| Trumble 02/16/21 12:39:16 PM #40 | Th3Truth posted... Everyone's wearing masks still right?lmao nope. I went to the supermarket yesterday, and the only other person I saw wearing a mask was the greeter. It's not so much an anti-mask sentiment, as such - you certianly won't get hassled for wearing one - more just apathy. Apparently in the major cities things are a bit better tho, especially Auckland (since that's where the cases - so far - actually are). Thighon posted... I'm so unreasonably envious of those of you who were born in New Zealand. Cherish that you have a country that seems to give a shit about its populace. That sounds like a fairy tale. Imagine, caring about your citizens. Imagine having a conscientious community. The thing about NZ is that we tend to judge ourselves by the standard of "are we as good as we could be?", rather than "are we better than the United States?". And right now, while our covid response might be an A+ on the latter measure, it's a B at best on the former. I'd look to the likes of Western Australia or Taiwan if I was looking for someone to grant A+ to (okay, Taiwan might have slipped to an A at this point). vigorm0rtis posted... Didn't know that. Huh. We do have "regions", but that's more to do with councils (as mentioned above). In particular, regions don't set their own laws for the most part - they have control over things like alcohol licencing, speed limits, zoning, etc, but a region couldn't unilaterally eg. legalize cannabis or set different penalties for crimes (not even in the "I'm ignoring federal law and doing it anyway" sense that Colorado etc have done the former in).

I thought about getting a few retail games for it but there are none for it that interest me. PSP had two Metal Gear Solids and a Final Fantasy 7 spinoff, Vita doesn't even have Parappa the Rapper. Vita has a lot of really good indies (of course not exclusive to it, but as in "were new at the time, and you can play them on it"), but yeah, mainstream titles are pretty limited.

| Topic | Is there any evidence that canceling/ alienating/deplat'ing pushes people right? |
| Trumble 02/15/21 12:19:24 PM #4 | Deplatforming can limit their audience and thus reduce spread of the ideas, but the "shaming" tactics usually don't work, because the only people who'll join in are people who were always against the target in the first place (or always would have been if they knew them). There's always the risk of the Streisand Effect too, although most of the stuff that people get targetted by "cancel culture" for is widely spread enough that it's more about "who supports it?" rather than any possibility people might not have heard the views themself yet. --- I was gonna write a funny sig, but then I got... |

I have it packed away somewhere (regretfully), but it is probably the coolest and most underrated gaming thing I've sever seen and I have no idea why Sony didn't fucking continue to support it. You literally have this small device, the size of a smartphone, that can plug in to a TV and play most Vita/PS Classic games via a DS3/DS4 controller. Because you can buy a Raspberry Pi or Odroid-XU4 for a fraction of the cost and... without going into details due to the ToU, let's just say that you can achieve far more than just PS Classics. And yes, you can use a DS3 or DS4. --- I was gonna write a funny sig, but then I got... |

| Trumble 02/14/21 11:16:17 PM #32 | vigorm0rtis posted... You all are doing pretty well. It's a pandemic, you can't just hermetically seal the nation. The fact that steps are being taken at a federal level is impressive. At least, I'm impressed. There is no such thing as "federal" vs "state" in NZ. You might be thinking of Australia, but they do indeed handle most of it at the state level. Alternatively, you might be thinking of the local councils in NZ, but their authority is pretty much limited to city planning type shit. Of course, this has to be taken in the context of that our entire country is smaller, both physically and in terms of population, than most states in any country that has states (or an equivalent). Japan is the only exception to come to mind, and even that one's only an exception on the "physically" side. --- I was gonna write a funny sig, but then I got... |
| Topic | How do people choose a new windows laptop? |
| Trumble 02/14/21 8:54:17 PM #22 | Your bottom lines if you want a general-purpose laptop are a recent i3 or Ryzen 3, or better, CPU. To tell if it's recent, look at the four or five digit model number after the "i3" / "i5" / etc designation. The first digit tells you which generatoin it is, eg. i7 6700 is 6th-generation. For Intel (i3 etc) you want at least 8th gen and preferably 10th; for AMD (Ryzen 3 etc) you want at least 3rd. (It's important to note the generation should only be used when comparing the same brand, not to compare the two brands to each other.) That aside, you want 8GB RAM and 256GB solid state drive. A little bit lower than 256GB is okay - 240 is fine for example - but you don't want to be getting something with ~128GB, it'll fill up way too quickly. If you're after a gaming laptop, up that to an i5 / Ryzen 5 (same generations are still fine), and you might want either a larger SSD or a "small SSD + big HDD combo" setup (you should still try to get 256GB at least for the SSD if possible). You'll also want a decent GPU, I believe a GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060 is considered good as a "cheapish but still solid" GPU these days, but I could very well be wrong as I'm not too up to date on the GPU side of things. But yeah - most important things, do NOT get Celeron / Pentium / Athlon CPUs, and don't settle for less than 256ish GB SSD. --- I was gonna write a funny sig, but then I got... |
