• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a real trip on acid like? Is there any comparisons in movies? I took 3 tabs once and it just turned the world literally black white and gray. Did I miss something like the euphoria or whatever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Did acid once, this was my experience:

  There were the typical effects like motion trails, moving patterns, etc, but honestly most of the effects were more tied to my emotional state than anything else.
  When I was feeling good, things look brighter, a little blurrier, softer, maybe a little more wavy, and I felt happier and more confident.

  But when I was feeling bad, things looked sharper, more intense, and with higher contrast. Small smudges on the wall would stand out, and I felt vulnerable like I was a little kid.

  Sounds were more intense and louder, almost like they were coming out of my head.
  Music was too intense for me at the peak, but it was great during the come down. It sounded really spatial like the music was all around me.

  My emotions could easily be swayed by the most insignificant things, like the colour of a light, a gust of wind, etc…

  It constantly felt like I was moving forward/progressing though. Something that made me ‘sad’ 20 seconds ago felt like it happened a long time ago.
  Any current problems felt like they had already passed, because I’d already been on the rollercoaster of emotions processing them. It was like a “I’ve felt everything there is to feel about that, time to move on” sort of thing.

  That’s the point.
  Then they’ll add more slop cores to their next generation of cards, and use that as their demo for how great their latest cards are.

  Their whole consumer business strategy since rtx has been to push the use of new rendering techniques that existing hardware is less capable of, while releasing new cards with dedicated cores designed specifically for their new techniques.
  If they didn’t have rtx or dlss, people would still be using their 980 ti’s.

  The context is, people around the world stick these (googly eyes) onto things to make them look ‘alive’.
  The glue is usually weak, so they can be removed easily, making this more of a comedic form of vandalism rather than destructive vandalism.

  It has nothing to do with the horrible shit happening in the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better performance and new exclusives.

  I’m waiting until they get cheap on the second-hand markets before even considering buying one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All but the steamdeck, because there’s no console exclusives any more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with phones. Buy a second-hand flagship from a couple of years ago (eg pixel 8), and use a pre-paid plan.

  It’s not just a few hundred dollars saved on the phone, it’s also a few hundred per year on less overpriced contracts.

  Prepaid plans have to be more competitively priced because you can switch at will.

  Well yeah, if you turn down a woman, she’s going to tell her friends about it.
  And those friends probably won’t be interested in starting a relationship with you any time soon.

  Those secret whisper campaigns sound straight out of a teenage movie, and not at all how mature people behave. I’d say you dodged a bullet in that case.

  Your anecdotal experience is not representative of everyone else’s though, and neither is mine.

  I don’t appreciate you resorting to personal attacks to convey your beliefs, so this will be my last reply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Men reject women all the time, with no societal repercussions.

  You have the right to not give someone a second chance, nobody is taking that away from you. I’m just saying the world isn’t always as shallow as your comments portray it to be.

  Rejecting someone doesn’t mean you have decided you can do better, or that you aren’t attracted to them. It means at that exact moment in time you weren’t prepared to enter that relationship.

  If you get mocked for rejecting a woman, you’re either still in school, or need to get some better friends. Because no sane, rational people would ever think less of you for who you do/don’t date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s understandable why you would feel that way.

  People change all the time though.
  Perhaps after some of those relationships, they found personality/stability to be more important than looks.

  Or maybe they’ve spent years regretting the decision, and the short relationships along the way failed because nobody could compare to you.

  Or maybe they genuinely are as shallow as you think, and you’re the last resort in the dating pool.

  You can never really know for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Practically impossible for this developer? Maybe. Technically impossible? No.

  We do have realtime GI solutions which don’t require raytracing (voxel cone tracing, sdfgi, screenspace, etc). None of which require any ‘special’ hardware.

  Raytracing is just simpler and doesn’t need as much manual work to handle cases where traditional rasterisation might fail (eg; light leaking). But there’s not many things it can do which we can’t already achieve with rasterisation tricks.
  Raytracing is mostly useful for developers who don’t have the time/budget/skillset to get the same visual quality with traditional rasterisation.

  However, in an industry which seems to prioritise getting things released as cheaply and quickly as possible, we’re starting to see developers rely heavily on raytracing, and not allocating many resources into making their non-rt pipeline look nice.
  Some are even starting to release games which require raytracing to work at all, because they completely cut the non-rt pipeline out of their budget.

  So I’d argue that you’re incorrect in theory, but very correct in practise (and getting even more correct with time).
