It takes a real class-act to happily play a parody of himself.

He was a true American treasure.

This is the whole idea behind Turing-completeness, isn't it? Any Turing-complete architecture can simulate any other.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/505/

When I was gaming on Windows, the DirectX 12 implementation in every game I tried was kinda garbage.

It usually either would just perform bad in general, or just have really bad input lag.

The first thing I'd try whenever I had problems was switching the renderer to DirectX 11, and that would often fix things.

In fairness, Vulkan implementations have been pretty hit-and-miss too. I think developers still just need to get used to the new execution model.

This also was on Nvidia graphics, which may or may not have had something to do with it.

Despite a rocky launch, I ended up playing a fuckton of Battlefield 4.

And Battlefield 1, while not historically accurate in the slightest, was actually a nice breath of fresh air, and a setting that hasn't been covered nearly as much in popular media as other 20th century wars (with possibly the exception of Korea). It's actually one of my favorites.

Battlefield 5 just felt so... bland by comparison. They tried to change too many systems, and ended up making just a completely milquetoast game. Really disappointing for what should have been a triumphant return to the series' roots.

Battlefield 2042 had no soul whatsoever, and some of the worst designed maps in a Battlefield game I've ever seen.

One of the maps that was available in the beta that I played was literally just a giant fucking field with hardly any cover and a hundred-foot wall for the enemy snipers to stand on top of and pick off attackers one by one. I really wish I could have been in the meeting room when they were workshopping that map, because I wanna know exactly what the fuck they were smoking to think that it would be any fun at all to play.

I'd honestly welcome a return to formula here if it means another game like BF4 or BF1, even if most players don't consider that "classic" Battlefield.

Yeah, but I'm fucking exhausted and tired of being disappointed.

Big mood. Just had the third person tell me, "I'm just not feeling any romantic chemistry" in as many weeks.

Wondering if it's time to give up.

The URL made me think of this:

More like Barracu-DAMN, am I right?

As a guy who's trying dating again, there's something that keeps coming up that kinda bugs me: talking to women who just put in the bare minimum of effort, expect me to carry the conversation and make all the first moves.

I don't give two shits about traditional gender roles and I'm all about subverting them. However, I think if you're in the same boat but still wanna call yourself a "passenger princess" and expect the guy to do everything, you're kind of a hypocrite.

No validation, in the driver or the updater software.

No validation or automated testing on publish.

No staged rollouts.

Just utterly irresponsible all around.

Not once have I encountered a trans person on a dating app who wasn't 100% transparent about it. Some even asked me after matching, "you're aware that I'm trans, right?" just to be sure.

There's no logical reason to falsely pretend to be cis on a dating app to get matches. If someone's cool about it then it's better to know up front, right? And if they're not, then you probably don't want to waste your time on them.

The "justification" for this app is just bigotry, plain and simple. Fuck TERFs.

Being exposed to queer culture doesn't turn you gay, it just tells you that it's an option. That's why conservatives see it as so dangerous.

The children yearn for the mines.
