When this baby hits 8x10^8000000000 fs/Z you’re gonna see some serious shit

I would agree with this if Zuck hadn’t been in the news recently talking about how Meta is desperately filling their userbase with bots, on purpose

Yes, but that doesn’t make it any less of an absolute scum sucking move.

This is the correct answer

I mean, these are all real CIA documents being referenced, you can go read them yourself. It’s trustable in as much as you can trust the CIA to be straightforward within their own documentation that wasn’t declassified until 20 years later.

They made a pretty good case through a series of generally ethical experiments to prove that at least some forms of psychic phenomena like remote viewing are almost certainly real, if not exactly reliable or common. I thought that was pretty neat.

Other than that, no, I can’t think of much.

I stay defending the weird genius of Yoko Taro’s art to my brother and I stay being vindicated about this

Similarly, when I tried to learn to play using a mute, it sounded like absolute dogshit because the mute changes a ton about how the instrument sounds and feels to play. You’re going to sound (and probably be) off key and the lung pressure feels different because you’re blocking part of the air flow out of the instrument. It requires a technique adjustment to sound right.

I don’t have a whole network setup like the rest of you guys, but I’ve been naming my desktop pc’s SHODAN ever since I built my first one. Secondary/partner’s pc is named XERXES. I’ll probably never change them.

Nice cherry picking of the densest area of detail in World vs an empty open field in Rise.

Rise looks great when you aren’t looking for ways to dunk on it.

Besides which, World was such a sluggish beast that I was running the game on minimum settings anyway just to play the damn thing. So uh, I never got to see how beautiful it looks in your photo. Sure, it’s detailed, it looks good, it also runs like shit so maybe 10% of players got to actually see that. My point here was that Rise was a very impressive gain in performance for a relatively small loss in graphical fidelity. Good job Capcom, well done.

I have no idea how they pull this off though, because Rise looks damn near about as good as World does IMO, with faster and crazier gameplay, and runs at 80 higher FPS. Either their “fancy PC game” team is trash or their mobile team is legendary, because I don’t see how a minor change of art style and small drop in the number of individual grasses per map made such a huge change.

Now, Wilds does look a little crazy and I can understand how exactly the Deck might struggle on that one. But the playability difference between World and Rise without losing much graphical fidelity genuinely blew my mind. World limps along at 14 FPS on the Deck and Rise plays smooth as butter on the Switch as well as the Deck.

Some VR games are really great. Skyrim VR is definitively NOT one of those.

I also wasn’t familiar so I looked them up.

Reality Labs is Meta’s VR/metaverse branch.

Mapillary was previously a crowdsourced maps program like OpenStreetMaps, which was acquired by Meta in 2020. Presumably they’re looking to EEE it and fold it into Meta proper.

Beluga is a Twitter clone, I can’t find anything objectively bad about it other than being a Twitter clone.

“How to put a collar on a cat” yeah that tracks honestly

The aviation industry can absorb a whole lot of sin before they’re on equal danger footing with automotive, if for no other reason than sheer volume. Most people, unless you fly constantly for work, get on a plane once a year or less. Most people drive to work almost every day. Roads have traffic, the skies do not (at least, not nearly to the same extent, midair collisions can happen but they’re rare).

I have no doubt the skies are about to become noticeably less safe, but they’ve got a looooot of catching up to do before they dethrone the automobile as one of the top 3 leading causes of death in America.

Nice.

I came in here to post about having a copy of Titus Burkhardt’s Alchemy tome and DKMU Assault On Reality but I think yours might take the cake instead, as well as possibly including both of those texts.

Not trans, per se, but Jesus (or at least, symbolic representations of him and what he stands for) have been hermaphroditic from the very beginning. The source point of divinity is the Union of Opposites according to alchemists - who were quite Christian for the most part.

The assignment is fundamentally flawed.
