Don’t postpone joy.

That is a poignant yet unfortunate message.

They might be past their best by date…

I find that when I’m looking for very specific things Google is still king but DDG is much better for broad strokes.

Mad creepy title dude.

I really do love the format. Everyone slept on it and its like 4k streaming no-hiccups essentially. Every frame is rendered. Action is fast.

I might just go back to blu-ray at this point. HBO still has my money because they generally seem to give a shit about quality at least.

StableDiff is really good at making Ghibli images, or at least reference points.

I catch it every so often but I’m not really missing anything anymore. Kinda like reaching for a newspaper for more takes on a story.

Hey it’s better than the whiskey habit I picked up from Mad Men haha.

BOTW/TOTK Zelda games are the only ones that get it right. It’s a core game mechanic and they give you enough weapons to have fun with it.

Honestly if they are close enough to what you like it can be manageable. A critic that knows enough about themselves to understand why people like things they don’t they can be very worthwhile.

Some critics notably just don’t like action movies. An action movie B for them is probably a solid A for most.

Also for as much hate as it gets, places like Pitchfork where critics actually speak their mind are important.

I’m thinking the world just needs more one-off prolific critics that really give you how they feel about things. It’s funny that IGN is talking here, as they are very well known for being paid off and using the 70-100 rating scale so they don’t piss anyone off.

Bread has whooped my ass too. I am not having fun.

If you want to completely crush stuff like Cyberpunk and Starfield you could bother. The only reason I run what I do is that I need a workhorse and make money with my PC too.

I general I recommend the “Fast Motorcycle” principle for PC building. You can spend extra money for the “Fast Car” or Luxury Car” or even ball out for the “Fast Luxury Car”.

Depending on the task, a fast motorcycle will get you there quicker than other builds. When building for a gaming PC, just get basic cores with high clocks and spend a bit of extra money on a step up graphics cards.

I could build a pretty shredding PC for about ~$800 right now.

Back to your point, a $2k PC is basically a fast luxury car. I could have multiple adobe products open simultaneously, or do YouTube at the same time as Satisfactory or Cities Skylines. It’s a nice to have but if you aren’t doing heavy simultaneous tasks it’s not worth the money.

I don’t give a care about anything over 60 unless I’m playing competitive shooters and at that point my graphics are at a minimum. A 1070ti was killing it for me at 1440p 144hz in Apex and even Cyberpunk was running pretty clean.

It’s a pure luxury to get anything over 60 in modern single player games. Tears of the Kingdom does have frame drops, but the gameplay is so good I don’t care.

It’ll be like when everyone started using Google maps and now they just drive 40 mph through the neighborhoods instead of waiting an extra minute on a major road.

I have a few different drives that I mirror my documents folder to, then upload the most important stuff to cloud and thumb drive too.

I used to do that with Reddit too… followed would be stuff I really personally want to see and I’d check All if I didn’t get enough.

I think one of the problems here is just a litany of cross posts.

You made me really interested in this concept so I asked GPT-4 what the furthest word away from the word “vectorization” would be.

Interesting game! If we’re aiming for a word that’s conceptually, contextually, and semantically distant from “vectorization,” I’d pick “marshmallow.” While “vectorization” pertains to complex computational processes and mathematics, “marshmallow” is a soft, sweet confectionery. They’re quite far apart in terms of their typical contexts and meanings.

It honestly never ceases to surprise me. I’m gonna play around with some more. I do really like the idea that it’s essentially a word calculator.

For memory Samsung all day. Micro/SD cards etc the big camera manufacturers source solid stuff if you aren’t a fan of Samsung.

If you’re talking about readers I don’t think anyone does anything particularly well. Anker might be my preferred brand though. Lots of companies rip them off.

I don’t actually think that specific dude did a bunch of egregious stuff while inside. I think I saw a suggested of about 3-5 years. I do want all of these dudes to get more punishment, but I think he mainly just became a visual focal point in the insurrection.
