People watch it for the trailers/announcements mostly.

This game has a horrendous stutter, don’t buy it until it’s fixed. Thankfully there’s a demo so you can see it for yourself.

It does federate for sure but implementation looks quirky.

Not sure if this is cursed or amazing. Now we need Civ2 total conversion for HoM&M2.

Grounded take: You weren’t necessarily misdiagnosed. Prior to DSM-5 (the psychiatric diagnostic manual) which was published in 2013 you couldn’t be diagnosed with both autism and ADHD. Given that there’s no treatment for autism it didn’t make sense to even consider diagnosing people with autism when they were presenting with ADHD. BPD is somewhat common comorbidity of autism too (this one seems more often misdiagnosed but if meds work then not much reason to doubt it).

My real take: it’s all the same thing presenting in different ways, because we’re all different people, but it’s also uncanny how similar people with autism are in some respects.

How else would you engage in a foreplay with your laptop?

I have ThinkPad at work which is pleasant enough to touch due to rubberised plastic but wanking with it sounds tricky because of how stiff it’s hinges are.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

They mean Microsoft Access.

Sounds like an argument for pirating if you feel like it, regardless of everything else. Can’t say I agree with this one even if there are good reasons to pirate in plenty of cases.

Wouldn’t you want to skip Nintendo games so that they stop being culturally relevant? I often hear that piracy is good for media creators in the long run.

Sony is working on a proper handheld and introduced low power mode to PS5 which sounds suspiciously same as introducing new power profile that can be reused in that handheld. Given rising prices of electronics in the US it looks like we’re in for a very cross-gen generation.

Absolute trash source.

No Silksong in the top 20

I thought „groundbreaking” would be sufficient indication of sarcasm, sorry. They discovered a correlation and went wild with it but to be honest science and medicine are rediscovering basic facts about autism all the time - this is just one more example. At this point science is also a bit to blame - we’re producing countless papers that are just data collecting because they don’t even attempt to find causal links, making it easy for politicians to spin it however they want. This is a double edged sword in any case because RFK could say it’s the Jews that are the problem tomorrow using exact same data.

They discovered that there’s more neurodivergent people among ethnic Jews? Groundbreaking.

I’ve been told I’ve been grandfathered into legacy pricing on multiple occasions by multiple companies only to have every single one of them force me off old pricing.

Was that in the US or Europe?

Pretty sure big part of this is selection bias combined with ASD making it more likely for us to subscribe to more extreme versions of ideologies due to all or nothing mindset. It doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to be a cool hippie uncle because it could be the exact opposite too.

To give an example - most of the older autistic people in my family are in denial of this which in consequence makes them pretty shitty people. Living in denial of your autism oftentimes means that you’re also living in denial of being bisexual which leads to funky opinions like sexuality being a choice. Being aware you’re being manipulated can also make you more isolated and in turn ramp up paranoia or other schizoid type behaviours. When you feel like an alien it’s much easier to subscribe to cutthroat views about economy and things like that. TLDR: there are vile autistic people too

Tiny DLSS has about half the overhead in terms of frametime cost but sacrifices anti-aliasing on moving objects. Video weighs pros and cons of using tiny DLSS with bigger input resolution (Star Wars: Outlaws) vs full DLSS with smaller input resolution (Cyberpunk 2077) but the point of video is to show those differences directly. In my opinion lack of AA in motion is a bit overstated as it’s relatively hard to notice without magnifying glass.

Humans aren’t that homogeneous when it comes to immunity though.

When Europeans colonised Americas they brought germs that decimated Indians. There’s plenty of evidence that similar thing happened in Europe too when Yamnaya / Corded Ware culture expanded because they replaced existing people very quickly and without much violence which also coincides with burial sites teeming with black plague but I digress.

You also have to account for unused immunity being possibly eroded with time because there’s no evolutionary pressure. This is why we need to be mindful about vitamins for example - we got used to them being available in the environment and our bodies can no longer synthesise them. Dormant functionality isn’t guaranteed to carry over through millennia.

40k years ago is also when last Sapiens and Neanderthal admixture happened which was a bit of big thing for our immune systems to give a sense of scale here.
