which means the "about us" is probably actually accurate, if a little indirect, because the services they offer are ESG/DIE bullshit

better to just use a nekomata. it's pretty good with uncharged shots now


the basic grad sniper rifle sucks now


something dumb I've noticed in a couple games now is how enemies will refer to me by the correct pronouns before they actually see me in combat

like, I hack or stealth kill one of a group of enemies, and my character is female, and the survivors when alerted say "she's over there" and they never get it wrong

correct

there was a cute-in-the-right-light white-ish girl at the beginning but she died like 2 minutes after being introduced


almost every human character in jedi survivor is a brown woman of some description

comical really


I like the game but one of the complaints people have that's pretty valid IMO is you shouldn't be restrained from doing things that are going to have major negative consequences

you should be able to kill anybody, loot anybody, blow anything up

and if it breaks quests, even the main quest, tough shit. if it means every cop or every member of a gang is permanently hostile and tries to kill you on sight, tough shit


rarely the case

and even then, I should be able to blow it up with a hack if I want. and thereby fail the quest, and have to live with it or load a save


turret just spent an entire fight shooting at johnny silverhand


I see this fuckin car full of enemies and I want to hack it but nah it's blocked

every time


what's the point of vehicle hacking if every time I want to use it I'm not allowed to because the hacking is blocked

this kind of "we need to preserve the encounter by disabling your abilities if they can trivialize it" stuff is crap modern game design


the loot from their bodies the first time around was left on the ground in those little baggies too, after their bodies despawned and they respawned alive. so at least I got double loot from the encounter

2.1 patch to fix all these dumb bugs when


*what the fuck* I just had an entire encounter worth of enemies respawn after doing a hack

four animals, took them down with headshots and then hacked the last remaining "enemy", a turret. as soon as the hack was uploaded all the animals were back on their feet in their original locations and I was in combat


I don't know what happens after the fight in 2.0 but before he and his entire gang always attacked me after I won and I killed them

that may not have happened if the rifle wasn't included in the original bet, but I always chose the rifle option


and yes, I have tier 5 gorilla arms

but that doesn't help with these checks. only opening doors and stuff


I've had it before, I still want it


it's pretty obvious there's some half baked dynamic skill check shit in the game now

did anybody play test this? because this is fucking stupid

nostr:note1w8x6txl79h2qha38zngmk4vl63myf0wv0ugjtdkd7auw4p4pjygseade8c

part of the reason you still have energy to waste on being all mopey and shit is because things aren't actually that bad for you yet

wait until life strips you down to the bones and you give up all your dreams because you can't imagine how you would ever achieve them from such a deep hole


Which will be promptly muted.


Hey young guys, stop being so fucking angsty and bitter. I DON'T CARE if life has been kicking you in the balls, dwelling on it just makes it worse and screws with your mind. Raise your head and work toward something positive.


You don't need to solve the problems for your whole generation. You need to solve your problems for you.


I don't think canned routines are bad, because then you just need to figure out how to put them together. that's not that unlike what humans do, right? muscle memory, sure we have to figure shit out on the fly but we also rely on a lot of "canned routines" ourselves

the notion that a robot *should be* trained entirely from a data set is retarded


the video I saw about this claimed no canned routines

which is either bullshit, or a truth that covers for the robot actually just being controlled by a human, which is worse


who is that, eric prince maybe?

the way they handled the cere/trilla thing at the end of fallen order was about the worst possible choice

cere had to die. trilla could live or die, I'd prefer she lived but either works. having trilla die and cere live is a trash ending, because cal didn't lose anything and cere didn't really redeem herself. they just... got away clean

modern writers are fuckin pussies

>I feel the "no political solution," trope is tactical nihilism for people who don't want to actually organize.

The point is to break the delusion that voting is going to change anything and get people to spend their time and energy on something that might actually yield a result.


the air force has been talking about how they're running out of bombs for like 8 years and AFAIK the problem hasn't been resolved


abusing the AI isn't what I'm talking about


did they ban 80% receivers yet


the core problem, even if scientists are being totally honest, is the scientific method pretends to be all-encompassing, the be-all-end-all explainer. but there's a lot of stuff there's no way to apply it to, whether it's because you literally cannot test your hypothesis or because it's just not practical

and when "science" is the religion that's supposed to explain everything, we end up with a lot of things that people have known for millennia being tossed out because "no scientific evidence for X" becomes synonymous with "X is false"


indeed


it's going to be some negress I bet


could go for some cheesecake


well those numbers are ridiculous, a japanese econobox is going to be under $3000 a year including gas and insurance


they nerfed the hell out of most of the stealth/alternate route mechanics

I like a lot of the changes they made but there are a few things that just suck. optical camo is trash now, for example


they really fucked stealth in general in cyberpunk 2077


finally found a kyubi and it's comically weak

I don't know if they changed it, it was already severely underpowered, but several of the semiauto pistols do *a lot* more damage per shot


