called prisons, could be concentration camps. Either way, an entirely upsetting number of Americans, home of the free, land of the brave, will be cool with it.

Still focusing on identity politics instead of the actual ramifications of a choice based upon them, eh?

Yup, the venal fuck is going to die in the White House instead of a jail cell.

They love to punch down, and can’t figure out why the rest of us don’t find it funny.

The CDN to download the initial files were slow, the in game streaming was fine.

Yes, ownership sucks these days, but I don’t know how they’d technically pull this off as well without using a remote server. As a philosophy, if we’re purchasing games the only real choice is GoG, anything else ends up with us locked into some server-based licensing system.

I don’t think requiring online functionality is the death knell of a game in the year 2024. Personally, I’m excited. Their servers were so damn slow to download on initial install and I hated MSFS2020 taking up a quarter of my game drive.

The fact that you started by comparing it to GTA 5 makes it obvious you don’t know, but okie dokie, at this point I have to assume you’re just trolling.

Yeah, you’re not getting the goal. They are using actual data from the areas you’re flying over. You’re suggesting they look at it like a game, where the reuse textures and models. Their goal is the opposite, to have the game look like the real world.

Even in MFS2020 my house roughly look like my house, and the taller structures look like they do in my city, they aren’t just skyscraper#93781 and bridge#12381, they are all unique structures that uses the bing maps data to look just like it does in real life. The landmarks in my city are my cities landmarks. They aren’t just generic buildings.

GTA 5’s entire game world is just the San Andreas area. The point of MFS2024 is that you can literally see your real world house from the air. It’s so, so, so much larger than GTA 5’s < 100 km2 it’s a totally unfair comparison.

It’s not weather, it’s terrain and textures. It’s a high resolution stream of where you are flying over so you don’t need to keep the earth on your PC. The base install is supposed to be only ~30GB data, that’s not enough to see your house.

Because GTA has 99.99% of the data on disk. MFS2024 is trying to keep the install size from being 500 GB, so rather than having the whole world on your PC they are streaming it in. GTA doesn’t do that.

And, with any luck, when he finally implodes he’ll take a few billionaires with him.

You’re expecting to get your hands dirty when you dive into wings. The waiter at Oliver Garden looks uncomfortable every time I do it.
