It's not a technical limitation though, which is the thrust of the convo regarding Doom's lack of ray tracing or other fancy effects. Doom was low budget as well but still hired artists. As far as I'm concerned, making a game

Idk, considering it's my job and I've build dozens if not 100. Parent is doing it wrong. Windows doesn't just randomly wipe the bootloader/UEFI, sorry. Dollars to doughnuts, parent was fiddling around and broke it.

To be honest I hate modern pixel art games because the sprites can rotate and move around but not respect a pixelated canvas. I see it as laziness or at the least, a lack of actual art direction.

You can change your lock screen to whatever you want. I don't care what system I'm on, if I wanted to change display settings, I wouldn't search for scaling, I'd search for display settings. I'm failing to see anyth

Sorry, been running dual boot for a decade on many machines and this has never happened to me. It's not Windows Update, it's something else.

Ok, well my sister is a doctor and she got to watch bodies get shoveled out of her hospital for 2 years. Who wins? Did I do it right? Do I win?

Yeah it's weird that a place that has 1000s of people in it at once has different rules than a place with 50. We may never know why that is. Truly, a mystery. An enigma for the ages. Scholars will be working on this for 1000s of years.

Because it's being directly tied to funding. Do well, more funds. Tests are low, less funds. It's completely ass backwards. Teachers aren't afraid of being graded, the issue is what's being done with that information.

Nah that's bullshit. "Too many great minds have been wasted programming UIs." Both quotes are tongue in cheek, you're not supposed to take them seriously. If you're good at something, fuckin do it. Seeing a lot of c

Yes as it takes me approximately 5 minutes to earn that money.

Right, throw out seniors and households below the poverty line and I bet that number shoots to like 85%. The avg/median person very likely had a PC in 97.

If you have the laptop, you have the laptop. Breaking it into pieces doesn't add any security. If you don't have the laptop and are attacking remotely, it's no different than if it weren't physically segregated, whatever

My experiences are similar, though I lived in Packer country. I was very middle/lower middle class, and by 96, I would say most homes had PCs and started seeing some AOL installs, and by 2000 or so, most also had internet. Late 80s how

I just run Windows in a VM if I need to do things with Office that I can't do with the Office for the web products, which isn't very often.

And if you spent your life in poverty trying to be an artist, you might think "would have been nice to not have been scraping by my whole life". I did the passion project thing for 15 years. Much happier with a stable income and n

He's right though. Home PCs exploded in the early 90s. He said he was in DC. What he's saying is just not accurate at all. I grew up in a small Midwest town and tons of people had computers in the early 90s. Most people had a PC a

In other words, you know very little, if not, nothing, about construction. Is that correct?

I'm going to buy an extra coffee today just for you.

Yeah, I don't see an image either. I imagine one. I can't stare at a piece of paper and trace what I see. That's not what people mean.

No, that's a hallucination.

by alar44 5y ago
Right. This is what people are talking about when they say they can imagine how someone looks.

by alar44 5y ago
I'm still all in on these people thinking imagining something is a hallucination. There's no way someone can't picture their mom in their head. Yeah, it doesn't overlay my visual field, and that doesn't mean I can d

A sleeper with Pis? Any actual laptop will kick the shit out of as many Pis as you can fit in there.

Idk. Try living in a small town with no entertainment or food other than burgers and wings. It's literally hell.

Feeling fulfilled doesn't pay the bills, unfortunately.

I would say for the most part, that's how all cars were up until the 90s. Post 2000 everything is computerized and there's not a ton a shade tree mechanic can do beyond swapping out parts.

Can someone explain why the biggest city in the US should have rent prices the same as a small town? $3300/mo for a 3 br in NYC sounds like an absolute steal. I pay $1600/mo in a nowhere city for 3 br. Seems about right to me. Dem

Not like this. Yeah, we had different tastes in media, but TikTok is to video as radio commercials are to music. It's like you guys are just watching commercials nonstop. It's nearly devoid of actual content.

Get off it. Asking an app to serve you content isn't giving up privacy. Get some fucking perspective.
