What do you fire out of this head cannon? Or is it a normal cannon exclusively for firing heads?

Guntrigger,

It’s funny because I read through that other thread about creators going downhill and (while I don’t know most in either thread) you mention a couple of them here.

Guntrigger,
Guntrigger,

Yes. I questioned the usefulness of such a device on it’s announcement (on Reddit) and was swarmed by fanboys. I’ve not seen that on Lemmy, so we might be safe.

Guntrigger,

Ever since the PS3 they have been a generation behind Xbox for online services and connectivity in their consoles.

Guntrigger,

I read it again and I will suggest tablets and iPhones with a controller connected.

Guntrigger,

The PlayStation Portable was the best controller ever? I hope that is a typo because that horrible nubbin position gave me wrist problems for life.

Guntrigger,

I would debate it. The xbox controller puts the sticks in the thumbs natural resting position, whereas the PS requires some thumb or grip repositioning.

Granted the latest dualsense are the most comfortable, but I always had issues with dualshocks.

Guntrigger,

You’re right, they aren’t comparable. If you get a tablet you can basically use it as a computer as well as for streaming games within your own house.

Guntrigger,

What function does it have that can’t be compared?

Guntrigger,

I remember the gyro on PS3 not really being that much of a plus. Do any games make good use of it?

Xbox has had haptic feedback in the triggers for a long time, though adptive triggers do look like they are a step up.

Guntrigger,

If you’re going to ignore the entirety of British-indian cuisine, then Americans really shouldn’t be calling Mexican food their tastiest creation.

American: Beans with your eggs and bacon? Disgusting.

Guntrigger,

Hominy hominy 😉

Guntrigger,

This comic and all of these comments are mega wholesome.

Guntrigger,

Have you been eating them like apples?

Guntrigger,

Cookies aren’t good? I feel like that’s a spicier take than Marvel movies.

Guntrigger,

I tend to put bread or crepes under mine.

How can you even pick up butter with Nutella on?

Guntrigger,

Get yourself one of them Elon chips.

Guntrigger,

I’m so kooky, just putting this shoe polish all over my face.

So quirky, heading out to be a Christmas minstrel.

Too zany, punching some protesters that want me to stop.

Guntrigger,

The thing I find hilarious is that a few weeks ago, when there was talk of the UK doing the same sort of thing, everyone was pointing to this legislation as an example of how it has worked elsewhere.

It didn’t even last a year! All it’s done is slightly annoyed a handful of teenagers for a few months.

Guntrigger,

“What am I, a chemist?”

Guntrigger,

I see a lot of covid misinformation going on around this story which is extremely worrying. Just because the human race not currently at risk of imminent extinction from it doesn’t mean it’s not still a serious illness. Some people get long term complications from it. Some people are extra vulnerable to it. Some people are still dying from it.

“Just get the vaccine” is the worst kind of uninformed handwaving response to the concerns and worries of other humans, it’s upsetting it is becoming the norm.

Guntrigger,

This feels like one of those “VR in the 90s was shit so we should never develop VR” kind of things.

Guntrigger,

That’s exactly my point. Raytracing is being shoehorned into things without them being optimised specifically for it at the moment. That doesn’t mean we should stop developing the tech entirely because people are implementing it poorly most of the time.

Guntrigger,

3D cinema is more like light gun games. Kinda cool but it doesn’t really advance anything.

Man, now I’ve said that I miss the old Namco arcades.

Guntrigger,

Optimization is not an on/off switch. All companies are optimising their implementation to the best of their ability/budget. As coders get more familiar with the tech and it becomes more commonplace, as well as work being done by graphics card companies on their drivers, it will reduce the computational requirements over time. There’s a hell of a lot of work that goes into graphical processing on hardware, software, engine and game levels to make things look better for less computations, it’s not just “tell GPU to do simulate every particle from the sun”.

Guntrigger,

It’s expensive, but a high end rig with a good headset (index or vive), it’s pretty great.

Guntrigger,

And if you do either of those, most games companies would love to snap you up right out of graduation.

Guntrigger,

I’m not really sure how PhysX was a gimmick. It had a weird implementation due to hardware restrictions initially, but is still used today on your bog standard GPS.

