  Agreed, it really depends on the game. Battlefield with Art Stylized graphics would look terrible, just like how if Final Fantasy was done with Realistic graphics would be weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Year? In this economy?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There may be some rose tinted glasses there bud. 2009 was also the peak year for people losing their homes and unemployment from the 2008 financial crisis. The wars in the middle east were in full swing. Plus way more people who thought the world would end in 2012 than you would think which was so annoying.

  Aye but where be it the Captain’s are getting these Webrips be the question. Thar answer be the streaming services me mate’ee. It be their content pirates be plunderin’.

  I can get MDM-Amine, though I doubt anyone would want to get anywhere near that shit. It’s incredibly toxic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I hear ‘So This is Christmas’ by John Lennon one more time I’m going to lose it. It sounds so bad coming out of a PA speaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I never really knew that she could dance like this. She makes a man want to speak spanish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like hard drive prices. Looking at Newegg their hard drives are always “on sale” it just depends on whether the sale is $10.00 or $50.00.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the only reason French cars are still made is to make Italian cars look good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear neighbor...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The number of people on virtual meetings with smoke detectors crying out for a new battery drives me insane. 9v batteries are not expensive and smoke detectors save lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a really big brush you’ve got there, really painting everything in broad strokes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI behavioral analysis on factory workers, every step is monitored including attention detection from facial expressions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to tell you this but that’s not how it works. The people who used to paint cars as they come off the production line aren’t creating interesting patterns for automation to paint on a car. There are just no production car painters anymore. Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.

  Mine did… Although it’s completely unrelated to AWS.

  I’m just Waiting for Gadot to show up on this thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The capital comes from the profits from other markets. Which comes from exploiting workers. The original investment didn’t just spontaneously expose itself, people chose to flow money into it. They’ll pay for the next bubble with the profits C-suit executives stole from their workers and the little guy. They will take what should have been yours and bet it away on some fever dream that was doomed to fail from the beginning. All in the hopes that they might make their wealth get more outrageously excessive before this bubble bursts and they try again on the next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What was left after the cryptocurrency crash? A whole lot of GPUs that got repurposed for AI. They’ll just get repurposed for whatever extremely computationally intensive thing some computer engineer comes up with. Until that bubble bursts, rinse and repeat. What’s happening is project managers are selling the next big thing to make a lot of capital really quickly to a board of directors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To piggy back off of Arcayne’s comment

  I’d recommend setting your sights on the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies of your data, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site. Hetzner Storage Box is a good cheap offsite option.

  I don’t backup everything to a 3-2-1. I at least have everything on a 2-1 backup scheme. Two copies, one offline. My personal photos and videos are on a proper 3-2-1. I can redownload my movies and music. I can’t retake pictures from my childhood. It saves a lot of money doing it that way. My personal media is less than 1 TB, whereas my whole collection is many TB and would be prohibitively expensive to 3-2-1.

  Unless it was an annular eclipse, or it was a total eclipse and they weren’t in the path of totality. Then this is all they would see. Regardless without eclipse glasses you shouldn’t look at either eclipse at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I won't delete them either for nostalgia reasons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interns are another name for co-op. Higher education is where most of that happens. A lot of high schools will have internship programs too but those are different. So most interns are higher education students that have taken an internship over their summer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I won't delete them either for nostalgia reasons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An intern from a University probably won’t get paid but an intern from a Community College probably will get paid well.

  Just be more careful than Santa. He only checks his list twice cause the worst punishment he gives is a lump of coal. The guillotine is a lot more absolute in its punishment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hyperbaric oxygen chamber⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda looks like him and it would be the type of thing Tom Scott would demonstrate but he wouldn’t push pseudoscience so aggressively

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been there and all I can say is that the brain is a miraculous organ and can heal really well from a lot of trauma. You just have to stop damaging it, learn how to work with your brain rather than having your brain work for you, and exercise it. Challenge yourself to learn an easy skill, then another, then another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Look into:

  Talescale for an easy but limited option.

  Wireguard with a dynamic DNS service for something that provides more flexibility with a little set up.

  Don’t open a publicly facing port unless it’s for an encrypted tunnel. If you don’t want to open your computer to a lot of threats. Always use an encrypted tunnel when opening something to the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo and Disney aren’t evil because they’re cooperations, not people. It’s the people who sit on top of Disney and Nintendo who are either diabolically evil or spineless cowards who want money and power but are too scared to use it for good. Either way, Nintendo and Disney “don’t serve the public interest”.

  Well he’s in hell now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember quite a few adults telling me that children should be seen, not heard when I was little. It was popular and sucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little bit more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But you may want to encourage your enemies to do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These gender reveals are getting rather ridiculous..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even worse they had a device that could safely move the berilium spheres without the risk of them falling which would prevent the demon core from going prompt critical but no… Louis Slotin thought so highly of himself he literally couldn’t think that he could make a mistake and accidentally killed himself. Let that be the lesson that no one is mistakeproof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord’s complete lack of indexing. Although it’s definitely not impossible to scrape data from Discord it would take more resources than say reddit.