I don't think the problem is solvable

writing good software consistently is simply beyond the capabilities of humanity


yep

and you still have the same amount of area to get heat back out

wouldn't need to do this if we weren't wasting 99.99% of our processing power with bad software


they do, individually, all else being equal


the only iphone I had was the 4S and I liked it, but it quickly became unusable with updates

I am glad I didn't get sucked into the ecosystem. but I never really found smartphones and tablets useful, I leave my phone off most of the time and all I do with my tablet is read ebooks on it. it's been in airplane mode for like 3 years straight

is that the guy from the dark souls dlc


I remember that but I don't remember what state it was in


I'm not worried about that


they need to be directed and controlled, that seems plain. the nogs might spontaneously loot local stores but it was only when out of town agitators came in to try to stir them up and direct them that the riots were targeted at all

I don't think the agitators are very keen on going after the suburbs or small towns because when they tried they found the streets lined with armed white men watching them. a few times they were simply blocked from entering neighborhoods by armed men


I have two places to go

but it would still take very extreme circumstances for me to leave. the most likely thing would be a major infrastructure failure I couldn't weather, like water, gas, or electric turning off in winter, staying off for weeks, and there being no word as to when it would come back on


during the summer of peace I was paying close attention and while there was plenty of stuff in the city and the city totally caved to antifa, the criminality only extended like one highway exit out of the city. there were some hijackings and armed robberies within a mile of the highway itself but nothing made it into the suburbs


I don't live close enough to the city for that to happen without getting days or weeks of notice that shit is going down


these people like to fantasize about living out a movie scenario

they think they're going to be in the zombie apocalypse when they're 10000x more likely to face the city water turning off and not coming back on for six months

sure, because governments of industrializing countries wanted to guarantee themselves a supply of factory workers. that's what the prussian model is designed to produce, literally

but before then, schooling was available to the masses (for a fee, perhaps, but not always) and it was in the individual's interest to learn some stuff


not really true in the west. "public education" has been a thing for a couple thousand years in various forms, just not the prussian model we know now

even well into the 20th century paper wasn't particularly cheap. it used to be somewhat common, if you sent someone a letter, to send them paper to reply with as well as a courtesy. also common to fold the letter into its own "envelope" to save paper, and this stuff I'm talking about was being practiced as recently as a century ago

done with mona lisa overdrive

pretty good. I liked count zero better

if I'm going to criticize anything it's that there were several points when I wanted the story to just slow down and let me see more of what was happening, to stop being so terse

this might not make sense but the story -- at least at any given point -- seemed like it was going a set tempo. the tempo wasn't constant throughout the book, but within a scene, it was like a metronome was ticking and the story was keeping time, not speeding up and not slowing down as needed

that was occasionally effective since it could give the impression of chaos, but more often it felt rushed

mona lisa overdrive is a bit of a step down in quality from count zero, in part because even though the structure is the same -- with three basic plot threads and the POV changing each chapter -- this time he's doing a poor job signaling *which* thread the new chapter is

I can see what he's going for but come on dude be more explicit, I'm not reading this book with a fucking spreadsheet of minor characters open so when you mention the first name of a character mentioned once nine chapters ago as the signal, *I don't know who that is*

what's a matt christman


read the epub standard sometime, it's a very simple problem and the standard is enormous because it supports every deranged edge case anyone ever dreamed up


that's the core of the problem, you don't get to pick what you support, all the assholes running websites deploy giant piles of shit and expect you to support them

it's why modern standards are so terrible, you get like 3-5 big companies all doing their own thing for awhile and then when it comes time to write a "standard" it's just all of their shit mashed together


every """"credential helper"""" more complicated than a fuckin dumb password vault is a shitpile that just makes things worse

I would rather be prompted for a password or token or whatever every single time than have some retarded piece of shit """""""helper""""""" storing things invisibly under the hood with no option to change them per operation. have these dumb motherfuckers never heard of needing to log into multiple accounts?

the marines theoretically have certain warfighting specialties like ship boarding and amphibious assault but from a general ground war perspective they're not as capable as army units. mostly for logistical reasons

in general I doubt there's any significant difference in quality of troops between the branches. which one you pick depends on what you want to do, e.g. when I was enlisting, if I had gone into the marines they would've shoved me in some gay computer nerd job and I wanted to be infantry. the army guaranteed me infantry, so I chose the army

When someone has decided they're going to find a way to go to war with you, especially someone like FDR, they're going to find a way.

