Either a troll, a bot, or both.

Or potential both or one of those ... intentionally used as a sock puppet to facilitate basically insider trading... or state sponsered chaos generation agent.

??????

I... normally would have thought that... after the actual literal fake news posted by this account recently caused a massive stock swing upward... than then basically undid itseld after several news agencies revealed oh shit this source is fake maybe we should not have just reported it as fact...

I would nornally think people would avoid this account after that.

But uh, no, apparently not, apparently everyone is a moron.

Ok so I haven't used much Spanish since middle school but...

¿Esto es un baño?

Lo siento, no hablo español.

... Are those the correct forms?

... I recently randomed across 'Spawn Wave' on youtube.

... This guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, and I am angry I fell for his clickbait.

'The Switch 2 is more powerful than we thought' is the name of his video.

Foolish, stupid, gullible me... assumed he had some kind of... actually new, concrete information.

Fucking, nope. He manages to spend about 5 minutes reading a spec sheet that's been all over the internet for over 48 hrs now, and he... he opens with 'how can the Switch 2 even run these games?'

... then proceeds to vaguely talk about how chips have gotten more powerful.

... The Switch 2 uses the T239 Nvidia APU. This has been... fairly widely reported on and speculated on for almost 2 years now.

This guy just reads off of these old articles and the official, more vague spec sheet... spending 30 seconds saying each feature is super cool and awesome, somehow without actually explaining... what that feature is, how it works, how its different than some other older tech, what kind of performance would be reasonable to expect...

Nope, new thing is new and cool and neat and better than old thing, technobabble buzzword salad of terms and figures he barely understands.

He describes real time ray tracing as hitting your framerate hard, but we don't know what game is going to use it on the Switch 2.

He then jumps to next next bullet point, DLSS... totally neglects to mention that DLSS is the frame upscaling solution that counteracts the frame rate loss from real time ray tracing... and then says 'people have been questioning if hands on events with the Switch 2 actually show games with DLSS.'

Ok, 5 minutes into this 15 minute vid, he has said... nothing.

'Here's the CPU and GPU frequencies, whatever'

facepalm

'Whoah hey look, GSYNC, that means developers will be able to use VRR and thats good because devs will just know that and be able to design with that feature in mind'

gsync has existed for over a decade and basically every pc monitor has supported gsync, or fsync, or both, for almost that long... and console game devs knowing the features of the consoles they are developing for / porting to has... been the case since consoles existed

'Maybe it'll be 40 frame per second!'

completely baseless speculation

'This one website has been tracking the T239 that had updates and linux distros and stuff'

step aside hannah montana linux and redstar, im switching over to the Nvidia T239 distro

'these frequency specs are just estimates, and even if its off by a single megahertz, its wrong'

facepalm, again

... ok now we are 9 minutes in...

'Is the Switch 2 more powerful than the PS4? Yes, its pretty straightforward I think.'

he says, after giving the most vague and useless breakdown of tech specs i have ever heard

... ok, now its time to spend the rest of the video showing trailer footage for Cyberpunk 2077 and talk about how it will be on the Switch 2.

...

This... fucking guy... spent the early half of his video... having no clue whether or not any games on the Switch 2 would make use of Real Time Raytracing... and DLSS.

... CP77 was basically the most prominent flagship debut of these Nvidia capabilities.

He compares the PS5 handling of cp77 to... his random guess of the Switch 2's handling of cp77... and says maybe it'll be cut down from 60fps to 30 or 40, but it'll make use of variable refresh rate.

... what? the... the ps5... renders ... on your... your tv... the switch 2 vrr ... refers only to the Switch 2's built in display... ???????

I guess I hope you already have a tv you bought in the last 2 or 3 years in your living room, otherwise you're looking at upwards of $1500 for a new living room sized TV, Switch 2 fans!

But hey its fine, its not like anyone is fretting over the Switch 2's price point or anything.

... Oh also basically no TVs that support VRR ... go below 48 or 40 hz. So... uh... that's gonna be quite a lot of upscaling and lowered graphics settings to run at a minimum of 40 or 48 hz/fps ... at 4k.

... Anyway, I just tuned my graphics settings for CP77, after installing decky frame gen and cryoutils, and I'm getting an average of 60 fps on my Deck in the benchmark, settings mosty high and medium, a few on ultra, a few low or off, quality mode for FSR 3.1 and it's framgen, at the Deck's 1280 x 800.

Ah but shucks, no ray tracing =(

I wonder if Switch 2 CP77... will even have a settings menu rofl.

Misleading and overly jocular.

