While I agree with you, most people don’t want to spend the time learning all of this. Furthermore, I had the luck of good financial education and I had to wade through a sea of rubbish just to get to the good bits. But as someone who’s new, how do you learn? That’s the problem. And even if they could learn, how are they going to start saving? Is the supermarket cashier just making ends meet by a hair’s length really going to start saving up thousands and thousands of quid just to be able to see some real returns? Don’t hate the player, hate the game. You have too little money to start making some real returns. And because you have no real returns, you need to work for menial tasks and menial money. And therefore, you cannot start saving up and make some real returns, the cycle is complete. What a nice system that we put our lives inside of.

In all honesty, my retirement plan is to go out with a bang in an act of left-wing extremist terror. We have seen way too little left-wing extremist terror in the past few years.

I have the same addiction, but with voice actors.

No wonder ML text and image generators are so popular with large corporations.

Homophobia makes me so angry, that I want to beat my wives. /s

To add, they will literally show you everything and anything to just keep you hooked on the platform like on Heroin. Slowly but surely it will guide you into some sort of perverted radicalised worldview, No matter which end of the political spectrum. As long as you’re spending preferably the entire day on there and stay highly emotionalised throughout all of it. I think Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and all other types of antisocial media like that are a genuine evil and a detriment to humanity.

The emperor’s clothes are beautiful.

Has that ever helped with massive Windows botnets?

Don’t you like it, bro? I mean, why are all of these people choosing to be poor? Can’t they start a business or something? /s

Good for you!

Pro tip: The best thing would be to have paranoid delusions that can never be confirmed nor denied, preferably by setting up a big long-term master plan that is so long-term that it will outlast the relationship or even you. Since you can neither confirm nor deny your delusions, it will always stay in your mind, thanks to the absurd degree of ambiguity that your world view has, ensuring self-isolating behaviour for a lifetime! /s

The middle finger is for B field. The thumb is reserved for force. The index finger is for current. 🎵

Amen. But in all honesty, TAA has its place for correcting some artifacts, with clouds for example, where blur really doesn’t matter. See the minecraft comment above, that’s interesting.

Edit: typo.

I hear you, but what do you mean by a transitional phase? Transitioning to what? I’m curious.

Yeah, they laid out the bait and got them hook, line and sinker.

Wow, I didn’t know that, that’s genuinely cool.

Well, it’s subtle, but it’s still there in my experience, about 2ms. Which is bad if you’re already at the refresh rate of your monitor and you enable it, you’ll get 2ms of additional input latency, but if you are getting lower fps than your refresh rate, then you can cancel out the effect, because you’re getting more fps and hit your refresh rate. In my experience, because I’m very sensitive to that.

IMO, I dislike them because in my experience they add input latency. But well, horses for courses.

Okay then, but it still works. It is still hard to claim that Half-Life Alyx runs bad or looks bad. I can only judge from my perspective as a customer. Why do we use these weird, wonky, hacky solutions for deferred rendering if the other one can look just as good, run as good, but doesn’t need any of these workarounds?

In my opinion, the fidelity is getting worse than what we had 10 or 20 years ago. Because now we have noise, pop-in, and the temporal smearing because of proprietary TAA and TSA. Example being Payday 3 and this new Justice League or Batman game where you play with the four characters, Which I couldn’t bother to remember, Because everything about the game is way worse than the Arkham Knight game, which almost is 10 years old by now.

Well, I should have clarified by devs, I mean the entire companies, not the individuals. It’s a collective problem, not an individual one.
