You may be on to something. However, I think the biggest thing that detracts from many beloved franchises today is a design philosophy where everyone is hell bent on streamlining out all of the gameplay to the point where the gameplay isn&#

X-Com Apocalypse is one of my favorite games. I can't stand the new ones. They have shiny graphics (which I generally like in most games) but they have streamlined stuff to the point where it doesn't even remotely feel like the sa

TempleOS's HolyC might qualify. IMO TempleOS is potentially the greatest work of outsider art in the history of the world.

If you take another look at the last half of my comment its essentially what you said, when they have their shit together its better live. I don't think most musicians fall into that category. At least most rock/metal/bluegra

I'm glad the 3080 is launching first so I can try getting one of those and if they are sold out I have time to think about whether I want to try dropping more than twice as much on a 3090 instead.

Yea I think if you run the calculations and you have room you should be good if your PSU is just slightly above the power requirements. If you run an unusual amount of memory or HDDs/etc, you might want to calculate everything manually

People are speculating that the 2x numbers come from RTX and/or DLSS, but they also doubled the number of CUDA cores so its possible its going to be an actual raw performance gain. I think its wise to be skeptical until independant ben

3080 ti comes later. They said at the presentation the 3090 is the new Titan so its actually a massive price drop. The 3080 TI will probably be out next year if they follow typical patterns and it will have slightly better gaming performanc

Allegedly beats the 2080 TI, not just the regular one.

I'm not starting off on the wrong foot. I started off fully aware that the point of Pollack's action painting wasn't technical ability. I only mentioned it because there are lots of people in this thread who actually seem to

Some of Twombly's work is aesthetically pleasing and well composed, but some of them could have easily been a page of doodles ripped out of any middle schooler's notebook, like the $800,000 "Murder of Olefernes". Overall

Its disappointing to me how this community responds to Jackson Pollack. Most of the Pollack supporter's comments seem to assume that if a person doesn't think he's a genius of incredible technical ability, then that means tha

I'm using the 5x6 layout. For me it seems like the fewest amount of keys (64) I can drop to without having to use layers. I pretty much only use layers for the function keys.

I realized I might have worded the above in a confusing way. You may have already understood in spite of that just in case there are 2 primary families of Dactyl keyboards, the Dactyl, and the Dactyl Manuform. The Manuform version has the b

What do you use now? The Dactyl was partly modeled after the Kinesis. It has the key wells and a curved thumb cluster. Still, the thumb cluster isn't perfect and its hard for most people to reach all of the keys. However, the Dactyl Ma

The Kinesis is based on sound research. The Maltrons have a lot of keys positioned in ways that add nothing to ergonomics. Maltron also makes the claim that you can type 80 wpm with their 1 handed keyboard but there seems to be no publicly

Nothing IMO, just mentioned that some people have challenged the idea that his vocal range is 6.5 octaves because of it. I didn't say I agree with them.

Mike Patton from Faith No More/Mr. Bungle/Tomahawk supposedly has a range of 6.5 octaves, but some people say it doesn't count because it includes screaming. He does a lot of weird stuff but he's one of my favorite vocal
