Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I don’t think I’ve been presented any slop videos. Surely not long videos, right?

Walking backward is just walking negatively forward by another name

I don’t think they posted on Lemmy to get search results

That is genuinely surprising, but I’m terminally online so maybe it shouldn’t be. These articles get trotted out every 6 months or so when Star Citizen passes whatever milestone. Lots of people enjoy it, some people complain about it, but it’s certainly an anomaly in the gaming space.

Capitulation was originally the negotiation that led to one side surrendering, hence the meaning of capitulation as surrender. But to recapitulate is to have the negotiation again, or kind of re-discuss, which is where we get the word recap.

I just went down a fun little rabbit hole for this only a few weeks ago, glad I got to regurgitate it!

Didn’t most console games run at 30fps until recently, so effectively 30hz, right?

I swear, games running at 240fps on a 240hz monitor have actual motion blur, no need for post processing

Ha, forgot about that. Maybe this trailer just feels over the top

The first one was campy but it felt way less self-aware

This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.

Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.

Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?

Person 1: It sure is hot today.
Person 2: I know, right?

Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.

Hyperaware Tater Tot

It’s so crazy that 10 million subscribers is huge by YouTube standards but practically meaningless in the larger context.

I’ve been looking into this recently because The Algorithm wanted me to (I don’t always do what The Algorithm wants, but sometimes it’s really fucking spot-on so maybe I’m just institutionalized) and I simply don’t see why this is really any different from anything else available.

Is it really that much better? Is it the same thing just with better execution? As we’ve seen time and again, popular doesn’t always mean good.

That’s a good one. I like this guy’s series on the topic

I don’t clap when planes land safely, but I’m sure I would celebrate if the train I was on landed safely!

Noooo, getting the bay leaf is lucky!

Lol, they didn’t discover shit, they’re trying to correlate data to fit some kind of fucked up narrative in a campaign against… I don’t know, but it’s probably going to include lists of the “sick” who need to be “taken care of”

They’re adding multiplayer, actually. Lots of fun to be had when everything can be destroyed. The workshop mods introduce a lot of new weapons, levels, and vehicles, too.
