As announced today by Nvidia, the company is “unlaunching” the 12GB RTX 4080. It claims this is because, while the card is “fantastic,” it’s too “confusing” to have two different GPUs that are both designated “RTX 4080.”

Well this is one huge shitty fucking bummer.

That and when you take into account places where you normally would encounter pedestrians, you’re not driving at high speeds in the first place.

That’s not to say Wizards of the Coast isn’t doing that work, though keeping a term that the industry and community is moving away from is an interesting choice.

How dare you criticize the slippery slope argument of this selfless author--they’re just asking questions. 

The Outer Banks isn’t just a vacation destination. More than 35,000 people live on the barrier islands year-round.

Sure you can. In fact, there are centuries of common law cases covering these types of things. Laws differ today, but in many places slurs can be considered fighting words and rarely fall under protected speech. 

If you want a digital watch that doesn’t look like a miniature smartphone on your wrist, there aren’t a lot of stylish options.

Bootleg Betamax? Are you using hyperbole or did you live somewhere where you couldn’t get DVDs or VCDs?

Just a reminder:

I’m not really sure if this little teaser is going to be much like the show, but if it is, I agree that the tone, and Faye’s characterization, is somewhat off from what I’d expect.

Okay. I’ll bite. Where are sexism and homophobia promoted in the book

Like the fact that Paul is not a messiah and that his empire was just as fucked up as the one that came before

Employees not getting credit for all the work they do—It’s almost like every other job in the world.

This should be correct. 

Streaming, despite any on-paper appearances, isn’t an easy job. You’re not just “playing games for fun.” You’re on camera eight, nine, twelve hours a day.

So I’ll start by saying that I’m not a person of color, however I’m a tattoo’d person that occasionally shops at Walmart looking like I just got done playing an 80s punk show and I was once treated similarly at a K-Mart.

I don’t keep track of Disney much but it seems to that it’s an odd interpretation simply because I though Disney has already released a couple of of movies recently (past year or so) with predominately (or all?) Asian/Asian-American casts. Maybe I’m wrong?

I haven’t played the game for a long time, but it used to be the case that most vintage tournaments (non-DCI/Wizards; but those were rare to begin with) allowed cards on the restricted list to be used as proxies. Is that still the case?
