Well that’s a great sign.
- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 3 days ago:
This is true of the Christian God – but also trivially true of any other conceptual deity which may exist. There have been thousands of God-figures discussed by mankind in its history, and if a god exists, none of those discussed may be the real God. (This strikes me as a kind of inverted version of the famous “Pascal’s Wager”)

GTA Online alone takes in billions of dollars for this company. Its employees should be reaping the rewards of that success.
Something tells me they aren’t.
A lot of companies (most?), especially in the US, need to return to the social contract.
- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 4 days ago:
This right here. So much space and energy being used to bitch about Steam that could be used for, oh, I dunno… Sony. Microsoft. Nintendo. Giant players that have held tacit monopolies for years and literally engage in anticompetitive behavior on a regular basis.
If I had room for one more conspiracy theory, I could point to a handful of companies that probably would not be above paying people to bitch about Steam…
(points up ^^^)

the full power of Windows PC gaming
It’s even better without the Windows.
Something tells me that part of Microsoft’s public focus here is distraction from the fact that they are losing grip on two separate markets.
- Comment on Bet you didn't know that before Excel, people used Lotus 1-2-3 2 weeks ago:
And before Lotus, there was sc (which you can still use today, if you prefer staying in the CLI as much as possible).

- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 2 months ago:
I don’t disagree about archiving. Though for a local collection, I think the space savings of AV1 are worth it.
Especially for grainy footage, which is extra costly in h265. The noise analysis and synthesis in AV1 is killer, IMHO. But of course… it’s not the same noise.
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 2 months ago:
Not only is everything smaller, but the codec looks better. Compression artifacts when AV1 is really pushing it at lower bitrates are more like… pointillism? They resemble grain instead of the fuzzy squares you can get with 264 or 265, and it is especially better in dark scenes.
