The amazing thing is that despite ALL these lessons in what not to do in the next pandemic, there is nothing being done to prepare for the next one.

Fans do nothing to inanimate objects when it concerns ambient temperatures. So, you can put a fan on metal but its temperature will only, at best, reach equilibrium faster due to pushing away radiating heat and pulling in cooler air. The problem with summer heat is that the equilibrium is already too warm for most…

Intel has fab issues which is why they’re limping on right now. AMD is basically just going to milk Zen for as long as Intel lets them but AMD is in a much better position than Intel to “move on” and due to them fabbing out, they don’t just do the raw power trick. That’s for CPUs, of course. GPUs they’re all screwed…

It’s interesting that this would have been great in years 1-3 of Skyrim when the genre and multiplayer open world survival games were a rarity, but now? Even bad indie games have better mechanics than Skyrim in a multiplayer context.

Well, consider that most images you may have seen like this before, that were presented as “real” just weren’t or were composite images, often from disparate origins. Or, it was just outright art being represented as a photograph.

Ah. Propaganda. Almost as fine as the USA’s own. One nation is still standing and a lot of it is because of the Space Race. You know, the actual, important firsts and accomplishments.

It is not. What’s weird is that it has been so long since we had an achievement worthy of presidential announcement. But every sitting President eventually announces or shows off something that was done when they weren’t in office or in opposition to their party. There’s a reason why we didn’t collapse under Trump.…

My main problem with CREATED images “based off” scientific measurements or one or one subset of wavelengths is that they’re presented as visual fact. They should always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS have a hard watermark of “enhanced” or “altered”.

Really, really, really hate what this show has become. Not necessarily the creative choices just the....terrible implementation on almost every level.

My god I hate that kind of color palette. I love colorful, particularly saturated colorful, but this? Gross, but I know I am mostly by myself on this.

They’re a gaming blog. Gaming journalism just doesn’t exist anymore. (some would argue never did) You’ll get a few good pieces here and there and Kotaku has been blackballed by weak, petty companies like Bethesda iirc, for stirring the pot but nevertheless. Blog,

I don’t think the controls are weird, just very difficult to master for some (me included). I also would be surprised if they did. More than half the reason Skate even exists is because of its control scheme and being an enthusiast take on the genre.

I’m a pretty jaded person when it comes to online enthusiasm for games since so many are easily delighted with smoke and mirrors, but this game is kind of like tetris in that on the surface it doesn’t seem special until you play it. You just have to try it to appreciate it and to truly appreciate it in full, you need…

So glad PS1 titles are getting more love lately with translations. I still seriously need to make time to play Racing Lagoon.

To anyone who “dares” object to “politics and whatever”:

What about when politicians and misguided citizens force their views on you by restricting and removing rights and autonomy? At what point do you discuss that everywhere?

I think people are surprised that it’s so easy to be this unaccountable and evasive with the law that even an IDIOT could do it. Finally, for once, it’s literally true!

Hard disagree about Xbox Live contributing much to online gaming in any practical sense for the gamer in a general sense. It was something special for console gamers, sure.

When the next World War happens among civilian targets will be data centers. In the USA they’re exceptionally soft and valuable because, god bless these corporations, it’s just more profitable to have mega centers, either enormous buildings or locally close sets of buildings, for infrastructure. With little redundancy…
