If they can martyrdom, they will. Otherwise, expect that they’ll be selling merchandise and photo ops if they can.

Jk Rowling doesn’t have the benefit of the doubt for that to work. Her works are dripping with status quo reinforcing shit neither herself nor her character are capable of growing past what they were born as.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 days ago:
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.

All for the service of a Live Service Game seems like such a waste of effort.

So are we not counting the Bolsheviks as “communists” when they murdered their anarchist allies? Because they certainly said they were.

- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 2 weeks ago:
Your parents aren’t sensitive to dark humor. They’re superstitious.
Also, anything other than cleaning the port contacts in the charger is a waste of time.

It’s not that hard to make and use PPE for the miners. Whether or not it’s enforced is another question, but with how easy asbestos seem to be, they probably are.

You can tell from the background that the lighting isn’t as bright. It doesn’t mean it was photoshopped and doesn’t mean it was dishonest.

- Comment on Incel propaganda in my music app 3 weeks ago:
Some of us are bombarded by right wing propaganda off the internet. When I come home, I don’t want to be bombarded by it online. You want to know what radicalized me? Being “conservative presenting” and getting to hear what republicans really think when there’s not a minority or “liberal” in the room. None of them have a single idea of their own and just revel in cruelty. That’s what they think offline and when they think they’re in “good company.” Online, they just engage in bad faith arguments and it gets tiring counting them constantly.

- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 4 weeks ago:
I shifted to that view a long time ago. I have a selection of “classics” I play on rotation and I add a few indies or modern ports every now and then.
The multiplay scene went in a direction I don’t intend to follow. Some old friends are thinking about hosting a retro lan party, but I’m going to make it clear that I’m walking if they try sneaking in any modern shit.

If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.
-
Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that
-
If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.

- Comment on W for Uncle Ted 5 weeks ago:
I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.
I’ll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.