It’s actually a great example of a tech that had this weird transition period at first, when the hardware wasn’t advanced enough to support it by default, and is now just a standard tool to make games look great on average hardware.

Guntrigger,

So what you’re saying is, it’s double hipster

Guntrigger,

I’m assuming the C in CRPGs is Character? I thought I’d open the article and learn the acronym, but it never states it!

Pretty bad writing ettiquette to just drop an acronym without first laying out the component parts. Especially so when the article is literally about the acronym and uses it pretty much every sentence.

Guntrigger,

Now that’s a breakdown that should be in the article!

Guntrigger,

That wasn’t the last time. There was an eruption in 2021 that continued to 2022 in this same peninsula where they’re expecting a new eruption, which was much tamer. Open lava flow but no billowing clouds across the continent.

It appears that there is still underground lava flow across the peninsula from that eruption, so it is likely a further eruption in the same system.

Guntrigger, (edited )

It all depends on the size and strength of the eruption. The Reykjarnes peninsula is relatively important, as it is home to Keflavik Airport on the north west tip, which is the main one serving the island and nearby capital Reykjavik. There is a cluster of towns around there and then Grindavik on the south side. However, the rest of the peninsula is mostly barren with volcanic rock fields (apart from the famous geothermal spa the Blue Lagoon somewhere in the middle and the power plant that provides its famous blue hot springs).

It so happens that this same area has seen eruptions in each of the last 2 years and apparently has a 10km stretch of underground lava flow still from that. I’m unsure if this implies it will be more or less impact full this time.

It appears that readings are centred on Grindavik. There’s already been some road damage and land slippages there.

Gaza: Patients and medical staff trapped in hospitals under fire (www.doctorswithoutborders.ca)

Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in Gaza have been under relentless bombardment. Al-Shifa hospital complex, the biggest health facility where MSF staff are still working, has been hit several times, including the maternity and outpatient departments, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.

Guntrigger,

Israel trying it’s hardest to look like a comic book evil villain at this point.

Guntrigger,

You don’t think game development catered specifically for whales is a problem?

Guntrigger,

I do agree, but its also kind of an amazing thing. I know this meal was made by a corporation for profit, but there was still a farmer that made the contents and a chef somewhere along the line cooked it before it was packaged. You might be missing the personal interaction with them, but there were still a lot of humans involved in bringing that meal to your table.

Guntrigger,

We truly would be in a Star Trek style utopia if the ruling class weren’t stacked with insatiable greed.

Guntrigger,

If you call the Daily Mirror they probably will.

Guntrigger,

They don’t live off grass but long grass is great cover for them to move freely. My lawn is pretty wild, but I have to mow directly around the house otherwise mice and all sort of insects start taking up reaidence in the house.

Guntrigger,

Please, not the ass rays!

Guntrigger,

I don’t know the name of it but I believe that pattern is the standard camp for Swedish military. This looks like an urban colour tone but there are Woodland and Arctic colour schemes too.

Guntrigger,

Like 85% of people in the UK are non-smokers, so I’m presuming it’s some NIMBY-lite thinking: “I don’t like smoking so I need you to make everyone stop”.

Guntrigger,

I didn’t know gung ho was a racist term and now I look it up I see that it is clearly not.

Guntrigger,

It’s interesting that you are digging in on this nonsensical comparison. Comparing a personal use narcotic (which is combusted and spent in seconds causing harm to the user only - for the most part) with a hazardous material (which basically doesn’t degrade, huffs out cancer causing dust if you, or anyone else in the next century, work on it in any way and persists as hazardous waste if you want to dispose of it).

Lead pipes and lead paint also bleed into the environment pretty much for eternity. Why not go all the way and compare being able to buy cigarettes with being able to buy some plutonium for around the house?

Guntrigger,

All you’ve done here is prove that you’re ignorant. I suggest you look back and see that you’re arguing two different points with two different people as well as attributing words to me that I didn’t write.

If you actually read my post, l already answered the difference. Everything you mentioned has widespread environmental impact, particularly if people/corporations use those materials in bad faith. Personal choice to smoke a cigarette is not equivalent to implanting a hazardous object into the environment. And I think you know that. If you honestly can’t see the difference, it’s willful ignorance.