It's silly to pretend that Germany could've threaded that needle and indulging the thought yields the wrong lesson.


when the US decides it's time to enter the war in ukraine officially they'll probably sink a destroyer in the mediterranean and say a russian sub did it


If so, he's got a real problem with the whole "everybody I hate is a nazi" rhetoric in Russia


USS Maine
Lusitania
Pearl Harbor
USS Liberty
USS Cole

idk bros I think there might be a pattern here


:02shrug: The longer Putin refuses to recognize his real enemies, the more he puts his nation at risk.


None of that mattered. FDR et al. would've manufactured a casus belli if one wasn't provided to them. Lusitania 2, perhaps.


They have a pretty thin playbook, yeah.


I don't think another leader in Germany would've substantially changed things. Details of the war might have been different but Germany still would've lost, and still would've suffered horrible treatment by the Allies post-war.

What needed to change was American leadership. But international jewry was busy assassinating populists like Huey Long to make sure that didn't happen.


If the US hadn't been backing everyone with unprecedented material support, followed by direct involvement in the war, Germany would've won and the world would be a much better place today.

Hitler wasn't trying to conquer and absorb all that territory, he was trying to briefly defeat them and find peace. He tried to make peace with Britain like a dozen times.

Waiting for the Soviets to attack would've been absolutely insane. You don't wait for the enemy to attack on their terms, you spoil their attack by striking first. The fact that the Soviets were planning to attack Germany is why they had so much trouble when Germany attacked them first: their disposition of forces was all wrong for defense of their own territory.

There are a lot of parallels between Russia's position now and Germany's position back then, including the fact that Ukraine was planning to attack the eastern oblasts and Russia preempted them. And while Russia is in pretty good shape so far -- contrary to the popular narrative in the west -- it's not out of the question that they'll end up being destroyed just as Germany was. Certainly that's what the western elites want, but it really depends on whether or not the west decides a nuclear war is acceptable.


I don't think Hitler was a strategic genius but Germany didn't lose because of his bad decisions. Germany lost because the entire western world conspired to destroy it.


Stalin was absolutely planning on betraying Germany.

And how was Hitler to know the US would ship infinity weapons and vehicles to the Soviets no strings attached? The Soviets would've been toast without that support, whatever gay story the Russians tell themselves about it today.


hitler didn't choose to go to war with everyone, everyone chose to go to war with germany years before the first tank crossed a border

I mean specifically a percent cut instead of a flat fee


well that's certainly true


the problem with that is if a free to play game is monetized you can still take a cut of revenue, doesn't have to be directly from sales. and if the game isn't monetized you can't squeeze blood from a stone


I don't like that explanation because single digit percents can be a lot more lucrative than flat fees and are much less intuitive

the only way the flat fee thing is explained by greed is if they were planning on outright fraud, charging people for a lot more installs than they actually had. which is possible but pretty dumb


is this the MBA equivalent of an education major having to come up with a "novel idea" and all the good ideas are taken so they're stuck with retard options


why didn't unity just do a percent of revenue after X income scheme like unreal

for one thing people have a harder time with percents than "I need to pay you a quarter every time someone installs my game"

I never expected trump to deliver on *that* campaign promise, what a guy


misplaced effort, and a drive leftover from grade school indoctrination

getting "good grades" isn't free, it has an opportunity cost. what *aren't* people achieving because they're spending a bunch of extra time turning a low effort B- into a high effort A?


I say situational for various reasons but mainly because of who they were fighting

try this against a competent enemy and you're just going to die. you don't want to be broadcasting HERE I AM HERE I AM to everyone in a 5 mile radius, and a competent enemy knows the difference between cover and concealment so it wouldn't work anyway


it's interesting but very situational

eh if you have a specific reason for needing excellent grades, like grad school admissions, that's one thing

otherwise Cs get degrees and it's foolish to spend a huge amount of time and effort chasing "good grades" that nobody else will care at all about

I'll have you know I've led the Vikings to victory over 100 times in age of empires II


my unit wasn't some prestigious household name unit but it was full of guys with airborne wings who joined with option 40 (ranger) contracts, only there was no room for them in the 75th whether they were good enough or not, so they ended up in a line unit

they were extremely high quality soldiers and the army had no idea what to do with them. so they threw them away with deployment and mission tempos that burned them out and resulted in lots of career-ending knee/hip injuries

now the army is crying about not having soldiers, to which I just say lolmao


it's not the unit, it's the timing

the first group all joined during peacetime. desert storm lasted like 5 minutes, it's unlikely any of them joined because of or during that little war

post-9/11 soldiers were a different breed, at least for awhile. they were guys who joined knowing they were going to go to war, and they wanted to see action. they weren't afraid of fighting, they wanted to fight and would've been disappointed if they didn't see action

