I knew they were depots, but not that they were layered like that, that’s interesting.

Here’s another fact that you might find interesting: when Witcher 2 released, it was about 12GB IIRC, but the entire game was in only a few files because the bulk of all assets were in one large file. Makes things really easy to manage and package up, but Steam didn’t have the ability to patch files, it had to be a full file replacement. So when the first update came out, everyone lost their minds at a 10GB update. Yeah, we don’t bat an eye now at updates that are this big, but back then people were on slow connections, even dial up or DSL < 3mbps.

It was from this that Valve decided to work on Steam’s ability to incrementally patch individual files. The next Witcher 2 update was < 100MB.

Lol never heard that before and it took me a second, but that’s clever.

Sounds like you had blades that didn’t work well with your skin. When I started using mine, I bought a big sample pack of blades and only a couple brands worked for me. The others were a nickfest.

Just don’t upset them, rhoid rage ain’t pretty.

Literally avoiding sleep right now for that very reason.

I do too despite how bad that is for my skin.

You also shower with this guy’s wife?

Right?! I totally understand that. The place I worked at was a diner, and weekend breakfast rush was always insane. Would go through hundreds of eggs in a single shift to the point the grill would actually cool off if we went through them too fast. We’d always get a few stacks out and ready for whoever was on the grill, because that was the one position that you had no time to do anything except attend to what’s in front of you. But if we went to fast, we’d be using eggs that came straight from the fridge. I loved being on egg grill duty because I had only one job, no other responsibilities, people brought things to you, and I was damn good at it.

That’s why I didn’t get it, it’s always the hot air balloon for me.

Some games really do depend on learned conventions from previous games which can feel a bit unfair to the uninitiated. It’s a double edged sword of avoiding too much tutorializing vs alienating newcomers.

As a teen, I worked at a restaurant as a cook. The pay was terrible, the hours were unforgiving, the amount of cuts, bruises, and burns I got deserved hazard pay, and my coworkers were overly dramatic backstabbers. Liked the cooking and getting through a huge rush of customers, loved that when I left for the day my responsibilities and thoughts about work were behind me.

…so getting bitten can actually lead to super powers… hmm.

As much as I’ve been excited about this content update, I didn’t know it required a server reset to get into it. Not sure I have it in me to start over just to see this.

Thanks for owning it. Didn’t see this blowing up in the way it did, and deleting was probably the best call. Tbf I chuckled, but also knew this wasn’t the right place for it. No pearls were clutched, but images like that are for my OTHER account.

1. TIL you cannot NSFW tag a comment. Thank you.
2. No not originally he didn’t, when I replied there was nothing but the image itself. Spoiler tags work on my client but this wasn’t spoilered.

Time and place, my guy. One, you didn’t mark this as NSFW, and two this isn’t a NSFW community.

Many years ago I quit caffeine for about 2 months. Withdrawals went away quickly, but I was missing my morning routine. When I finally went back, caffeine kicked my ass because I had zero tolerance to it, and I had to be really strict with my cutoff time for any caffeine for a long time. I still have to be careful ever since then. Used to be able to have coffee or soda at night and have zero effect. Luckily I’ve quit soda.

The most? Nah. Yes they’re fairly friendly to modders, but there’s been other cases of publishers going way out of their way to embrace a modder or mod group. I can think of one right now where a massive localization mod team actually had their work used as the basis of the official Western release of a game.

Ah, bummer. Well as long as it can run on Proton, I guess there’s no loss for me anyhow. But always a bad sign when newer OSes fail to support older games.

Haven’t played Fahrenheit in forever (not since it was Indigo Prophecy on the US Steam release), but never had issues. Is it having problems with more modern Windows versions now?
