Perfide,

I’m confused why this surprises anyone. The Insomniac Spider-Man games haven’t made their way to Xbox, why would you expect this to?

Perfide, (edited )

Your order being fucked up or undercooked, or having an allergic reaction is a valid reason to have your meal comped, merely not liking the food is not a valid reason. It sucks you didn’t like it, but it’s no fault of the restaurant. That’s what you ordered. It doesn’t matter you only took two bites of it, all the restaurant can legally do with it is throw it in the trash, so it’s still a loss for them.

Perfide,

This. They really need to start including both low dynamic range AND high dynamic range audio options in home/streaming releases of movies, and TV should exclusively be LDR if they can’t simulcast the the different audio signals.

HDR audio sounds amazing and is totally worth it when you have the right audio equipment, so it shouldn’t stop existing entirely, but it’s bullshit that people that don’t have that equipment get an even worse experience than LDR as a result.

Perfide,

Who made you the authority on memes? Oh right, nobody.

So with the exact same amount of authority on the subject as you: Yes that is how internet memes work.

Perfide,

How you like it? If this were a human being, I’d shoot it in the face.

Perfide,

Exactly. I would’ve left this country years ago if it was that simple. I can’t afford to vacation in Canada, let alone move there, and I live in a northern state.

Quick question, WHY do these funnyish tumblr crops always have one of those annoying “tumblrism”(for lack of a better term) comments on the bottom? Just crop a little higher…

Perfide,

You lost me on the section when you started going into different calculators, but I read the rest of the post. Well written even if I ultimately disagree!

The reason imo there is ambiguity with these math problems is bad/outdated teaching. The way I was taught pemdas, you always do the left-most operations first, while otherwise still following the ordering.

Doing this for 6÷2(1+2), there is no ambiguity that the answer is 9. You do your parentheses first as always, 6÷2(3), and then since division and multiplication are equal in ordering weight, you do the division first because it’s the left most operation, leaving us 3(3), which is of course 9.

If someone wrote this equation with the intention that the answer is 1, they wrote the equation wrong, simple as that.

Perfide,

No, those companies aren’t wrong, but they’re not entirely right either. The answer to “6 ÷ 2(1+2)” is 1 on those calculators because that is a badly written equation and you(not literally you, to be clear) should feel bad for writing it, and the calculators can’t handle it with their rigid hardcoded logic. The ones that do give the correct answer of 9 on that equation will get other equations wrong that it shouldn’t be, again because the logic is hardcoded.

That doesn’t change the fact that that equation worked out on paper is absolutely 9 based on modern rules of math. Calculate the parentheses first, you then have 6 ÷ 2(3). We could solve from here, but to make the point extra clear I’m going to actually expand this out to explicit multiplication. “2(3)” is the same as “2 x 3”, so we can rewrite the equation as “6 ÷ 2 x 3”. All operators now inarguably have equal precedence, which means the only factor left in which order to do the operations is left to right, and thus division first. The answer can only be 9.

Perfide,

This is blatantly not true. It’s what won him the election.

Perfide,

but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence?

Yes, strongly. Lead exposure, especially in childhood, is known to lower IQ and also decrease empathy.

The other things you mentioned are definitely major factors as well, but yeah all that lead fucked the older generations brains.

What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...

Apple shill detected.

Moving to said country, however, is not free.

Just have the ice cream in the mug and let the coffee melt it. Gives it a nice froth.

The only thing canon about any of the other 4 sequels is that Buzz grows up to become a cop. He would.

Days N Daze

Perfide,

You’re completely missing the point. Yeah, this stuff takes time, and it will continue to take time. The point is, this article saying we’re “closing in on it” is clickbait garbage that’s just as useful as the one a decade ago saying we are “closing in on it”, and a decade before that.

Pawn C7, now a white pawn, advances to Blacks back row. It tries to turn into a Queen, but due to corruption of it’s metadata from the previous move, turns into a MissingNo.

Well fuck you, NOW it will be. You overrid their spell on Trump and redirected it to Jimmy by mentioning him.

