    Yeah I dislike it a lot, but I’ve noticed on several platforms that if you have a weird aspect ratio, it will crop the image preview on either the sides or the top and bottom and require clicking it. Sometimes I just want a screenshot to be a thin line of text from a convo, ya know?


  • 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.








  • 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.
