God do I despise the mods of this subreddit. The reproduced below apparently is a duplicate post that is not permitted, presumably because it could be placed here instead:

BioWare what's your mailing address? I'd like to donate ten copies of Creativity Inc.

Link here to the amazon page for this book. Written by Ed Catmull, the head of Pixar from before it was even Pixar, Creativity Inc. is essentially a story about Pixar's history and how Ed and the other leaders of Pixar tried to first make a successful animated movie, and then maintain that success. It talks about how one movie they made required a lot of crunch and burned people out, and they resolved to never do it again, and haven't. It talks about growing a company where two different projects are worked on by different teams, and ensuring nobody feels like there is an A team or B team. It talks about making sure the driving force of a movie is the experience, not the technology or pleasing some shitty executive. It talks about giving responsibility and accountability to a single person who owns the project and makes decisions.

It basically talks about how Pixar tried to navigate every god damn pothole BioWare tripped on, and maybe if you read it when it came out in 2014 we wouldn't have this dumpster fire of a game.

There is some critical failure with several of the latest Nvidia drivers and this demo. I want to preorder, but won't until I know the issue is resolved in the full release.

​

I believe it's also described here and think it may be due to the fact that I PC game from my couch with my comp connected to a Samsung 4K UHD TV. Overlapping issue here with trying to monitor from an LG OLED TV, although I use a 1080ti card, not a 2080ti.

​

Essentially, loading the demo (and no other game/application on my PC), my screen turns bright purple and I observe extreme color distortion. Looks like this, which is a post by another user, not myself. Also, the color distortion pervades all PC applications until I completely restart my computer.

​

This also only happened AFTER I updated my Nvidia driver to the latest version, which for my card is 417.71. I did that because Anthem crashed 10min into my first play through. Once I rolled back to a prior version (417.01), the game worked again without any color distortion.

​

Any feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Darrah, please give this level 23 book to your web frontend people: https://www.amazon.com/Release-Design-Deploy-Production-Ready-Software/dp/1680502395/

They will be eternally grateful for it.

Among other things, it explains why "we'll just not advertise the link" is a non-viable strategy.

Save your money and buy Borderlands 2: GOTY edition for 9 dollars on Amazon. I promise that you'll be making a mistake if you buy this game.

If you have an old SSD and a console that has USB 3.0, you can pick up one of these and just plug the bare drive in. Works great on my X.

I was having massive temp spikes, but I undervolted my PC a bit, bought these 2 crazy vacuum things for my laptop (sucks out the hot air) and I started playing the game windowed with my bottom start bar set to hidden

My temps were high 70s low 80s but are now 56 celsius across cpu and gpu (max 60), my frames are 50s 60s, I'm running on high not ultra. And my cpu usage isn't 100% anymore (it's 99 but small victories lol)

Edit: here's the link to the vac thing I was talking about, I have 2 vents so I bought 2. There amazing. Had them both a month now, don't recommend using the "auto" function, just put it to manual and rock it on speed level 10 or 11 (max is 13)

Hey, when you swing by Microcenter, bring your original receipt and have them do some price matching for you, I can't see all the prices (and microcenter is generally pretty competitive) but I know you got at least $30 coming back on that power supply:

Here is where they match, you might want to run all the numbers quick!

Gigabyte AM3+ AMD 970 which replaced my ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z it's the AM3 chipset back in 2013.

the upgrade to am4 or threadripper will bring me some major gains! nvme, dd4 and cpu threads!

Just upgrade the drive. You can get a SSHD 1 or 2TB with faster load times too for like $60. Sony even has directions right on the PS4 website.

Not actually true. They do support and even have a Bluetooth dongle for it now.

As much I love you, my favorite mental gymnast. Somehow you think that a post getting to the front page makes your opinion correct and valid(cringey award speeches aside).

People like you end up making others scoff at certain gaming community/forum/subreddit, "I need to say it, bla bla bla", "C'mon guys you guys are really, bla bla bla", all sorts of stuff that you spew out, thinking you're above everyone. That apologist attitude and acting like BioWare is the second coming of Christ, hence can do no wrong. Ignoring comments not siding with your views, cherry-picking downvoted comments. Acting like the entire subreddit is a circle jerk and you're our guiding light, only hope from despair. It's well known that certain people will always hate a game regardless of severity and amount of issues present instead, you go about making it sound like the subreddit is a hivemind. Apparently having expectations for something you paid of is entitled and you should suck it up whether you receive a piece of garbage or a gem. Making two complain posts about how your complaint is more valid than others, BioWare can do no harm, the game is 11/10, "gosh darn millennials and their entitlement, wtf expecting quality for their money, what a bunch of nutcase".

What's with the "oh BioWare is owned by EA, hence BioWare can't do any wrong, EA bad", blink twice if you need help?

I have a gift for you if you want, I think it'll the best gift you ever get.

While I am aware that you're under NDA regarding the marketing and mental gymnast display, tone it down a little. Maybe make a new subreddit /r/GodPraiseAnthem.

Try using this, makes a world of difference.

Yep. All games.

...and after you've read the ME:A article, pick up a copy of Blood, Sweat, and Pixels by Jason Schreier for the -now familiar- development story behind Dragon Age Inquisition.

It's technically a hybrid SSD, but my buddy installed one on his base PS4 and it worked wonders. Black ops 4 was loading 15-20 seconds faster than my Pro. My wife got it for me for Valentine's day, but I haven't installed it yet.

So, just because you never saw a deal, does that mean it never went on sale?

I know this shouldn't be a solution but a 120 GB SSD is 20$ USD.
