Yeah, that’d be like the web browser equivalent of going into the Windows registry editor and changing a value in there. Like, it’s there, but unless you already know what you’re looking for, it’s not really an option.

Might be meta commentary; the ai generated portion is the Firefox part, which is the “side” pushing AI

This teaser was damn intense at the game awards. I was very much like “what is even going on” and feeling pretty uncomfy. Incredibly gruesome, gorey and explicit.

And then it showed “Larian Studios” and I understood. What a reveal!

Especially MW 2022, that game went off the deep end with microtransactions and cosmetics

re: edit: Thanks ^^ I like to think of it like a cuddle pit. On YouTube it always brights up a gentleman pecking his Pitbull tho ><; , and armpits seem to be a valid interpretation too.

Learned the hard way that it isn’t suitable for Roblox tho.

A lot of my friends have said they prefer girth, fwiw.

Jokes aside, that’s a good point. HDMI/DisplayPort, like USB, pass digital signals over many small cables in a bundle. With how much data uncompressed high res images consist of, I doubt there’s a lot of redundancy or parity the way there may be for Cat6 cable using TCP. At a certain point, without a powered repeater cable, the image will probably not work (or not reliably). Idk if that would appear as “no signal” or dropped frames, though.

Passive adapters don’t have much power to work with for signal processing… Idk how different the image signals themselves are between HDMI and DisplayPort, but I know from working with EDIDs that there’s many optional modes and features for both, like multiple audio/videos streams (3d video, surround sound, hdmi arc), different colorspaces, HDR and VRR. I’d be surprised if any passive HDMI-to-DP adapter supports more than the most common modes and features.

Some parents do this with speech impediments because it’s “cute”

It’s harder to unlearn and relearn :(

but as a puppy play thing, hehe yeah :3

FWIW, the game has some gorgeous volumetric lighting, fog and effects. I do think it looks more current-gen than many other games, and it doesn’t rely on heavy raytracing options to do it.

It’s still ridiculous though, especially considering the game doesn’t support any modern algorithms for upscaling, but defaults to upscaling anyways.

Though, I know it didn’t have the budget of many AAA games and the engine has been long-since unsupported, so props to Arrowhead for doing as much as they have!

Lowkey makes me question whether the theories of publishers inflating file size to monopolize gamers hard drives and, thus, their time, could carry more weight than I previously thought.

I know Nanite can enable some massive assets to ship, so maybe that’s part of the current file size situation. Also uncompressed audio can be really big!

But this is like 1/6 the file size, without reducing quality or compressing data… that’s insane!

Nuclear is also a good option. It has the potential to scale up to our generation needs faster than green energy, and it can still be environmentally clean when any byproduct is handled responsibly.

Do I trust my government (USA) to enforce proper procedure and handling? Not really… but I do think we’re less likely to have a nuclear accident in the present day. Modern designs have many more fail safes. And I think it’d still be much cleaner than burning fossil fuels.

I think they need to coexist, though. I think a goal in the far-future should be a decentralized grid with renewable energy sources integrated wherever they can be.

Edit: Username was “SmoochyPit”

Wanted a place to dump this. I stopped playing in February when they prevented playing on Linux via Wine. Tried logging in now that Sober exists (sometime in August), and was met with this.

My account and username is 11 years old. I’ve spent money on premium currency and items. Hasn’t ever been a problem. I tried to appeal…

I was not given any notice about it. I checked, and there was not an email sent when my account was actioned. No warnings, not a thing.

I tried to explain this in a reply, but they shut it down, saying there would be no further communication on this issue, since it was more than 30 days old.

Feels super unfair. But I’m powerless here…

 
 

My stylus broke. Here’s my “you told me so” to @aBundleOfFerrets, @huginn, @optissima, and the creator themself, @the16bitgamer.

You told me so! I’ll print it horizontally and report back o7

 
 

Also I made a new acc so I can use Voyager! Previously used @SmoochyPit@beehaw.org.

My main reason for moving to Lemmy/Kbin was to have 3rd party app support, and Beehaw ceasing Lemmy updates has now prevented that (for Voyager, at least). I still love Beehaw though, but the website is really bad on mobile.

Anyways I’ll comment a picture when this print finishes 🙏
