In my heart I quote posted this post with this image.

The scene from Portal 2 where GLaDOS is a potato attached to the portal gun saying "Yes! Burn the house down! He says what we're all thinking!"

Without ray tracing.

Score 33932, average 98.11, 1% lows 70.20. Ultra settings, no ray tracing.

I can't tell you how dull and flat the prebaked lighting and reflections look though, I'm still pushing over 60fps on Ultra with RT, I'll do that.

DarthYoshiBoy@darthyoshi· 29d

I have a few dozen Chrome tabs open, Firefox with a handful of tabs, Discord, Steam, Slack, Mattermost, Bluesky, Mastodon, and a bunch of other software I didn't bother to close down... and the score is still Excellent. I'm going to wait for preliminary reviews, but I'm excited for this.

An Excellent rating and a score of 29,480 with average FPS of 85.29 and 1% lows FPS of 66.78 at 4k with Ultra settings and High Ray Tracing (which is why the screen says Custom rather than Ultra, and it looks amazing!)

I apparently have and will likely do so again.

A comic in four panels representing the scene from Hogfather by Terry Pratchett where Death is playing the Hogfather and giving out Hogswatch gifts at Crumley's toy shop.

Panel one - Concerned woman: You can't giver her that! It's not safe! [A little girl is delightedly walking away from Death and the woman with a massive sword]

Panel two - Death: IT'S A SWORD, THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.

Panel three - Crumley: She's a child!

Panel three - Death: IT'S EDUCATIONAL.

Panel three - Crumley: What if she cuts herself?

Panel four - Death: THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

A silly man wants everyone else to pitch in and lend their resources to saving his failing enterprise. Good luck to everyone who thinks that's in their best interest.

A stupid Reddit meme that says "Someone is drowning. You try to save him, but in panic, he pulls you down with him into deep water. Help carefully." over and image of a hand reaching towards another hand under water.

The Jason Figured it Out meme from The Good Place with all instances of Jason replaced with Utah.

"Utah figured it out? Utah? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."

Fun story time! Apple did this to us on purpose and they still think it was a good idea. developer.apple.com/library/arch...

About the iOS File System

The iOS file system is geared toward apps running on their own. To keep the system simple, users of iOS devices do not have direct access to the file system and apps are expected to follow this convention.

Okay this is genuinely impressive. You're well below the standard JND of 002. The CIE should be sending you a job offer. Or at least a certificate.

Meanwhile, we cut to Trevor Lee's idea of "actual journalism" in progress.

I keep praying that they'll get those buttons up in their shop so I can get all my other controllers looking more correct. Come on 8bitdo. Please? Let me make these live again! shop.8bitdo.com/collections/...

@brettweiss.bsky.social I just picked up the SNES Omnibus books and I'm curious about this information under the NBA Jam: Tournament Edition listing in volume 2. It says the game is Super NES Mouse compatible and I can't find anywhere that confirms this.

A paragraph from SNES Omnibus Volume 2 page 17, which claims that the game NBA Jam: Tournament Edition is Super NES Mouse Compatible.

Neat

"They came first for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

My beautiful wife, after spending the whole day browsing Avatar The Last Airbender deck lists, has bought all the devil's cardboard necessary to build herself 2 Commander decks. My apologies to anyone who thought they had the best spouse and has just now had to reckon with that not being the case.

Toph, the First Metalbender Magic the Gathering card.

Part 2 has 12 puzzles which I have yet to start.

Pocky, a black and white tuxedo munchkin, sits next to an IPS modded GameBoy Advance with an e-reader inserted. The Pixel Pup Beta cards sit beside the cat and the GBA, the GBA screen shows the Part 2 level select screen with 0 puzzles completed.

Surely any list of "top bands" that includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers is parody, no? I mean, I love Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I know they're only good in the way that midnight Taco Bell is "good." A steady diet of it will kill you, but they're a fine treat to enjoy in moderation.

Honestly, that whole Bible thing would scandalize them if they ever bothered to have a read.

The King of the Hill meme where Bobby is being told "If those kids could read they'd be very upset."

Hey, just so you all know, I love your weird and chaotic existence and I would never in a hundred million billion lifetimes want your variances "smoothed out." Honestly some of the most "I've a 4yo's understanding of the world" nonsense I've ever seen. gothamist.com/arts-enterta...

“If one of your five closest friends is an AI companion that is a great sounding board and a great therapist or coach, and everyone has that, I think that will raise the emotional intelligence of most people and really smooth out the variance in people,” Schiffman said. “There’ll be a lot less weird, chaotic things.”

Just like the Crypto race was on? ...or is this like the blockchain race was on? The NFT race? The Metaverse/VR race? Nobody is racing to solve these problems that people only invent so that they can sell you the solution that they have also invented.

This set is tremendous. The click of the power switch feels so authentic, it's easily my favorite part of the DMG, and here it's translated perfectly to Lego. I got my original DMG from my grandpa after my diabetes diagnosis hospitalized me just before Christmas. Holds a special place in my heart. ♥️

For that matter, it runs from a regular SD card on Steam Deck just fine and the advertised 100MB/s read speed from SD cards there is a hugely "best case scenario" sort of deal. Real world use is often ~80MB/s, and that's only if the reads are sequential. Random access is often <30MB/s.
