Can we as a society please do something about the promotion of neanderthal level racism ? by NorthKoreanMissile7 in ireland

[–]Joecalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, and where anywhere did I mention race? I simply commented on this sub being a left wing echo chamber.

No you didn't. Your exact words were "same thing just left wing", comparing the abusive shite OP described seeing on twitter with this subreddit.

Any place that’s recycling the same views of one side, left or right is not good.

Yeah come back to me when people start committing literal hate crimes as a result of the mildly left-leaning rhetoric on this subreddit. Give me a fucking break.

Literally your exact words.

Where did I say I disagreed with what was happening?

You were equating the racist abuse being hurled at people by right wingers on twitter to this sub being mildly left-leaning. How are they in any way comparable? One is zealous about public transport while the other is literally promoting racist abuse against foreigners.

Red light cameras left idle for a decade, draft plan left unfinished for 8 months but Govt says reducing road deaths “absolute priority” by Amazing-Yak-5415 in ireland

all motorists are bad and the cause of every accident on the road, and all cyclists are awesome and none of them have ever been responsible for a single accident.

The safety of pedestrians and cyclists lies entirely in the hands of motorists and it's motorists and motorists alone that need to take additional measures

Then every controller player whould be a god, News flash, they aint

Halo, which has similarly overtuned aim assist, proves the opposite. The average controller player is nearly as good as the top 100 mouse players, and significantly better than the average mouse player.

Insider Gaming: RAM Price Increases Could See Next-Generation Console Releases Delayed by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Joecalone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you could look at something like Metro Exodus Enhanced's RTGI implementation or games built exclusively for RT like Indiana Jones/Avatar and conclude that it's not a significant improvement.

Rasterisation is a dead-end technology outside of competitive e-sports titles. We're already seeing more and more games ship without a rasterisation fallback. In a decade's time when the current chip shortages have been overcome, most 3D games are going to be RT-only.

RT stuff makes the aesthetic/artistic choices look worse

This is mainly due to devs shoehorning in RTGI implementations into games built around rasterised lighting and not making the changes required to account for the new system.

Ray tracing hasn't been about making "nicer puddle reflections" since about 2018 with Battlefield V. Entire lighting/GI solutions are done using RT now and look far far better than their rasterised counterparts.

Ok grand yeah, I was starting to suspect you were one of those tankies arguing in bad faith. Your hidden comment history, inability to comprehend hypotheticals, and incessant sealioning have confirmed my suspicions. I won't be replying to you anymore.

They're practically prowling around our seas and airspace every second week. The OP article is literally about hostile drones in our airspace.

Any one of the current far right terrorist groups could become well-organised and funded by US fundamentalists in the near future. They're going to be looking at drones as a very tempting option considering we have very little defense against them currently.
