I still don’t know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle

Okay no exclusivity

This bodes well for ff7r2

I’m not sure I agree with you on the former, DLSS is pretty remarkable in its current iteration

We’re trapped in here with us

^(as long as you don’t defederate)

Honestly if the gameplay and/or story are good enough, I don’t care one bit about hyper-realistic graphics

Hell, the more stylised the graphics of a game, generally the more interested I am.

Games like Obra Dinn, Lisa or Undertale that lean into the graphical limitations of the past are some of my all time favourites

I’m all about this being a new meme template for dad jokes

We’re pretty good at committing acts of economic self harm

Traitors is pretty good TV, I guess

Forgive the basic response, but they’ve yet to earn a better name:

Poobisoft

He’s apparently always been an asshole from the many accounts that have come out over the years

IMO the more recent public switch of tone is either too many drugs have scrambled his brain or much more likely someone very powerful has something very bad on him and is using it as a marionette cross-brace to further extremism.

Lagunitas is pretty banging tho

I guess if everyone on your street is doing the same then it’s not a problem, but it’s worth noting over half the general population will have a chronotype where noise that early will be a negative for their health.

Making noise between 10am-10pm is apparently the best for everyone

Depends on what time, for me

After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too

Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

I’m fine with a brioche bun, they’re upper tier buns

But don’t stack a load of stuff in there to the point the brioche disintegrates under the heft of it

That’s why we have the pretzel bun

(Likewise, don’t use a pretzel bun if you’re not gonna load it up, that bun needs grease for balance)

Every company I’ve worked at for at least the last decade or so has an internal social media thing of varying quality.

Facebook even wraps up its own product for internal use.

Admittedly engineering always generally ignores it and we just use slack

I specifically don’t comment on people that give off the vibe they might be one of those kind of nutjobs, precisely because it gives them a notification with my username attached if I do. I’m on this site to kill some time with low effort, I want to minimise the risk of attracting the attention of some weirdo.

I downvote in those scenarios and then report if appropriate. If enough other users feel the same way the comment goes down to the bottom of the thread and fewer users see it. Especially if it’s something that a mod eventually removes, as it reduces the reach until a mod can get to it.

If I risk retaliation for doing that, I (and others) will just stop, meaning those comments stay up front & centre and we lose that soft moderation plus that engagement in general. Going into the comments will just end up being a worse experience

Yeah, you’re right to highlight warcraft although I don’t think it’s a clean line with Warcraft between dune 2 and c&c. C&C was probably around 2 years into development by the time Warcraft came out, and my assumption is most of the actual game design was pretty finalised by that point. Though I’m sure some minor influences made their way in, I don’t think Warcraft massively affected the kind of game we got in the end.

But yeah that’s not to diminish the contribution of warcraft to the genre, there’s loads of games that followed copying the Warcraft style of RTS, even as part of the c&c series in the end with Generals.

The first RTS is an obscure Japanese game called Herzog Zwei,

Westwood studios then made Dune 2 and Command & Conquer which basically polished and popularised the genre for the rest of the world.

Pretty much every RTS that followed took at least some inspiration from how those games worked

Hard no from me

I don’t want some nutjob with too much time stalking me because I upvoted something about climate change or downvoted some bigoted shit. We all know those fuckos are out there

Voting on Reddit-like platforms is soft moderation by a community, and if you disincentive that, the whole model kinda falls apart IMO

C’mon mate

Imagine something kinda like crocs without the toe, I guess

If you Google “slides” you’ll see loads of examples
