Do not recommend Bloons TD6 with the high system requirements. Highly recommend Into the Breach and Prey.

Huge news. And bound to happen, eventually: 32bit had its (glorious) time, but that time is not now. All the major distro maintainers are celebrating.

Quoting: ArehandoroBoy, oh boy...

Quoting: eggrole

Is it really extremist to want to stop immigration and deport some of the current immigrants?

1. Yes, it is.

If so, can I argue that importing them is at the other end of extreme?

No one is "importing" anyone. Please stop referring to people like they were goods.

P.S: There's so much I'd like to say, but I don't too much time right now, and I also promised myself to be more civil.

Arehandoro, it's "funny", I wanted to say exactly the same thing you said! Perfect.
Also the obligatory expected Purple Library Guy comment. ❤️
It's a good way/reminder to see that the majority of people here are not on the eggrole's side and I'm really happy about it.

I am very excited for this as well. I applied for the closed beta some time ago but haven't been accepted yet. Maybe because I am not that active in War Thunder in general

I'm really happy to see this project is still in healthy development, even though the number of FM has been decaying recently. It's really a pitty because this is the closest thing we have to Thief remake.

If only there was a magic way of porting all T1 and T2 FM to the Dark Mod...

Quoting: tuubiI never really got into FMV games or interactive movies or whatever you want to call them, but this looks like it might have a better balance of gameplay vs cut scene. And real actors inside a rendered game world? In my opinion that worked pretty well in Cyan's classics and of course the wonderful Tex Murphy adventures.

Yeah, I don't really think you can put this into the FMV games category. FMV was just an aspect of what they could do at the time. The rooms and transitions were pre-rendered and just loaded as images/movies. They couldn't render and animate convincing people in those days, so they used FMV overlays for those. For a remake it's good to do it like that again to stay true to the original.

Boy, oh boy...

Quoting: eggroleHas anyone ever stopped to ask those voting this way WHY? I don't follow European politics closely so I could be wrong about this, but from what I can tell the major voting point is immigration and the downstream effects (like increased housing prices as one example).

Increased housing prices don't happen because of immigration. It happens because of the de-regularisation of the housing market (Which it should never be a fucking market) and allowing the likes of Airbnb to take over or giving new builds to multi-millionaires en-mass to do money laundering and put directly into the rental market.

Add to this, people calling them Nazis for wanting something different than you might want will only exclude them and dig them into their positions. If you are an open-borders proponent (or whatever the issue might be), you won't change any minds calling people names and telling them they are wrong/dumb.

It is true that the words nazi/fascist are sometimes overused, diluting their real meaning. However, it is the right that started using it so they can deflect the conversation to that topic, instead of their policies and actions. When Musk did the nazi salute, he was very aware of this.

But let's not forget either; if it looks like nazi, behaves like a nazi, and says things a nazi would, it is definitely a fucking nazi.

Is it really extremist to want to stop immigration and deport some of the current immigrants?

1. Yes, it is.
2. Are they/you really against immigration and pro deporting, or do they only ask of this for people that aren't white and are economically worse than them/you? If the latter, they/you are racist and waging class war. Edit: Actually, if the former, also applies to being racist and waging class war nonetheless.
3. I'm going to assume you are a white person in the US, so you don't belong in that continent... Or this only applies to "now"?

If so, can I argue that importing them is at the other end of extreme?

Quoting: eggroleAdd to this, people calling them Nazis for wanting something different than you might want will only exclude them and dig them into their positions.

So like being transgender (nonbinary), these people want me imprisoned or dead for that reason alone. They think suicidal ideation among us is a big joke. They think because they are cis and I am not I should be a in prison for the rest of my life or a corpse. Yes, they are nazis this is what the nazis did. And of course, electing a guy who talks like a nazi because trans people exist does also make them at the very least complicit in nazism and accepting of it. Oh sure, debating someone else's right to life is just an opinion to you because it doesn't directly affect you. Given the rest of that comment I can already see the "is life in prison really that extreme, you're still alive" yes it is extremist. I should not be in prison for existing and using a goddamn bathroom.

I chose 4k, because when I had a weak GPU, I could just run stuff in 1080p at exactly double the pixels in both dimensions.

But it turned out, resolution really matters, and if I could run something at 4k while lowering shadow quality and such (but not textures) it always looked better.

new block sets of cinnabar and sulfur

They should add a few more while they're at it: lead, cadmium, beryllium, thallium, uranium… 😁

Jokes aside, it does look like some interesting stuff.

Well, I'll just move to distros that don't support these ill advised age verification legislation, if needed. Already started moving over to other socials slowly but surely, even started using https://hey.cafe/ which is kind of facebook, but without all the garbage and ads. Still small, but at least fairly open and not based in the US. :)

Lovely choice of game! I wouldn't mind a Nightdive treatment of Clive Barker's Undying, I'm sure there's some nice archive material that could be included.

I'd be fine giving up the extra screenspace I have at 1440p for the crisper fontrendering from 4k@200% rendering (1080 effective resolution). But I don't really feel any need to actually render my games in 4k... 1080p rendering and then integer scale that 2x2 and I'm good.

Gnome is great, if you like a Mac OS like feel.

KDE and Plasma handle my HDR screen better though, I wonder if Gnome 50 is better

Quoting: eggroleFurther, I am hesitant to call anyone extremist when they simply have a diffent opinion. Is it really extremist to want to stop immigration and deport some of the current immigrants? Compared to rounding them up and shooting them - an actual extremist view? You might not want that, but is wanting that (the deporting, not executing) really extreme?

[sarcasm] Well, and is rounding them up and shooting them really extreme? Compared to torturing them slowly and then eating them - an actual extremist view? [/sarcasm]
You can always pretend (X) isn't extreme if you can find a vile enough (Y) to compare it to. What's not extreme is justice and equal rights for all.