Pure carbs.

Uh, no, you definitely can’t. Even the biggest mice aren’t big enough for some people.

Perfide,

Think they’re talking about the Patch 2 ending. You still can’t properly save her.

Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....

Perfide,

The default control scheme for the game Sessions is using a controller with 1 foot per analog stick, so that’s covered. I think Skate XL has a control scheme like this too.

Perfide,

the movements required for your fingers are moreorless that of your feet in real life skating.

Have you played Sessions? This is how it works in that game too, literally the only difference is your fingers are on analog sticks rather than on the sheet of glass that is your phone screen. The developers ended up including an alternative control scheme more similar to EA’s Skate series because of how intense the learning curve on their control scheme is.

but taking away the actual placement of fingers on the board onscreen would take away an awful lot of the reason people enjoy it

I guess this is where we just have to agree to disagree. I can’t think of any reason I’d find blocking part of my field of view as an enhancement to the experience.

Perfide,

Which was only made because people got incest vibes from the original…

Perfide,

Creation is built on code over 20 years old at this point, and it shows

You can just as easily say the same thing about Unreal Engine, Frostbite, CryEngine, etc… all of these engines are built on decade(s) old code to some degree. The problem isn’t Creation Engine, it’s Bethesda. Unreal isn’t a magic bullet. The results if they used Unreal at this point would likely be worse, not better.

Perfide,

Poseidon is the God of water, I think he understands how dilution works. Peeing in the ocean? Basically didn’t do anything, essentially untraceable. Peeing in the pool? Nasty af, and easily(ish) detectable.

Perfide,

Do hot tubs count as pools?

Peeing in the hot tub is equal to peeing in 5 pools. Gonna make piss steam and get it everywhere.

Perfide,

Probably little to none for most pizzas since they’re so thin, but with something like a deep dish you might end up with cooked cheese/toppings and doughy crust, or cooked crust and burnt cheese/toppings, or vice versa if the heating element is on the bottom.

Perfide,

I don’t. Fuck intubating them, fuck admitting them to the hospital at all, that’s room that could go to treating someone not dying from the consequences of their own actions.

Perfide,

Not sure how that’s relevant to my comment, but yeah.

It’s so blind people who use screen readers can still enjoy the meme.

Perfide,

Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it’s frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how “it’s gonna be a really cold winter this year” everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was “soooo bad” despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

Perfide,

Which is what we have, so we’ve gotta work with what we got. You’ll never get ranked choice approved with Republicans in office.

…bootleg iPods? Wouldn’t that just be an mp3 player?

Perfide,

An episode of the IT Crowd had a B story that was kinda transphobic. It was minor enough and the show was popular enough he probably could’ve easily just apologized and that would’ve been that. But instead, in 2013 after said episode was brought up and criticized for being transphobic to the creator, said creator tripled down and became a full on anti-trans “activist” who makes even JK Rowling seem benign by comparison.

Perfide,

How dare you! I AM the nephew that sets up their computers for them, and I install Firefox.

Perfide,

Edge isn’t IE, it’s reskinned Chromium.

Perfide,

The last straw for me was about a decade ago when an update completely broke Chrome on my machine. It would open and immediately crash, even after reinstalling. Everything else worked fine, virus scans came back clean and everything, it was only Chrome. I spent the next 2 months playing browser roulette before settling on ol’ reliable Firefox once again.

Perfide,

Please no

Perfide,

Google as whole no, maybe, but that slogan was absolutely mocked from the start. Remember that this was right around when shit like The Matrix, Hackers, etc… were big pillars of the internet. “Don’t be evil” inherently sets off alarm bells regardless of anything else.

Perfide,

I mean… the sink in the pic is visibly dirty.

Perfide,

wants watch hours for ad money

Ads which can still be blocked fairly easily on Firefox, unlike in Chrome, which is banning ublock(& likely all other blockers) browser-wide next year. They want to make the firefox experience worse so people have a reason to go back to their ad infested browser.
