I can’t get a burger at McDonalds without the burger part of the burger squeezing out of the burger. I don’t think I’ve even gotten an order of fries in there without fries spewing out all over the tray or to go bag. And it’s fries sitting in a specially design fry cup.

Do we really think these people can keep cream…

but I have never put a 1/4" of butter on anything

I dunno how much of a thing that is. If you can get a bank account you can get a debit card. If that’s a no go you can get gift cards for steam, and every major console’s download store and subscription service at every 7-Eleven and drug store in the country. And most of the “under banked” communities I’ve lived in…

This also seems like it was the primary driver with the trade ins. Seems like the only people I know who were ever involved too heavy in that were teens, and college student who were momentarily broke. Short of money and can’t shop online or on credit. So trade in piles of stuff to get the price of the new console or…

Those things are cool. Like miniaturized apartment scale slack belt sanders. And they’re apparently a much better option if you are shopping for a machine.

There’s a problem with that though. I live in such a place. A third of the GameStop nearest me would work out to a single PC or console station.

It might work as part of something but I think it’s just too limited of an idea. And I don’t think GameStop is set up in a way that would even work.

Gamestop basically moved to focus on used game sales as they started to lose ground to big box retailers, and popularity of malls collapsed. Never had much in the way of PC stuff or other media and electronics, they had bought out and shuttered most of the other mall shops including all of the other ones that did…

The thing is that non urban areas often lack enough population density to make things that specific work. I’m parked outside a PC gaming space and computer repair shop. They’ve got a going out of business sale going on and I’ve never seen anyone in there. It’s in a built up retail area in a run downish suburb. There…

I think it’s just to the left of a really good strategy. Social spaces like this are proliferating in a lot of cities and downtown areas. But they’re a little more generalized. Yes PC gaming stations, lan parties and shit. But also table top gaming, league play and shit. And along with that often the whole hack/maker…

She seems to have been taken advantage of by people looking to make a buck or validate their own ideas.

I really enjoy the crazy balls theories around this stuff. They haven’t neccisarily focused on any of the major daddy did it stories. But Last Podcast on the Left tends to cover the fringe claims around a lot of the cases they cover. Either worked into the overview or broken into a seperate episode just for…

I think she also claimed to be JFK’S illegitimate daughter. Black Dahlia came later.

Yeah I was referring to multiple claims of Black Dahlia daddys. Hodel isn’t the only one to claim both, just the most high profile. Many people have claimed a connection between the two, and at least a few of the familial claims have included that nugget.

He’s not even the first to claim his dad was Zodiac. Though if memory serves the first “Zodiac is my daddy” claim came before the first “My Daddy did Black Dahlia” claim, which didn't hit till the 90's. And *several* people claiming a family member as Black Dahlia claim that family member was also Zodiac. It's a very…

Well I dunno that it’s actually a surprise though. Cause like I said it’s a DX feature that can already be used with a GPU that supports it. The news on that particular one is an AMD graphics chip that supports it.

Almost all of its already come out. The tflop rating is new, but it can be a bad way to gauge performance in gaming. VRS is a part of DX12 but previous AMD GPUs haven’t supported it. DX Raytracing is likewise part of DX12 and something you can run on any GPU.

I have an 8 core zen 2 processor in my PC right now. RDNA2 cards for the PC are expected to hit before the end of the year, probably July. The basic outline of what would be in the new consoles has been out for a long while, from AMD tech announcements among other things.

If memory serves DX12 raytracing derives from raytracing work AMD did way back. Sorta in the same way that both Vulcan/Mantle and DX12's low level graphics API are rooted in the same cross industry effort from way back. Both MS and AMD were heavily involved in projects to cooperate on improving Opengl and create low…
