I’m aware and not really worried about that

Not quite what I’m asking, that’s just python under a js wrapper - block javascript and none of that works.
- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 2 days ago:
I see that as mostly positive 😆

Doesn’t a browser need to have javascript enabled to even run WASM? That beats the entire point of getting rid of js

But that was something that had to be installed on the system and integrated into the browser, not quite what i’m asking as it wasn’t an alternative browser per se

Interesting. Too bad it only supports HTML4. The ELinks fork doesn’t mention whether it supports HTML5 (canvas and other more recent stuff), so I suppose it doesn’t

Hey, don’t insult anon’s inceligence! I bet he also has a finely a finely curated selection of k-on anime figures and essays on why wimminz should submit to men like him, which they would totally understand and fawn over him if they had galaxy brains like he has!

Now that you mention it, I wish there was a musou-like (Hack and slash that mindless horde) or EDF-like game (BLOW THE WHOLE FUCKING CITY TO SAVE IT!!!) where the enemies are nazis.

That’s why you need to convince, not show proof :)

The market can stay irrational, yadda yadda. Also, Nvidia and Microsoft know they’re the major pillars of the bubble (M$ being the single largest backer of OpenAI) ones that have the most to lose, so they have to keep the illusion going to keep their stocks from nosediving and, more importantly, to keep lawyers and prosecutors off their backs.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 5 days ago:
Yeah, been hearing that shit since OnLive. 15 years later and cloud gaming is still niche. Throw that prediction together with “we’ll have super AI by 2030”. Neither Nvidia’s Geforce NOW or Xbox Cloud Gaming have open financial reports, being thrown together under other umbrellas. Google didn’t have the foresight to see that cloud gaming wasn’t “the next big thing”, but at least it was a project that surprised no one when they announced it was being killed.
The only reason to think “we’ll all be streaming games” in 3 years is because nobody will be able to buy electronics due to AI shitting the RAM market. The more likely result is more people making do with what they have and less games aiming for 300GB install size and 16GB minimum VRAM

Don’t forget the great success of Google Stadia!

That medal comes from a dishonored company, so it wouldn’t count

You just need to convince Satya Nadella that it’ll be profitable. Like, billions of dollars in ROI profitable.

The one I remember best is how I found out how to cheese Final Fantasy Tactics’ battles for lots of xp. Not really “breaking enemy AI”, but mechanic abuse, as the speed buildup meant the last enemy (which I would intentionally leave alive for as long as I needed) would only get its turn after each of my own dudes had like 3+
In many real time games, the easiest way is to abuse enemy pathfinding. My most recent case is with Palworld: most enemies just try to make a straight line towards you, build anything and they often won’t be able to properly hit you. A lot of pal skills ignore ground and cover, tho, so there’s that. This works better with human enemies.
A similar case of pathfinding abuse I often did was when I played Sea of Thieves. Get skellies to follow me, get back to my ship, blast them with a cannonball or snipe them. Easy. Too bad I always sucked at properly aiming and hitting other ships

Never understood the hate for the French.
Just look up their colonial past. Before you think “That’s old stuff now”, some places still suffer from French colonialism today
One of the founding principles of the (CFA, African Financial Community) was that colonies had to keep 50 percent of their foreign currency reserves in the French Treasury, plus an additional 20 percent for financial liabilities. Thus, member states only retained 30 percent of reserves within their borders.
The monetary zone limits industrialization and economic development and discourages trade among member states

If anything, your hate makes us stronger.
You may want to recalibrate that, you’re looking awfully weak and french
