today i think i will leave work early (7pm)

been said before but like greatest argument for immigration to the us is that immigrants like the US more than americans do. I got scolded by a kuwaiti guy in a bar for being californian but not having read john steinbeck

[vriskakinnieaynrand]

true; the problem is that their kids assimilate

we need legislation banning games >100GB

[xenasaur]

OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT BETTER THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A 150GB GAME!!!

[xenasaur]

upon reviewing the notes I'm changing my position. games must be <50GB. no more mandatory 8k uncompressed textures!!! I don't believe in 8k I think it's fake

[xenasaur]

to be clear games really ought to be around 20 gigs or less. but I think in the spirit of generosity and mercy we won't criminally prosecute the developers until the file sizes breaks 50

Helldivers 2 heard you and went from 156 to 23

[xenasaur]

wait is that real

just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost

[somespicycheese]

it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!

So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!

jokes aside i do have modesty intuitions that preclude wearing shorts, quite unpleasant in the summer! it took me years to switch from plain t-shirt undershirts to v-necks. like yeah if i didn't have a real job i'd get into camming but that's different, that's the underworld

[vriskakinnieaynrand]

posting bizarre and offputting takes is my way of exercising restraint. without it i'd spec into extremely niche thirst traps i think. but one must exercise modesty, & ensure that only the worthy few can see a flash of uncovered skin, an ankle or such...

wake up in the morning and get out of bed and accosted by beggars two steps out of doors. how do i dress like i'd vote for the platform of rotting the boroughs and slaughtering poors?

[vriskakinnieaynrand]

it's too bad remote work didn't pan out as much as we'd hoped. i think cities aren't very good! but you need everything line up to finally get rid of cities. you need remote work and self-driving cars and drone delivery and online shopping and trains for the few valid use cases of cities

humanity's natural habitat is an urbanoid space habitat. we haven't quite gotten there yet

caved in and bought something online (knockoff strawberry dragonfruit syrup) to try and assemble Big Drink With Ice at home. not quite crazy enough to order the official dunkin donuts one from a reseller site yet because it's over a liter. but I'm not letting the Mormons monopolize dirty sodas, I've been trying out various strawberry sodas with some weird raspberry syrup I found at the discount store + oat milk. the experiments taste a bit vile so far but #nevertheless she persisted

hibiscus tea, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, other things of this nature. boil for a few minutes, cool, carbonate, sweeten to taste. it may also be relevant to your quest to acquire a bottle of vimto
