and are you really saving that much time when it's physically impossible to be working on more than one document anyway? i don't think so, unless you're just bad at keeping track of your things
it adds up, not only that switching between windows also acts similarly to "the boundary effect", and its very visually driven http://www.freakonomics.com/media/Radvansky%20Krawietz%20%26%20Tamplin%202011%20(QJEP)%20(1).pdftl;dr if youve ever gone downstairs and forgotten what you went downstairs for, its that if youre having to switch between windows to compare text, then forget and have to switch again to check, every switch a possibility for that effect, youre going to expend more brainpower thinking about that in between combine that with work and fatigue and its going to become a real mess in your head

This. More monitors is great. When I work, I never have any less than 5 Word documents open at any time. Add onto that a webpage or 2, an Excel file, an email in Outlook and 3 PDF's of legislation or literature. Constantly minimizing and enlarging is such a pain and waste of time when dealing with that many materials. We're given 2 screens by default and have the option of getting a third one as well.
i never have less than 4 word documents open in my free time, and minimizing works out okay for me--and are you really saving that much time when it's physically impossible to be working on more than one document anyway? i don't think so, unless you're just bad at keeping track of your things
granted, i don't use excel or outlook, but even if i were as busy as you are, i simply can't look at having more than one monitor as anything greater than a ludicrously excessive "luxury"--which i can only imagine how it must look to passersby
depends on how the application fits the workflow theres research on this done by UX designers http://usabilitynews.org/are-two-monitors-better-than-one/my answer is nobody needs dual monitors to complete the task at the very least but whether the costs could be amortized by the efficiency gained determines whether it would be worth it ive seen CAD studios where all computers had 2 monitors, some even three and photoshop studios where the overall size of a single monitor was more important

good answer
thats fine, i dont agree with it because constraints can make creation difficult, that said some manage better because their interests are just innocent
the pleasure of creation itself is difficult to come by these days, making something unique and enjoying the process lasts the rest of your life when you finally finish a project youve been working tirelessly on for weeks
I don't really view it as a "constraint" really. It's as much a constraint as anything else we feel uncomfortable with showing in movies, shows, or games. That's why we don't really have any toilet scenes that often, where we get to watch the MC take a dump during an off-day. And if there is, we often frown upon it, because it's disgusting.
Now, would you call that a constraint, or is it really kinda nice that we don't really encourage a lot of gross scenes like that in our games and films? I'd say the latter. I think if more movies had scenes like that, you yourself might even have a problem with it.
this might be nitpicking but depends if the uncomfortable scene means something david lynch, stanley kubrick, quentin tarantino (probably more his earlier stuff), hallmark names in breakthrough filmmaking because of their impact, not to mention they had quite a lot of sexual themes in their films too theyre well regarded because they broke the mold, gave way to more radical filmmaking because they did things their own way, for the people who didnt like it either didnt understand it or condemned it if they have to ask themselves what makes them as a filmmaker uncomfortable themselves and not have to have a second thought about it because it works so well, id have them go with that That's how I view depictions of sexuality. Sex (beyond my own personal reptilian interest in it) is a biological process that's honestly no more glamorous than taking a shit. We want it for no intellectually significant reason other than it gets our dicks hard, or our vaginas wet. It's just sick.
I play movies and watch games (I realize I messed up there, but I'm keeping it that way because it's funny), most of the time, for the messages and the themes, and you have to know how to respond to these messages, because they're not always good or valuable.
controversy never steered a good filmmaker away from their reins, its the reason we have films like platoon, hurt locker, black hawk and SPR im no filmmaker but id imagine they wouldnt give a second thought about sex if their gut feeling decided that was that again im not saying its wrong to not like that stuff, just having second thoughts could potentially impact a film greatly and you could tell whether a director had been stuck on a decision that shouldnt have thought about for so long

well do you like tits and ass
My biological roots, social conditioning, and sexual orientation have ordained against my own better judgment that I derive a perverse degree of sexual gratification from the female breast and the female ass, yes.
Do I like the concept of that? No. I separate my sexual interests from my lucid interests.

