Psythik, to games in PlayStation 5- how sre the visuals so good and games run so well on a machine with the equivalent of a GTX 2060?

Well as someone who has played the PC version, I can immediately tell that this game is probably running on Medium or possibly even Low. There’s fewer confetti particles, the explosion is less detailed, the fur doesn’t look as real and the lighting isn’t as good. Not to mention that it’s running non-native resolution/no DLSS cause you can clearly see the ailiasing. That said, it looks great for a $500 machine. My PC was over $4K cause I just had to have a 4090 (after I saw how disappointing the rest of the RTX 4000 lineup was. I usually only buy midrange GPUs).

In other words: Optimization.

Tbf, the PS5 version of the game has two modes; performance and graphics. You can have it look really good and get raytracing features but play at 30fps or reduce some of those settings and play at 60+ (I think this one goes to 120 if you have a capable display).

But even on Performance, it has been the best looking game I have ever played, and I tend to keep up with the latest and greatest.

Psythik,

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Furthermore, if you want a high framerate (120+ FPS) and no-compromise ray tracing, you’re going to have to spend way more than $500. The PS5 is an extremely good value for what you get.

I noticed something odd about Craigslist, some years ago, no advertising. I looked into it and saw the website is run by the non-profit Craigslist foundation. Natch.

toy_boat_toy_boat,

just started looking for a new job for the first time since around 2008… am i correct to assume that absolutely NOTHING is real any more? not just craigslist (which is funny to think i’m looking for a job there to begin with, but fuck i’ve checked everything). i’ve sent out so many resumes, and i think it’s all just fake posts collecting data. how does anyone apply for a fucking job these days? i can’t even find reputable postings for call centers any more.

IVE ACTUALLY MET THIS GUY!!

He lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (or at least works in the area)

Super nice dude… just kinda has an obsession. This is his newer truck (his old one was just as good/ugly). He’s also fully tatted in Avatar stuff lmao https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/be1ebb55-bc7f-4781-97cd-ae40c0f4fe43.webp

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

It is kinda weird if the backpack is a large camping bag and you’re both on an elevator going to the top floor of a highrise in NYC, and the conversation isn’t about why they have a hiking backpack on in the middle of the city.

Outside of that very specific situation, what else could be weird about it?

sorebuttfromsitting,

nah, people wear big backpacks in the city

deetz,

You skipped over some things that guy mentioned there I reckon.

HikingVet,

Not really, people talk in elevators, even in new york.

GBU_28,

Why would I need to take the pack off before my destination? Carrying a backpack is easy, unless you are disabled (not disparaging the disabled)

lily33, to programmerhumor in I'm going to sit down and actually learn git this week

Learning git is very easy. For example, to do it on Debain, one simply needs to run, sudo apt install lazygit

LazyGit may actually be black magic from Satan to tempt programmers into sin. And to that I say: 'where is a goat I can sacrifice to my dark lord?'

Bipta,

Wow this looks great. Amend an old commit dealing with a rebase? Sign me up!

zalgotext,

git rebase -i origin/main (or whatever branch you’re rebasing on), then read the instructions that come up in the editor window

corytheboyd,
@corytheboyd@kbin.social avatar

Read… instructions? I love teaching people that git very often prints out what you should do next.

git: “to continue, resolve conflicts, add files, and run rebase —continue”
dev: …time to search stack overflow

All that said… just use lazygit. It does help to know CLI git first to put things in context, but if you do, no need to punish yourself every day by not using a UI.

Usually a company needs a ransomware attack or some other digital tragedy before they learn the importance of security.

Sometimes they need a few incidents, and need to be reminded when upper management deprioritizes IT security.

zifnab25, to 196 in I love Twitter rule

Natalie should know better. But also… the really nasty shit under Obama was heavily under-reported and only ever seemed to penetrate media in a select few circuits. Casually tossing off a “What even did Obama do that was so bad?” is almost forgivable if you’re not a terminally online 30-year-old who makes hour long YouTube videos about politics, history, and culture.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

For me, it’s someone that savvy casually dropping a “both sides” comment. If I didn’t know better I’d assume it was bait. Its hard to imagine that level of cluelessness.

Aabbcc,

Am I reading this wrong? I assume Natalie is making a joke about how people under report Obama’s nasty shits

zifnab25,

I think she’s joking about how people over-report his trivial shit. But it can be read as blithely ignoring the monstrous crimes Obama did commit while in office, because it echoes a lot of the liberal apologia of the administration that amounted to “The worst thing Obama ever did was wear a tan suit”.

OrnateLuna,

While I don’t think she has talked about Obama’s war crimes or things adjacent to it, I find it hard to believe that she would be saying that seriously especially the both sides part. Tho her response to the criticism doesn’t make it better.

tuga,

You’re reading it wrong, she’s stating you can’t make a moral equivalence between Obama and, say, Trump or something because supposedly the worst things obama did were silly.