the way the US military operates, by design or not, there's little opportunity for any kind of long term extra-military organization to emerge among veterans. active duty units and unit leadership are constantly being mixed up and when you get out and go home, you're unlikely to be anywhere near any of the people you actually formed bonds with

dotcom crash 2.0 I guess


don't expect anything good to happen in the web space

there isn't a lack of people trying to solve problems, there's a vast overabundance of them and so there's a ton of tech churn. I learned web development 9 years ago and literally nothing I learned back then is still talked about now, despite still being perfectly functional and useful. there has been several generations of hot new things since then


and there is at least one crypto single sign on already

macobserver.com/news/first-crypto-single-sign-on/


there are lots of competing single sign on schemes and website owners have to opt into them, which takes developer time, and they're only going to support a handful of different schemes. some sites aren't going to support single sign on at all for various reasons

so it ends up being more like the streaming platform problem where instead of having one convenient login you still need a bunch of them, and at that point why bother with it at all? just use a password manager

with modern earthmoving equipment a functional country could build a new dry dock in a matter of months, let alone repair an existing one. depending on the damage the downtime might only be a few days

I say "a functional country" because this is exactly the sort of thing *we* can't do anymore, but russia and china can. here, between vultures fighting over the contract, environmental bullshit, miles of red tape and general incompetence it really would take a decade to fix/replace a dry dock if it was attacked

you can load a background image right into aseprite, scaled to your pixel canvas, so it's a lot like just tracing, but you can pick out the important details to emphasize


no, I've dabbled a little with aseprite (using an existing image as the base) and was pleased with the results but that's a lot better than I can do

I saw a few studios say they're delaying new features until they can port their game to a new engine :02laugh:


I don't really see them in the same niche; I like the ESP32 as a general purpose, powerful, not-on-batteries option, while ST gives me lots of options so I can find a microcontroller that fits the specific project needs well without a bunch of extra stuff to worry about turning off.

In general I think you have a lot more control with STM32 than you do with ESP32, not just in picking your parts but in fine control of the microcontroller. But, I'm not an expert in either, I just fool around.


ordered an esp32-c3 which has a risc-v processor and I'm telling myself I'll use it to do a project in risc-v assembly but it'll actually just sit on my desk until next year

the thresholds are $200k revenue and 200,000 total installs

$200k revenue is like a two man shop and 200k installs is 2-3 modest successes, or one game that does pretty well

I turned quick boot off and now it says F1 to enter bios and works properly :02shrug:


this is used so I'm assuming it's just configured all fucky

perfect condition though, except the clit mouse this thing looks like it was never used. 4K screen too, it's really nice


thinkpad p51

maybe it's possible to get into the BIOS during boot but I tried like 8 times and it didn't work. only way I could do it was by shift clicking restart in windows, then going through a multi-layer menu, then it restarted, and I was able to just press enter to get into a menu that would then let me choose to go into BIOS

also windows doesn't seem to want to ever actually shut down, it will *seem* to shut down but then boots as soon as I open the lid

hopefully this thing is just configured to be gay and it's not mandatory


I'm trying to enter bios so I can friggin enable the touchpad on this laptop

it is not letting me

soon I discover that the expected way to enter bios is from *within windows* by shift clicking the restart option

pressing F1 (the correct key) during boot isn't working because it's not even reading my keypresses before starting windows

this is considered "normal"

imagine that a first person game has a "get in a car and drive in 3rd person" mechanic

every time you do that, the camera has to shift around. but one time, some weird physics bug happens and the camera ends up pointing 90 degrees left when you get in a car

and then forevermore on that save, the camera points left when you get in a car. you can fix it by reloading a previous save before the bug happened and then avoiding the bug, but nothing else will fix it, and the bug doesn't exist in other save files, and won't exist in a new game if you start one

that's the sort of thing I'm talking about


either the interviewer was an idiot, or the interviewee misunderstood what he was being asked to do, or both


it's a silicon valley culture thing, companies that want to pretend they're the next big thing like that crap. like how they used to ask brain teasers because that's what microsoft did

there's also an aspect of hazing, people think because they had interviews like that (and, I'm sure, didn't like it) they should also inflict it on other people

one of the things I find disturbing about modern AAA games, where "modern" means "made in the last 15 years", is how gameplay mechanic bugs will persist within a save

I know I've talked about this before, awhile back. but think about what that must mean! the gameplay mechanics are somehow hooked into save state, and if the state gets screwed up, mechanics change. absolute madness


restarted the game and it was still messed up

took the reflex sight off to try irons, they worked fine, put the reflex sight back on, now it's working properly
