A general rule of thumb that I picked up in the Reddit days is that if a community calls itself the “not censored” version of another community, it is 100%, no ifs ands or buts about it, going to be a sewage system.

Populated mostly by people who were kicked from the other community for being assholes but think they’re paragons of telling it like it is.

Cats will kill and eat anything that doesn’t kill and eat them first. Which is why environmentally conscious cat owners keep them indoors where their damage to other specieses is reduced.

Though some frogs are poisonous and might be bad for them.

I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

BUT

My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.

This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.

Cyanide and a belief in reincarnation.

Because often the reason your turds are Like That is genetics and the only solution would be to become a different person.

This varies from ace to ace. With me?

I am not repulsed but I am violently disinterested

A partner wants to fuck? Sure, I guess? If it makes them happy and I like them. But like. I’ll never go out of my way to try and get sex.

Sex

Turns out I’m asexual.

The spicy part is try being asexual yet HOPELESSLY romantic

But aside from THAT – Brand name clothing.

Most of it doesn’t even look good

There was a time the rich dressed decadently, that was conspicuous consumption, but at least it looked pretty and shiny in pictures. Nowadays rich people be buying clothes that look exactly, completely indistinguishable from the discount shop made-in-china artificial-fabric rags everyone else is wearing, but which have a logo printed on them. And that logo is what makes it expensive.

There’s a lot of it you can just tune out

Not because it doesn’t matter, but because it’s not actually new.

“oh Israel is still doing its genocide. Yeah, they would, no one is bothering to stop them. Don’t give me details. Let me know if something CHANGES”

The “news” cycle has a way of always finding further details on what is actually very old information, and those details serve you, the reader, no purpose other than creating emotional distress.

That’s bait.

Imagine a fictional creature that has wings like a bat and foot-beans like a cat

Bats.

I’m more curious which is Stallman’s poison of choice

Yeah I admire Greta, but anyone who’s been paying attention had to know this would eventually happen.

Punch enough knife-tips and you’ll get cut. Greta wouldn’t shut up and wouldn’t sell out, now she’s going to die a lot.

Yeah it’s actually around the 30s (or 60s, depending on whether you consider interlaced frames to be ‘true’ or just ‘halves’)

A CRT television runs at 60Hz because it uses the alternating current from the wall as a reference, but in every half cycle it only actually draws half of the image. “60i” as they call it.

So you can say it’s 60 interlaced frames a second, which is about comparable to 30 progressive frames.

Funny

I played a lot of Lunistice some time back. It’s a retro 3D platformer that has an option to cap the framerate at 20 for a “more authentic retro feel”. Fun lil’ game, even if I eventually uncapped the framerate because it’s also a high-speed and precision platformer and doing that at 20FPS is dizzying.

And yes absolutely Zelda 64 chokes on its 20 frames from time to time. I played it enough (again, yearly tradition, which started when I first finished the duology in the mid-aughts) to know that.

But it wouldn’t change the fact that its absolute maximum is 20 and it still doesn’t feel bad to play.

I wouldn’t know. Could never afford a posh high-refresh-rate monitor, and it’s very low on my priority list, so even if/when I do get a windfall of money, it probably won’t be what I buy next.

Wrong but also not completely wrong.

Framerates weren’t really a

Thing.

Before consoles had frame-buffers – Because Framebuffers are what allow the machine to build a frame of animation over several VBlank Intervals before presenting to the viewer.

The first console with a framebuffer was the 3DO. The first console people cared about with a framebuffer was the PSX.

Before that, you were in beam-racing town.

If your processing wasn’t enough to keep up with the TV’s refresh rate (60i/30p in NTSC territories, 50i/25p in PAL) – Things didn’t get stuttery or drop frames like modern games. They’d either literally run in slow-motion, or not display stuff (often both, as anyone who’s ever played a Shmup on NES can tell you)

You had the brief window of the HBlank and VBlank intervals of the television to calc stuff and get the next frame ready.

Buuuut, as of the PSX/N64/Saturn, most games were running anywhere between 15 and 60 FPS, with most sitting at the 20s.

PC is a whole different beast, as usual.
