What’s weird is is that truck isn’t tall enough for how big it is if you want to do practical work and haul shit. It would bottom out if you put a real load in it. These things are so weird to me. This thing is a glorified grocery hauler.

I’m not sure what part of my comment this tangent is replying to. When I cited Pirates of Dark Water, I’m comparing how Tula was portrayed in the pilot compared the to main series. The writers themselves said that the executives forced them at add maternal aspects to the Tula character because to the executives, any female character should be promoting traditional female society roles. In the pilot, she essentially written as a male or genderless character who happen to be female. Similar to Ripley in Alien. This isn’t some analysts made in Death of the Author.

Those types have been attacking “woke” cartoons this whole time. There’s a lot of stories about writers getting push back from executives for having independent female protagonists and being forced to shoehorn romantic or maternal aspects in like with Pirates of Dark Water.
Sometimes though, a whole “woke” show gets made, but then it becomes the butt of jokes like Captain Planet.

Only if you don’t think China drove over their own citizens in 1989. Why do you think any of these countries are being honest about themselves? What’s in it for them to be honest about their past actions, current actions or plans for the future? They’re not your friends.
Ever notice how the “West’s” opinion on China softened with the rise of Tiktok or when Hollywood started chasing the Yuan?

No, it’s a summary. You can try to quantify individual acts and weight them against each other, but people aren’t going to agree about values and even if you could really figure out which one is worse, you wont achieve anything. It’s dark gray vs dark gray and your eyes aren’t good enough to differentiate between the two. I do know enough to not swear fealty to either country.

Isn’t what you’re bring “all or nothing” anyway. US is bad, so China is good is just another black and white world view. Both can be bad. Both can be engaged in propaganda.

If the deployment cycle started before Unity pulled their shit, I wont hold it against them for finishing with it.
People need to invest in Godot now. Either in just learning it or as a finical supporter.
Otherwise, I’m always interested if someone does something in GZ/LZ/UZDoom or cooks up their own engine. Hrot has no business being as good as it is being made in Pascal by one person.

I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn’t made for them and it’s dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that’s still a dishonest number.

Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.
Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.
Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.

Him and his fans deserve to be mocked. The next time you interact with a fan of his, ask them why he wont take an IQ test on stream if thinks Africans naturally have a lower IQ.

It’s because I never tried to represent an absolute, but you still decided to reduce my argument into one. Most people don’t mod a game before trying it vanilla. The few excepts are games with notorious bugs or legacy titles that only work on modern systems with modifications.
Modding a game is an artistic activity that’s a key part of remix culture and doesn’t interfere with the original artist intent of the game because it’s something that happens after release. DLSS5 is a layer on top of the release game that’s there from the start.
An equalizer is something the end user does themselves to customize their experience of the music, but it doesn’t override the original music or the “canon”. Any music maker will understand the need for equalizers because of unique room setups. They would not appreciate if their music was fed through a autotuner though, especially if it’s something the hardware manufacturer is forcing on the end user without their knowledge.

Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.
An equalizer is a preferred option because everyone doesn’t have the same audio setup. Different speakers and different room setups will effect the audio. An equalizer is equivalent to the calibration settings in your display setting.

Many of those devs got their starts in the modding scene and understand remix culture. What Nvidia is doing is not that. What Nvidia is doing is tantamount to including Autotune in every music player.
