- Comment on Reason for high refresh rates? 9 months ago:
This is really interesting. I work in a casino and I’d say 90% of slot machines are now just video based.
I’ve noticed when looking a far distance across the gaming floor, slot machines that are physically far away from me appear to have “choppy” reel movement when they spin. As I get closer, they smooth out. It’s really jarring at first and it made me think of video games where things in the far distance are rendered with low resolution models that are replaced with higher resolution models as you get closer.
Maybe there is something to how we view refresh rates from distance that our eyes just lose frames or something.

- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 11 months ago:
There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.
The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.
You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.
Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.
TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland

What’s even worse is typically in the terms of those 3rd party sites, they say they can monitor your balances and transactions until you tell them to stop.

- Comment on Using radiotherapy to cure cancer which was caused by exposure to radioactive materials sounds a lot like homeopathy (except in this case it actually works) 1 year ago:
Yep, it just sucks that the hit or miss accuracy of many current treatments will be like that for many decades. It’s just part of the process towards eventually getting to extremely effective treatments with minimal side effects.
