It could just be build up in the port. Throwing some sticky tack in there a bunch of times to pull out all the debris has "fixed" multiple devices for me.

So, they're videos.

If only there was a way to watch those.

I really liked the mechanics of the "first" game.

It felt like most non-fromsoft clones in terms of the map, though. No one else manages the feel of opening up the map like they do. Elden Ring is much more focused on the open world, so it approaches the use of space differently, but the way you can look back over some areas and see what you just spent hours battling through gives a similar feel of intentionality to the map design.

Lords of the Fallen not giving that feel is part of why I didn't spend as much time with it as the combat quality would imply.

It's better than the title implies. They also broke the MRI machine because they hit emergency stop buttons instead of stopping for a couple seconds to ask how to safely handle removing the gun.

(I'm not sure the cost difference between a graceful shutdown and an e-stop and can't find information, but if it's 250k worth of fix, I'm betting it's significant.)

You can keep hand waving away the statement of fact that lower precision input is lower precision input.

And yes, for actual photography (where people are deliberately still for long enough to offset the longer exposure required), you do actually need different lighting and different camera settings to get the same quality results. But real cameras are also capable of capturing far more dynamic range without guessing heavily on postprocessing.

It's not racist to understand physics.

It's exactly the same reason phone cameras do terrible in low light unless they do obscenely long exposures (which can't resolve detail in anything moving). The information is not captured at sufficient resolution.

For any scenario short of studio lighting, there is objectively much less information.

You're also dramatically underestimating how truly fucking awful phone camera sensors actually are without the crazy amount of processing phones do to make them functional.

Facial recognition works better on white people because, mathematically, they provide more information in real world camera use cases.

Darker skin reflects less light and dark contrast is much more difficult for cameras to capture unless you have significantly higher end equipment.

You just don't understand basic physics if you think there are other sports that aren't actual combat sports that are remotely comparable in impact to football. Rugby doesn't have comparable high speed impacts on a regular basis.

In terms of the strategy, very few sports have the discrete, precise play calling strategy that football does. Every sport has small picture tactics and broad strokes strategy. Football still has the small picture rule based decisions that are the bread and butter of most sports. But they're unique to each individual play call, change 70 times per game, and are completely different from week to week.

Sports are different.

If you ask someone to box at a world class level once a week for 4 months, the best case scenario is severe and permanent brain damage. The most likely outcome is that they literally die.

This is a clearly idiotic hate boner for football from someone who doesn't even have a rudimentary understanding of it.

Go away.

No, it means football is incredibly physically and mentally demanding and it's literally impossible to recover and implement a gameplan in less than the week.

There's a reason there has never once in the history of the sport been high quality execution on a non-opener Thursday night game or a single international game. The entire schedule of a full week is necessary to play anything resembling NFL football, which is already heavily compromised by the obscene limitations on practice time.
