prove it. most testing shows memory runs slightly hotter but soc temps are lower and the fan is louder. people who actually measured die temps instead of pointing an ir camera at the exhaust and measuring from two different points.  toms found soc temps down 10 degrees and vram up 8 while both still being well below…

The guy who discovered aluminum spelled it “aluminum” (eventually), but the accepted spelling is actually “aluminium”. You naturally lose creative control when you share something with others, because at the end of the day public consensus matters more than what you originally wanted.

It’s not often that the creator of something is wrong about his own creation.

Look. Not every game needs to be political. In fact, I’d say most games shouldn’t. Do you really want Mario talking about the plight of the working man? Do you want Sonic lecturing you on the effects plastics have on the environment? For most people, the answer to that is going to be no.

While there are exceptions,…

1. There is plenty of non-violent, non-racist critical feedback going their way (which the dev still responds to in a very hostile way) and it’s dishonest to categorize all of it as violent hatespeech,

It’s worth noting that the Japanese live action version of Spiderman was, if I remember correctly, where the Super Sentai and Rider genres came from. I’m course talking about the 1971 series where Spiderman had a giant robot. This is why Super Sentai costumes resemble the Spiderman to an extent. It’s also why there’s…

Ugh, why did Arifureta of all things get an anime? I’ve read the first 1.5 light novels, and they were so bad that I permanently deleted them from my Amazon account. The really frustrating thing is that the first half of book one is really good. The protagonist is underpowered and has to get clever to survive. Then,…

It wont be an authentic FFXIV show unless they stroll through mor dhona and there’s an elf on a flaming wolf, next to a lalafell on a behemoth running in circles, next to a hopping car.

Except doing that is hard, carries risks, and is not a viable long term strategy for building detailed profiles of foreigners. What the Chinese government wants to do is track as much as they can about people both within and outside China. This is why you are starting to see WeChat(also owned by Tencent) being…

agreed! My thought comes from how we use it in gaming - up until the epic games store it has solely been used to denote exclusive to platforms - PC/PS/Xbox/Switch/DS/Vita/etc. and now everyone seems to be using it the exact same way, with no explanation of difference, for the epic store. Like I never heard anyone say…

Exclusivity isn’t platform-limited. It can be limited by any kind of factor. If the Epic Games store is the only store selling a digital product, then they have complete control over the price and how that product can be used. That’s obviously exclusivity by any reasonable definition. (That being said, the same thing…

I will disagree with you saying that Tencent giving data data to the Chinese government is outlandish. It’s pretty well understood in national security circles that if a major Chinese corporation has your data, then so does the Chinese government. The line between the Chinese government and Chinese corporations is…

We don’t tell people to find something else to do when it comes to books or movies and we should avoid doing it here.

There are so many games out there, Joshua. This one just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. It doesn’t need to bend over backwards with an easy mode.

Doubling down on stupid I see.

Stories have been changed, accusations withdrawn, and video has surfaced clearly disproving the initial story. The best you can do in response is point to MAGA hats and scream that the teenagers were obnoxious.

Yes, they’re teenagers. People that were older and supposedly wiser initiated a…

More fucking horseshit.

Phillips did not “enter the space between them” - he explicitly said on CBS News that he walked into the high school group to prevent them from harassing the poor innocent black protesters. The fact that those black protesters were using vile, homophobic, racist language is downplayed by you,…

Yeah, the name alone made me skip this one. As a rule, postmodernism tends to lend itself to pretentious, un-fun, and outright insulting trash tier stories. There might occasionally be a post-modern take on something that’s actually interesting. But, it seems like the vast majority of them are put together by people…

Because it’s the commonly accepted acronym for point of view. Seeing as we’re in the middle of a worldwide character shortage, using acronyms is all but necessary for finishing sent

No-no-no-no-no!

There’s no such thing as a word choice that’s, “objectively better.” It all depends on what you’re writing. More specifically, it depends on the tone you’re going for in what you’re writing.

For example, if your PoV character is a child then even in a third person narrative you’re going to want to stick…

Well, you had the end of Dragonball Super early in the year. MHA season three partway through. Then Jojo, Goblin Slayer, and That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime all at the tail end. Between all that and the shows mentioned by the editor, I’d say it was a pretty solid year. Maybe not as crazy good as some previous…
