I'm not sure what your argument is here?

I think it's pretty obvious. The programmer could write extremely optimized code but if it ends up being packaged with unoptimized assets - a decision they may have no control over - the end result is still going to be a massive size for the game as a whole. It's not like the code itself takes up much storage.

I take it that all games that are 150 gigs are excellent examples of programming then?

Those 150 gigs have nothing to do with "programming,"

Are you arguing in good faith?

I point this out regularly when ResetEra comes up, but they assign user numbers sequentially, list the latest user on their home page, and give a total member count. From what I hear you can't delete your own account either.

The latest member is 170,925 while the member count is 61,248. That would mean that 109,677 accounts (or over 64% of the total) have been banned.

What I want is for these people to face the consequences of their ideology. If only they would wake up in another world where Trump really was a fascist, they were faced with this choice and chose the bear, and men really did subjugate women for fun.

And as an added benefit they would be gone from this world. A man can dream...

mysteriously

Helicopters crashing in IMC isn’t necessarily a mystery. It’s what caused Kobe Bryant’s helicopter to crash, too. And the fact is that the presence of the rich and famous or politically powerful makes some pilots take risks they wouldn’t otherwise take, whether due to something said or not.

I’m sure Israel and the US would like to have killed him, but I find it very believable that pilot error could have caused a crash in that pea soup fog.

I think it's part of the Doctor Who cycle that people tune in at the start when there's a new Doctor to see if they like it. People would even say that the beauty of the show is that if you don't like the way it is now just wait until the next Doctor and it will feel different.

I don't understand why anyone would watch this iteration for more than a couple minutes, but I think a lot of normies are naïve enough to "give it a couple episodes."

most of what's going on with Elon & Google can be explained as competing oligarchs vying to suppress the emergence of competition.

I have a hard time feeling bad for Altman when OpenAI is turning around and supporting regulation that would stifle competition (and potentially open source projects) in the name of “ethics.”

They’ve been killing each other for thousands of years before the United States existed. They don’t need the money to keep killing each other.

So a bunch of a women will be hired for higher-paying administrative jobs where they do nothing while men continue to be the ones to do the work and get paid jack shit. Same as so many other industries, really.

Absolutely fine with it if the character creator is still able to create masculine men and feminine women.

And this is why you can't count on normies to ever wake up to this shit. They're perfectly content to sit in the pot as it boils so long as it doesn't get too hot.

The regressive left knows this, and it's why they've played the long game in their infiltration of institutions. It's also why they deny what they're doing until it's too late to stop it, at which point it becomes a standard industry practice and actually a good thing.

If these same normies had been shown the same thing 20 years ago they wouldn't have been "absolutely fine with it." But here we are, because all that matters to them is the here and now.

They’re just making ape noises (hou). The mother bear is saying “ara ara” (kind of like a mother softly saying “uh oh” to hush her child).

I think they’ll likely reserve the race riots for when someone they don’t like is in power. Too much chance of it backfiring and making Biden look even worse.

They’ll probably use the threat of race riots should Trump win instead.

The problem is not the tomboy, it’s the asshats telling her she’s actually a boy and will be happier if she mutilates herself.

What are you, some kind of conspiracy theorist?

In fact, the entire existence of DEI is a conspiracy. It never happened. There has always been BRIDGE, it’s a standard industry practice, and if you argue against it you’re a racist sexist misogynist transphobe.

… did I leave anything out?

Women are not sexualized in the same way.

No shit Sherlock. I could argue that the men tend to be reduced to their bank accounts, status, and abilities in appealing to women. That romance novels set up unrealistic expectations about men.

And then these same people will be the first arguing that men and women aren’t really different. That there are no differences in brain chemistry.

All this written diarrhea amounts to is “heads I win, tails you lose” and yet so many people buy it.

Re nude Cortana and make it standard that any female characters have to LOOK like female characters

They would have to do more than this to save Halo.

Bonnie Ross was basically the Kathleen Kennedy of Xbox, and under her they’ve had the same bullshit of hiring people who didn’t like the original games.

They need to throw out everything post-Bungie, disband 343, and take a break. Then bring back Martin O’Donnell and some of the original devs and artists in a few years.

Given that most internet "centrists" seem to be leftists trying to pull the Overton window further left I'd say let them fight, but then this is probably more about fence sitters they're afraid might vote for Trump.

I think it says something that Reddit's CEO and COO both sold a shitton of their shares instead of holding longer. It's a shame that some garbage human beings are going to make big money off of this, but I guess at least the true believers will see their investment disappear.

I became a breaking news reporter in 2012, which means that in internet years, I have the experience of an almost ancient entity.

What a self-aggrandizing piece of shit.

Baltimore’s X presence is small enough that journalists like her generally know who the other journalists are working in the city, especially those reporting on Baltimore itself. Almost as soon as news broke about the bridge, though, she saw accounts she’d never heard of before speaking with authority about what had happened, sharing unsourced video, and speculating about the cause.

So the problem isn't that Twitter didn't break the news, it's that the wrong people on Twitter broke the news. Not a member of the in-group journalist clique but outsiders with their own opinions.