then does that mean you have a problem with things like erotica fiction or action for the sake of action in movies Yes.
say someone else didnt like medieval settings, would it be sensible to say that a game that did was just pandering to those who liked medieval games
thats not a good example, but its impossible not to pander if the idea that it could be done unintentionally could be applied to any piece of creative media
Find an example that pertains to the carnal desires of human beings and you'll have a better example. Medieval settings don't do that; sexuality does. Catering to sexual desires is the lowest, cheapest, dirtiest way of getting people's attention--specifically perverted and often misogynistic men. It degrades not just art, but the image of women as a whole in society. It's an insult.
Pandering to anything else isn't an insult, because they don't prey off a core fixation of the human psyche. It's incredibly underhanded and it goes far beyond a simple distaste for it. I want to see a puritan artistic movement that shuns all sexuality, because it's nothing to promote in media. It has no artistic value, and anyone who disagrees is probably just thinking with their reptilian cocks rather than their rational brains.

the audience is a bonus but im sure they chose it cause they liked it
i dont think its pandering if theyre making what they wanted to make
you could argue the same for films that shoehorn in diversity quotas or a character that happened to be gay
or ubisoft and memes for the kids I completely disagree with your first point--you don't have to be actively pandering to be pandering, and it's still just as bad either way. If not worse. Even if you're right, and it doesn't count as pandering, that doesn't automatically mean I'm okay with it. It's a crude depiction of sexuality. Of course I'm going to have a problem with that--it doesn't matter what the justification is.
Diversity quotas are a problem too. And memes, and any form of pandering whatsoever. It's all bad.
then does that mean you have a problem with things like erotica fiction or action for the sake of action in movies when people want to make art, authors, musical artists, its cause they are driven by whatever it is they choose to make the topic of, and to the best of the best their craft is almost like instinct that they can create without thinking people can make what they want to make as well as people can choose what they buy its impossible to create something good when you have no drive or ambition for it, and for no matter what the subject matter is, the best creators always make for themselves, for sure you can say that some of the greatest painters known throughout history loved to paint things that were considered risque at the time if you dont like butts in a game thats fine say someone else didnt like medieval settings, would it be sensible to say that a game that did was just pandering to those who liked medieval games some people like butts, some people like medieval games, when you create something youre probably not the only person who likes what your work revolves around, there will always be someone to pander to if that not a good example, but its impossible not to pander if the idea that it could be done unintentionally could be applied to any piece of creative media

ass isn't allowed
Why does a robot need to have one?
organic design
they couldve made it about a robot horse or a robot tree
It's a rhetorical question--the answer is because they're pandering.

And there's mine. Pisses me off. While my family a few miles south of me gets up to 60+ Mb/s But it's "not available" in my area. Fucking bullshit.
if you can afford to lay those miles of fibre optic cable i dont see why not
Its not always a matter of affordability. Sometimes your area doesn't have it. In my case I have Charter as my ISP and they claim to have fiber optic cables, yet my internet is fast but not as fast as Droid's internet. Mainly because I live in California and shit is expensive as fuck here just for decent internet alone.
that was rhetoric
it would probably cost several thousands
Our plan is $60 a month here. And that's just for regular decent cable internet that's not slow as balls like DSL.
I'm at least happy that it works and its decent.
i was talking about how much it would cost to lay several miles of fibre optic cable thats why its not available in their area their ISP or council has to invest in the infrastructure of that area to allow them to have access to fibre optic and that would cost several thousands

I don't think anyone has fibre around where I live.
then the infrastructure is not available for it until they decide to dig up your road or put in new telephone poles you probably wont get faster internet

i explained it
speeds dont mean anything through your closest server because youre likely downloading from somewhere several hundred miles away and you dont know what kind of data centres or such you go through with your ISP, and just as well someone on the other side of the earth could download faster than you
again its a lottery
if it works well for you, good
if it doesnt for others, unlucky for them
If it's a lottery, then why do people keep blaming PSN directly for their problems?
probably cause they dont know much about networking neither do i but its never just a simple a-b connection and from my experience could vary wildly with location and ISP

