Better frame rates.

You'll want better interpolation. We can already get really good framerates but nothing is recorded in those framerates.

Additionally there are some diminishing returns when it comes to video games.


I'd rather see them improve input delay. Computer monitors have been hovering at 1-2ms for years now whereas some of the best "gaming TVs" are still around 10ms and even major brands are putting out 30-40ms input delay TVs.

Depth of color and SWAP (size, weight, and power). Remember when HD TVs first came out and they were the size of a small car? Then Plasma came out and they were thin but like 200 lbs? I suspect we'll see a big leap in those things next since the content has yet to catch up to 4K and ISPs are screaming for an excuse to throttle things.

So expect something like an affordable 4K tv that you can roll up, stuff in a tube, and take with you places.

S0nicfan seems irrationally upset over this movie for some reason

When I don't like something, I just disregard it and go on with my day. This dude has been in just about every Black Panther topic posted on here, crying about the same thing. That dedication though.


There's been someone like metralo in EVERY topic proclaiming that anyone that thinks this isn't the second coming of jesus is racist. That's literally the only reason I've posted in any BP topic on CE. Go check out the comics board and you'll see nobody is levying that accusation. It's only on CE where that tactic is used.

We in the Black Community have been excited for Panther since Civil War. We broke pre-sale ticket records. It's not a moment that will go down in history but we've been waiting for this for over a year only to find out from previews and early reviews that it's actually a good movie, no shit we excited.


That's great. I'm glad you're excited, and I hope the movie does really well. I'll probably see it in a few weeks once its easier to get a ticket. The part I bolded is the piece I think most people are missing.

before Deadpool dropped, people were giving it titles of greatness, too. it really looks like you're just splitting hairs because there is no REAL difference.

being overly critical out of resentment of other people's excitement is pretty petty, tbh.


Show me where I'm being overly critical, though. I haven't stated a single opinion on the movie and whether I think it's good or bad. I don't reset people who will enjoy it, or are excited for it. Literally all I did was highlight that people are annoyed with the tone of the press coverage prior to release. If I said that some upcoming game was the single most important moment in gaming and anyone who disagreed was just a hater, I would expect people to call me out on hyperbole. This is no different.


so your entire argument is about other people being insecure about other people's joy? sounds like something not worth even mentioning.


Don't be so reductionist. It makes you look disingenuous.


how does dismissing an argument that I feel lacks merit make me look disingenuous? what do you believe I'm misunderstanding about your argument?

I don't find it necessary to defend my taste, my excitement or anything else for the sake of other people's insecurities. why should anybody feel the need to criticize another person's hype over something?


You're reduced the entire societal "conversation" about the movie down to "I'm insecure about other people's joy". It's not about an individual's hype. It's about being told something is important when it isn't, and then being called a racist for disagreeing.

Why are people on CE coming after Black Panther SPECIFICALLY?

Why not go after Logan like this? Why not go after Deadpool like this? Why not go after most of the other Marvel movies that have comparable reviews to this?

I'm going to look into what stark difference this film has from the other ones that is pissing people off so much but I'm worried about what I'm going to find.....


Logan and Deadpool weren't heralded as a "moment in history". I don't know how many times I have to keep saying that before people stop playing stupid as to where the criticisms came from. A better comparison would be the Ghostbusters reboot.


Are you high? Deadpool absolutely was heralded as a moment in history. It was the first major R rated Marvel film and it outperformed all the rest. People went on and on about it for months. I think my comparison couldn't have been better. FYI I know the reason why you people hate it I'm just trying to give you the opportunity to give some other excuse. But if that's the best excuse you could come up with then I guess what others said is true. It's based on the first word of the film....


I don't hate it, though, so if you're going to begin the discussion with "you're a bigot" before even engaging with me on the topic then you're a piece of shit.


I'm not saying he's right, but you still haven't elaborated.

Also this:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/black-panther-is-a-critical-step-toward-representation-in-hollywood-2018-02-14

Deadpool was highlighted as a risky film that could be hurt or helped by its R rating until it was released. Black Panther, PRIOR to anyone seeing it, has been called "the most important blockbuster in years" and also a "moment in history."

I bring up Ghostbusters because it's the same thing. People praising it for what it represents and now how it is as a movie. It's not the "first" anything without like a dozen qualifiers. Just let it be a good movie.

No but they were both hyped like crazy. I saw the line "best superhero movie ever" several times with Logan. Neither were questioned to the degree that BP is.


Like I said, a better comparison is Ghostbusters, another movie that tried to act like it was a super important cultural moment, and ALSO relied heavily on "if you don't agree you're a bigot", and ALSO received the same backlash. People just don't want this shit crammed down their throat and then told they have to enjoy it. They want to just go watch the movie and enjoy it for being a good movie.

I don't know. I don't agree with the "zealous national fervor." China is not as anti-West as the Soviet Union was during their height. China loves western culture and they travel to the US more than any country. I don't see them being this jingoistic force the way the Russians were.


It's not about them being anti-west. It's about their unity surrounding their own government. They're nearly impossible to culturally influence because they have an incredible amount of faith in their own system, and if their government declares "we should all hate X" they get far more traction out of that than any other nation. It's the threat of being able to mobilize a people's will and focus it like a laser beam that is terrifying.

