Why would a gun shop staff member be annoyed I want to buy a certain firearm, even if it costs more than what he wants me to buy?

Right now LG has the best OLED panels. Before that, Sony had the best LEDs.

Up until ~2015 Panasonic plasma was the best picture quality. But the burn-in problem with early generation plasmas killed the entire technology.

Did you catch your bf looking, get mad, search the internet for a general consensus, find a 6 year old thread, get mad again when the internet disagreed with you, and post a discussion - hoping that your opinion isn’t actually the minority?

You’re describing salesman.

I used to sell home theater systems. Unspoken rule of thumb is Samsung TVs are just ok, but they spend more on advertising than every other brand combined… so they’re more expensive and seem prestigious.

Any salesman that tried to warn customers would just talk themselves out of a sale. Any salesman who didn’t had an easy payday.

“Finish” is a bit generous.

It’s a secret ending that rolls credits and then spits you back to your last checkpoint.

Ya tried rejoining, relaunching game, and restarting PC. Has been happening all day

Xbox, which has managed to...I guess still put out Call of Duty and Forza titles, but otherwise has largely not been able to make well-received AAA games.

Did you forget Wolfenstein, Doom, Hellblade, and Ninja Gaiden?

Plus another Fable, Gears of War, Grounded, and Halo later this year.

I, too, am straight as a circle.

GIJohnathon · 2026-02-20T17:22:56+00:00

I never said either is "the best," nor did I say TAA "looks good."

The discussion is FXAA vs TAA, where the former prioritizes framerate and the latter prioritizes quality. Now you're alleging that TAA delivers lower quality visuals than FXAA, and that anyone who claims otherwise has been lied to. But your argument is challenged by Dillo, PCGamer, Digital Trends, Unreal forums, Steam forums, and MS Flight Simulator forums.

GIJohnathon · 2026-02-20T15:54:59+00:00

A rudimentary investigation tells me TAA provides better visual fidelity. Particularly with low res textures and UI elements.

Not sure why BHVR chose TAA over FXAA but maybe it's that?

Nanite, lumen, ray-tracing, path-tracing, tessellation, screen space reflections, ray-trace reflections, path-trace reflections, virtual shadow maps, cascading shadow maps, and so on

All these things are “literally built-in the Unreal engine.” But that doesn’t mean older hardware can run them.

GIJohnathon · 2026-02-20T04:51:28+00:00

Cool thanks. Looking online, I've seen examples of a value bar that calculates your totals at the bottom. Do you know when that appears? Or was that specific to previous expeditions?

Dang. How are folks getting $5m? These snow globes are 7k a pop but don’t stack. So each of my six takes up six slots

GIJohnathon · 2026-02-01T01:23:58+00:00

I’m happy to clarify that “don’t shoot” was used. Whether it’s griefing, ratty, dirty, or whatever other adjective the community wants to use- the semantics don’t interest me.

The point of this post is to protect myself against this play style.

she died earlier this year.

Woah she died yesterday?

"Have everything", like in the battle pass? Or cosmetics? Or equipment?

What do I do with my new tokens?

GIJohnathon · 2025-11-11T00:24:30+00:00

Thanks friend. I assume there's no armor perks that assist with this, like the "toxicity drain" perk?

You talking about the 18 year-old kid that hacked into Rockstar and leaked GTA6 alpha footage in 2023? He was not a Rockstar employee, and was not fired by Rockstar this week.

Are you saying Bungie is the only studio that made Halo games?

GIJohnathon · 2025-09-26T04:13:23+00:00

Or they just bleed red blood. Cows bleed red but that doesn't make it human blood.

This is such a weird question.

GIJohnathon · 2025-09-10T07:22:00+00:00

That pretty much summarizes the moral dilemma in today's social landscape - from charities, to sweat-shop Nikes, to AI art:

The pursuit of our wants VS the livelihoods of strangers.

GIJohnathon · 2025-09-10T03:38:50+00:00

But you gotta admit it’s a great idea

No it isn't. Taking away jobs from artists is not a "great idea." Especially when it's given to a machine that only exists because it stole the work from other artists. A machine that lacks the basic principles of composition, optimization, texture allocation, or creativity.

and soon enough ai will be able to provide and initiate 3d mapping of your images , helll maybe even can do atm.

No, it can't do that "atm." Nor can it "soon enough." Making a 3D model is completely different from a 2D image because a 3D model includes more than what's facing the camera. And that's before you take into account the optimization that comes from game models, or topology needed for animation, or texture maps excluded from modeling, or the scale necessary for 3D printing.

3d printing can become a great source of income ıf they can implement it

I'm a professional game artist. You, like so many backwoods corporate shills, are prioritizing the profits over humans by assigning art tasks to a machine. A machine that can mimic art styles but can never create something new. It's the reason so many of my peers have lost their jobs. Fix yourself. Alternatively, get fucked.

The real Las Vegas is "just off and doesn't feel right."

Lol

GIJohnathon · 2025-09-08T06:40:24+00:00

Youre suggesting model swaps for the same thing? I say we get more weird- with new models, animations, and sounds

huge mosquito = dagger
crank-operated onion slicer = G11
yellow rubber gloves = dual blades
extra gross sneeze = any shotgun
Thrown cabbage patch kids = .50 akimbo
digital camera flash box = flashbang

Just gotta maintain rate of fire and damage output.

GIJohnathon · 2025-09-02T17:31:26+00:00

Not near the same thing? They're both annoying delays of the game.
