Pouring a good amount of sugar into an ICE vehicle’s gas tank will also … uh… give that car a … tummy ache.
EDIT: Water is more effective, and sand even more so.

Well, if you try not to think about it too hard, you may fall right about wherever Spike does:

… What?
I mean… the alternative is to get hardware (including a monitor) capable of just running the game at an fps/hz above roughly 120 (ymmv), such that your actual eyes and brain do real motion blur.
Motion blur is a crutch to be able to simulate that from back when hardware was much less powerful and max resolutions and frame rates were much lower.
At highet resolutions, most motion blur algorithms are quite inefficient and eat your overall fps… so it would make more sense to just remove it, have higher fps, and experience actual motion blur from your eyes+brain and higher fps.
TAA is kind of the foundation that almost all real time EDIT: raytracing frame upscaling and frame generation are built on, and built off of.
This is why it is increasingly difficult to find a newer, high fidelity game that even allows you to actually turn it off.
If you could, all the subsequent magic bullshit stops working, all the hardware in your GPU designed to do that stuff is now basically useless.
EDIT: I goofed, but the conversation thus far seems to have proceeded assuming I meant what I actually meant.
Realtime raytracing is not per se foundationally reliant on TAA, DLSS and FSR frame upscaling and later framgen tech however basically are, they evolved out of TAA.
However, without the framegen frame rate gains enabled by modern frame upscaling… realtime raytracing would be too ‘expensive’ to implement on all but fairly high end cards / your average console, without serious frame rate drops.
Befor Realtime raytracing, the paradigm was that all scenes would have static light maps and light environments, baked into the map, with a fairly small number of dynamic light sources and shadows.
With Realtime raytracing… basically everything is now dynamic lights.
That tanks your frame rate, so Nvidia then barrelled ahead with frame upscaling and later frame generation to compensate for the framerate loss that they introduced with realtime raytracing, and because they’re an effective monopoly, AMD followed along, as did basically all major game developers and many major game engines (UE5 to name a really big one).



Its like they went to the same school!
RFK Jr has seriously proposed sending drug addicts, which he defines as people taking prescribed medication for mental health reasons, as well as your more stereotypical hardcore drug addicts… to basically agricultural work / detox camps.
No meds, no phone, live in a barracks, do farm work… while you and everyone else are cold turkey quitting heroin, or fentanyl, or ritalin or zoloft or wellbutrin.
Over a decade ago, Obama proposed significantly expanding AmeriCorps, the tea party Republicans basically did everything they could to water down the expansion to amount to basically nothing.
I wonder if Twitter Republicans even know AmeriCorps exists…
Anyway, what we should actually do is mandate that everyone who earns double area median income for 3 years in a 5 year period has to spend 6 months working in a call center, retail, customer service, fast food.


A trillion dollars.
Is a ‘highly conservative estimate.’

From the people who notoriously underestimate costs and failed every audit in my lifetime.
Faaaantastic.


Just saw a recent post about a study into American literacy rates.
54% of American adults have a reading comprehension level of a 5th grader or worse.
Last time I made a post stating that I was surrounded by idiot morons, it got massively downvoted with a whole bunch of people claiming I was acting like a pretentious asshole.
Naw. I’ve got two college degrees. Worked for huge corpos in the past as a software engineer, data analyst, db admin.
Average American adult is functionally illiterate.
Many of us are objectively surrounded by morons.

So I looked into this a bit and…
it appears to be based on whether a word is using Latin or Greek as its etymological basis, for words pertaining to feet.
In Latin… it is ped-… but in Greek… it is pod-.
… And, you are correct, English has a mish mash of both.
But also, a lot of English words referring to children use the Greek derived ped- or pedo- to refer to… children.
…Which is why in British English, the spelling ‘paed-’ is used, to minimize this confusion.
But us clever Americans dropped that, rofl.

Sorry to rain on the parade… but ya’ll know that the prefix indicating something pertains to the foot or ankle is pod-, right?
Podiatry. Podiatrist.
Ped- refers to children.
Pediatrician. Pediatrics.
Was this an actual real post or satire?
I genuinely have no clue.


According to Mutahar:
The Anti Cheat has already been bypassed by a free cheat menu on Windows.
He’s fairly sure he has figured out some kind of way to temporarily bypass (as in, it’ll probably get caught in a few weeks) the linux block by some kind of custom virtualization method (requiring only one GPU) that he says he may explain in detail at some point.
In general, he’s done with playing GTO.

But yeah, obligatory reminder for BattleEye and EasyAntiCheat games that refuse to allow linux play:
All these game devs have to do is flip a switch, click a few options in their developer portals, to allow BattleEye or EAC to work on linux, through Proton.
And its been that way for 3 years, since 2021.
There is literally no reason for games that use these services to not work on linux, the devs just don’t fucking care.


In my experience those kinds of people are Ice Spice fans.
Who think that SSSniperwolf arriving at another person’s house live on Insta and doxxing them during a manic episode is ‘slay’.
This is impossible to 100% confirm or deny with solid evidence at this point but uh…
Good chance it wasn’t just hentai.
It was loli. Drawn CSAM.