It's not really a brain drain for people to move to the US solely for undergrad education and then leaving. In addition, those students usually have to pay full tuition and so universities love to have them.


Yea, I couldn't think of a better phrase to describe it, though. Much like getting US companies to build their roads, its more like using far better resources to rapidly advance at a pace far faster than they could on their own, and in return offering nothing of real value (tuition compared to access to the literal cutting edge of research is nowhere close to a fair trade).

If you get let go you can collect unemployment. If you quit you can't. Shouldn't you think of this as a surprise windfall of luck? One final revenge, as it were.


My buddy told me about this. Three questions.

How do I know if I was fired or let go?

Will me travelling overseas be a problem for unemployment?

And finally, are there any downsides to this? There's always something.


I don't think there's a difference between fired and let go. The company can always contest your unemployment by arguing you were removed for doing something illegal, but they'd have to provide evidence. Either way, "let go" is much easier to get unemployment than "fired" because there's no associated cause.

You travelling won't be a problem if you maintain a permanent address in the states, although being able to cash said checks might be hard.

Downsides? None that I know of. This is kind of what unemployment was made for.

The number of Chinese coming to the US to get an American education and then going home is staggering. Plus Chinese investors are buying land, companies... they'll own us before they fight us. Russia can't do any of this shit.

Probably by far the biggest reason I voted for Trump was because he took a particularly hard stance against China. I know people like to talk about Russia, but Russia is a rotting corpse of a world power struggling to stay relevant. China scares the fuck out of me.


can you elaborate on the bolded?


Their economy isn't going anywhere, they produce nothing of real value beyond natural resources, their government is basically built to support 1 man and shit's gonna get bad when he dies, and they have few allies and fewer real places where they can influence outside of military might.

China has been stealing IP for decades and through currency manipulation have basically gotten the rest of the world to fund their infrastructure projects (they do this thing where to get their cheap labor you have to build a town for their workers). They're growing at a crazy rate, have access to a massive amount of rare natural resources, their people have a zealous national fervor, they've actually managed to control social media (unlike Russia). The world is afraid to piss them off and all the while they're building a competitive navy, a space program, and everything else necessary to begin to play with the big boys in soft power.

EDIT: Really, and I'm being completely serious here, our obsession with Russia because it makes our president look bad is hurting us significantly in our ability to adapt to the real threat. The fact that China has effectively locked down the South China Sea (and the largest stockpile of rare earth metals on the planet) is shameful. The amount of "land" they've taken with their ocean power play makes Crimea a literal joke.

EDIT X2: Seriously, look at it. Look at how much they're claiming ownership of that other countries also claim and realize nobody is doing shit to stop them, but Russia doing a land grab in a country nobody gives a shit about with no actual value has been the talk of the town for years now:

are you out of your fuckin mind? she has no right to dictate who does and doesn't get to voice their political opinion.


You are 100% correct that she has no right to dictate who does and doesn't get to voice their political opinion. Her response was to people calling her racist for saying it to a black man, and she listed off all the other times she's told other people the same thing. It's fair for her to defend against completely baseless racism claims because people like TC will take the comment in a vacuum and then label her something she (at least for this) isn't.

Diablo 2 barbarian with 2 mana steal rings and/or health/mana steal enchantments on both swords was the ultimate spin-to-win. Whirlwind for DAYS.

Indictment doesn't give qualifiers like most or couple, stop lying.


Indictments don't, but Facebook has already revealed all the ads purchased BY the agency being indicted. I linked to them earlier in the topic. You can decide exactly what you think "most" is in terms of percentage, but it's very clearly over 50%. Maybe try reading the topic first before saying shit like this.

Bullshit. Your entire stance to defend Trump at every moment and consistently attack "leftist/liberals/sjws/etc" over some victim complex you have where you view any criticism from them, legit or not, as complete bullshit that you need to attack.


Funny, because in this topic I'm providing sourced information to back up my claims, and you're attacking my character based on whatever label you've decided best allows you to ignore what I'm saying, so between the two of us and how we're actually behaving, I'm inclined to think maybe you're just not entirely honest.

So given the history of special councils, when we're in year 3 of Trump's presidency and there's still no charges, are we then allowed to start laughing openly?


Except you're already doing that, so you can't play that card lmao


So? In 3 years when I'm still doing that, will you stop complaining and maybe accept it's valid? I'm less concerned about when I can start saying it and more concerned when YOU will start believing it.

If they find there was collision, will you believe it?


Of course, because they'll have all the evidence to prove it. I don't know if you believe ME when I say I'll believe it, but I would.

Not certain, it does seem you let partisan politics dictate how you interpret information.
Not just gonna claim to know how you would react.


Usually the only reason I jump in on interpreting information is because partisan politics have ALREADY biased it and I'm just tipping the scales. For example: The TC indicated that the russian people indicted:
during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump.


What the TC failed to mention (see post https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/76325730#19) is that the group being indicted bought facebook ads, MOST of which were either pro-hillary or pro-BLM, and only a couple that supported Trump, because their goal was to divide the country.

My stance has been pretty consistently "Trump does enough dumb shit on his own, so stop making up more shit because it weakens your entire platform." I'd rather people judge him on his actual actions and not spinning reality to turn him into Hitler.
