Is it possible to zap with static something in my PC if I cover it with a blanket while disconnected from the power outlet?

I was wondering why I had no issue with my Firefox addons. It turns out I allowed "studies" in my preferences, and a study fixed the issue before I could notice it.
Props to Mozilla.
To be honest, I think it's pretty scummy to lock the fix behind an option that sends your data to Mozilla. No official patch at this point is unacceptable.

Just finished Pillars of Eternity II with all the DLCs and I fear that it will be a looooooong time before we see another masterpiece like this... I really really hope MS let's Obsidian do a third game.
This probably sounds silly and tbh it is but whatever, but I'd be shocked if they ever made a proper RPG again, under Microsoft.
Big corporations and RPGs just don't mix.
It makes no sense to buy Obsidian (and InXile) if you don't plan to play to their strengths. They could get a lot more bang for their buck if they just wanted a handful of devs to toss at Forza or w/e than 2 devs not known for their polish, speed, or budgetary restraint.
Sorry for the late reply but I think this post presents a common fallacy so I thought I'd share my view. There's really no point in comparing one community with another and their different behavioral tendencies, especially when consoles don't have any tools for review bombing, or any reviews for that matter. You can simply leave a rating and that's it--it's impossible to deduce how many people are disgruntled over exclusivity, the game's framerate or anything else. Not to mention, there is really no purpose to review bombing if your message isn't getting across since a score in and of itself is useless without context.
Around 3,700 negative reviews were published for Rocket League in the last 30 days which represents almost 2% of the total 192,000. In the worst case scenario all of those reviews are part of the "review bombing" and hence have a potential impact of lowering the overall score with 2%. Is this significant enough to claim that this is a problem, or that it's a tendency only PC-players have, or honestly anything at all?
I think the term review bomb loses its meaning when people frequently refers any influx of negative reviews as bombing, but in this case I think it's something in-between. It's a lot of hyperbole and nonsense but I also share some of the concern many people are conveying. We just don't know what the future looks like and they haven't been motivated to clear things up in any capacity other than "nothing announced at this stage" which essentially means anything can happen. The userbase is healthy, with a lot of heavily invested people with thousands of dollars worth of skins or various investments so of course people will be wary when all of that is jeopardized. I don't think it's surprising in the least considering Epic's previous behavior.
Ehh... I don't believe corporations see niche appeal as a strength.
To go from Kickstarted RPGs to working under one of the Big Three will cause whiplash, no matter how much freedom they are given.
I mean, they bought like 6 niche developers, and they are focused on gamepass. Why bother buying 2 CRPG devs if they're not going to continue AA level development? If they're going to be on a big AAA project, they'd just buy 1 and staff them up.
Or really, they wouldn't buy either. Neither are any good at what MS would want. MS will be going for a quantity thing
I liked the first Fable. I really did. But I hope this is not how it ends :(Please be excited for Fable 4 from Obsidian.
Playground will be the Fable Studio from here on out. Obsidian might help here and there, but they're likely sticking with Outerworlds or going with something else after. Since I think MS will give up that IP before it decides to make a sequel that's multi-platform as well.
Someday, someday.
I finished Pillars of Eternity this year, so nothing's impossible.
Well, except for me finishing a Souls game.
What percentage of Steam users do you honestly believe have the review bomb protection turned off? For the vast majority of Steam users Rocket League still shows at very positive. I do honestly believe they way you said it was misleading due to the way Valve/Steam now handles off topic review bombs, especially when you knew about the off topic review bomb protection.
Do you think that review bombs are a poor way of average consumers to communicate their dislike of a policy or action to major companies? Not saying that they can't be abused, but that's true of anything and we've seen stuff like review bombing of GTA5 causing Rockstar to change their policy on GTA mods or the review bomb of Skyrim over the way paid mods were handled that lead to positive changes. How else would you suggest consumers voice their opinion in a way that will be as noticeable to major corporations?
Just for clarity. Playground is staffing an entirely new project team for Fable. Horizon devs remain on Horizon.
This process had started before the buyout as they were wanting to expand beyond the Forza franchise while also delivering on prior commitments to Microsoft.

With regards to PC gamers being more angrier than console counterparts. To be fair we have to put up with a hell of a lot of shit from the industry, We have been told countless times our preferred platform is dying. We are constantly treated like an after thought and secondclass customers by most devs and we have had companies like Epic basically jump ship, give us the middle finger and call us all fucking thieves. Now things are not so rosy in the console market we have Epic coming back and trying to buy it's way into a monopoly and destroy the company that stayed behind and committed itself to supporting the PC platform, yet for some crazy reason valve is the bad guy here and Epic are the poor hard done by guy that keeps getting picked on by review bombers and nasty Twitter posters.
- DisplayFusion is essential if you have an ultrawide monitor or multi-monitor setup in my opinion, and it typically gets heavily discounted in the sales. It has an extremely long list of features that significantly improves window management no matter what your display setup is.
- Lossless scaling is a good way to play games that have a fixed resolution full-screen without blurring, so long as they support windowed mode.
I don't think they're trying to hide anything, it's just the fastest channel for them to get the fix out to people considering that it happened at midnight on a Friday.
Ah yes the usual E3 leaks.
I wonder what Japanese games we will see during MS' confrence. They revealed the first trailer for FighterZ during their event last time.
Please read above comments playground games new team is rumored to be working on a Fable game. Obsidian is likely going to be working on a new title.
I see it, that Console gamers are more approving or resigned on anticonsumer bullshit.
PC gamers were "more angry" at paid online. PC gamers don't have any paid online while all 3 consoles have it now.
The first one is easy, just keep circling him and almost everything he does misses. The later one is... trickier.
Underwater ones are easier because you deal them damage without confetti.
While looking for information about Griftlands, I stumbled upon this article published in January about the most anticipated games of 2019.
I like the part about Ori and the Will of the Wisps:

My girlfriend has been picking a game to spectate me playing recently, as she finds some stuff relaxing to watch. We beat Slime Rancher (after a month or two, since she only dedicates a couple of hours at it every so often), and now she's picked to spectate me playing Assassins Creed: Origins. First time playing. I'll never see the end of the game with this style of playing.
Pray for me.
Pray for me.
Make a youtube channel out of it and call it girlfriend reviews :>
But what about playing something like Life is strange.
Anyone else unable to login to origin? I was gonna play a bit of battlefront II after I bought it on star wars day. But it seems to be down. doh.
Was Mordhau expected to be this popular? I think I was aware of its existence before it launched but never thought it'd be blowing up like it has.
That would suck if they're stuck working on the fable ipPlease be excited for Fable 4 from Obsidian.
Already played that through, actually. She kept choosing to be a complete dickhead to everyone and got a bit mad when bad end type stuff kicked off. Only causing herself trouble.
Can't be worse than making another Star Wars game.Please be excited for Fable 4 from Obsidian.
Neat. Good for them.
By the by, is there a way to see the topsellers list for other territories easily? If not I'd be curious to know how TW:3K has been doing over there.