Quoting: eggroleExtremism is created when there is a lack of communication

No it isn't. Different political camps never communicated much and probably never will. Extremism is created when the system as it is fails to meet the needs of large and increasing numbers of people, when lives become precarious and even those who are doing all right fear that this might not be a stable situation. At that point, people look for someone to blame, and there are two basic answers:

Answer 1: Blame the people in charge. This is the obvious answer since the people in charge are, well, in charge. If things are screwed up, who else would be responsible? But this gets more radical if people notice that the current situation, bad for them, is actually enriching the people at the top (as it is today). At that point you start to think they're not just getting things wrong, they're screwing you over deliberately.

Answer 2: Blame groups who have no power, but who seem different. Outgroups, aliens, people who trigger xenophobia. This is the stupid answer--like how are these scapegoats supposed to have caused any of the problems--but it is the answer that gets the propaganda funding, because the people in charge really want everyone who's upset to believe it's the fault of anyone but them. And when people are afraid and angry, blaming the outsider is a strong instinct, so it works pretty well. But it is simply wrong, not to mention evil.

(It's particularly wrong in today's world, where if there are a bunch of immigrants it is because the exact people siccing you on immigrants ruined the countries people are fleeing, whether by war or predatory trade practices or coups and destabilization. For instance, if the US and Europe hadn't deliberately broken Iraq, Libya and Syria, the mass immigration to Europe from those regions would not have happened. Anyone who doesn't want lots of immigration, the last thing they should do is vote for fascists, because they're always militarists who will create crises that cause immigration.

Oh please, fuck victim blaming and shaming immigrants or apologizing to that shit. Bigotry and xenophobia are bullshit regardless of anything that's going on. It's not the fault of any of the immigrants that imperialism has destabilized and/or brutally exploited and oppressed their home countries, forcing them to leave. Which is something that the petty liberals (Blair, Obama, and Genocide Joe, etc.) are all equally guilty of as the assholes in the right (Bush, the Orange Moron, and the Tories, etc.).

Quoting: eggrole

Quoting: ChrisznixPerfect timing. The rightwing party of germany just claimed almost 20% in one of the lands...🤮

Quoting: Geppeto35Yesterday, the French municipal elections also saw a historic breakthrough for the far-right party, which openly aligns on nazis and fascists roots, helped (as right before the WWII) by the traditional right wing that fears a true left elected.

Sadly, it smells like our generation could be "all out of bubblegums" in the next decade in this mad world!

Alot of these people tend to be misled by the goverment though.. "it's not our fault your life is shitty, its that immigrants fault"

Take Brexit here in the UK for example. Everyone I know who voted to leave was due to immigration.

Yet under the EU we could send illegal immigrants to the EU country they entered from, then brexit happened

Subsequently, the small boat crisis wasn't a thing pre-brexit, but not seen a single brexiteer who will acknowledge this and instead beat their chests and still act like brexit was a good thing.

Critical thinking needs to be used more with right wing parties, instead of being so biased about their opinions all the time

Quoting: eggroleMy monitor is only 1440 and while I'm sure I'll go to 4K someday, it won't be any time soon.

Same here. I think of 1440p as being the happy medium between 1080p and 4k, giving you a slightly crisper image, without the overhead that 4k requires.

When it comes to games, I can play at 1080p without complaint. I'm not exactly the most difficult person to please on this front. I mean sure, I can see the difference 4k makes, but it's not so much better that I feel the need to spend $1500+ on a new GPU.

FSR 4.1 is already available as DLL, which you copy in your game prefix.
Newest-Beta OptiScaler and Proton-CachyOS can do this, too, afaik.
It does also work for RDNA3 via FP8 emulation as did FSR 4.0 before.

My hope, perhaps, maybe, if possible... a new INT8 DLL for RDNA2, that would be great!

Quoting: eggroleSo ML to unblur the blur added by the other pass of ML.

I wonder what the "next level" of this stuff is. I don't see a push for 8K - everyone I know is either happy with 4K or even lower. My monitor is only 1440 and while I'm sure I'll go to 4K someday, it won't be any time soon. So what I'm getting at is, if they've built a tech that is all about upscaling but we end up staying at 4K (forever?) what is the upgrade path? I can't see them shrinking the source much. I would doubt you'll see 360p rasters scaled _well_ to 4K.

Further, I wonder if you replaced all the "wasted" transistor space on these chips for raw raster, what kind of numbers would we be getting? It might not be more/much more, but I would expect similar results minus some of the *-tracing stuff. Which, everyone I know turns off anyway.

It isn't about going lower and lower render resolution, that just happens because more stuff is rendered, but your PC stays the same.

It isn't about upscaling, it's about managing what to do during the limited time. Instead of brute-forcing all the pixels, they could render less pixels and do more complex render. Instead of lowering the quality of the world, they could just lower the render and upscale it.

There is no point of adding more resources for raster if all that developers want to do is more raytracing.

8k is officially dead (for now at least). The manufacturers aren't making them at all anymore, so you can't buy them even if you wanted to (which you shouldn't.) -- https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/lg-joins-the-rest-of-the-world-accepts-that-people-dont-want-8k-tvs/

I do live video streaming engineering as my career. I can tell you first hand that the VAST majority of content I handle is still 1080p. Like probably 95%. Occasionally we will get a 4k ingest, but it's not often. For decent bandwidth, you also need a 4k signal to be hevc 265, whereas a 1080p signal is just fine on good ol ancient avc 264. For stuff in post, a lot more is rendered out in 4k and streamed out in 4k, but even for some of the edits our team does, a lot of the source is delivered in 1080, and then they upscale it on the render so it's just fake 4k LOL
