I don’t want to hear one damn thing about thier next game until the day of release. Over hyping was what got them into trouble last time.

The fact you caught this pic with a camera from 40 years ago (without burst frames) is pretty dang cool.

For this same reason, he’s one of my favorites.

Oh man, thanks for reminding me of an addiction I had a few years ago. Time to hit up amazon.

Edit: I did it, 4 diffent types on their way lol.

Do Oreos count? If not, Swedish Fish.

I had a friend describe it at a party we were at and I didn’t belive him, so I went and downloaded a Linux iso real quick and we watched it. I wish I hadn’t.

Holy Mountain.

That movie is WTF.

I’m kinda not mad that he’s crazy AND vocal. What I’m more worried about is when maybe when he older and wiser he shuts up and just starts funneling all that money towards his nutto crazy talk. At least now you can hear him coming.

We gonna have to worry about 7zip?

I just built a 13700k system for a lab box. My plan all along was undervolt (stable .130 undervolt) and limit max PL2 to 175w. I probably get 85% or better of listed performance and it runs a cool 60° even under max load, which I will frequently run for 24h at a time. For me, cool and stable was always the goal, sounds like this is just bearing out my decision.

Note, I would have gone AMD, but I needed quicksync for Plex.

I’m mean, they are both methods to do the same thing (get smaller sized videos) and it doesn’t have to be one of the other, both can be used. With better compression you can stream higher resolution.

I’m convinced that part of the reason of this over processing is because of streaming. You can compress a movie or show far FAR more when colors are smooth and uniform (I know this from compressing multiple hundreds of movies and TV shows). So now that everyone is “streaming all the things” they have to look for ways to get 4k out the door and to the normal consumer who might only have 100mb internet.

Edit: not defending it, just sharing my observations as a media enthusiast.

Pihole has entered the chat.

Not a movie, but when I was dating my wife, our college had “The Fantasticks” musical that came to town. The production was so terrible I would guess that 1/3 of the audience left at intermission. This was a professional traveling group and it had to be obvious to them that so many people didn’t return for the second half.

I hate it.

For sure check out Taskmaster.

They misspelled VPN

I mean they make the chips in PS5 and xbox too.

Deleted comment: “Tech people already get well into the six figures starting out of college… if anything, they fucked everything up for the rest of us, then ducked out to live in a cottage in Montana somewhere during COVID. Honestly I’m tired of hearing of their “struggles”.”

Hahahahahahahahaha. When I started with IBM in 2010 (NOT fresh out of college, about 5 years experience) I made less than 40k with them.
