Happy trans day!

I discovered this band the other day after watching the latest episode of Invincible on Amazon Prime.. This was the track that played in the latest episode, which is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K4sEj_Lsvo

Ethel Cain is a trans woman.. Her piano skills and singing are really good. Her lyrics are amazing for this song

Good..No misunderstandings then.

Rimworld huh

If you don't work out and take care of yourself, I guess.

One thing I've learned as I get into my late 30 is that it takes longer to recover. I really need to rely on a good nights sleep.

Yes, as long as they get their work done and their performance is good.

Sam Worthington

he was in Avatar and then nothing else good ever

and then Avatar 2 lol

I disagree.. Far from the worst. He's in 1-2 movies a year and supposed to be in Avatar 3, 4, and 5. He has been in pretty mid roles, but he didn't fall from grace like some bad actors. He's not Amber Heard,.Jonathan Majors,

Yup, broke up with her around 8 months ago. Yes it still hurts and I think that hole in my heart will always be there. Was with her for 5 years.

Sounds like it was after the weird girl. If I may ask, why didn't it work out with you and your fiance?

Imagine being an astronaut stationed in ISS. Is there a limitation on things I can bring to work?

Not to mention much safer from not having from work

If I had the million, Id stop working.

you can't retire early off a million dollars. lol

Oh man this is hard.. This includes work trips, right?

I'd obviously save more money and have a lot more.

I probably spend 12k miles alone every year going to work and back. That's like 1500 a year on gas, 1500 a year on tolls getting to work. And than car maintenance and insurance. Maybe close to 10k.
Time is important too. I think I spend up to 14 days stuck in traffic (or up to 8 hours a week) a year.

So the million dollar question is... One lump sum of 1 million or 10k a year on car fees and saving 14 days a year on traveling.

Maye I'll work for another 30 years? 300k and 420 days saved

out of all these restaurants, I ate at Subway the most. But because they have nothing that's gluten free, I'll remove it.

Beans easily. Keep one in hand for me, give one to my mom, and then give it to someone else who really needs it (family, friend, stranger). Will just donate 2-3 every year..Much better feeling than 500k a year.

I would choose beans over a billion dollars.

hmm... botw. tears of the kingdom does a lot of things better than botw in terms of gameplay, but the story is so colossally disappointing for me that it just sours my whole experience. i replayed botw a couple times just to soak up the bits of lore, rewatch the cutscenes, etc... there wasn't much to the story in botw, but what there was had a little mystery and seemed to tie back to the lore. totk's story barely even tied back to the game that came right before. and it was just very bland, forgettable. we brought back ganondorf just to basically not do anything with him. all the zonai stuff just kind of overshadowed the rest of zelda lore and it just didn't have a good feel to it.

it was so bad even the zelda tubers dumped on it. and it's the reason i haven't touched totk since i beat it when it released.

I wish they did more with Ganondorf, especially story wise. I do prefer him over Calamity Ganon. Both games have scattered story cut scene stories due to the timer being open world.

kinda reminds me of eating mcflurries back in the day. Crazy how much sugar they have.

First time playing botw was just magical. Despite putting like 80 more hours in Totk over botw, exploring and collecting everything again feels like a bit of a slog. It's so much more packed. But it does have a lot of QOL improvements from botw.

Totk has better dungeons, better puzzles, and abilities (the fuse + build with ultra hand just gives a lot more possibilities). The abilities are overall much better than the purah pad ones, minus the bombs. The last one in Totk is just crazy.

Hero abilities wise... Totk is kind of broken since you get helpers who don't die. Especially when you max them out.
All the botw ones are really good except for darukas protection.

The zonai stuff is a double edged sword. Cause it gives endless possibilities, but it kind of makes already existing things like horse travel, less useful.

Welp... I told her that I would be down to talk on the phone if we can't meetup until this upcoming weekend.

dude wtf. Just talk to her over the phone. It's really not that big of a deal. Don't mess this up. You don't have to talk for an hour.

Used to actually call friends to hang out, and talk to them for 30 minutes to an hour over the phone (as a guy).

Never date a co worker unless you are willing to lose that job.

This so hard. I get that a lot of people meet at work, but I just would but be very very careful. Especially as a dude when approaching female coworkers. Always have good intentions and never be a creep.
But most of all, be professional and discreet about a work relationship, and have a strategy if things go south/doesn't work. We all know this.

I don't recommend dating anyone in your department unless one person leaves..Otherwise dating someone in another department is much better, if you have to date someone at work.

