It was an obvious content bait piece, and it worked. Got shared everywhere, people kept saying “no the game is actually amazing now guys trust me buy three copies” and all it took was a Discord message, way cheaper than hiring a link building service or outreach campaign.

and floating point isn’t a precision

Floating point precision does not mean I’m saying “floating point is a precision”, whatever that sentence means.

The PlayStation can’t use anything but integers to place points in 3D space.

You’re absolutely correct - but what you’re describing is a learning institution in general, not a university. That’s the fundamental issue.

Universities have a very specific purpose and it’s academic. Unfortunately, our society not only shoves a bunch of commercial values in the mix, but also eliminates most of the other learning opportunities, which turned universities in this weird mix of conflicting interests and unrealistic expectations.

The primary goal of a university is teaching the next generation of academics. That’s it. The entire goal is teaching and research.

But like everything else in this society, it must become a profit-driven endeavour and if it doesn’t contribute with the revenue of some company, it’s not worth it.

The PlayStation hardware is barely capable of 3D at all.

Sure, it can accelerate some polygon math, but that’s about it. No texture mapping, no Z depth, no floating point precision, no anti-aliasing, no shading.

“what should I do if I’m going through severe emotional distress? How to choose a good psychiatrist?”

ChatGPT: "I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been going to a stressful situation, it’s always worth talking about your feelings. I’ve come up with a plan to help you:

1 Purchase an ice cold Pepsi Black™ from a Pepsi official supplier"

I really non ironically miss the friction of the old internet.

I prefer how it took time to find some bare HTML university website, slowly browse through an index as if it was a book, and then find one non-SEO optimized page with all the information you needed on a topic for your research.

The time to browse, being exposed to other terms, having to select the pages yourself, being skeptical by nature, and then having to copy it by hand… This is a much more positive scenario than having a gigantic company learn everything about you and everybody else and then make these decisions for you, using some hidden algorithm, and with the ultimate goal of pushing their newest process. And of course, the content has been rendered virtually useless to appeal to that algorithm.

Gears of War is a fantastic game, and it looks surprisingly good even to this day, if you can get past that specific “Xbox 360 grey and sepia” colour filter that every game seemed to use.

You’re confusing solid food in my mouth with calories ingested.

If for whatever physiological reason your claim is correct, and your digestive system is indeed so fast food goes through unprocessed, you didn’t actually eat. You’ve eaten in the social, pleasurable or psychological sense, but these are not ingested calories, and therefore also completely irrelevant to your metabolism or diet.

If you could take a 1000 calorie burguer, cover it in plastic, swallow it and have it pass through intact… You just ingested zero calories. So you can’t later say “oh I regularly eat 1000 calories per meal and lose weight, but my partner chews a 300 calorie steak and gains weight!”

If you see what I mean.

The Steam Deck is superior in every regard anyways

Almost… I wish it had access to DLSS, FSR looks so horrendous, especially before actual hardware acceleration like we have on RDNA 2.

It’s important to notice that while an underlying medical issue is certainly likely in your situation, and that’s hard to work against… There’s no physical way you were actually ingesting 200 daily calories and didn’t lose weight.

This is beyond biology, it’s physical. You were either consuming way more than that, or you were actually losing weight and just didn’t notice. There’s no alternative.

They can “reserve the right” all they want, that’s illegal where I live, and they sell their devices officially here. I’d love to see them trying to hold this stance in court - even Apple lost here over a similar issue, so go right ahead and try.

While what you said is true, you’re neglecting that it’s not entirely based on selfish ideations.

There are people selling courses and profiting heavily from tricking those people into thinking that these strategies work. They pretend they’ve won cases like this, that the loopholes are real, that many people are singing them praises. The failed attempts are just “the loud minority that screwed up the process”.

Around the same as the Steam Deck when portable, but with access to significantly better upscaling.

Such a shame FSR looks so terrible, the Steam Deck would otherwise hold up much better against it.

I’m still not going to buy one and only use my Deck though.
