They programmed machine to output a specific answer. I don't get what's newsworthy about it.

hahahah.

I guess that would happen. Like watching an old movie classic. Still, it's pretty good for what it is.

It's a nice game, but the original has its charm.

GoldSource HL is superior to HL: Source anyway. They took the gibs away.

I wonder if that will be any good.

Answer is no. Lightning was part of the visual design of the game. It will look somehow bad compared to the originally crafted look. It would be as dissonant as adding some reshader thing that oversaturates all colors.

RTX of older games is a tech demo, not an improvement.

unrealized gains tax

What the fuck

HIs actions are indistinguishable from those of someone that panders to whichever audience he figures is the majority.

So it's clickbait?

I kinda scares me. If things keep getting worse, the pendulum is going to swing with such a force that it may get legitimately inhumane.

Germans go hardcore no matter which direction they choose. It's like they're natural extremists.

Perhaps, but it's still embarrassing.

It's genuine popular anger, but it's misplaced. The guy isn't at fault. The monarchy isn't really in charge of this kind of thing.

For those who don't know, freak rains created a flash flood in which 200+ people have died in Valencia. The alarms and emergency SMS' came too late (regional government's fault) and the aid response has been "unsatisfactory" by people's standards (national president's fault). It's Spain's worst humanitarian catastrophe since 1962. Apparently, meteorologists had warned about constructions in flood-risk areas of the city in question, but tourism and other economic factors won out and constructions happened anyway.

The royal couple visited the site, like a vice-president might do, and people directed their stress at them. Since the king's true functions are kinda... "ornamental", he can't be held responsible for the negligence that enabled the catastrophe. This means that the people of the city are actually disgracing themselves in their misplaced anger. It was a shameful event that made a bad situation worse.

Do you really have no cognitive dissonance here seeing an action hero that 'looks like you'?

They're not being sincere.

complete with performative tears.

You said it.

Public charity is vanity.

lol

I wasn't talking about the 1% of streamers, but all the rest instead. Why are they exclusive?

Nothing good ever came from them.

Even then, those would be an insignificant minority.

has been the norm for millennia

So were human sacrifices.

As I said:

There is no individual who can't be unfairly discriminated against under some category they share.

Earth-1610
Earth-616

Lol, I don't know what that means. Nobody tell me. I'm happier that way.

No, it's just a voter persuasion attempt. Musk won't get arrested.

When you're that rich, you only get arrested if you get exposed for Epstein levels of crime that risk the system's stability if the public's cry for justice is ignored.

Is there any reason why a streamer would use a single platform exclusively?

If I streamed, I'd target all available platforms simultaneously. That way, I'd get more exposure and damage mitigation if I got banned somewhere.

I don't get why there are "twitch" streamers instead of everyone being a universal streamer. Is it laziness or what?

Profiling like that goes against any reasonable standard under which a tolerable society can function. There is no individual who can't be unfairly discriminated against under some category they share.

I've had competent and respectable female bosses.

They'll convince themselves of anything that makes them relevant in their minds.

This is why I don't read articles without comments sections.
