  YouTube does a shit ton of A/B testing so they probably didn’t roll that change out to everyone yet. I currently don’t have any issues either but they will eventually hit us with that shit.

  Just like that doge guy who was fired after admitting they didn’t find any significant evidence of fraud/mismanagement

  It’s usually a constant (or several ones with varying degrees of accuracy and size)

  I loved enter the matrix. It was lowkey more fun with the cheats though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conceived in secrecy and born in haste, Aukus (submarine deal) is on its last legs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All I can find is that the costs followed inflation as expected. And, yeah there were some delays but getting full sovereignty over the construction of your military submarines (because that was the end goal there, the transfer of technologies, including state of the art, silent non-nuclear propulsion, so Australia could ultimately build their own subs “with total sovereignty”, according to the deal). I see zero mention of the terms of the contract changing after its signing apart from that.

  And if you think that’s bad I’ve got some news for you about the delays and costs of that AUKUS thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conceived in secrecy and born in haste, Aukus (submarine deal) is on its last legs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that the subs that France would have already delivered years ago for a fraction of the price, had Australia not cancelled the contract to order American subs that everyone told them would be late and over budget ?

  Take the 9950X3D, your kid should thank you. It fares much better in games that are poorly optimized and should otherwise be just as good if not better than the Intel one.

  My phone is more accurate

  Yeah I’m not sure why that’s news. At least Nintendo is being somewhat transparent about if

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Children could also swallow the toothpaste. Not a huge deal if they do it once but iirc it can be pretty dangerous in the long run

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Last epoch’s campaign is so mid too. I feel like they somehow both underplayed and overplayed the time travel stuff. At least it’s pretty short

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one has been doing that kind of claims directly since… TW3 actually ? Or maybe Watch Dogs. Epic Games and CDPR know that every content creator under the sun will run with that and make these claims for them to start the hype machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You probably don't remember these but I have a question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then I think you’ll have much better luck figuring out a way to get a jack-to-USB adapter to work with your car’s radio

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You probably don't remember these but I have a question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it will work in USB. Afaik on PC it can only work with iTunes, so good luck installing that in your car. If it’s “that” old though, it should have the one interface that is so perfect it has barely changed in one century.

  (The audio jack…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not unbelievable. If the trees voxelization thing is just a visualisation mode in the engine, it’s stupidly easy to “ship” it into a dev build and activate it with a shortcut. Hell the nanite visualisation thing they showed on foliage before that one is exactly that, and iirc enabled by default in dev, you just need to toggle a cvar to see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it. I’ve had access to a ps5 devkit and UE5 in the past.

  What I don’t believe is that they can actually run a full-fledged game on the same hardware at the same level of fidelity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s a weak attack, if only because the tankie instances heavily really on it too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not using one with my fairphone, it’s bulky enough already, the entire back is replaceable for cheap and the frame looks solid. I dropped it quite a lot, including on some hard surfaces, and it’s only made a few superficial marks, like it scraped the frame’s shiny coating in that spot, but that’s about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I say let them cook. Their “worst” game is Pyre (iirc it really didn’t sell well) and it’s still a very good game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC they (or at least their design lead) explicitly stated that since the founders were Diablo fans, something like Hades was basically their dream.(And imo you can already see some of that in Bastion and Transistor so I don’t think it was PR talk) So it’s not surprising they’d go for a sequel given how well it was received. But I’m sure they’ll stop soon enough, they don’t seem to be the kind of studio that is in it for the money and I’m sure Hades and Hades 2 are given them more than enough money to take creative risks in the future.

  Sounds like they could be fully replaced with AI. Not sure we’d lose much there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Argument for Cutting Off Internet for Repeated Piracy: Sony Music & More Say the Law’s Clear, No Supreme Court Intervention Necessary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How is there even an argument there ?? You need the internet to find work, handle tons of administrative bs etc. You basically cannot function as a citizen in most western countries without it nowadays.

  Maybe start by pricing your shit fairly and not have me pay 7 different subscriptions to watch movies that were shot before the internet existed. Not to mention that I don’t want any of my infos on your servers because you’ve demonstrated several times that you don’t care nearly as much about this data than your precious IPs, Sony.
