Just give me an AGP slot on my phone. Hell, toss in a SCSI while you’re at it.
- Comment on Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? 4 months ago:
You might want to X-post to c/relationshipadvice as well. That being said, the only one responsible for kidnapping anyone is the kidnappers. And no one should expect their friends or lover to kill their kidnappers. It would likely get you killed in the attempt. On top of this, these are all hypotheticals.
Someone who is using hypotheticals that they made up in their head against you is more worried about themselves than you.
It is not my place, but this person sounds like someone I wouldn’t even want to be friends with, let alone date. Friends are there to build each other up, not tear them down and add anxiety.
- Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ? 4 months ago:
Most older games will have 2-3 engine loops that they will blend between and pitch accordingly, however Forza 5 specifically was the first in the series to use granular synthesis which is a much more modern approach.
These will have a series of sound files including all the different parts of the engine, exhaust, turbo, etc. Then the software slices these files into tons of pieces in real-time and plays the slices based on the players inputs.
It’s tricky to explain without examples, so here’s a video that does a decent job of explaining how it works in music: youtu.be/ftDLRYnRYZQ?si=SEHOl55K7rimi4Eu

I’ll pitch in since no one’s mentioned Reelgood.com yet. Justwatch has been inconsistent for me in the past.
- Comment on Colorado’s Bold New Approach to Highways — Not Building Them | The state has made it harder to widen highways, and transportation officials are turning their eyes to transit. 5 months ago:
I wonder what part they canceled. They’ve been doing construction on I-25 adding an express toll lane for the last year in NoCo. Maybe they’re referring to the fact that there’s bus stops along the way that will use said express lane?
- Comment on Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution. 5 months ago:
I can second the white noise. I fall asleep to a mix of rain, wind and rolling thunder pretty much every night. It probably takes about half the time it used to now that I do it as a habit.
- Comment on [QUESTION] What is the most realistic game that also can run on Linux distros? 5 months ago:
I second Horizon. There are moments where I’m convinced the graphics are pre-rendered when cranked to the max.

- Comment on I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” 6 months ago:
I had the same house all the way from the opening mission to 40 hours in. She was killed by an ambush in the woods and I couldn’t pick the game back up for a week.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
To add to this, the opposite of love is not hate, but ignore.
Giving your energy and attention to hating something typically means that they occupy enough mental real estate in your day to day life that you feel the need to broadcast it on a regular basis.
The liberals I know tend to spend the majority of their free time focusing on improving themselves and the world around them rather than simply target blame somewhere else.

Damn. This is an excellent concept. If I didn’t see the sub, I would have assumed this was a real piece. Excellent work!

Nah. Sun just acts as the Queen Atom. Without it, you’d end up with a Helvetica Scenario. This is basic science.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why his gf would cheat on him. He sounds like such an honorable fellow.
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 6 months ago:
I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.
I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.
I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

- Comment on What is your most watched movie, and how many times did you watch it? 7 months ago:
Waking Life. I tend to learn something new from it pretty much every time. It’s an incredibly dense movie talking about what it means to be alive and why we should value it. It was my introduction to a lot of Eastern philosophy.
- Comment on The Triple-i Initiative gaming showcase is coming April 10th 7 months ago:
Indie indie indie. It’s a play on AAA games, as far as I understand it.
- Comment on My collection, 7 years in the making 7 months ago:
They can be had for $30 on eBay these days. I used one for a school project when I was in middle school and picked it up mostly for the nostalgia. I do highly recommend picking up a manual as well if you plan on trying to make use of it.

Man, I’d honestly be really disappointed if that’s the case. It’s not even that I’m a big fan of WB characters specifically, but getting another classic cartoon-reality crossover is almost always a blast. And it’s not like their branding couldn’t use something new. Can’t remember the last time I’ve thought of most of their characters.

- Comment on It’s Official: Cars Are the Worst Category We Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy 1 year ago:
I’ve always looked at cars like factory equipment. They should do the job you ask and nothing more. Granted, more comfortable and prettier than factory equipment, but as far as functionality, it should be a static piece of metal until I start it, do the needful of spinning the motor and wheels and then stop. Anything else is a distraction from driving which I consider to be a distraction risk.
All these new cars with multiple screens, operating systems, internet connectivity, auto assists… it’s like we’re creating an entertainment center on wheels. Why bother the poor driver with the idea that they’re flying down the highway at 80 when you can convince them they’re in a floating living room?
Driving should be scary because it is, and the more we distance people from the road they’re driving on, the more of a surprise it will be when their “automagic” car sends them into a wall it didn’t detect.
Now as on the privacy issues that the car company makes wicked profit on and you’re making cars for the manufacturer and forgetting that the goal was to deliver the driver safely to begin with.
They want us to forget somehow that driving is one of the single most dangerous things people do daily. If you’re not completely alert being the wheel, you shouldn’t be behind it at all.
- Comment on Tesla repossessed my car due to an extreme oversight on their end 1 year ago:
I can’t imagine buying a car that has the ability to lock me out of it remotely. Imagine if you didn’t have a nearby friend or relative to drive you home. If you’re the last guy to close at your work and it’s 2AM and your car doesn’t start because of paperwork not being filed correctly. Absolutely mind blowing.
- Comment on The Weekly Discussion Topic - Game UIs - 04-08-2023 1 year ago:
This is why I do it. To encourage me to look around the game world and truly appreciate the amount of work that went into creating it. The games that build gameplay around no map benefit so much by allowing me to explore. It’s made WD:Legion so much more fun to approach. I get to figure out my way around building by using the gameplay mechanics they built and plan a route like a “real” hacker.
- Comment on The Weekly Discussion Topic - Game UIs - 04-08-2023 1 year ago:
Oh, I absolutely did, and for exploring it adds a ton to the experience, but when trying to complete missions, there will be a dozen points marked on the minimap and no visual cues otherwise. Or if I need to travel to a mission, same thing. I disable it when I can, but I find myself having to re-enable every 10 minutes.
