  1. Oh I know. I know many of these people exist. But it still baffles me every time I think about it.
  2. I got it because nostalgia and who knows, but I was never a big fan of their single player (going to multiplayer only in Q3 was a really good decision), and replaying it now, I think that still holds true. Bottom line is if you want an arcady twitch shooter, modern Doom Eternal is about 1000x better.
  3. Yes, he is. For very dumb reasons. I've wondered if it's a conscious or unconscious tactic to distract from the actual real-world issues with current and near-future AI for which his company is responsible. What constitutes "super advanced"? I'd easily best on useful robots that can walk well and do pick-and-place well within our lifetime. I would say human-like intelligence (not to be confused with human-like agents) is possible near the end of our life, but I have much higher uncertainty bars on that prediction.
  4. Imagine blaming the democrats for a health care system that doesn't support the poor.
  5. Someone should have pulled up this scene when an exec suggested this course of action.
  6. Very plausibly, yes? I don't even know what this asshats goals actually are, do you? The founding fathers had meaningful goals that they actually made good on and I feel pretty confident this isn't a guy who can make meaningful change for better or worse. Instead he's just making a mess of things.
  7. I thought this thread title was a joke! Really sorry to hear that!
  8. Either getting out of fines is an incredibly low bar that just needs jargon in your letter, or this is a terrible idea that will be prone to syntactically valid, but nonsensical arguments. (Or both could be true I suppose )
  9. I suspect they think Cortana is useful, or will be some day. They might be wrong, but I suspect they believe it!
  10. Yeah that sounds annoying; I like the labels. I don't work for MS, but if I had to speculate why features get removed it's because every feature adds more complexity to test and maintain. If most people don't really care, the simplification might be worth it. I do, however, happen to care and I suspect a big enough fraction of the population does to argue that they shouldn't have removed this feature.
  11. The swords are cool, but it's all about those mantis blades! Point of no return is pretty linear and directed to the end. When you finish the game, it takes you back to just before PoNR to continue. So you can do more afterwards, but if you want to do things before the end, you should do them now.
  12. No, because robots are not life. They're better than that.
  13. Yeah I highly recommend the speedy blade build! So much fun. And motorcycles in first person at maximum speed in dense traffic. Oh but I will say, some of the sniper rifles are really satisfying, so I did enjoy mixing it up between snipers and blades. The game on a high end PC is very solid. Just seems like not much elsewhere
  14. I enjoyed this as it was my first time through it, but after beating it, I don't think the analog controls were very good. It felt like it had high latency response and while it worked 90% of the time, there were numerous occasions were you could audibly can hear me flicking the analog multiple times while Link just stands there doing nothing, and then naturally gets hit in the face by something. Just give me a fucking button mapping for executing the attack with directional input for the direction of the attack. Would have been much better.
  15. Yeah that was my expectation, especially for a place like CyberpowerPC, but when I did this one, I didn't do any individual pricing so I can't say for sure. I would expect it's pretty close.
  16. Mine with a - 3080 - AMD 3900x - 1TB PCI4 NVMe - 32GB DDR4/3000MHz Was $2,156.00. It was not out line with other pre-built system prices, and I certainly put high value on being able to actually get the things I wanted, but you can draw your own conclusions about the price from there
  17. The word was used by some people in a way that wasn't intended to be derogatory to gay people, I think he is right about that. He's wrong that this is some sudden change; that perception that it was okay because *you* didn't *mean* it as offensive to gay people was largely corrected quite some time ago. It seems weird that Matt only learned this now, but he's a huge celebrity; should anyone really be that surprised that he lives in a bubble where people are not as quick to correct him? If he actually changed his attitude then I can't really be mad.
  18. I don't think you need a "prebuilt" in the same way as an HP. What I did was a CyberpowerPC "build" which really amounts to you choosing which parts and they put it together custom, including things as low-level as the Mobo. It was also a very successful route! In fact, it looks like you can *still* build a CyberpowerPC with an 30xx!: Customize Gamer Ultra 6700XT Gaming PC WWW.CYBERPOWERPC.COM Gamer Ultra 6700XT <br/>Intel® Core™ Processor i7-10700K <br/>16GB ADATA XPG Z1 3200MHz RAM <br/>ASRock Z590-C/ac ATX Motherboard <br/>500GB M.2 NVMe SSD + 3TB HDD Combo <br/>Windows 10 Home
  19. It blows my mind how much of a bubble I lived in my entire life. I keep hearing stories like this from so many places both in academia and industry that this shit seems rampant, but somehow I’ve managed to avoid this bullshit my entire life. How does the country even work at all?
