if I can get a solid 60fps with ray-traced reflections, I’ll take that over 144. Reflections and shadows do a lot for me

immediately what I thought of when I read this post. Even when I was 10 I was like “this is weird…”
- Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 3 weeks ago:
I won’t go so far as to use the word “normie” like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it’s fine. I’d rather have slow growth, thanks. I’m not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don’t want to hang out with them.
- Comment on Palantir partners with Microsoft to sell AI to the government 3 months ago:
It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

I also prefer the 2012 art to the modern style, but if Mike likes to draw the way he does now then good for him. He’s clearly demonstrated his artistic prowess over the years and I’d guess wanted to make his own exaggerated style. It’s definitely instantly recognizable as his
- Comment on Who could pass up this ballin' opportunity? 4 months ago:
PA refers to Penny Arcade, a gaming culture webcomic that’s run since '98. Tycho Brahe (besides being a 16th centure Danish astronomer) is name of one of the main characters in the comic as well as the pseudonym of it’s main writer, Jerry Holkins.
- Comment on Mhhhh 4 months ago:
of the three, I guess it would go for Darkness. She’d be a lot of effort to keep happy though. I just couldn’t deal with Aqua and Megumin is way too young
IMO best girl is Luna, the adventurer’s guild receptionist. Wiz is also good. Chris too.
- Comment on What's up with all the "___punk" stuff? 4 months ago:
It’s not meaningless, it’s just evolved into signifying an aesthetic/lifestyle different from the norm. English is a living language, so many words change in meaning over time
- Comment on Everyone needs a Nijika 4 months ago:
I know it’s a meme but introversion != crippling shyness/social awkwardness, it just means that you “gain energy” when you’re alone whereas extroverts “gain energy” from being with other people.

No way. You’re telling me the afterlife definitely exists, they’ll wish me back to regular life if/when I die, I can make buzzsaws that can cut through anything, I can fly, and I get a shot with Android 18? Fucking sign me up.

While I’d prefer better rail and public transportation infrastructure in America, this is a really cool use case for EVs that I’m excited about. See this video for how this works out in the real world

- Comment on Some weird spam and christo-cultic propaganda. Would we defed from it? 10 months ago:
It is sort of in the next update. Users can “block” instances, what this means is that they will not see posts or communities from the blocked instance, however they will still see the blocked instances users posts on communities on other instances, as well as their comments on posts on other instances. This feature should work to block the spam you’re talking about. We haven’t upgraded to that new version on sh.itjust.works yet because it introduced a bug in the federation system that hasn’t been fixed yet.
- Comment on Some weird spam and christo-cultic propaganda. Would we defed from it? 10 months ago:
See the posts column in this screenshot for context:
That testimonial community at the top is the only spamming one as far as I can immediately tell. Every user is able to easily block that community with two clicks. I’m personally not inclined to defederate from an instance without multiple communities/whole instances dedicated to spamming, tons of bots, rampant and/or admin-sanctioned bigotry, rampant trolling, illegal content (that the admins already defederate automatically on their own), or something causing an existential crisis within lemmy (like threads). I don’t think lemmy.staphup.nl qualifies on spamming. If I were admin of that instance, I’d definitely ban the testimonial community though.
- Comment on Some weird spam and christo-cultic propaganda. Would we defed from it? 10 months ago:
It’s the voting community of this instance. Users (or admins) post discussions on rule/policy changes like your post here, they’re discussed for a while, then an admin posts a vote thread for sh.itjust.works users to vote whether we should accept the change. Your post should go there.
- Comment on Can't remember the last time I wasn't tired 11 months ago:
To anyone reading this, do you find yourself unable to keep from nodding off in the middle of the day? You might have sleep apnea. If you can see a doctor, you should. I got a cpap and it changed my life. I went from being able to fall asleep anywhere at any time (and having to take a nap on my lunch break), to being truly well-rested every day for the first time in years.

“Lol,” he said. “Lmao.”
- Comment on Hannah Montana was meant as a silly premise, but now it just makes sense. 11 months ago:
Hannah Montana was a Disney show where a girl was a popstar under a different name and wig so she could be a normal person when she wasn’t performing. VTubers, like Ironmouse that op referenced, are streamers that essentially play characters rather than being themselves in order to preserve their anonymity. They have cameras that track their movement, but rather than just stream the feed of the camera, they map that movement on an avatar, usually a 3d anime girl.
