the number of times i add a game to my isthereanydeal list and have no idea wtf it is when i get a sale notification.

A leitmotif or Leitmotiv[1] (/ˌlaɪtmoʊˈtiːf/) is a “short, recurring musical phrase”[2] associated with a particular person, place, or idea.

I don’t think any of DTs recurring musical phrases are “associated with a particular person, place, or idea.” Like there has to be more to it than recurrence to be considered a leitmotif. Recurrence in music happened a lot for various reasons before the idea of leitmotifs, so if you use the term generically to that extent it loses any meaning.

does that include a VAT?

It does, the overture doesn’t only introduces later songs (through leitmotifs), it reuses them again for a reprise and a finale.

yeah what I’m saying is I don’t think that’s really what a “leitmotif” is.

To me the simulation argument is just repackaged deism. It’s a fun thought experiment but unverifiable.

I’ll have to listen again but I don’t recall 6doit having any recurring musical phrases that accompany characters or other ideas throughout the album. there is an overture at the beginning that introduces the songs.

yeah I’ve done a lot of reading about people’s experiences so I’m not expecting it to work perfectly right away. I just found your comment particularly to match my life experience as well up to this point.

I was kind of in a long term funk of “everything is meh”

it was always some level of mental effort to get myself to do things

this is my entire life. I’ve spent a lot of this year with two different psychiatrists and four antidepressants, none of which did anything except a couple fucked with my sleep. Today my doc finally said okay let’s test for ADHD, and apparently my results are consistent with ADHD. So now I am here checking how Concerta works for people.

so why do we need this app again?

or is it a shrimp-like alien?

except we know Chinese people have been review bombing other games because BMW didn’t win. Sure doesn’t seem like a joke to them.

there’s an easy fix for that, don’t come anymore.

and what is the benefit? why should I take a 5% CPU hit for an NVIDIA app?

Why does it even need to be using CPU cycles while in a game anyway?

Ridiculous that this is even a discussion.

I mean, the Chinese players aren’t totally wrong, support from sales IS an important metric. Swen definitely should have worded that better. But is that worth a negative review, IDK. This seems to line up with Chinese culture as a whole though, which is usually polar opposite to the West.

rampant capitalism over workers’ desires lines up with Chinese culture?

and shitty health insurance.

dear god i finally found worse pizza than st. louis style pizza.

real american cheese is mostly made from a mix of other real cheeses, processed with some other stuff into a new thing.

the individually wrapped slices are less actual cheese and may not even contain enough to legally be called “cheese”.

so basically there are really different grades of american cheese, it is not all exactly the same thing. see the labels chart in the middle of this article:

this is not huge news.

but also when you rework game mechanics, add content like expansions, etc there will be even more new bugs. it’s a moving target.
