I feel like we should aim for 2TB RAM as a standard, so games could easily load directly from RAM.

There's no going back. The bloat is real.Or just be better at developing games

Really is
These developers can't code thier games for shit
I know it's fixed but a recent example is the latest Jedi Survivor game. Ran so bad at launch

Gave some random woman a tenner out of the cash point at the corner shop who was almost certainly about to go round the corner and smoke crack.
Practically always say no or make an excuse as you can be totally sure most of the time that they just wanna get high or drunk but here I was only 99.9% (though sometimes I say I'll be happy to get a sandwich and warm drink myself if they look homeless), best case scenario there's a 1/1000 chance I just helped someone who needed it. But if not (almost certainly the case) the performance was insane, I felt like I short changed her, an Oscar would've been fitting. The details were on point, the story was tight. I'm still in awe, if I was a movie producer I would've hired her on the spot.
Folks outside the shop looked at me and said "you're a mug", to which I said "I know. Not gonna miss the tenner, there's a miniscule chance I just gave the benefit of the doubt to someone who needed it, but if not she deserves it for the performance". Still feel a little torn on almost certainly reinforcing habits but then I threw twenty in the hospice collection box so hopefully that balances out the karma.

"Fire" is kind of an amazing thing. You can basically start it from literally scratch and it only needs air (like we anyways) and something to burn. Then it basically could go on for an eternity, relentlessly scorching anything in its way. It only stops if it either runs out of air/something to burn, or if you kill it. It's magnificently destructive, even more so than we are.

Playoff baseball is simultaneously the best and worst thing in professional sports. You cannot beat it for stress and tension when your team is in it. Nothing comes close.

Yeah, my Texas Rangers won it all last year and I agree. It's such a rollercoaster ride.
They missed the playoffs this year which sucks, but at least I can watch the rest of the season in peace, lol.

My thoughts when I do something like this regardless of if it is an individual or charity, once the money leaves my hand, it is no longer mine. I made the right decision out of kindness and if the benefactor of that money makes the wrong one that is on them.

Nah, you did the right thing and it doesn't really matter what she did with the money.
If you think about it, Sony took our money and put it on Concord, that's way worse than crack.

Anyone else work better when you're either high, or drunk? Serious question.

Not a thought but a fun co-inky-dink to share.
I used to watch House M.D. a lot around the time it came out but always wanted to watch from the beginning, so recently picked up the Blu-rays.
My aunt who I haven't seen in a while called and asked if I can have a gander in my dad's attic for some of my granddad's old documents. She called to ask me this right as I hit play on the Pilot.
I knew that Hugh Laurie was born near where I lived and his dad was a GP there too. But upon searching through my gramp's documents the following day, I found a medical letter of his which has been marked by a William Laurie.
The simulation is winking.

Only %5 of the entire ocean of the Earth has been explored. According to most scientific data, the Earth's oceans cover approximately 139 Million square miles (361 million square kilometers), which represents around 71% of the planet's surface area.
The average depth of the ocean is 3,682 meters (12,080 feet). The deepest part of the ocean is the "Challenger Deep" in the Mariana Trench, which is 10,935 meters (35,876) feet deep. The image below is roughly what the planet looks like with no oceans, minus the area(s) around North and South Pole.

I sometimes have eery but realistic dreams where I can see the vivid detail of my surroundings in my dreams. However, I don't know anyone around me in said dream but I'm there with people anyway. Then, I wake up and wonder if I'm experiencing this in another dimension and things are just overlapping with ours. I'm glitching in my sleep.

I was thinking about postings on the internet, and to a broader extent "arguing" in general, and how lots of it basically qualifies as "prose", with all the bullshit you spew into it to make a point.
I feel like I'm losing some nuance in translation already, in german this "Prose" word has this very fairy tail kind connotation, so it's basically inherently a euphemism for shitposting.
There's no point to be made here, that was just the set up.
Then I got very confused. Because surely this concept couldn't be called "prose", what the fuck kinda name is that? Isn't "pro se" what you call when you represent yourself in court and such?
Nah, turns my stoned ass brain just can't handle homonyms. Alas, here I'll be stone cold sober the next day, talking shit about how the japanese language is actually the one that's completely messed up :3

Just saw a bit about tipping at the beginning of Seinfeld. I think I'm done tipping at the counter. For anything. Sit down service I'll tip but no more for overpriced coffee or doughnuts. No one ever thanks you for a tip at the counter anyway so..

I was at a bowling alley a couple weeks with a buddy. At the snack bar we bought some drinks and pizza slices. The credit card terminal popped up that screen asking if we wanted to add on 15%, 18%, or 20% tip.
Ya. Not kidding. The bowling alley snack bar.

I always tip. But for some reason they mostly decline my tip. SHM.

Wow, just reading about the Uzumaki anime that toonami produced...wtf.
The drop in quality from the 1st to 2nd episode is insane. Apparently it's a different director and studio. I was really looking forward to this cause the teasers have looked amazing.

has anyone else noticed that the state of the English language is deteriorating more and more due to the influence of the internet?
first people couldn't tell the difference between there, their and they're
then they thought could've and should've is "could of" and "should of"
now I see more and more people mix up worse and worst... you'll see stuff like "this is the worse" and "X is worst than Y"
a few start doing it and it spreads like wildfire. it wasn't that long ago when I saw worst and worse being mixed up on rare occasions. now it's everywhere...

Edited for typos on a tablet.
I agree wholeheartedly.
People I work with cannot distinguish between commendation and accommodation. (We use those words a lot at my job.) That one triggers me.
Punctuation is non-existent and so is capitalization.
Everyone makes up their own shorthand and abbreviations. A person at my job abbreviates the word per as pr. Seriously? It is a three letter word with one vowel. Why are we abbreviating that?
Don’t get me started on people constantly getting common cliches and phrases wrong…
I acknowledge that not everyone is skilled the same when it comes to writing. I am naturally adept at spelling, definitions, and general vocabulary. (As a trade-off, I cannot handle math at all haha). I don’t expect people to write like Harvard professors. But the basic level of basic communication has left the building and no one seems to care.

I was at Subway, they rapidly declined my tip, even i wasn't going to tip. .
The lady was very odd, all I wanted was a tuna sandwich and no drama.

Thank you help forum.
I dont know what happened, but for the past month I think Windows did some update so when I play music on my laptop (I have tons of songs in different playlist folders), it would take a while to load the the folder. On a forum, a guy said Right-Click the folder, go to Properties, go to Customize, and then set the Optimization filter to Music (it defaults as General). Now my folders load fast like before.
Yesterday, I was at a shop doing take out for Thanksgiving dinner with fam. I ordered a tons of shit from the hot station, including 2x orders of pork cutlets and some other shit. An old couple were watching and laughed "hey leave us some" as they wanted it too. There was plenty though. Super nice couple and we chatted for a bit about dinners and they were buying take out too for their dinner. I bought it and went to my car, then circled back to visit a different store in the plaza.
After dropping off the food in trunk, I went to Dollarama to pick up some foil trays because I had a feeling the food needed to be warmed up by the time dinner started and it came in plastic containers. So I planned to tell my bro to put the food in the foils and shove in the oven to warm up.
The same couple was in there again buying stuff too. They musta left right after I left the restaurant and beelined to Dollarama while I went to my car. The old man and I laughed when we saw each other and we briefly chatted again. Then I bought the foils and left. Never had a coincidence like that all within maybe 10 minutes.
