My Steam Deck arrived yesterday. It includes a Kingston OM3PDP3512B-A01 which has read speeds of up to 2,400Mhz - which means it’s a 2x SSD.

And yes, I ABSOLUTELY notice a SIGNIFICANT difference in load times between my Steam Deck and my friends (several months old). His Steam Deck loads almost as fast as my desktop

Or just canonize the fact that Palpatine force-murdered her. 

Congress already created and empowered the EPA to do exactly this. SCOTUS effectively overruled Congress with this ruling, which is NOT in their power. You cannot invalidate a Constitutional act of congress because you know that the current Congress is unlikely to re-uphold a previous action. That is an stupendously si

I am not a fan of the DoubleFine paper-puppet aesthetic... and it’s definitely not in line with the 80s Saturday Morning Cartoon style of the franchise’s heyday... but I understand a look like that is beyond the means of a game like this. But you know what - I will take any Monkey Island I can get!

All these years later, I still mostly like Contact. The book was very grounded, and that was it’s charm. The movie tonally NAILED the book... but the one thing they irreparably botched was the ending. What we got was so devoid of vision, ambition, and spirit that it retroactively deflated the entire film. It was an ant

Elon Musk says, “Solving Full Self-Driving...is really the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero.”

This. No way I’m taking my kids to a theater... especially with the youngest still not qualifying for vaccination. And heck, even if they did qualify, and even if the pandemic really were over, wrangling kids to a movie theater and getting them to sit quietly for two hours sounds like a hell straight out of Dante’s

Dear god, Musk sounds like one of the most out-of-touch, awful bosses in the world. No wonder Teslas are crashing more and more and autopilot progress has slowed down - the best technical talent isn’t going to put up with this nonsense, not in this market.

From Mayra Flores website...

Just a friendly reminder that the term “tone deaf” is ableist.

Consider options like “out of touch”, “ill advised”, “paradoxical”, or “hypocritical” instead.

Yep. UE5 has completely re-engineered the way open worlds work. In the past, you had to handle level streaming yourself - in UE5, it’s pretty much automagic.

I’ve been spending a lot of time in UE5 lately - just jumping from learning one mind-blowing feature after another. While some of the UE4 workflows and features are missing from UE5, the community has been finding and documenting lots of alternatives that mostly far surpass those in UE4.

UE5 is incredible - why anyone

The Starfield preview gives me the feeling that Star Citizen already more to do than Starfield will ever have. Starfield has some great graphics, but the gameplay looks like the same grind as NMS but with some Fallout 3 style ARPG trappings slapped on, and even less ship gameplay.

It seems obvious that the game has plenty of handcrafted content - and I am not going to poo-poo procedurally generated content.

The instant they showed Freeform I was like “Oh, wow - I had no idea they bought FiftyThree’s Paper and Paste apps!”

As far as I can tell, they didn’t... they just shamelessly copied both and rebranded the combined product as Freeform.

God, when did sci-fi get so wokist? I watch Orville for sci-fi laughs, not elite leftist grandstanding. I guess I need to just go watch Star Trek if it want some old-fashioned spaceship fights instead of woke leftist propaganda!

P.S. Because Poe’s law, this is satire. I figured I would just get it out of the way before

It means women who were actually abused are going to face more public scrutiny when they come forward with abuse accusations. This isn’t merely a double-edged sword, but a twisted nest of barbed wire.

On one hand, all genders can be abuse victims. This is not exclusively a women’s issue. On the other hand, we have not

That’s an awful lot of words dedicated to both attacking a victim and survivor of abuse while simultaneously defending a sociopathic abuser. Do better.

The mountain of evidence demonstrated that Heard is a narcissistic, sociopathic, serial abuser who exploited her position of privilege and her clearly-troubled (ex)spouse for personal gain.

The same should apply to digital spaces. No private entity should ever be forced to allow trespassers that are damaging their business... regardless of whether that is physical or digital trespassing.
