Damn, I’ve been trying but I keep relapsing

Don’t know, but I heard the other day that some economists are speculating that furry commissions have become a surprisingly large contributor to inflation. Maybe Google furry inflation and see if that has any relevance.

I literally never hear anything about hogwarts legacy except for how well it’s sold. None of my friends who are into the series ever even mention it. I realize all I really have to go off of is a personal anecdote, but I would not be surprised in the slightest if those numbers ended up being heavily inflated.

As for modern warfare, I’ve never played it and I’ve never been a fan of cod. I’m just surprised the series is still going, I thought people would be burnt out on it by now.

Soda: the correct way to say it
Coke: a specific brand, but I’m all for genericization
Pop: why are you calling a soft drink daddy?

I’m absolutely obsessed with dragons and dinosaurs. I just think big lizards go hard.

I think I get what you’re saying, and I agree. It isn’t really as simple as “just remove/replace the meat”, because plant proteins simply just cook and handle differently than meat, and often time the meat is the core focus of a dish. Instead, the focus should be on recipes that are built around their ingredients. They can have a similar purpose to a traditional meat dish (I will take a black bean burger over a regular hamburger any day), but ultimately should be prepared different.

Also, in my opinion, tofu is amazing when it isn’t just used as a drop-in meat replacement. It goes really great with sauces and also fries pretty well.

Counterpoint: I like pretty lights and don’t mind having to play at a suboptimal framerate if it means more detail that I’m going to notice and enjoy.

Also, I keep seeing people confusing photorealism with a lack of style, when that’s just not true. Pixar movies for example are photorealistic but stylized. You can have fancy lights and cool styles.

I would consider photorealism to mainly be light-based (prefix photo meaning light), but I get what you mean. I’d consider photorealism and realism to be separate. “I can see that existing” vs “I can see myself being there”

A better example probably would’ve been claymation, or pokemon concierge.

Edit: my definition of photorealism might be off.

Really speaks to how fast culture is moving that people in their thirties have developed “kids these days” type attitudes.

remember when they managed to squeeze a game with 3d+music into a CD? (Lego island)

Back then a CD had about as much storage as your entire hard drive. Also, lego island isn’t really a AAA game. A AAA game from 1997 would be something like final fantasy 7, which came on two whole CDs. Drive capacity hit a boom around the 2000s and 2010s, and only recently have AAA games been catching up.

People always want to blame this shit on game developers being lazy, and they’re not wrong that a lot of AAA games are bug ridden messes designed to please shareholders. But games are getting more and more complex, and these developers are being forced to work under strict time constraints.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t room to improve. Maybe offering different download options depending on your storage needs should become a common practice (iirc some games used to do that back when internet bandwidth was limited).

Voice Ruler (pawb.social)

A screenshot of a tweet from @zumo_zd, which reads “I like it when this happens”. The attached image is a drawn mock-up of an IMDb-style page of “Popular Voice Actor Man, known for Lord Darkness Edgeman from Blood Dying and Screaming”. On his list of roles, this casting is listed, but he is also listed as voicing...

It’s like Twitter rebranding to X. It’s extremely detrimental to the brand, but it makes some executive feel really good about themselves and that’s all that really matters apparently.

Dynamic languages were invented by runtime error companies to sell more runtime errors.

This is different from the other two echos here, this is Nim not Bash.

Not shape keys, but something more akin to Unity’s animation layers. This kinda stuff has been in games for a decade or so.

Can someone explain? I don’t get it.

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ (www.theverge.com)

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”...

Cool story Elon. Hey, where’s that full self driving you promised would be ready next year 5 years ago?

Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia?

Hello! I’ve tried a bunch of games but they’re just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they’re working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don’t require GPU work fine too with version 8.

DumbAceDragon,
@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Same. Only reason I’m still on nvidia is because I need hardware raytracing support for blender, and they haven’t ported that to Linux for AMD yet.

DumbAceDragon,
@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Monkey wrench. It doesn’t get talked about nearly enough imo.

We don’t know for sure if that’s what they sounded like because there’s very little evidence to suggest that Boston was even real.

Try 5 minutes apart. You can’t lose if you can’t snooze.

@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Already sold out? Have they learned nothing? At this point they have to be doing it intentionally.

Either engineer or bit hacker, depending on whether or not I’m trying to avoid branching.

@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah I was gonna say, this would be as simple as a Godot viewport texture or a Unity render texture.

Still, it’s stylistically really impressive. Looks really good.

DumbAceDragon,
@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah so that’s why it runs like shit.

@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don’t completely trust any “privacy-focused” company, but I trust proton a lot more than most others.

DumbAceDragon,
@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Even then I wouldn’t trust it. Getting hacked or getting a virus could become a life or death scenario.
