No helmet? Self-solving problem
- Comment on Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this? 3 days ago:
Voyager has terrible writing, it barely make sense. The only good things to come out of it are The Doctor and Seven of Nine.
- Comment on Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this? 3 days ago:
Imagine this: let’s say the writers themselves do understand the highest level of competence. They write the Voyager crew in a way so that they handle all issues perfectly. How would it be possible for them to come up with any situation where this Voyager crew is challenged? - they can’t. Because they are portraying them as perfectly competent, which is based in the writer’s imagination, the definition of this perfect competency is that the writers could not come up with a way for them to be challenged.
Sorry but this assumption doesn’t hold up. You can still face difficult odds while doing everything competently. It’s one of Picard’s best quotes: “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”. You can be absolutely perfect, but good luck beating a Q when it doesn’t want to humour you.

Yeah, this one’s a bit too much, both in itself, and when added to all the other weird ones. I could be ok with this in a 20+ episode season, but for one this short, it’s too much.
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 1 week ago:
My goal was to explain why the status quo is the way it is and most of it does come down to whatever makes the games the prettiest. I can’t fault people for that.
You can and you should. Just blindly going through life chasing your own enjoyment at the expense of everything else is egoistical and detrimental to civil society. Egoism is what is destroying the world.
Everything in life shouldn’t require research and an ethics check.
Unfortunately it does, and while I agree we can’t fix everything at once, some things are easier than others.
These kinds of issues are why we have elected officials and governing bodies and it’s their failures you should be upset at.
Yeah, and that’s another thing where people should pay more attention, but they don’t because they care more about their immediate satisfaction, with hobbies and enjoyment, rather than long-term outlooks.

Yeah, you’re confirming that
gamerspeople care more about numbers and shiny things than principles. Who cares if lighting is slightly better in a game when having that destroys your hobby?
Gamers made nVidia’s fortune and nVidia is one of the main reasons for the crypto and ai messes. It’s not the only factor but it’s one. - Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 1 week ago:
I’ve been AMD-only since forever, since before AMD cards even existed, my computer ran an ATi card when AMD bought them and when they went from being team green to team red. I swore off nVidia after they killed 3dfx, that’s decades ago.
I never had problems running games except when they were infected by nVidia’s fuckery, and I never had to put much effort in avoiding them.
Gamers just care more about big numbers and shiny things more than they care for the well-being of their hobby, and are directly responsible for part of the AI-shitshow we’re in nowadays.
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 2 weeks ago:
Only problem with that is that a society like that becomes very unsuccessful, lowering the standard of living for everyone, including the rich.

Yeah how are you supposed to carry it home otherwise?

Yeah, never heard of them before, seems like they make lots of ports? I surely will remember them now if I ever see a game with their name on it

I don’t mind them trying different stuff, even when it doesn’t work. That’s how Star Trek always was.

Ok since y’all want to pick fights without trying to understand: fascism was a reaction to the growing leftist movements. It’s called reactionism because that’s what it does. Killing a few assholes won’t solve anything except give rise to some variation of this.
The foundation for change like this is a cultural shift, otherwise all you’ll get is some more repression.

- Comment on Panino police: packed lunch bans enrage Italians at pricey beach clubs 1 month ago:
Beach culture in Italy is almost as toxic as Football. Fuck resorts, the legalised corruption with which they assign licenses, fuck all the people packed together on a tiny patch of sand “washed” by trash and piss-filled water, fuck highways with kilometres-long queues and overpriced petrol.
If I have to go the beach, I go to rocky beaches, where the water is clear and there are less people because they’re all brain-dead pussies. Bonus points if it takes a hike to get there.

Yeah but it’s the half that doesn’t need their instruction manual to tell them to not dry their cat in the microwave, I think it’s ok

Pizza ovens are usually at around 320°C, I’ve seen from 300 to 350… I’ve never seen one set above 350

I love how this (old) image feels like something out of dystopian fiction.
I could see it on the wall in Half Life 2, or Deus Ex. Not Cyberpunk 2077 'cause they wouldn’t need it.
