I find that when I’m looking for very specific things Google is still king but DDG is much better for broad strokes.

I really do love the format. Everyone slept on it and its like 4k streaming no-hiccups essentially. Every frame is rendered. Action is fast.

I might just go back to blu-ray at this point. HBO still has my money because they generally seem to give a shit about quality at least.

Yeah that’s cool

Keep telling yourself that. 212,000 trackers and ads blocked on FFFocus so far.

StableDiff is really good at making Ghibli images, or at least reference points.

I catch it every so often but I’m not really missing anything anymore. Kinda like reaching for a newspaper for more takes on a story.

Extremely unlikely they would get TSMC either, which is one of the big reasons they want it.

Hey it’s better than the whiskey habit I picked up from Mad Men haha.

BOTW/TOTK Zelda games are the only ones that get it right. It’s a core game mechanic and they give you enough weapons to have fun with it.

Honestly if they are close enough to what you like it can be manageable. A critic that knows enough about themselves to understand why people like things they don’t they can be very worthwhile.

Some critics notably just don’t like action movies. An action movie B for them is probably a solid A for most.

Also for as much hate as it gets, places like Pitchfork where critics actually speak their mind are important.

I’m thinking the world just needs more one-off prolific critics that really give you how they feel about things. It’s funny that IGN is talking here, as they are very well known for being paid off and using the 70-100 rating scale so they don’t piss anyone off.

Bread has whooped my ass too. I am not having fun.

If you want to completely crush stuff like Cyberpunk and Starfield you could bother. The only reason I run what I do is that I need a workhorse and make money with my PC too.

I general I recommend the “Fast Motorcycle” principle for PC building. You can spend extra money for the “Fast Car” or Luxury Car” or even ball out for the “Fast Luxury Car”.

Depending on the task, a fast motorcycle will get you there quicker than other builds. When building for a gaming PC, just get basic cores with high clocks and spend a bit of extra money on a step up graphics cards.

I could build a pretty shredding PC for about ~$800 right now.

Back to your point, a $2k PC is basically a fast luxury car. I could have multiple adobe products open simultaneously, or do YouTube at the same time as Satisfactory or Cities Skylines. It’s a nice to have but if you aren’t doing heavy simultaneous tasks it’s not worth the money.

I don’t give a care about anything over 60 unless I’m playing competitive shooters and at that point my graphics are at a minimum. A 1070ti was killing it for me at 1440p 144hz in Apex and even Cyberpunk was running pretty clean.

It’s a pure luxury to get anything over 60 in modern single player games. Tears of the Kingdom does have frame drops, but the gameplay is so good I don’t care.

It’ll be like when everyone started using Google maps and now they just drive 40 mph through the neighborhoods instead of waiting an extra minute on a major road.

I have a few different drives that I mirror my documents folder to, then upload the most important stuff to cloud and thumb drive too.

I’d love to see some sort of local star universe map that shows what everything is looking at!

It doesn’t “know” anything. It can’t solve that problem. It’s trained on humans so it’s limited to what we have written down.

I love ChatGPT but if it’s creative it’s because you asked it the right questions and found an oblique answer yourself.

Yep, I think they made tons of bad design decisions trying to force it to be an esport. I think they went too restrictive too fast. One of each hero per team and having some sort of power-up system would’ve been the way to go. OW2 is just blatantly exacerbating the problems and they keep making it worse.

Immediately doing role restrictions was actually a bad community suggestion that removed some of the crazier counterplay opportunities. I just don’t think they could balance it in any reasonable way.

Yeah you’re pretty much dead on. If they were doing something even remotely interesting they would say that without being vague.

“I run an Amazon dropship reseller service for cheap pots and planters” is kinda dumb but you are running an actual business. the only way saying you’re an entrepreneur is cool is if you are selling something so sophisticated no one will have any clue what the fuck it is… and even then you’d elaborate a little.

The silence on the matter speaks volumes.

Honestly it’s pretty thought to make the food super neutral and still really good. You can follow all religious restrictions and still have trouble with what they actually like haha.
