Which is amusingly also what Xbox and PlayStation had before everything started coming to PC.

Apparently they do! Look at that market surge! (Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem later)

Wiimmfi distributes those events periodically. You just need to get them in HG/SS and then you can select them.

It didn’t even look like Simon’s work to me. The Electric State as painted is very banal. “Sure robots and megastructures exist alongside us but I still have to go to work, or farm, or play in the fields as a kid, and so do some robots.”

Would love to see more of the developer providing good information for those laid off so other companies can more easily ingest possible hires.

Ah yes, eliminating wrongthink.

I mean, if you look back to the framing of the constitution, the idea was that a bunch of citizen militias would be kept such that if the country needed defense, they would be able to respond. This was because the new United States lacked (and politically opposed) standing armies like the one which they just fought off the continent.

Since then, the United States acquired an Army, Navy, and Air Force alongside numerous National Guard units. The theoretical need for citizen militias vanished.

The real answer to your question is that we really don’t have citizens participating in “well-regulated militias.” Not from the constitutional context, anyway.

Looking alright. It’s a Pokémon game so I know what I’m getting into but it looks fun.

Was about to move to 4.4.1rc2. Awesome!

Same, I’m a realist at heart.

Sanity check: The constitution explicitly and unambiguously states that federal elections are left up to the state. This is yet another unconstitutional executive order.

Yeah, buying them now in advance of their price going up or being unavailable is totally fine. I’ve front loaded some costs that I expect to go up in the coming months.

I’m a game developer and I will 100% confirm that studios have already started and will continue assuming the user has DLSS/FSR/XeSS enabled because it turns out rendering half as many pixels can get you across the finish line.

It was already fairly standard practice to try as hard as you can for performance, and when that fails to bring you good performance at native resolution, just cut some resolution (for example, to 900p from 1080p).

However, I do want to add that DLSS/FSR/XeSS is great technology for the low end of the market who can’t afford insane rigs but do get to have a slightly sharper image than previous upscalers could accomplish.

Money will have to go further, so stop buying as many luxuries, save what you can, and for me, expecting the price of food to go up, expand the deep pantry.

Just wanna post my appreciation to the dev team. This app rocks and it keeps getting better! I use it daily. Keep it up.

Yeah, I feel the same. Revolt Chat is just an eventual Discord 2 if it gains traction. It doesn’t really matter how open-source it is. It is centralized, and so will eventually need funding for hosting. Without the ability to run my own server and everyone be able to connect to it in their clients, it’s not a valid alternative.

Any other alternatives I’m unaware of to look into? Or are we just SOL?

I think Discord bridging requires encryption to be off, unfortunately, and I personally see bridging as the only way for Matrix to overcome the network effects of Discord.

Oh wow, that’s before my time. Thanks for sharing its existence with me.

Alternatives that move us backwards towards the old days are things like TeamSpeak/Mumble/Ventrilo.

Alternatives that are similar to Discord and not owned by a for-profit company are:

• Matrix

A huge missing piece of almost all not-for-profit alternatives is a lack of low-latency game streaming / screen streaming. The best Matrix gets is running a jitsi meet. I think Matrix is the only one that theoretically could work for some users because Discord bridges allow people who are finally fed up to move to Matrix for text chat.

It’s difficult, though.
