Most other games will just say something like:
“Some changes require a restart to take effect”
Maybe B4 tried something new where instead of a 2 minute restart, it fucks up your game for up to 15 minutes?
Like, shit is unusual, but I don’t have the game, I’m just going off what I see in articles.
They’re hoping people will get sucked into the game, and stop caring the graphics suck.
If you jump straight from an optimized game to B4, it’s going to suck. They want you to keep playing till your brain adjusts.
But if you’re coming out of 120fps twitch shooter…
It’s gonna take a lot longer than 15 minutes to get used to AI upscaled fake frame 60fps instead
Gearbox has also issued a piece of advice to PC gamers that to me reads like an effort to prevent players from making knee-jerk reactions to the game’s performance as soon as they’ve changed their settings: “Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC’s performance has changed.”
Pretty sure if that’s really happening, it’s a unique problem
Maybe if you’re changing just resolution, but for 99% of setting changes it has nothing to do with shaders.
The discord screenshots from Ken Klippenstein are legit, and accurately reflect how that age group talks…
Those are almost positively real, as are the screenshots of his reddit account.
The “text messages” between him and his roommate tho…
The language is completely different. Vocab, grammar, punctuation, everything. The “texts” the FBI released just don’t match with anything else. And it’s like he went down a checklist of everything prosecution would need for trial.
And the sheer fact that they’re releasing those is fucking insane.
The only logical reason those texts ever would have happened, would be some actual 4d chess shit where those two knew the government wouldn’t be able to keep something like that till trial and would release it immediately which has a good chance to get a trial thrown out in a fair court system
That’s just incredibly unlikely though
Occam’s razor is the FBI faked the texts
When?
Why do you think so many use surrogates now?
They’re 100% at least doing illegal selections, but I would be shocked if none of them are doing out right editing.
Removed by mod
Those all seem to be modded by the same two accounts with identical names…
It’s going to be waaaaaay easier to just block their accounts, then to block all the weird communities they keep making.
Stuff like this is very unlikely to have active communities, just unhinged moderates who spam their special interest constantly.
Whats really fucking annoying is the guy who has accounts on 20 different instances and keeps making them to spam the same bullshit
Hit refresh and reset buttons and wonder why my devices don’t work
David Wong wrote a book where time would stop, but he actually put thought into it. So like, a field of grass was basically a field of razor blades because nothing else could move.
Fog and clouds could be walked on, a bunch of other stuff that made sense but is rarely thought of.
I think it was “This book is full of spiders”
Americans graduate from 12th at 17/18
So I think I’d have been 12, and it was a public generic school
And if that sounds too early, hunting season started like a week earlier than the class and another 12 year old in my class already had his license (lots did) but that kid climbed a fence with a loaded shotgun while hunting and blew off a couple of his toes.
So like, it’s hard to argue it was “too early” because the kids were already running around unsupervised with guns.
Before Columbine people would go hunting before school and if they didn’t get anything they’d come straight to school with their gun in the back window of their truck. After they just stopped leaving them clearly visible.
since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns
What?
I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting with a gun after.
A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.
Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.
But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.
so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?
So yeah, pretty much.
What an idiot…
He just insulted all his customers and put “/sarcasm” at the end more like a “just a joke bro” instead of any actual sarcasm.
That’s not how any of this works…
The price point is static, $X for a console game.
It’s weirdly like socialism. A game like GTA knows they’ll sell a shit ton of copies for years after release. Likely on multiple console generations. All those customers subsidize each others portion of the development cost.
It’s economics of scale, the greater expected sales, the less profit margin the corporation will accept.
Niche games come with a niche tax. It’s not unique to gaming.
BG3 was insanely cheap tho when accounting for scale. It was easily 2-3 games worth of content for the price of 1 game.
And the reason it was able to achieve the scale it did, was people bought the shit out of it on presale.
I looked and checked, I bought it almost 3 years before it released. Because act 1 was already playable, and already the length of a regular 2020 full release.
Despite “never pre-order a digital good” being sound advice 99.99999% of the time, the studio and IP and it being 20 some years since the last entry made it able to fund its own development.
Expecting anyone else to replicate that absolute perfect storm that allowed for BG3 is just going to lead to constant dissapointment.
Young earth creationism
What I hate so much about that, is all the “evidence” just points to some near extinction level event that humans worldwide suffered.
And obviously for that to have happened, it means there had to be a lot more people.
Like, entire cities/tribes/whatever were wiped out everywhere, but some had individuals survive. Which explains how “the last two people” could have kids who just happen to later have spouses and kids of their own without any explanation for where the new people came from.
They were just outside of walking distance.
Over the 300,000 plus years anatomically modern humans have been on Earth, that’s probably happened a bunch. Hell, we’ve had 2-3 actual ice ages over that span.
We don’t know shit about 250k of those years.
What rise?
A single.person on the right was shot, and historically it’s still most likely the person who pulled the trigger was another far right extremist.
The only unique thing recently is it was a fascist bigot who was shot.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state
He was one of the only MAGA that wasn’t letting Epstein go, and he was all about everyone having guns
trump desperately wants people to stop talking about Epstein. And has always hated regular people being able to have guns.
I don’t think a cop accidentally shot him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump had him shot.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state within 24 hours
That’s not how you handle an investigation…
Now, a study that recorded patterns of brain activity in 15 participants suggests that colours are represented and processed in the same way in the brains of different people. The findings were published in the Journal of Neuroscience on 8 September1.
"Now we know that when you see red or green or whatever colour, that it activates your brain very similarly to my brain,” says study co-author Andreas Bartels, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Tubingen and the Max Planck Institute, both in Tubingen, Germany. “Even at a very low level, things are represented similarly across different brains, and that is a fundamentally new discovery.”
Yeah, but not everyone gets the same signal sent to their brain…
It’s not just “normal” or colorblind, everyone has a different ratio of different rods/cones. Which is what signals your brain.
And that’s not even getting into how some languages don’t differentiate between like green/blue, so adults from there are dog shit are telling the two apart, even when they’ve learned a new language and understand to most people there is a difference.
Which is interesting because the average human eye can differentiate about a million colors, and we have far less names for colors than that. So if we invented new names, we’d start “seeing” more colors because our brains aren’t just being lazy about it.

Tldr:
We need to make blurple a real thing.
Saints was just a way to appeal to polytheists back when everyone hadnt moved on from multiple gods.
That fertility goddess? She was a person, and now she’s a saint and a road to jeebus. Some chief whose corpse you’ve been carrying around for 100 years? Perfectly cool, lots of Christian churches did the same thing.
Especially for Catholics, praying to a saint is like calling God’s secretary, that’s why they all have their own fields like “gaming”.
Locals got a way to continue existing rites and festivals, the local leader got to tell the church they were converted, and no invasion “had” to happen.
It was the franchizification of millennia old religions that are practically extinct today.
They absolutely think they are doing good…
Pretty unanimously, the most evil people to walk the planet all legitimately believe they’re the good guys.
Almost no one sees themselves as a villain, that’s just how the human brain is wired.
People not understanding this, is why evil shit keeps fucking happening.
If you just keep writing them off as “villains” doing evil for the sake of evil, we’ll never learn how to stop it. That literally why they keep coming back.
