Get in the basket, Clarice

That would be the hope - if it’s that well preserved it’s probably not outgassing? But we must know! For SCIENCE!

Dan Simmons could probably write some pretty good Scifi about this.

That is some crazy neat stuff.

Maybe we’ve just approached a soft limit on how many crap releases it’s worth for the shovelware people to crank out a year.

I hadn’t tried that one - I guess that modeler was doing things the ‘traditional’ way.

Movies have a different logic... Consoles: +1 is better. Movies: +1 is (usually) worse.

Thank you very much for the reply! I’d be down with this.

I noticed while playing that she wasn’t a typically sexy design video game female character. She’s built like a moderately fit normal person, and her body and especially face are too square for the rounded sexy/protect me look that designers like, even for female characters that are badasses like Aloy in Horizon Zero…

So where does the CWA sit on the spectrum of stupidly restrictive floor rules? I do a lot of cross discipline work (I enjoy it) and still remember one job where I wasn’t even allowed to plug in my own PC because that was some union sloth’s job. I don’t want to be told that because I’m an engineer I’m not allowed to…

I’m sorry, I’m really still back on Pizzagate :/ :/ :/

Something I probably should have said in the original post, but my posts tend to get away from me so I held it back is that this kind of confusing naming is usually on purpose and a sure sign of a shady operator, like Nvidia.

As you suggest, there is probably a decade worth of shitty AMD laptops to clear out.

I think it’s a good strategy - by being very predictable and derivative about everything like the naming and logos, Sony’s doing a seemingly deliberate opposite of whatever the hell Microsoft is doing with its XBox One Something X branding where you can’t even tell it’s new console unless you’re a gaming nerd.

Lawl at people who expected an instant fix. This is for a product from a division they discontinued two years ago and laid off most of the staff. It hasn’t had a firmware update for well over a year.

It’s still very relevant, I had to deal with this shit just last month. It doesn’t really matter why they suck as long as every AMD laptop work buys is terrible and I have to send it back and tell them to give us an Intel instead because I can’t trust them to pick a decent AMD.

I’m really happy about this because I generally like AMD, but the AMD laptops we’ve mistakenly gotten at work in the past couple years, and recently (guy who bought them didn’t know) have been hot garbage.