People talk.. And your reputation can be ruined..Especially if you try to go with multiple people.

I've tried to befriend almost every coworker that I've had over the past few years. Everyone realizes quickly that I have nothing to offer. Even the few masochists who repeatedly bang their heads against the wall trying to converse with me eventually give up.

If you feel like you don't have anything to offer, then just improve on yourself. Get some hobbies, work on your personal and professional goals, talk to people more, get out of the house more.

Yes. I met my current partner on Tinder about 6 months ago. Im talking to someone I met on Feeld right now, and someone else I met on Bumble. I dont subscribe to any of them.

That's good for you. Perhaps you got lucky, and you are decent looking and have good social skills. Tinder's quality of women (and men) are all over the place, and since men out number women by like 10x on that app, women will get a ton of matches and will select only a few.

I've met some decent women on tinder, a few years ago without a subscription. They didn't really last past the 1st or 2nd date. Now at my age, the vast majority of my matches on tinder or CMB are women in their 30s who don't want kids or aren't sure if they do.

they have a monopoly on the newest nodes from TSMC.

it sucks. Though I say it feels even worse when you already go out in a couple dates and develop feelings, and it ends abruptly like that. Or longer like a long term relationship. But it's way better to not try at all.

Anyhow, dating is a numbers game. The more dates you go on, the sooner you realize and you will get used to it. It's also best to not get emotionally attached to someone early on. Take it day by day or by the week. If you also go really hard at the beginning, they will have high expectations too. Which I don't recommend. Also don't make big lies about yourself. People find out. That's my two cents.

The Fastest way to get over someone is to date other people. If you have problem getting dates, work on yourself. Your health, career/finance, social skills, self image.

want to know what sucks too? having a tinder and not receiving a single "like"

can't even get the opportunity to be rejected.

Unless you are looking for hook ups, I'd stay away from it. Also, the dating apps have rigged it these days to make free versions nearly worthless. Subscriptions are pretty much required, and they do help a lot.

CMB is the app
currently have a subscription with (it's about of a glitch fest), and I'm getting more matches vs without, especially due to boost mode. But there's like 10x less people than tinder.

Amazing how they priced MP at 30 bucks which is one of the best rated games of all time, yet they price Zelda and LM2 ports at 60. Of course it all comes down to popularity and trying to create a bigger fanbase for MP4. Still ridiculous.

it was $40. If Prime sold as much as the Mario series, they should have advertised it for $60 too sadly.

Yeah the thumbnail is because of YouTube's algo.

At least the gang members that were with him understand the situation, I think the only small glimmer of hope is that they would throw their weapons down if the state could start getting repaired. But it would take such massive regulation to rehabilitate the country that Idk if it could ever happen. The fact that American weapons are being carried about them is sad as well, which is another part of gun control that people in America don't fathom.

We don't want gun control just to prevent people from being able to go to ranges or shoot cans in their backyard, but to prevent trafficking to war torn countries or areas that have had societal collapse as well. Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, many other countries like that. Awful shit at least the guy managed to get back to report that story

Uploaders can choose their thumb nails. This was 100% intentional.

That's not gonna happen. It's gonna be a hybrid console.

Resident Evil 5 is actually the Resident Evil most in need of a remake. A whole new environmental structure and scenario design that reigns in the action and dials up the horror would bring it in line with capcom's of remakes but all of this doesn't account for Resident Evil 5's most notorious problem: Racism.

All in set in a fictional West African country Resident Evil 5's primary antagonists are black people. Yes it's technically the Oroborus virus that protagonist Chris Redfield is fighting but the parasite's host is depicted as a nation of mobs and Primitives who are violent even before their infection. Intentionally or not Resident Evil 5 positioned Africa as the Dark Continent an uncivilized World harboring a diseased population that needs gunning down via Western intervention in the name of Global Security.

This insensitive treatment of people of color was hotly debated even as early as Resident Evil 5's debut trailer with writers such as eni croll and Steven totillo pointing out the game's uncomfortable postcolonial imagery the arguments and think pieces continued well into the game's release window with IGN's own former editor-in Chief Hillary Goldstein having also wrestled with the subject but that was 2009 a time when race was apparently a debate rather than a reality.

In the 2020s in a post black lives matter World there is only one acceptable response to a white man shooting waves of Africans for an entire video game: "No."

