  • Anyone relate?

  • I'm the second... As a very young kid i though it was cool and was something that would always be cool, if that makes sense.

    But as i got older it slowly (pain fully slowly) dawn on me that people thought it was creepy. Being an awkward teen it was very painful to realize that people where avoiding me because i could recite conversations that where 1-2 years old word for word, and if it's about a girl i like, i memorize everything without trying (Worst super power ever).

    As i get older i realize i do forget stuff but this is still a big problem for me. I don't know what is okay?(i guess) to remember and I'm soon to be 33 years old.

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • Since I'm not feeling very optimistic, and given that everything I predicted today was the exact opposite, I'll say this.

    1. Campi Flegrei explodes, creating a noise louder than Krakatoa.
    2. Santorini sinks into the ocean.
    3. Nuclear war.
    4. Groundwater runs out all over the world.
    5. A massive solar emission hits earth, throwing us back into the Stone Age.

    Doing my duty, to protect the world by predicting things, so the exact opposite happens 🍺.

    Just to cover all the bases, some extra points.

    1. AI superintelligence is evil.
    2. A gamma-ray burst hits earth.
    3. Aliens are evil.
    4. Vacuum decay is possible and something accidentally triggers it.
    5. Nobody likes me romantically.

  • Well that and the machines didn't have the same performance as they do now. Now you can stream assets from the hard drive and render the game at the same time.

    Games can be better now because we have objectively better hardware, and better ways of rendering assets.

    I still feel like people are focusing too much on details that don't really contribute to the experience, only to throw AI at it, to make it run better. Effectively making the 4K textures and high Polly models pointless because you are going to look at an AI upscaled version anyway.

  • It always hurts a little when you have to show people how little space stuff used to need.

    I like modern games with awesome graphics and sound quality, but I feel like we lost the ball a while ago on what is important in a game.

  • Can you draw what she was holding?

    Jump

  • always holding... Its so bad im sorry.

  • ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how real companies handle this, but I can share what we did in a student organization at my university that provided internet to its members.

    Not only could we monitor who was downloading a lot of data, but we also received emails from legal organizations informing us that a specific IP in our network(All members had a public IP) had downloaded copyrighted content. They would ask us to disconnect that user. These emails typically came with an XML file attached, filled with legal information and details about the content being downloaded, often including the exact torrent filename.

    We built a system that would automatically parse the XML and forward the email to the user responsible. The subject line may or may not have been "Use a VPN, you idiot!" at some point.

    We also maintained a "high score" list to track what was trending. The last time I checked, Rick and Morty was in the top 3, but that was a while ago.
