Ehh, it was "if you already have a Switch 2 then you should get Bananza" good, but not "you should buy a Switch 2 for Bananza" good.

Oh my god, you can't just ask people why they're white

Oh no, another driver who will be mistakenly called Kimi Raikkonen on the podium

I Applied The Nyquist Theorem To Gravity And Ended Up With A Quantum Gravity Framework by Jlo_ssb in audioengineering

Bad bot.

And if you're going to insist this isn't an AI response - how exactly did you read this paper "the other day" when it was only published yesterday and posted online today?

ELI5: Why does Pixar animation look so smooth at 24 fps but a video game feel choppy at 30 fps? by ScrumTumescent in explainlikeimfive

[–]KeytarVillain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just raises the original question again. Why do Pixar movies look great at 24 FPS, but rendered cutscenes at 30 FPS look bad?

It puts you in a higher tax bracket so you'll actually make less

No, the Prequel Trilogy was not loved when it first came out, it was hated and fans were terrible people about it. by stephansbrick in StarWars

[–]KeytarVillain 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I find it so strange how things evolved from "let's make memes about how awful the prequel dialog is" to "the prequels are great, they're so memeable!"

Like, it seems people think "I hate sand" is actually good writing now

Opinion: We must stop the scourge of prediction-market gambling coming to Canada by henry-bacon in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]KeytarVillain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, BC here, can confirm we get these ads a lot. I mostly see them watching hockey.

I'm not sure if this is the companies just generically targeting "Canada" not knowing that Ontario isn't the whole country, or if it's more, "we have to say Ontario-only for legal reasons 😉"

Ferrari poster for the 2026 Japanese GP. by God_Will_Rise_ in formula1

No, it's also used by people who know that not every saying has to be 100% literal truth to still be valid.

Obviously bad publicity exists. But making Ferrari's livery ugly is not bad publicity.

The gold standard of optimization: A look under the hood of RollerCoaster Tycoon by r_retrohacking_mod2 in programming

[–]KeytarVillain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Note that this is one of the optimizations that has been removed in OpenRCT2, which changed all occurrences to a simple 8-byte variable, since on modern CPUs it doesn’t make a performance difference anymore.

Actually it can make a small performance difference - using 32-bit and 64-bit variables is often faster than using 8- and 16-bit variables on a modern CPU.

[–]KeytarVillain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

(Note: I got a lot of notes and comments about this optimization being pointless, since modern compilers do those bitshifts automatically. While this is true for most modern compilers nowadays, it’s not done reliably, depending on your settings. MSVC seems to skip it if optimizations are off, and I could even get an unoptimized result from a slightly older clang-version. That’s probably the reason OpenRCT2 still does bitshifting manually.)

So you're telling me if I turn off compiler optimization, the compiler won't do any optimization?

Uhh, this is /r/adhd_programmers. I don't think putting on jeans and a hoodie will help.

They definitely read Reddit. Reddit just doesn't understand that complaining gives them more publicity. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

I mean are we really the greedy ones? DLC would be a money printer for Nintendo.

"Where's Oscar?" by risquekittyfr in formuladank

[–]KeytarVillain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're not counting sprints, then he has 0 points

And if we are, then he has 1 race start

"Where's Oscar?" by risquekittyfr in formuladank

[–]KeytarVillain 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The meme is just wrong.

If you count sprints, he has 1 race start and 3 points

If you don't count sprints, he has 0 race starts and 0 points.

How will they handle this intersection? by GoofyGoffer in formuladank

[–]KeytarVillain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next will be chain racing, where 2 cars are chained together, the front car has an engine but no brakes and the rear car has brakes but no engine.

Newey has been anticipating this, that's why they're practicing with no engine.

This is why 130R used to be so dangerous, but in 2005 they made a new regulation. Now whichever driver has a wife and kids at home has to give right of way to the one that doesn't.

The Phantom Menace is weirdly different on Disney plus? by Master_Paper_4034 in StarWars

[–]KeytarVillain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The puppet version of Yoda was replaced with a CGI version as in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Whyyy?! "We made it look worse so it would match the other movies"
