@PurpCat "I have a vagina" with 5 o clock shadow is crazy

@Morghur @PurpCat it's a persona 5 song that is in Smash and that's what the article was about. Nintendo actually responded to that shit and said no, the song doesn't say that, and as far as we know nothing besides social media flaming happened.

@r000t @matrix so it's more like they are expecting/projecting Harris to win and making graphics for it, and then accidentally broadcasting the graphic? That makes sense, I have made graphics in that way before for streams of tournaments. I've always just tested them offline though, never had one slip through the cracks, and I'm not even a professional.

@picandor yeah that's weird to me, I don't really have thoughts appear out of thin air like that. If an intrusive thought is one that causes distress, for me it would be that the thought comes around because I am already distressed. Or any mood correlating to any thought, for that matter.

Impulsive thoughts I get, I guess? It's usually something I liken more to an idea though, like "hey wouldn't it be funny if I rolled out of the car instead of getting out like a normal person?" Like 99% of the time I have an impulsive thought it's for the sake of comedy I just have to take a moment to decide how funny it would be VS how socially acceptable it is in the current context.

Maybe I'm just deranged though who knows lol.

@xianc78 strange man with a hyper focus on niche technologies is awkward when trying to make jokes. Crazy.

@picandor I don't understand the idea of intrusive thoughts. It's not like someone or some other force is planting them in my brain. They're coming from my brain, how can they be intrusive? Sometimes I have weird things I think of but they're not intrusive and I always know the reason for them being there. Do people really have that??

@LukeAlmighty I like it when games come with benchmarks or, at the very least, images of what each graphic setting does alongside the toll they will take on your system. Also the same reason demos are nice, since you can dial in stuff before playing the proper game.

This is another reason why people like consoles though, too. You don't have to fiddle around with any of that, the game just is the way it is.

@Mitsu I hope both you and the bunny can feel better soon

@muffinista RIP, I follow some bots on here. Godspeed to you and all the people who want to keep their bots going.

Ghhh... It's 6am, I'm supposed to be awake to move all day long in an hour and a half. Can't sleep. Really want to work on stuff for my game but the next step is to test a Linux build and my laptop doesn't have Linux and my computer is completely packed. I always get this insane drive to work on shit at the worst times. It's going to be a loooooong day.

@LukeAlmighty it's crazy that games from 20 years ago have a more stable picture than current gen games do. There's no stuttering, no weird shimmering and ghosting, reflections aren't noticeably incorrect and shifting all the time, transparency is actual transparent instead of dithered... I could go on. Even 10 years ago none of this was really an issue. Sure, models and textures aren't of objectively higher quality, but there's nothing in the game that is just constantly ripping you out of the immersion. I actually end up needing to turn screen space reflection off in a lot of games because of how weird it can look. I tend to not use raytracing because of how things can get smeared with it on (which is only just now starting to be kind of fixed).

And of course, not only is the image significantly harder to look at, the games run like shit too and there isn't nearly as much artistry as there used to be. Those old games were running on systems that were using under 1gb of slow RAM.
