I’m sure there are instances of that happening too, this is just the first arrest that came to mind when I read the OPs comment.

Swing and a miss, dude.

Can you imagine sitting through that stalling live at the arena?

That sounds like the way they hype up Dragonball Z episodes.

Bryan Danielson winning the world title at Wrestlemania 30 back in 2014. This is not a joke that is the last time WWE was genuinely entertaining. It all slowly turned to shit afterwards until it became nearly unwatchable. I quit watching in 2018 when they refused to cancel their second KSA show and brought back Hulk…

Usually/sometimes, for a while

Also Sigma Klim in Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward.

You know what, though? That's fine. Nintendo did it with Metroid Prime 4; we're still waiting, but at least I have faith that when it does come out, it won't be a steaming pile. Good for Ubisoft for recognizing the Sunk Cost Fallacy. (and yes, I feel a little dirty about saying Good for Ubisoft) 

Precisely. I FUCKING HATE this centrist attitude that somehow allowing Nazis a turn protects “freedom of speech” despite the fact that a Nazi’s belief is inherently violent. Like racists, homophobes, anti-semites, etc, the message is inherently violent regardless of whether or not there is a full on intent to make…

Obviously that would be a goal, but it's not realistic to just shit can the entire system to stop a little hacking.  Better they try something than just do nothing.

Yeah, the funny thing is from what I’ve read the “story” of DNF’s development isn’t anything particularly unique or strange. They kept changing the design and changing their technology and they just couldn’t make enough progress to actually finish the game. I think the only unusual thing about it is that the game kept…

Imagine being a white male with a European background, looking at your place in human history and saying to yourself: “Wait a minute, why I am not a bigger deal right now?”

It’s like how “facts don’t care about your feelings” has an unwritten “because they only care about mine” at the end.

It depends, since games can support some, but not all ray-tracing features. Shadow of the Tomb Raider for example, only uses it for the shadows. But yes, ray-tracing can do complete real-time lighting, to the point where the game would be pitch black if it was turned off. Which was actually the reason why the…

It’s a different technique for rendering scenes. Traditional 3D rendering starts by looking at every pixel on the screen and drawing a line in the scene from each pixel in the direction of the camera, and you check to see if that line intersects with any objects. If it does, now you know what color that pixel is, and…

I own a boxed copy of Navigator 2.. says something when the internet was too slow to download the tool you needed to use to navigate it.

“but while gifs have always held at least some basic animation functionality, that aspect of their use didn’t really take off until the 1990s”

Say the letters individually: “Gee Eye Eff”

The word “GIF” and how its used is a really interesting example of how technical terms change meaning over time.

Its not even that widespread, its a very noisy minority especially on twitter that the right wing have jumped on. Hell even in the UK when it started as a Left Wing thing the proponents have been skewing heavily to the right recently (see JK Rowling for details). But when you look at the general surveys most peeps a…
