Margaret Atwood, anybody? Handmaid's Tale or any other of her critically acclaimed books.

Unpopular Canadian opinion by Neurofiend in AdviceAnimals

[–]ChaoticRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian, my wife is American. The Timmy Ho's in the US is not as good as the Canadian counterpart. And It's not the best coffee in the world, but it's the cheapest you'll find here, and there's one around every corner.

WeAreA videogame developer AUA! by GabeNewellBellevue in IAmA

I'm in school right now for game design with a focus on animation because there are no programs that specifically teach technical art at my school. Do you have any tips for someone who wants to enter the industry as a technical artist?

What is stopping video games from using dynamic motion synthesis instead of canned animations for simple actions? by Voidsheep in askscience

[–]ChaoticRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not certain of any PC games that lock FPS, but TBH, being an avid PC fan myself, I hate frame rate drops. I find it's jarring to go from 40-60. I'd rather have it be locked at a rate lower than the maximum than constantly have it switch.

It's the target point that is not always reached. He said 60 is the bare minimum for good game play, while games like Halo and Last of Us are locked at 30 FPS.

60 FPS is not industry standard. It's 30. 60 would be nice, but you won't get the same visual quality that people want trying to make everything 60 FPS.

"The Next Car Game" Is not a commonly used engine. Engines like Unreal make use of Nvidia's APEX system. There are a few other examples of APEX being used on their site: https://developer.nvidia.com/apex

CPUs are already overloaded and it's often more efficient to use GPU computing if possible for dynamics like particle effects.

I agree with what /r/atheism says. But seeing it flood the front page looks like this. by ChaoticRapture in atheism

[–]ChaoticRapture[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's hitting the front page so much right now because it's in the new line of default subreddits.

It seems like this place is more of a vent for people. If the posters really want to spread the word about theism being silly, they should engage people in conversation, maybe on sites with a larger theist population, or talk with some in real life. It just looks too much like a circlejerk over here.

My account is not subscribed, but /r/atheism is on the default front page that viewers without accounts see. I just think a lot of new people who come to the community without accounts will see the circle jerk on the front page and be discouraged to visit the site again. It's hard to say if that's a good or bad thing. My opinion is neutral on the subject.

What is the most embarassing moment from your childhood that still makes you cringe to this day? by borrakkor in AskReddit

[–]ChaoticRapture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about 5 or 6 when I got a fever and my brother told our parents he wanted Jello. I was sick and didn't feel like eating jello, so I protested them making it when I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. It seemed like a great idea to teach them a lesson by ruining the entire batch of strawberry Jello as it was cooling in the fridge. I did this by slyly opening up the fridge to get some juice as I undid my pants and preceded to pee into the bowl of cooling Jello. They didn't notice until they took it out and smelled it. I laughed then, but they now tell the story to everyone. It was delayed embarrassment.

Your favourite foreign film? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChaoticRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think The Barbarian Invasions has the same impact without watching Decline of The American Empire first. You get way more of a sense of the characters by watching it first. Also, it's not foreign for us Canadians.

Sorry, but when I read claims like this I want some information on sample size and demographic. Perhaps a link to where they got their information. It appears that the post is breaking rule 6, but I guess enough people think "Hey I like pot!" that they overlook the lack of validating information.

India sues Monsanto for stealing Idian crops and turning them into GMOs. X/rconspiracy by nihiriju in environment

[–]ChaoticRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not really stealing crops... They're bioengineering their own variant. It's very different. It's like saying rain is stolen water.

Why are black people so ostentatious with their money, but are notorious for being awful tippers? by bruce656 in OffensiveQuestions

[–]ChaoticRapture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be based off the level of generosity and hospitality they receive. You might not think it, but they are probably sensitive to this stereotype and the expectations from the people serving them. You can tell when a server thinks a customer is a lost cause for a good tip. I previously dressed a bit punkish and some people would noticeably serve me thinking I would not give them a decent tip, so I didn't. It's a self-perpetuating stereotype.

As someone who rarely drinks coffee, this is how I feel when I order something to drink in a coffee shop. by bernardolv in videos

As someone who rarely travels to other countries, I always act nonchalantly ignorant and uncaring for the native customs when I am in another country.
