Don’t forget to stand up and say MCDONALD’S.

Wow. I probably have played 4 or 5 on that entire list. And none of them in the past 5 or so years.

It’s still a shitty thing to do for sure. Maybe there will be a new “thing” that starts getting used instead? Ray tracing has gotten way more coverage than PhysX ever did, and imo is like 3% as good or interesting.

Physics actually have gameplay interactions that matter. Ray tracing looks nice, but is so absolutely expensive computationally that (imo) is not even CLOSE to being worth the effort if turning on, even with compatible hardware.

Give us better physics, games! My main time sink rn is Rocket League, and that game is literally nothing but physics. Mostly simple physics, but stuff behaving in a logical way makes my brain a lot happier than better lighting ever did.

I like when y’all grass became an actual object that could be moved around by players, or when tossing an item on the ground actually does it tossed down and colliding with other objects while texting to them appropriately (as in fire starting, or weight holding something down a certain amount). That stuff is potentially game creating, definitely feature drinking.

Has anything AT ALL been affected by “pretty lights” beyond making them pretty? If it has, I’ve never heard of it.

Keep games about a gameplay experience, not just a visual feast. Save that tech for movies or playable stories (ie Telltale type). Focus only on the gameplay experience otherwise. Toss in some ray tracing when you can, but NEVER at the expense of physics. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Kinda. But this “comment” system is more set up to encourage replying to others rather than the original subject.

That would be an easy fix though.

I feel like we can’t use services anymore at all. We need protocols and clients to connect to each other using those protocols and stop using centralized anything at all.

99% of what I’ve done in discord is a private server with like 5 or 6 regulars just to use voice coms in game.

But we already had that with TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, and Mumble. The UIs were fucking ugly as dog shit, but they worked.

Discord just came along and and combined a global (to a set of members) chat room and a voice service, where before those were separate.

Now if something is “just” a website then no one under like 25 will be able to hear of it, much less figure out how to use it. They need apps to be able to communicate.

The problem is that bigger services obviously have a problem of scale with that setup, so they start simple and get a bigger audience, then start the spying with some tiny change no one will check patch notes for.

These days we’re all guilty of that.

Capitalism is again the bad guy here. Monetizing everyone’s actions and identities is the particular issue. No one would feel a need to do this if it didn’t lead to more profits. I’ll bet there are a bunch of companies that started off good and fell to the dark side when they couldn’t control their monetary appetite. (Or when younger employees took on promoted positions and saw opportunity- all they had to do was (cough cough) stop not being evil (cough cough)).

I dunno, a magic genie. This is just wishes man.

Fuuuuuck catholicism. Fuck all religious leaders, really, but they have probably caused more damage than all the others combined, so fuck them in particular.

Step 1-Take him to the trash pile. Send all of the next candidates there as well. (Read-kill all the religious that are there)

Step 2- Raid the Vatican and take the proceeds where you wish.

Step 3- ???

Step 4- Enjoy a slightly better world.

Fuck you pope. I wish he’ll was real for you, I really do. Your existence is a cancer.

Bye bitch

Good first step, but I’m scared by the word “unbiased”.

For a conservative, there’s no way that means “unbiased”, it’s gonna man “un-leftist”, because clearly there are only “wokes” and “normals”, and he’ll expect you to see a “normal”.

Maybe he’s ahead of the curve, but that word strikes great in me.

At the very least he does seem to actually understand it without resorting to insulting terms or snide comments, so I have hope for him.

I really hope this works out for you, OP.

I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.

There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.

Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.

They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.

I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.

Needs more jpeg.

Quick, everybody start writing fiction of trump and musk being killed and stick it into every LLM.

It is objectively not as comfortable to hold your thumb out of position.

At least assuming your hands are symmetrical. Maybe for you it is more accurate to do that, but it is not more comfortable.

Somebody at openai better be requiring stuff so it literally never works to launch anything ever.

There is no context in which launching nukes is acceptable. The world should completely disarm and destroy all records of how the weapon tech even works.

Will never be acceptable. We shouldn’t have them, no one else should either.

If I was elected, my first EO would be to immediately destroy all of ours without making any demands regarding it. We’re all cooked if any of them is used, so I don’t see a downside here. And before any political goals I might have, that would be way higher a priority.

Maybe but a ceremonial briefcase to represent the occasion as a memorial to the sheer hubris of even thinking of this idea.

There is no way the PS layout is more comfortable. The left joystick is where it is on every other controller because that is where your thumb goes naturally.

Even on the other side, the face buttons are used much more commonly than the right stick in most cases. So they put the face buttons there because it’s where your thumb naturally goes.

Typically it’s not enough more uncomfortable to complain about it if I was like playing at a friend’s place (not that that happens anymore in these last generations, but it was huuuuuuuge in the early 90s), but still more than enough of a difference to never buy one.

What is the argument that the asymmetrical comfort zones you seem to have for each hand make any sense? The joystick placement may be cockeyed, but where your thumbs are comfortable should not be. I just can’t understand the argument by PS layout fanboys. Hence the question.

Not the regular people. I’ve got no problem with them. Known several, never had any issues.

This is more of on the scale of a “big pharma” kinda thing. I think the biggest benefit that idiotic system could ever have to have any hope of getting even half way back to breaking even on their good/bad balance is completely dissolving and actually donating their billions of dollars to something besides buying a new golden throne, and secondly, to execute every priest in their ranks who did the CSA.

Then there’s the whole spreading their beliefs by force thing.

I mean they probably all have secrets that are terrible, but that group in particular hasn’t been good, ever.

I mean I hate everything about catholicism too. I mean I hate all religions, but catholicism specifically. But I don’t burn their symbols. I just avoid any circumstance I would have to be exposed to of it.

But yeah, still doesn’t make sense to burn a symbol you share with the people you hate. This is just their silent screams of self hatred. Not loud enough to drown out the “everything besides white people” hatred, but still somehow present. I guess they can’t even like themselves. Too busy hating.

Gotta get that hate-love ratio under control.

No, it makes little literal sense. How much sense it makes contextually depends on the usage.

I always think of that one in the same sense of famous and infamous. My brain accepts that only as inflammable things are REALLY flammable.

And even then my brain needs a second to recover from the 180 I mentally have to do to make that make sense.

If “it” is actually the subject then it would not be a contradiction.

But when “it” is a pronoun for something else (which is definitely at least 99.9% of the time.

I do get irritated when they have 2 different pronunciations of a name that’s spelled the same. And they assume the less common one.

I definitely understand that. But none of this thread is trying to hold non native speakers’ feet to the fire.

I hope you know of that phrase. I just realized that’s a saying that might not translate.
