Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate the reply.

Maybe I’ve been living in a cave or just too old but can someone tell me what BPD is?

The middle one has that Megamind head. 😆

I clicked your link and it loaded fine for me. However, there was a blocked box for a few seconds but it went away and the page looks and functions normally now. Running firefox with ublock.

This seems more like an example of procrastination not technical debt. Technical debt as I understand it requires a previous decision to impeed new decisions/progress because it wasn’t done properly the first time.

A better example would be he wants to add a brick chimney to the roof but can’t because the roof is made of straw thatch and can’t support the weight, so it would need to be rebuilt first out of timber, and then a chimmney can be added.

As a professional vfx artist my daily workloads could easily saturate even the most monstrous cpu. Simulations and rendering will fully peg literally any processor your throw at it. Consider at our offices we have renderfarms with literally thousands of cpu’s and we regularly send jobs that take hours even with all that processing power. So at least in the space of creative development for visual fx and games production, the single cpu advances will always be welcomed, appreciated, and fully utilized.

The latest trends of pricing on the other hand… not so much appreciated (looking at you gpu’s and ram).

I always picture a swashbuckling pirate jumping down my throat, using his knife to slow down his decent like in the cartoons when they did it to the sails on the ship. ☠️

Yeah the reduced visibility has always been a big concern for me. If I had lived in that time period, I feel I would have opted to not wear one unless in a full on battlefield where arrows are raining down.

I’ve always wondered how the fit is on those and how they were to actually wear in battle! I always imagined it to be a nuisance and get in the way of a melee battle. What did you think of the fit?

This street desperately needs some greenery in the form of trees or at least some bushes. This just looks…sad.

Yep, I can’t remember the game anymore, but was super excited to be playing it as a sequel, then came upon the first escort mission… I immediatly turned the game off, and never played it again. Nothing enrages me more than artifically wasting my time/difficulty because the dev’s can’t design a mission properly without using such a shitty crutch…

That should keep the nazi hunters busy for a while, they were running out of targets, but now the pond has been restocked.

I’m a freelancer and a lot of my work apps require Windows or Mac. However, I remote into my company’s work machines, but the remote client doesn’t work in Linux so I have a lowered speced machine just for work, and my personal rig is much more powerful and running linux.

Even if I was freelancing completely with my own machine, I would prefer to have two seperate machines.

That really is strange. I just checked and the list is not the same as it was when I posted the link.🤔 Not sure what’s going on with the site, but I have seen many products get poor marks on there. I remember when optimum nutrition protein failed because of heavy metals. They used to show the full reports for free, now you need a membership to the site to see the full reports.

That’s why you have to do research and not just trust the labels. Labdoor (a third party testing site) has lots of proteins tested, lead and other heavy metals are part of the testing.

Just waiting for the day crowds of people like this start showing up in unmarked vans and kidnapping ICE right back. Just start swarming them and grabbing them into vans and see how they like it.

Whatever that color scheme is for all the US national parks. They picked the ugliest shades of brown and green I have ever laid eyes on. Every time I go to a national park, the facilities painted in those colors gives me a deep depression…

Yep I absolutely refuse to put any banking apps on my phone. The only thing that has access to my bank is me physically going there or logging into their website via my own computer. Fuck any app that asks for access to my bank account including autopay services through third parties.

The only third party service I use for payments is paypal and that only goes to my credit card.

It’s for sure more in the hack and slash style of game play, which I can understand doesn’t fit into the witcher world that well. I just feel there is a balance to be had. I have not played the any of the dark souls series yet but I have played Sekiro, and while I think for my preference it could be a bit more responsive, I feel it achieved a good balance and is very playable.

Yep tried to play Witcher 3 several times and gave up because of the ultra janky controls. I work in the industry and I just don’t understand how control schemes can still be so shitty when other games have nailed it as far back as N64. That’s not even counting how much I despise the overall industry shift towards prioritizing flowery character animations over player input, so your character always feels like there is a huge lag between player input and onscreen actions because your character is still doing the 4th twirl on his sword strike from the button you pushed 8 buttons ago…

In my opinion all characters in games should be as responsive as a fighting game when it comes to input and onscreen actions. I think the Ninja Giaden series nailed this down perfectly, compared to this level of responsiveness pretty much every modern game I’ve played feels like the characters are underwater.
