Saw a clip of Neuro being surprised about the news. Some days later, apparently the AI was contemplating graduating. Crazy stuff.

@LukeAlmighty I think the lore behind that part is that it's technically not a laser per se. It's supposedly not photons. It's main energy output is not heat energy, but kinetic energy. And I assume he manages to melt things because when the kinetic energy hits, and has nowhere to go, it starts converting into heat energy in the object it hits (kinda like how you can supposedly cook meat by repeatedly slapping it).
>but then why don't the glasses heat up, because the beam does hit them
Not sure tbh. But I generally got the impression that the glasses reflect the beam back at the source, his eyes. Which... well, if they can generate something that weird, they can probably take it back in too. I also heard that the eyes technically don't generate the beams, but rather they act as a portal to some weird ass dimension where this energy just exists everywhere. So the energy just escapes through his eyes.

But again, most of the things I know about X-Men come from the animated shows, especially the original 90s run. So my knowledge is as accurate as those shows were.

But is it quite fascinating to see the lengths various writers went to to explain some of these physically impossible powers.

>create translucent glass capable of letting all of the external light through
That's the neat part. It doesn't. It actually blocks most colors. I think it somehow only lets the red part of the spectrum through. Or at least that's how it has been portrayed in adaptations. Maybe it works differently in the source material.

I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly how it was taught to me in school, but I think it was more of a "this electron bumps into and pushes the next electron over, which bumps and pushes the next one, etc".

Imagine how broken this movie has to be for it to end up being funny in German of all languages.
Cause everyone obviously knows Germans for their joyful humor. /s

Before 2015, I consistently used to rewatch the original trilogies every couple of years at most. I don't think I've watched any of them since 2015. What Disney did just put me off from rewatching them anymore. Even if they put them in theaters here, I wouldn't go and give Disney money.

Russians fear the crabs... Zelensky, take notes!

@BasedLunatic
The only way the numbers make sense to me is if:
1) you assume every single one of those 22 million fentanyl pills results in an overdose
2) by "saving" you also include family members "saved" from having to grieve a death of a loved one.

@BasedLunatic
I've stopped using Twitter since about 2018-2019. So I honestly wouldn't know just how bad it is.

@cjd @LukeAlmighty
Yes, you basically get put into groups of interest, and get fed the same videos that everyone else in those groups gets fed.
But at times, you get things that don't fit neatly in those groups of interest either, and I have had countless occasions of getting videos I wasn't interested in and didn't watch, but then I see people on here talking about or referencing that video. So from what I can tell, every once in a while YouTube throws a couple of random videos to everyone, to try to get people to expand their areas of interest, and get them to watch even more stuff.

@cjd @LukeAlmighty
While true, people severely overestimate how personalized YouTube's algorithm is.

Did you set up fstab to automount removable storage?
Also, this kind of thing is why I always disable the fancy splash screen for any Linux distro I use. I want to see the wall of text, so I can see any error that pops up, anything unusual in the boot process.

CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!

@wowaname @djsumdog
First time I actually watched a scene of the movie... and OH MY GOD, the green screen is SOOOO bad. I've seen two-bit YouTubers from a decade ago do a better job. Jesus...

@icedquinn @VD15
Haven't played it. Heard the gist of the main story plot, and it sounds utterly stupid and nonsensical. As for the rest of the game... I wonder if people kept on playing it on autopilot, hoping that sooner or later the "good part" will start and the game will magically lock in.
And until they finished it, they were unable to process that the game wasn't improving.

Almost any game is gonna have that slow start, when you're still in the tutorial section, being handhold, still learning all the tools the game gives you, etc. So you're not gonna be overly critical of the game during that time. You're gonna keep grinding, pushing through that bad part, until the game opens up.
Because something like Starfield is so large (or maybe some other factors), I wonder if people got tricked into staying in that mindset for the entire game. And then only when witnessing that the game ended, were they able to dispel that mental fog, and finally realize they weren't in the tutorial. That WAS the game. And it was bad.

Again, I haven't played it. That's just my speculation.

As for Oblivion Remaster, to my understanding from what I hear, it is still kinda using the Creation Engine (or potentially its predecessor, Gamebryo) for the gameplay itself, animations, interactions, probably the physics, but then it sends the 3D rendering part to an Unreal Engine wrapper.

So you get the worst of both worlds. You get the buggy nature of the original Creation Engine, and you also get the high system requirements of the modern, badly optimized Unreal Engine. Quite an achievement.

Though, truth be told, I don't know if I'd want an Oblivion Remaster without the classic Oblivion quirks. A part of the charm of the old TES games (which now Skyrim qualifies as if you ask me) was the bugs.

Maybe an Oblivion remake would be a better place to resolve the bugs, improve quests, fix game mechanics, etc. Or a project like Skyblivion, which is more of an engine port (and I hear Bethesda isn't planning on shutting them down, which is good). But it looks like the Remaster really tried to keep as much as possible intact, for better or worse, to keep the spirit of the game as it is... even if it is deeply flawed.

@icedquinn @VD15
I stopped looking into things around when it was reported that modders gave up trying to fix Starfield. But I assumed that the game manage to sell well enough anyway, and that it was profitable for them. I had no clue of people saying they lost their hype for Elder Scrolls because of it.

(btw, I honestly forgot what the name of the game even was, and I didn't even care enough to google it for my post. Thanks for reminding me.)

@VD15
Honestly... considering how gaming studios are today, considering last Bethesda game was... maybe not quite a failure, but not great either... I think those people are better off thinking Oblivion Remaster is ES6. They may be happier this way. Because I don't see ES6 being a better game than even Skyrim, let alone Oblivion.

They deserve each other.
