Dont think this is an unpopular opinion. I can happily play most any game made in the last 15 years and be pretty happy, and if the OG game was pretty plain there’s always modders (like, morrowind/system shockn2 or freespace mods make a huge difference for that age of game) I was just watching GDQ today and surprised by well some games over a decade old just look… Perfectly fine. I find myself Turing rtx on and off a bit to figure out what difference it’s actually making - i believe rtx is a bigger win forndev workload than the quality increase for gamers. (Don’t get me wrong, full glass/water/puddke reflections are incredible, but it’s a lot of $$$ for the visual jump)

Time for Ea-nāṣir to shine!

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

My hardcore windows only friend is discussing joining me on Bazzite really seriously. If it gets him, it will get a few tech savvy but windlass only people.

Still a long way off non-tech people though

We create tech these days to extract maximum value from the populace, not so much to make lives better

Not at all, there are valid uses for LLMs and I take this community with a gain of salt. I think a lot of us passionately hate the hype narrative and useless uses for the tech, but it doesn’t mean that every single use of it is inherently bad.

The biggest thing if worry about might be the risk of it giving/outputting misleading information if it’s easy for you to sense check it.

Yeah there’s bug fixes I’ve been following for 3-4 years that have no traction, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Considering radar just got discontinued I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the same happened to lidarr.

I can speak from personal experience it feels a hell of a lot more than 1d4 damage.

Oh that’s tremendous, I don’t run windows to see this. But come to think of it I have come across some ancient screens doing odbc/data connections ancient popups in excel at work!

If some of the stories are to be believed, some of the code dates back to 3.1/dos too

House deposit 1000%

I got started at 29 and I am very lucky I did

The whole Daikatana story is wild

Yeah I’m sold to, thanks internet stranger!

No, that never happened, show stopped right there

Lossless scaling worked wonders for me on windows before I upgrades to a 4080.

I only game Linux now, so I hope this becomes an option

I love we have people doing things like this

I don’t blame him for not showing up! And she tried to gaslight him into coming!

Australia: A mother was found guilty today of murdering her in-laws and a friend by inviting them over for a beef Wellington lunch, laced with foraged Death Cap mushrooms. Tried fairly hard to get her (estranged) husband over for the lunch too.

Yeah I felt the same way. We obviously only get a sanitised view of proceedings, but it seemed like a lot of circunstancial evidences and a lot of lying on her behalf, but I’m not sure the prosecution case scaled reasonable doubt for me. Of course, what the jury actually saw in court will be different to what we have had reported by the media.

Been following this one closely, I wasn’t sure the jury would climb the barrier of reasonable doubt to be honest.