I've had this shitty cheap-ass Internet connection for years (my download speed is slightly worse than yours), yet when I download a large game or update on PS4, it doesn't take any time at all. It only took ~35 minutes to download an 8 gigabyte update for Street Fighter, and the Nier demo only took about ~15.
Maybe don't blame your personal problems on the service itself, you fucking spastic, because not everyone has it as bad as you. Sorry. Apparently you just suck.
thats pretty good i think
even 15 is enough to stream 1080p video these days
on a side note those tests usually pick closest servers instead of the actual servers you download from, so youd always have a pretty high speed
youre actually probably downloading your games and stuff through several different servers, some of those servers might be better than others, some might be worse, its possible someone half the world away from the server might have better download speeds than you, depending on your ISP it can be a lottery on how well it does this
a better test might be to select some server in germany for EU or iirc US servers probably in california somewhere
it still won't be an accurate test but probably a better measure than what you're getting through a server less than 50 miles away
I only used it because the OP used it. So according to the same test he used, my download speed is about the same as his, if not slightly worse.
Yet, apparently, by the time it takes him to download 300 megabytes of a 14 gigabyte game (~45 minutes), I'd already have the game fully downloaded. That's still unexplained. Apparently I'm in this minority where PSN is godly, and for everyone else, it's the worst thing ever.
i explained it speeds dont mean anything through your closest server because youre likely downloading from somewhere several hundred miles away and you dont know what kind of data centres or such you go through with your ISP, and just as well someone on the other side of the earth could download faster than you again its a lottery if it works well for you, good if it doesnt for others, unlucky for them plus you might not be in the minority, people who are met with faulty service are more likely to be vocal about it over people with things working exactly how it should i dont think i would be as compelled to give feedback if all i could say was "this works exactly as i expected it to"

Sometimes if I know nothing about what I'm going into. But I try not to overall, because it'll just sour something I wouldn't have focused on otherwise.
Half of the performance issue ones are written by AMD bottom-feeders, and don't apply.
i guess you could worry about it less with the refunds now 2 hours might not be enough sometimes

I'd play it if I had a PS4, but yeah I can't. The combat looks somewhat interesting, but eh, I miss the old turn based.
i hope you dont mean the ATB system

its worth reading the bad ones for any consistencies in long-standing bugs and such
either way steam reviews are always worth checking out imo
sometimes the type of game that isnt for another person is the kind of game for me, reviews that are negative sometimes describe a game that won't appeal to that person, and sometimes they would even say it's not for them

Not to be one of "those" people, but Morrowind did it the best way; the story was built around the fact that you're new to the land and didn't push you down a certain set of quests. You could choose your house and build your name through your choice in adventures, which culminates in the finale. Every playthrough will end with the same few quests, but you don't feel railroaded into it because all of the "main quests" just play out like side quests that tie into your goal. Hell, every quest was related. It kept everything focused and resulted in a stronger overall narrative.
i havent played it but that sounds nice
i feel like i missed out but im not the kind of person to go play old games i didnt experience at the time
If you do ever play it, be warned: it looks like a 3D RPG but it's a D20 game with prettier graphics. Missing and dodges are frustrating if you don't expect them.
I would also recommend a leveling mod. Some people consider it cheating
It's not that people consider it cheating--it's that it is factually cheating. She's gonna do what she wants anyway, but don't encourage this. During one's first playthrough, the game should be experienced in its raw state, flaws and all, so that one can experience everything for him or herself. Maybe she would've liked the old leveling system--you have no idea.
id say its cheating if it makes it easier by most measures, like its faster or simpler it could be more difficult or in depth, who knows but yeah id play the game normally first too