There is one thing I do. I have a job to do and I'm going to see it through remakes may be able to redefine their Source material but there's only so many changes you can make until it's not a remake at all but an entirely new game and if you take Africa out of Resident Evil 5 is it Resident Evil 5 anymore even with a vastly improved more sensitive take on the continent, perhaps one with a black protagonist and a more empathetic look at the outbreak The Experience would simply be too divorced from the original to hold the name Resident Evil 5.

So where does Capcom go now? Personally I'd look backwards code Veronica is an ideal candidate as is the original Resident Evil but if the only way is chronologically forward then a total rewrite of what comes next is the logical path because what followed Resident Evil 4 was not one terrible game but two.

Resident Evil 6 double down no triple down on the action-packed setpiece heavy shooter design to the extent that much of it could be mistaken for a third person Call of Duty spin-off were it not for the monsters its restrictive level design practically puts you in a choke hold forcing you to endure a barrage of bombastic moments that have no interest in evoking any sense of fear Resident Evil 6 is a survival horror only in that it's a horrible game that you have to survivelaying but this time around it doesn't have to be like that.

Capcom now has the opportunity to ignore the past and completely reinvent this chunk of the timeline. In Resident Evil 4 remakes post-credit scene evil mastermind Albert Wesker details his plans for world domination to ad Wong reflected in his glasses is an image of excel gon and the stairway of the sun two significant plot.

Elements from Resident Evil 5 which indicates capcom's intentions butthere's more to consider this scene is largely a replication of the sequence from assignment ADA a non-canon chapter from the original Resident Evil 4 it shift from unofficial to Cannon points to a willingness to change furthermore the end of this scene is completely

Rewritten when learning of wesker's plans rather than dutifully deliver the stolen last plaga sample to to him Ada betrays her shadowy boss and forces her helicopter to turn around. In this moment unclear Capcom has given itself the freedom to do whatever it wants I just hope it's not a remake of Resident Evil 5

Its kinda pointless? Just so some people can get their 4k/ 60 FPS mode at all times. If only there were mods to take advantage of the extra power, but for now doesnt seem worth it.

They're also likely trying to make 8k tvs popular (sell Sony Tvs), and make RT more mainstream

Could also be 4k and higher than 60fps, if the bottleneck is GPU

Many, many outlets are reporting on it.

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/460320/rumor-ps5-pro-specs-revealed-in-leaked-document/

* Rendering 45% faster than PS5
* 2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
* 33.5 Teraflops
* PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling) upscaling/antialiasing solution
* Support for resolutions up to 8K is planned for future SDK version
* Custom machine learning architecture
* AI Accelerator, supporting 300 TOPS of 8 bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point

if it's rendering 45% faster, it's not 33 TFLOPs lol. More like half of that for fp32 numbers at least.

wtf man

Shaving should be banned in the gym. Nobody cleans up after themselves. Just clog up the sink ugh

There were so many things wrong with this debate.

1. It should have never been 5 hours. 2-3 hours tops. At least in the end, there's shorter clips form another account. https://www.youtube.com/@LexClips
2. Destiny should have never been part of the debate. He's not a subject matter expert and he's a disrespectful moron. You have 3 people with PHDs with some fucking dude with an iPad (why is this allowed in a debate) misquoting people and articles and trying to pull "gotchas" at Finkelstein and accusing him of lying. He constantly misunderstands Finkelstein and is just an asshole all around. People give Finkelstein shit for personally insulting him several times from this, but they fail to see that the dude was fed up with his bullshit.
3. There was almost zero moderation. This was the biggest offender outside of bringing Destiny over non sme. Lex Fridman is awful. He may have asked the questions, but he didn't properly mdoerate. Just sat back and relaxed and just waited till it was over until he could edit the video for revenue. People were constantly talking over each other, there should have been time limits for each person IMO, and encouraged people who were hardly talking to talk about certain subjects.

This ep is great and looking forward to the rest. Also there's more to the ep during the end credits so don't skip that.

And when it comes to ads. Come on y'all, I'm sure you've lived through the era before streaming, the ads are short too, you'll live.

They're not..Forced 2 minute ads four times throughout the show that can't be skipped. It's god.awful for a paid subscription that already increases in price every year. There's no need to defend a shitty practice like this that will inspire other streaming sites to do the same.

Fucking YouTube is even better than this shit, and it's free. At least youtube's ads are short and can be skipped, and worked around with ad blockers even.

Fucking amazon and their two minute ads four times. Do I really gotta pay $3 extra for this shit?

oh shit, gotta remember now to watch it tonight
