The US is indeed backwards.

Absolutely. The solar road and rail things are just startups trying to make some quick cash. The real solution is to add shade with solar and put it on top of buildings. Even fields of solar is good, you can use a small amount of space for massive gains. It's all push back from the right, who are in the pockets of billionaires, otherwise it's a simple problem to solve.

Fuck cars, but this is how you deploy solar.

My dog loved it, depends on the individual, same with cats.

Fair. Fuck AI and its defenders.
- Comment on Why so many Steam games have weirdly similar (and forgettable) names 2 weeks ago:
Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Battlegrounds is such a weird case. The name was stupid to begin with, everyone ended up just calling it PUBG. Then they rebranded to PUBG being the company name and the game name, but then slapped Battlegrounds on the end?!
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 2 weeks ago:
I have a lot. I want to see an official twist on it. Something that everyone can discuss and doesnt become irrelevant.
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 2 weeks ago:
Well, they decided to make a new version and bottled it, so now have a lot of tech debt to catch up on. The Java version has had work for sure, but unpaid modders still do more for optimisation.
I'm not sure on who the developers are anymore, but I sure hope the people working on the backend are not the ones relied on for new content either.
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 2 weeks ago:
The game has limitless untapped potential.
They could make a whole new dimensions that are essentially a new game plus. With new, harder mobs, bosses with actual mechanics, new gear, resources, etc.
The creative sandbox aspect of the game is fantastic, I love creating things and seeing what other people make, but the survival aspect has had no real expansion. Their horrible balancing and failed combat update leaves no wiggle room for new weapons. The wooden axe does the same damage as a diamond sword.

Why do anything cool when they can spend 6 months adding 1 feature from a mod?

Unless there's a massive bubble pop, not for 5+ years. Thanks to all the long term agreements!

I think the next Xbox is supposed to be more open, but still, yeah, just a buy a PC... when it's affordable... gulp
- Comment on PlayStation Reportedly Sending Game Developers Massive Survey With Question Asking About Physical Discs 3 weeks ago:
If you want to sell without discs, then you need to open your hardware up and allow storefront competition and DRM-free games.
That's why people are angry, not just because of the physical media aspect.

Why would Todd hate what made his franchise what it is?
- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 3 weeks ago:
They need a massive engine upgrade/overhaul instead of a new IP right now.

Seen many things, him in interviews and Q&As, and have no idea what you are talking about with 4chan. Guy is full of himself.

"Guys, I know you are making the next Elder Scrolls right now, but I have this really cool space game I want you all to work on instead! It wont be shit I promise!"

Really? Isnt it just Todd going around demanding things? Id never want to work under that narcissitic dick.

It literally doesnt matter. Halo died with Bungie and Bungie died with Halo.

Portal 1 and 2 are two of the greatest games that will ever be made.

With some of the shit people put up with nowadays in games, they would probably swallow this up too, in some capacity.

Really? The last time I played it was 90% bots, was so boring.
- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 1 month ago:
Dipping your monitor in shit is better than TAA. These upscalers have caused developers to use them as a crutch. Instead of making a performant native game with good MSAA options, they speed run the game and then slap DLSS (or the alternatives) on at the end for 60fps.
I get it's not usually their fault, with crunch times etc, but it's still a decision someone makes, that the customers could push back on. NVIDIA is spearheading it as a means to sell GPUs, locking newer DLSS versions behind new hardware and paying studios to support and advertise DLSS. I mean, at least until the AI boom, now they couldnt give a fuck about us little guys at all.

Problem is, cases dont even handle it anymore. The bumps are too big that you are gonna need a thick case.
Samsung S23-24 is a good example of an acceptable bump, a case flattens that out and isnt bulky.
- Comment on Back to the future 1 month ago:
Massive annoying bumps to make the rest of the phone 0.1mm thinner. No camera bumps should be the priority design, not every increasingly large ones that even cases can't obscure now.

DLSS is a plague.

Caught the addiction
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 1 month ago:
You are forgetting that acting is a job. One the actors have the freedom to decide and negotiate their terms.
It's perfectly reasonable for a character to have armpit hair, even if that personally offends you.
The actor can decide what to do with the director or whomever. You dont need to project your own opinions onto some random actor, they have their own.
Also, it is absolutely fucking okay to expect consistency in a film/show.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 1 month ago:
Exactly, but even so, it's an actors job, many lose weight, gain muscle, grow hair, lose hair, all the time for the role. Such a strange thing to be angry about, let the actors decide themselves lmao. What's with the new trend of people getting offended on behalf of others?
