How does someone’s entire conception of video games still involve quarters in (after) 2023. Thats honestly insane to me. Like how do you let that person create any type of art, let alone a tv show based off of a video game, if they have that little awareness of the world around them. Like ehst did this guy do before this. “We want you to make a commercial for our new operating system. ‘Oh computers, thats easy. Most computers are pretty simple. You feed in a punch card and you can make the computer do things. MacOS XV changed all that, it doesnt even need punch cards.’”’

But if being without a room is a form of suffering, then wouldbt it make more sense to distribute that suffering equally, so that no one person has to bear an unendurable length of time without a room, instead each person is just momentarily inconvenienced as they shift.

I remember my buddy getting a whole bunch of viewsonic CRTs from his dad who worked at a professional animation studio. They could do up to 2048×1536 and they looked amazing, but were heavy as fuck for lan parties lol. I loved that monitor though, when i finally ‘upgraded’ to an lcd screen it felt like a downgrade in alot of ways except desk real estate.

Just to note, in a few years theres a convergence of when the major union contracts are up for renegotiation, so they’re already planning for a general strike. So it sucks having to wait until may 2028, but do what you can to get as many unions off the ground and onboard in the meantime. Getting any new unions going would probably be the most impactful thing you could do regardless of if there is a general strike, as it increases the negotiating power, and anyone not in a union is in a really difficult position if and when a strike does happen.

How would someone even know you’re ‘praying’ in public ynless youre making a spectacle about it? Thats what people dont want in the streets, large public demonstrations that seek to suck in and take advantage of vulnerable people. People know they can go to any of hundreds of churches or religious institutions if they want that sort of thing, but accosting strangers in public with your religion is not appropriate. You wanna sit on a park bench with yojr eyes closed and talk to god in your head, no one is going to stop you though.
- Comment on Capcom is experimenting with generative AI to help generate the “hundreds of thousands of ideas needed for game development" 3 weeks ago:
The Sopranos ran from 1999-2007. The Wire was 2002-2008. Its always sunny in philadelphia started in 2005. Curb your enthusiasm started in 2000. Scrubs started 2001. So its not even just that two of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time were made in that time period, but some of the most groundbreaking and influential comedy shows also. If you think breaking bad was some sort of turning point for TV you missed a lot of history.

Maybe 28 would be a better average, but even if wvery women in your line gave birth at 12.5 that only doubles the other. And its fair to say not every mother would have been a first child. Also many still would have been born later than 25, so it probably evens out pretty well.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag 4 weeks ago:
Why does the price have to increase? As you said, if rising sales covers the rise in development costs, then also raising the price on a digital good that is infinitely reproducible at no extra cost is just double dipping. These game publishers make crazy profits. Prices for everything don’t have to just keep rising perpetually.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 4 weeks ago:
Thats literally what i said, if youre gonna order, order from ubereats or doordash where they can refuse to take orders, so if someone is working they must be really desperate and unable to go without the income. At least theyre making the choice for themselves. Dont order from a pizza place because although they might still have to work, they’ll at least be making a wage if theres no orders and just get to kick back. I personally barely order delivery anyway.
- Comment on Based Red Dead 4 weeks ago:
Not to say that youre wrong, or to imply that ‘woke’ is a real concept beyond whatever makes fascist chuds feel bad in their undeveloped brains, but being anti-racist is a lot different than being not racist, and takes a lot more courage.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 4 weeks ago:
Well they’d be in just as bad a situation if no one ordered at all for a week. Theyre without income either way. I honestly think its better for doordash and ubereats drivers if people still order in poor weather. Pizza places on the other hand where the driver may at least be making some sort of flat rate, they may just prefer to sit there all shift with no orders.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 4 weeks ago:
I mean theres nothing that unsafe about the roads in the picture. Thats like regular for a lot of places and people don’t just stop living. I worked as a delivery driver and had to drive in way worse conditions, whats shown wouldnt even have registered as a hazard at all.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).

I dont get the hate for the lcd at all. I never have my brightness maxed out. I guess if youre like obsessed with HDR or something, but otherwise im perfectly happy with the lower price of the lcs, especially since i got it on sale when the OLED first released.

In VLC theres also a setting to increase/decrease the subtitle delay. Theres a set of hotkeys to move it up/down by 50ms at a time, or you can go into the settings and enter a custom valur. Sometimes this doesnt work for a whole movie as the subtitles will just keep getting more and more out of sync, but if theyre just behind or ahead by a little bit consistently, then its a huge sanity saver.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
The conspiracist in me wonders if this is intentional as the result of a deal with other publishers. Maybe its just that ‘the devs didnt get around to it’ but honestly with how simple it should be to release things on GOG i more wonder if it isnt suppression.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
Yeah that’s fair, and im not defending the practice, it just made me think of some games that Ive seen that have multiple executables, usually with an inbuilt launcher that i have to bypass. Or when games used to come with a dx11 and dx12 executable. Personally i find that in itself super sloppy and annoying as well, but it makes a kind of lazy sense to just apply it to all the game files, in that its just one less thing to have to change if you make an alteration to the name of the executable file or add a new executable for whatever reason. Just one less possible failure point. But yeah I can see how its definitely not best practice.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
No im saying theres no such thing as a “GOG” version afaik. Its just the game files. What features differentiate a ‘GOG’ version from the same game acquired anywhere else? Their whole business model is offering games without any DRM or storefront added features, you dont even need to use their launcher, you can just download the game files directly. Whereas ‘Steam’ versions have all sorts of code added to be compatible with Steam.

What exactly is the distinction between acting tactically and strategically? This doesnt even make sense.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
I mean i assume thats just easier to deal with updates where a game has multiple exe files that may or may not change names. Assuming everything in the directory is assumed to be safe, is there any downside to applying it to everything, aside from opening up the possibility of a user accidentally trying to execute like a texture file or something which I assume just wouldnt work? I actually don’t know and im curious.

How would a game “not work” on GOG? isnt their whole thing that they give you just the game files with no DRM or whatever?
