“The objective profile of the United States may be traced throughout Disneyland, even down to the morphology of individuals and the crowd. All its values are exalted here, in miniature and comic-strip form, embalmed and pacified. Whence the possibility of an ideological analysis of Disneyland: digest of the American…

Kind of a piddling response from BioWare, no? I suppose they can’t really *do* anything, but the tautological hand-waving is illusory politics at most. I mean, despite this being “never acceptable,” they are indeed accepting it. These churls will no doubt get the game and play it. BioWare will take their money.…

How in the hell has this not been starred yet?

I knew a guy who got Quake working on his digital Japanese toilet. To rocket jump, you just had to... ah, never mind.

I cannot believe that comedy theoretics are being discussed so authoritatively in a thread that refers to goddamn “The Producers” by goddamn Mel Brooks as “some comedic musical bit about Nazis.” You would think that some prerequisite knowledge would be necessary, or at least helpful, in so objectively declaiming the…

Yup. Generally speaking:

LOL. I have made this mistake, with GodWeenSatan, no less. It’s pretty mortifying to be the only one in the room who doesn’t obviously loathe the music playing — and you still can’t help crying from laughter at it. I mean, just totally hostile reactions from the other people. Still worth it.

There is still one that has practically everything, usually in Blu-ray demuxes that are way better than any streaming platform, and it’s not even private. Get in while the getting’s good, though, because they’re in massive international legal trouble now, too. I won’t say the name because obviously I’m not a…

Snooker? I hardly know her!

His name is Robert Paulson?

So he’s using the insurance math bit from Fight Club — the part that was supposed to most exemplify Jack’s descent into a hollowed half-light of a life, that of a barely functional mite in an inhuman hellscape of positivistic hostility — in support of his argument? Unironically? Really!?

I know, right? Also, when are they finally gonna put down that damn Cloverfield monster?

“I didn’t watch this video, as the description was clear enough, and I don’t really care to see it.”

Yeah, it’s a co-brand with Coke called the Final Fanta Tea set.

Seriously, what exactly is this ‘HD upscaling’ they claim? I doubt they’re using a pixel-art filter like HQ4x (changes the art style too much), so they’re probably just pumping it through a bicubic upscaler — the exact same thing your TV would do anyway, if you plugged an actual NES into it through an HDMI converter.…

I went through a similar experience with a film production, forever on the brink of being fully financed, that similarly plunged me into physical and mental health issues that I’m still dealing with. I’m convinced post-traumatic production syndrome will be a classifiable condition within a few years.

What is this, 2003? GPU video FX processing, transcoding, color correction, rendering and encoding via CUDA or OpenCL are industry standard now. It’s been possible in some NLEs via DXVA2 for even longer. Adobe Premiere has supported multiadapter acceleration for years (far before DX12 enabled it for games), and…

Jeez. I also did not know this, and I used to speedrun DK1 (got it down to 31 minutes, though obviously this would’ve helped a lot).

Why discriminate? Plenty of Gen-Xers and Boomers are bumble-shuffling around, too.

Uh, just think about Tails and *I*!? Sonic, your ‘90s rude ‘tude is refreshing, but your grammar here is both incorrect and pompous. That Mighty No. 9 slam, though, is both legendary and grammar-Nazi-approved.
