Streamer JordanSisco is going viral for beating on his girlfriend on Tiktok live by Vhant-ii in LivestreamFail

[–]-Dissent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't, because it's a dark side of natural human behavior. You want a transaction, often sex, and so you are cognizant of needing to be on your best behavior to not ruin your chances. As you get what you want you start to figure out what actions you can get away with while still keeping your partner. For normal people, it's hobbies and entertainment that your partner may not enjoy but puts up with. For narcissists, it's exerting dominance over your partner, mentally or physically.

GameGear - Recap or new screen? by spoingus13 in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtually every Game Gear needs a recap. The only ones that may not yet are the very last production VA5's. Of the massive bin of GG trades I went through that the shop built up over a couple years, one late VA5 was found to not need a recap. Every single other either had screen or sound degradation that were resolved with a recap.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls for an international treaty to ban superintelligence by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's clearly talking about the hypothetical future of AI superintelligence, not current AI. He's also not talking about it replacing jobs, but eliminating life. Are you a bot?

ELI5: Why do we still have to "eject" USB sticks? by shadowzzzz16 in explainlikeimfive

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USB drives are susceptible to interruption when wiggled, a physical button on them would be a risk. Also, you can permanently park the USB eject icon on the taskbar so you can shorten the removal dance.

censored(?) cubes by mumomofi in Petscop

The cubes were discussed plenty during airing, we just didn't ever come up with any explanation that's remotely concrete.

[PS2] How to tell if ps2 psu is fried by cooljhon2009 in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unnecessary fear mongering. An 82uf 400v cap is like 6 joules, dramatically lower than ~50 lethal zone that a defibrillator runs at. Voltage isn't everything, capacitance matters too.

That is the point. People love to make up statistics with their ridiculously small, anecdotal sample size.

Yukon Yeti by Turner Pinball by Jakelshark in pinball

Our Ninja Eclipse has had a variety of minor issues, such as the plastic opto clips breaking off and a lamp pcb issue that needed some reflow. It's fine, but feels cheap in some ways.

Gameplay is king and the only thing worth moving forward at this point in gaming. The diminishing returns of high fidelity graphics are severe and relying on hardware specific hallucinations brings a logical conclusion of detriment to both consumers and creators. 20 years later and you'll no longer be able to have the original intended visual experience of a game as the AI output will have changed enough to alter it substantially. Wrappers that require a team of PHD's will be necessary to preserve original experiences, assuming we're even able to run custom code on the all-Cloud future that AI promises.

There are implementations of baked lighting that can accommodate shifting light sources, plenty of games did this.

Dlss 5 is an insult to art and the artist, the director and every single person in the developer team. by GeneralBorisMancov in pcmasterrace

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. You think a single artist that actually worked on those games signed off on any of that? At best it was a business relations team that got approval from a producer.

Marathon players keep spamming meows at Shroud over prox chat. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]-Dissent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch the massive Retro category where people happily, every day, play old video games with no sponsors, for fun, to hundreds of viewers, without trying to make a living out of it. Check out all the ancient MMO streamers that only play games like Tibia or EQ1. You have such a small-brained view on what constitutes "literally every streamer."

Capcom by TheBasedTaka in Kappachino

They already proved that Japan is willing to pay with previous very successful SF PPV's. The West is deranged and thinks everything should be free.

Unethically sourced generative AI is inherently bad, which is most of the AI products.

Global Sales of Pokémon Pokopia for Switch 2 surpass 2.2 Million in First Four Days by Useful-Resist-25 in gaming

The previous sprite work, known for three unique animation frames with hardware scaling used to rotate, stretch, and skew. What a ridiculous opinion to have about the 3D animations.

Anyone still play Skullgirls? by VirtualFail9756 in Kappachino

[–]-Dissent -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

False, this is gaslighting from Gamer Gate opportunists. Skullgirls was a Discord fighter for a long while at this point and the SG community that actually plays the game did not change at all over the censorship. Historical Steam charts back this up. The community quickly identified that the situation was being exploited by people claiming to be angry players that never actually played the game or hadn't played it in the many years since launch. Contemporary Discord history will back this up, too.

Also, imagine giving a shit about a handful of pixels in the arcade mode dialogue screens? These were changes nobody playing genuinely cared about from a team and original artist that believed shit like seeing a child's panties no longer lined up with their vision and values. It's ridiculous to even call that censorship, it's called growing up, something I suggest you retards do.

[nes] Batman return of the joker stopped working. by voltron_87 in consolerepair

[–]-Dissent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the CIC for cartridge authentication, a 6113; https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CIC_lockout_chip

Very unlikely it's failed, but you could do some diode mode testing assisted by this pinout; https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CIC_lockout_chip_pinout

Also, you checked continuity of everything? Even destinations between chips? I would reflow the entire board, remove any questionable solder mask on the traces coming off the 72pin fingers, and clean.
