If CDPR hadn't forced the team to crunch to get the game running at all on PlayStation, it probably would have been much more polished on release. A lot of the bugs you see in YouTube glitch compilations were due to this over-optimization (like NPCs vanishing or changing models when you looked away for a second).

I wonder how much better the game and its reception would have been if they'd dropped the last-gen console support during development. Those were the truly awful versions; the PC version was about even with Bethesda's launch day jank.

I also wish they'd properly managed expectations. The PC release was buggy and missing promised features, yes, but a lot of the hate came from it being a game with an open-world city with guns and driving but not mimicking GTA's systems.

Some people complain very loudly. It’s possible most of us actually had no problems & said nothing, leaving only the scorned to be heard.

So, believe it or not, what you said is why I was responding. To let you know “that performance issues are different for different people on different systems.” Seems like you forgot it yourself.

Have a nice day 😊

LandedGentry doesn't like this.

Could you remind me what features people were upset about? I stayed away from most of the drama since CDPR has a long history of releasing a free major upgrade a year or two after release that fixes everything people complained about.

I remember the dev diaries being pretty open about dropping features during development, like the RC drone turning from a staple of your kit into something shown off once in a mission and immediately forgotten.

Sorry, I meant "Plex took away free remote streaming".

You're being really, really snippy. Either have a coffee or take a breather, but calling strangers liars is way offside.

I'm not lying, I can show you my Fw config. My son called me yesterday saying he couldn't watch Plex, something about the Plex pass. I just changed the Fw rule DST nat mangle port and told him to use jellyfin. The user is local, so that's dead easy. Done in 10 minutes.

And yes, most users don't have this kind of experience, granted. But Plex comes with its own stupidities, like in 2020 when my wife had to pay $5 for the Plex app so she could access our library. Or the exercise of sharing libraries if you don't have a Plex pass, which is a real pain.

But that wasn't my point. I was trying to relay that jellyfin isn't as buggy and difficult as a lot of self hosters claim.

I mean, if they don't want to learn, there is always netflix, prime, Disney +.

Or stay with plex, no shade.

Or you take an afternoon and build something cool like this.

in reply to Selfhoster1728

Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom "install this app on your tv and log in", which is exactly what Plex does.

I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.

Evrenin yanında çok küçük kaldığımız biliyordum, bir hiç olduğumuzu biliyordum; ama böylesine ölçüsüz derecede hiç olmamız, bir bakıma kişiyi hem eziyor hem de güven veriyor. İnsan düşüncesinin sınırları dışına taşan şekiller ve boyutlar, çok, ama çok güçlü, tutunabileceğimiz herhangi bir şey yok mu bu evrende? İçine tepeleme daldırıldığımız o yanılsamalar karmaşası İçinde, bir hakikat heykeli olarak dikilmiş tek bir şey var, o da sevgi. Gerisi hiçlik, bomboş bir hiçlik. Kocaman, karanlık bir uçurumdan aşağı bakmaktayız. Ve, korkuyoruz.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on X on Wednesday that his time as a “special government employee” has ended.

President Trump on Wednesday responded to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk’s disappointment with the One Big Beautiful Bill act, which passed in the House last week and is now being negotiated in the Senate.

“The court ruled in favor of a permanent injunction, grinding Trump’s global tariffs to a halt before “deals” with most other trading partners have even been reached. That means the bulk – but not all – of Trump’s tariffs are put in a standstill,” CNN reported.

The Trump Administration swiftly appealed the ruling.

Tennessee GOP Congressman Tim Burchett said Wednesday that he thinks the Senate will make cuts in the SALT tax deduction, with regard to President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill."

Newly uncovered emails from the Biden administration’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) show that taxpayers could be on the hook for $191 million in removal costs for Vineyard Wind, a 62-turbine wind farm being constructed off the coast of Nantucket, as a result of waivers the administration granted Vineyard Wind and other East Coast projects.

Kneecap have since corrected the BBC over the headline, sharing the story on Twitter/X and writing: "Kneecap didn't 'pull out' of TRNSMT – Kneecap were removed."

The BBC's social media post has also been community noted – where social media users suggest context to posts – to reflect the fact that the band were axed and did not voluntarily pull out.

this is interesting, but i don't quite agree. i don't think this is model collapse, per se. i believe when you do "search" with an LLM, what you are actually doing is RAG: they are not constantly re-training their models on the online content they added to their index over the last 48hrs, they are querying their vectorized index of that content with your vectorized search terms, dumping that context into the LLM, and returning a long, chatty result. theregister.com/2025/05/27/opi…

Elon Musk announced last week that he will be rolling back plans for political spending in the midterm elections. That statement has Republicans who had been banking on him to finance their campaigns now rushing to prove their worth to him. In that announcement, Musk alluded to his disillusionment with Congress.

President Donald Trump's chief economic adviser is projecting that the "big, beautiful bill" working its way through Congress will help American families grow their income by $10,000 over the next few years, a statistic that could impact kitchen table politics and pressure senators currently reluctant to vote for the legislation.
