Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?
  • It's worse than eating fast food everyday lol

  • New life hack
  • Babe, let's play Stardew Valley IRL like omg

  • Anyone have favorite Final Fantasy characters? (including FFVII)
  • Looks like most people didn't care enough for VIII, huh?

  • Analogue's Nightmare: This FPGA Game Boy is Half the Price
  • What do you use as your controller? I got an Anbernic handheld now but I've always been curious/intrigued by just running them on a phone, I just never quite found any of the control methods quite satisfactory.

  • 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements
  • Weird, the K4's latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

  • 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements
  • Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updates to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

  • I've had more conversations about this than I care to count.
  • Same about how I eat meat lmao

  • Story of Cruz
  • It is about the weapon. If someone wanted to inflict a lot of damage, they would use bombs. That has happened several times in the past but doesn't compare to the number of mass shootings. Why? Because guns are simply just plentiful and easy to get, and too many apologetics keep allowing them to be plentiful. It really is that simple. Yes it doesn't fix society's underlying issues but that is a MUCH harder problem to solve than simply getting rid of (as many) guns (as possible), or at least not just allow so mamy people to own them willy nilly.

    The goal is to drastically reduce the number of innocent lives being taken ASAP, not to argue about weapons or social ills or all of this other nonsense.

  • Or even a kangaroo, those things can be scary af. Forget about anything bigger.

  • Where is Kevin?
  • If that's supposed to be a projected image, then it should be washed out af with the room being so lit up. The darkest colors should only be about as dark as the white wall behind it.

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
  • AFAIK they're large chips though, and larger generally is more performance but also much more expensive to manufacture.

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
  • Wouldn't adding a bunch of extra features to an ARM CPU make it become less power efficient and more like x86?

    I've heard that ARM isn't inherently more power efficient in some special way over x86, x86 has just been around so long and has had so many extra instructions added to it over the years, but that's what allows it to do so much / be so performant. If you took an ARM CPU and did the same you'd have roughly the same performance/watt.

  • 30 fl oz is A LOT of beverage, a normal sized energy drink is more like 8-16 fl oz, and usually has only 100-200 mg caffeine tops. I've noticed a lot of 300 mg drinks start to get phased out in favor of drinks that only have 120 mg, which is actually a pretty reasonable amount for an adult.

    For instance, I'm about 190 lbs and I need close to 250 mg to adequately feel its effects for exercise, and there are studies that show this is an appropriate amount (mg/lb) for exercise benefits.

    However, even though 30 fl oz with 390 mg is about in line with the smaller drinks for caffeine/volume, I think ideally they should just not offer such a large size drink.

  • Major Republican Donor Who Called Barack Obama the N-Word Dies After Attempting to Kill His Wife In Murder-Suicide Gone Awry
  • Can the award be given out if you just commit suicide? I think it's reserved for very special, unintentional deaths lol

  • This concept for budget double decker airline seating
  • How so? You just push the seat back and get out, it'll be about as much of an issue as a normal (very cramped) seat.

  • Sharks are smooth.
  • No you can't

  • How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
  • One way around it is just to say "I'm from the US". I know it's not quite what you asked but based on what everyone else has said about why we're simply "Americans" then I suggest this as an alternative. Also like they said, referring to yourself by state of residence works too, for instance "Texan" or "Californian" since they're basically just as well known as the US itself at this point.

  • Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it
  • We don't have sensors to directly sense a single magnetic field, but if you've played with magnets a lot, you can definitely "feel" how their forces work and develop kind of an intuitive physical sense.

    Perhaps a good example/analogy of something we can feel and understand somewhat intuitively but actually do not scientifically understand is gravity. You can definitely feel its effects / force, even though you don't have a specific gravitational field sensor in your body per say.

    We have very good theories and formulas for calculating gravitational effects, but we still fundamentally do not understand what causes it.

  • Game Reviews in a Nutshell
  • Proper spatial / binaural audio in games is a game changer for me and it's wild that I have to buy something like DTS Sound Unbound (and before that, X-Fi sound card with CMSS3D) just to kind of "emulate" it in games. This is tech they figured out in the 90s.
