Of course… even an Arabic programming language has a recursive acronym name

Scale. That’s the one thing I can’t get my head around

AI can get married for you. It can even raise your (its) kids for you! *nvidia stock goes up*

It’s an interesting concept and seems plausible enough (same as with Planet X, Nemesis… ok some of that Nibiru stuff is ridiculous) but like, the evidence just isn’t there to support it. Feels like we should have found SOME evidence for this kind of interstellar disaster by now. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.

Me too

Woah. That totally makes sense actually. Thanks!

Wait, snowflakes are that big? Or is this just a silly meme?

I have very limited experience with snow being in Australia and all

The money will disappear into a hole, just like it does every time the US government invests into tech

As much as I find distasteful the idea of shipping “mandatory” patches for single player games years down the line to fix issues that should’ve been caught during QA… this might be a decent use case for them

900MHz WiFi, 20-40Mbps at “10 miles” (what’s that, 16km?). I mean I love the vastly simpler authentication part of the protocol but isn’t it just a mobile cell band at that point?

I would super appreciate “Jump Back In” mode…

Oh damn, thats a name I admittedly haven’t heard in a while. This guy had a huge impact on the games I played growing up. Still play the Master of Orion games every now and then. RIP

I agree with you. TOTK (and other open world games) on the Switch is an unpleasant experience. The hardware just isn’t capable of it

I do however think the developers did put some effort into attempting to mitigate the underperforming hardware - hence the seeming emptiness of the world. It just wasn’t enough. There are games that run well on the Switch - Metroid Prime Remastered is incredible, for example, but we must ask why: the answer is that that game’s world consists of a large number of small rooms, basically the polar opposite of an open world design.

Art style trumps graphical fidelity, but you do need a decent baseline capability to be able to pull it off.

Also, if you enjoyed TOTK don’t let me ruin your fun - it’s a subjective thing. Just don’t tell me there’s objectively no problems with it, because there clearly are

This is legitimately the best usage of this meme I’ve seen in years. Termination signals hnnngg

I can’t believe it’s already been five seasons… that was a great show.

Unexpectedly really relatable too, as a young working professional (well, less young than when it started…)

Lmao

Ah, I didn’t see the “c” in my sleep deprived state, whoops

I despised it in World of Warcraft, but I actually loved it in The Witcher 3. How I feel about it seems to be at least somewhat related to whether it’s a singleplayer game or multiplayer. But it’s more complicated than that - in TW3 without scaling enabled the whole game becomes piss easy even on Death March so it’s kinda required for me to even enjoy the gameplay at all. There are still many ways to gain relative character power that exceeds the level scaling that eventually you just WILL overpower everything regardless.

Unless it’s basically broken I will play games on the highest difficulty possible, because that’s just more fun to me. It makes each game an epic saga and something that can grip my (limited) free time for many many months. Which is good, because I have issues picking up and putting down fictional universes, I get a bit too attached. I don’t get super emotional about it, I just really don’t have the mental energy to deeply engage with something new unless I’m truly done with the last big thing. (I am also neuro-non-standard, I have heard of a term for this, “inertia”)

If only my happiness supported non-blocking I/O