This is not a normal kind of human interaction, on the girl's part.

It very strongly indicates she is a spoiled brat, a narcissist.

If you think this kind of interaction is normal... well I see two possible explanations:

You are also a narcissist and that's why you think this is normal.

OR

You are surrounded by narcissists who have gaslit you into thinking this is normal, and you haven't had too many regular interactions with non narcissists.

Also, I don't see anywhere near as many total upvotes for 'she's into you dude, frost that cupcake!' as I do for 'this is the biggest red flag imaginable, let me write a short essay explaining why'

In fact, yeah, I don't see a single comment advocating the anon dive into her... affairs, over this.

There is a very fitting song for this.

Garbage - Stupid Girl

Stupid Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You pretend you're high

Pretend you're bored

Pretend you're anything

Just to be adored

And what you need

Is what you get

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in faith

Don't believe in anything

That you can't break

[Chorus]

You stupid girl (Ah)

You stupid girl (Ah)

All you had, you wasted (Ah)

All you had, you wasted (Ah)

[Verse 2]

What drives you on (Drives you on)

Can drive you mad (Drive you mad)

A million lies to sell yourself

Is all you ever had

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in love

Don't believe in hate

Don't believe in anything

That you can't waste

[Chorus]

You stupid girl (Ah)

You stupid girl (Ah)

Can't believe you fake it (Ah)

Can't believe you fake it (Ah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in pain

Don't believe in anyone

That you can't tame

Basically, if this is a representative sample of this girl's personality ...

(huge if there, this is a single 4chan post lol)

... then she is a textbook narcissist, potentially to the point of being diagnosable with NPD if she doesn't grow out of this attitude, get a reality check that actually sinks into the subconscious.

A spoiled, pampered brat whose never been told no, who never gets any real, meaningful interaction or validation, and tries to fill that void with a grandiose self image, absurd overconfidence and privelege.

Angelica from Rugrats.

...And my take here would be the same if the genders/sexes were reversed, or some other combo.

It is pretty not normal for anybody to have that kind of interaction with anybody else, to just boisterously state they could have 'insert random person', then have rando anon just flatly reply 'sorry not interested', ... and then throw a giant hissy fit.

I am seriously hoping this interaction occures between 12 or 14 year olds, but looking at the horror kaleidoscope that is social media these days?

Yeah, could be anybody, any age, at this point.

My experience after graduating from high school in 07 and college in 11 is that uh... no, the vast majority of odd jobs, part time jobs I worked till getting a 'real' job...

No, no, the vast majority of basically low wage workers are still mentally in high school, still acting just as immature, still being childish, rude and bullying people, still constantly seeking to create situations of petty drama, still pressuring people into hazing rituals.

Does not matter how old they are.

I've seen 45 year old men literally 'flex' on younger coworkers to assert dominance, like literally puff themselves up and flex to appear larger, while arguing with or belittling them.

Your advice is generally good advice, but it is far from guaranteed to ensure you will not be surrounded by immature buffoons, and ostracized when you do not partake in their foolishness.

Something vaguely similar but kinda inverted, happened when I was in middle school.

An office assistant, like a TA, but for the main office, was dispatched to deliver a packet of course work papers to the class I was in.

The main office had the main, commercial grade printer in it, and this would have been like... 2004 ish? Computers were basically only in the computer lab, more primitive tech setup.

So anyway, the OA shows up and delivers the coursework to the teacher... and is confused by the complete silence in the room, the lack of anyone doing anything.

He remarked '... Did somebody die or something? Jeez' and was now met with many intense, silent stares... he quickly exited.

Completely unbeknownst to the OA... about 15 minutes prior, our teacher had just recieved an email, took aside one student, talked to him for a few minutes. That student then quickly talked with his friends for about a minute, eyes tearing up, getting several hugs, and then presumably left to the school counselor office.

His one or two grade older sister had just suffered a complete cardiac arrest in PE, out on the track, about 30-45 minutes prior to the email... and died.

I literally had this scenario play out when I was pre-school age, in a day care due to parents having nonsense work schedule, no bus service to pre-school.

It was 'nap time' and I sat in my little floor mat spot... with a book, reading it.

Had multiple staff come over and tell me that 'You can't read, you're lying, you're just flipping the pages to be bothersome.'

... By the time I was in second grade, I read so well and so routinely finished my classwork rapidly, that the school would assign me to 4th and 5th graders who were behind on their reading skills, and we'd sit outside of the classroom in the hallway, and I'd help them read through short kids books, help them pronounce words, define them.
