Oh man, I didn’t even realize that Lemmy.zip and I share a birthday, so cool!

My dude, this picture has clarified nothing, lol.

That’s true, but I didn’t say that was the native “frame rate” of the TVs, just a very commonly used frame rate at the time. And, at least in my experience, desync’ed frame rate and refresh rate is less of a problem on CRTs than LCDs - you don’t “feel” it as much generally.

Out of curiosity, did you have an actual N64 hooked up to a modern TV? A lot of those old games meant to be played on a CRT will look like absolute dog shit on a modern LCD panel. Text is harder to read, it is harder to tell what a shape is supposed to be, it’s really bad.

Part of it is about how close you are to the target FPS. They likely made the old N64 games to run somewhere around 24 FPS since that was an extremely common “frame rate” for CRT TVs common at the time. Therefore, the animations of, well, basically everything that moves in the game can be tuned to that frame rate. It would probably look like jank crap if they made the animations have 120 frames for 1 second of animation, but they didn’t.

On to Fallout 4… Oh boy. Bethesda jank. Creation engine game speed is tied to frame rate. They had several problems with the launch of Fallout76 because if you had a really powerful computer and unlocked your frame rate, you would be moving 2-3 times faster than you should have been. It’s a funny little thing to do in a single-player game, but absolutely devastating in a multi-player game. So, if your machine is chugging a bit and the frame rate slows down, it isn’t just your visual rate of new images appearing that is slowing down, it’s the speed at which the entire game does stuff that slowed down. It feels bad.

And also, as others have said, frame time, dropped frames, and how stable the frame rate is makes a huge difference too in how it “feels”.

Jesus. Basically everything about it. We use the web client at work, so might be a different set of annoyances.
deep breath I use slashes in 70% of the e-mails I write as the punctuation mark that they are - I have never and will never want it to start randomly guessing what files I want to attach to the e-mail when I type a slash.
I actually didn’t hate that if you typed something like “23rd” it would make the rd super-script - until the day it started doing it so incredibly wrong that it would super-script the ‘3’ and the ‘r’ and change the ‘d’ to a ‘th’ so it read “2^3rth”.
Several times per day it will show a folder name in bold with a number in parenthesis telling me I have new messages in that folder, but when I click on the folder it highlights nothing as new messages, so I have to just remember what the last message I actually read was. Search sucks. Rarely can I open attachments. I told a coworker just yesterday that if they want to keep something secret from me, their best bet is to put the secret in an e-mail attachment and e-mail it to me.

Wait, what about “killing 258 million americans”? What did I miss? That’s a larger portion than I’d suspected they were aiming for…

They listed sources for the “True Proportion”, but not the estimates. It doesn’t actually say who they asked for the “Estimated Proportion” figures.

I bet she’d like it if you told her it was racist and anti-trans…

Reads like it is going to be a generic slash 'em up game, but set in the DnD universe? What the fuck does dnd even bring to the table here besides advertising money? Sounds like it’s going to be a generic ass fantasy game filled to the brim with the micro-transactions that get Chris Cocks hard in the morning. I am unlikely to give it a second notice upon release.

For what it’s worth, I switched 2 years ago and have yet to run into a game I wanted to play and couldn’t. There are some glaring holes, mostly around “serious e-sports” games that have overly invasive anti-cheat (or devs that specifically choose to block linux) that won’t work. Riot and Epic both seem to have a hard on for blocking linux users, as an example.

But here’s the neat part. You can make the switch and see, and it costs you nothing. If you are in the minority that it just won’t work for and have to switch back to windows, you are in the exact same spot you are in now, with nothing lost but a bit of time.

I mostly browse while at work to kill time… I don’t have access to the avatar I would use at work. Also I don’t think I see people’s avatars with the front end I use?

They actually do have that, warm air circulation. The real problem is though that the moisture has to go somewhere for the dishes to actually get dry. It’s why a clothes dryer won’t dry your clothes if the vent is clogged. Some of them have basically something akin to a still inside the door - a path for the warm and moist air to travel through that has a lot of right angle turns giving lots of opportunity for moisture to condense out of the air and then it can drain liquid water out the bottom. Some other models have automatic door openers, so once everything inside gets nice and hot and humid, the door pops open and it all just gets spit out into your kitchen.

It is also worth pointing out that the movie industry stole that anti-piracy ad. It was submitted to a festival competition and then the industry slapped it at the start of every DVD made for several years without ever even asking the creator and owner for permission or offering compensation. They did not go to jail when it went to court, oddly enough…

I get what they are trying to say, but I definitely don’t want my browser to just facilitate me raw-dogging the internet. I had to use someone else’s computer at work the other day, and they don’t have any ad block and have apparently clicked “yes” to every dialog box for years. It was a fucking nightmare. Every web page was so full of ads, pop-ups, notifications, banners, auto-playing videos, etc. Jesus christ, I just needed to check the weather on a local news website and the internet skull-fucked me until I had ocular hepatitis. Decided the safest course of action was to just stand outside and look for tornadoes myself.

Does your neighbor look like Farva? (Kevin Heffernan) Cause that picture looks a lot like that dude.

Thank God for the graph tho, I havnt used math like that in 20 years, and I’ve spent that 20 years getting dumber.
