I have a buddy that literally just had coffee spilled on his old gaming laptop. He mostly used it for some older games, like Skyrim was the newest. And he does a lot of urban camping and stuff like that.
The Steam Deck is a perfect replacement for his use case. Just waiting for another sale since he just missed this recent one.
It’s also par for the course with recent Quantic Dream announcements.
The Kara tech demo was released March 2012 (over a year before the current game they were working on, Beyond: Two Souls released). And Detroit: Become Human gave us the corresponding game for Kara but didn’t release until May 2018. So that’s 6 years from announcement/introduction of a new game to it’s release.
Star Wars Eclipse was announced in 2021. It’s a Quantic Dream game, they usually take their time, deliver a polished release and don’t really talk about stuff until the release. I’d rather they take their time than release the shit everyone else does. That’s probably the worst example to use of Star Wars stuff being bad recently.
And yet Proton is Swiss.
Microsoft just needs to start kicking shit out of the Kernel. Allowing any of it is inherently insecure on a fundamental level.
Depends on whether they negotiated contract pricing beforehand. The price increases aren’t because of manufacturing cost increases, they’re because of high demand. Retail pricing isn’t really related to bulk wholesale contract pricing at all.
There’s a lot more than just recognizing known raw IP addresses used as endpoints.
One method larger services with CDNs use effectively is to use DNS for blocking. When you try to access a site, your DNS request will resolve to a server close to you, with your location determining the domain resolving to a different IP. Then the platform just responds to those requests from outside their normal area with a consistent message. No need to know whether it’s actually a VPN or not, the traffic is acting like it is and doesn’t really have much of a reason to do that normally.
VPNs aren’t hard to detect, especially if you’re using a major service.
It was a lot more than that. He said from the beginning he was onboard for like 7 seasons if they stuck to the source material. Season 1 they immediately started fucking with main characters. The showrunners made it clear they wanted to make their own story, but had to use The Witcher IP.
The best scenes in the first season were ones that Cavill insisted were changed and that he worked on specifically to stay truer to the source material and his character.
Not sure why you are being downvoted for this
The downvotes are probably because they’re just stating something obvious. No shit, bad looking CGI looks bad, that doesn’t mean the actual CGI itself is necessarily bad. Small things like wrong lighting can make otherwise great CGI look terrible. The reasons DO matter, even if the average person may not really care and just has the takeaway of “bad CGI”.
Posting that type of response is not actually providing anything to the discussion, it’s a useless comment that provides no value. Not all comments and opinions are valid or constructive. The voting system is not really for agree/disagree, but whether a post adds to the discussion.
I’d argue it matters quite a bit. It shows producers, and by extension a studio, that can’t manage production effectively, and that almost always extends to the rest of the movie. “Bad” CG is rarely the only issue with those movies, it’s just what you remember most since movies in general require the suspension of disbelief and that pulls you right out of it.
So 90% of the self-proclaimed “power users”.
And often that’s not because the CGI itself is bad quality, but because the effects team was asked to do the impossible with half the tools necessary. The “fix it in post” mentality.
Even small things like having reference lighting examples from the set can be the difference between an okay outcome and something almost imperceptible.
There’s a lot of other shorr from content. There’s a lot that’s just quick highlights of longer form stuff for instance.
My YouTube Shorts algorithm doesn’t have any of that type of shit in it. Because that’s not the type of stuff that I watch, that’s not the stuff it recommends to be either.
If you’re using a new or privacy focused web profile, it’s going to show a lot of random things because it has no idea what you would want.
The initial attempt to scrub away the Banksy left behind a clear outline of the original that still made the original intent perfectly clear
It is very likely that was intentional and a planned part of the art in the first place given we’re talking about Banksy here. Knowing how they would try to remove it, and planning for that to further the art would totally be part of a Banksy piece.
Lucifer dared to question his father and was cast out for eternity and demonized for not blindly obeying. Not surprising he’d be a bit salty about that.
IIRC in the Bible Lucifer only kills one person, versus the millions God kills at a whim, usually for disobeying some bullshit he came up with that he never told anyone about.
Satan really just runs the place for God’s undesirables. Why would you want to worship the largest mass murderer in history in the first place though?
Assuming the stories and parables are true, or even based on any sort of reality, which of course they aren’t.
Mandatory school advertising on your children. And people say advertising in the US is out of control…
I see you’ve never heard of any big guys nicknames being Tiny?
Eh Diamond is okay, as long as it’s artifical. Better clarity and color, not contributing to the blood diamond trade, and a fraction of the price.
That being said, there are a ton of other prettier gems anyway, diamonds are boring as fuck.
While it is opt-in, it requires almost no user input other than agreeing. Everything is automated and takes just a few seconds.
I’m willing to bet the number of people that opt out is so small that it is statistically irrelevant.
