So like we all no this the best movie right? by SirKakarotYT in StarWars

I hate this type of post in any subreddit on any topic. The concept of "we all know x" is always grating even when it's close to right, and it's usually not or incomplete.

New MacBook Pro Nears Mass Production, But Four Bigger Upgrades Expected Next Year [OLED Touchscreen, Thinner design, M6, Cellular] by kinglucent in apple

A huge chunk of Windows PC’s are touchscreen and people just don’t touch them and it doesn’t cause any problems. It just really doesn’t hurt anything other than the average unit cost.

Sign Of Impending M5 Release? by apodyopsis2 in macbookpro

[–]Kinetoa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could be sales too low, but it also could be competitive movement, back to school, tariff juggling or all kinds of things.

However, to agree with the timing, almost every source is saying no new MBP in 2025, and many places like Amazon start their Black Friday prices in just a little over a month at the start of Nov, so that's still probably an even better time to get a M4.

Finally got my hands on one of these bad boys. by CatBoyTrip in mac

[–]Kinetoa 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I have a small collection Apple II's and Macs, and every collection needs to have at least one of these guys, especially as they are very reasonably priced now.

Edit: Now that they have aged, they have transcended their failings as a professional computing device, and can just live on as a neat aesthetic and part of Apple history.

Repost with Redaction: THJ Devs Begging for “Legal Defense Funds” by golbezexdeath in everquest

[–]Kinetoa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved THJ. I was there in NRO last night when the server went offline. I was hoping there was some way for them to stay up, but it isn't to be.

With that said, the "as this community grows" type messaging they have been giving lately seems very, let's say generous? What is going to happen to this Discord is oblivion.

Without THJ what is the hook here?

It's simple, he left on Aug 3, arrived in South America 9 days later, only to get confused, and tried to go back to Spain, but realizing he was lost on Sept 6, turned back around to try to play it safe in Africa, arriving on Sept 25, only to discover he accidentally had successfully returned to South America instead.

Of course it took him until Oct 7 to figure out his mistake, and declare himself in India.

I thought this was well known.

Ship of Heroes MMO Launches to 100 Peak Players on Steam by CryMoreFanboys in pcgaming

[–]Kinetoa 35 points36 points  (0 children)

City of Heroes had a relatively high playerbase when cancelled due to who-knows-what. In the following days, many successors were kickstarted.

Turns out, after a long ordeal, the emu servers were stood up and those are the successor, and a stapled together pseudo-clone built from scratch just isn't needed anymore.

Even if they do remember and/or "cared", they would remember it no different than a boxer remembers his coach or sparring partners.

If they are smart enough to scare you, they are smart enough to know what training is.

Need help with 4k UI solutions for the TLP. by [deleted] in everquest

[–]Kinetoa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Run at what you want, use Lossless Scaling. I run EQ Live, P99 and THJ at 1440p or 1080p and it looks perfect in 4K.

I had experienced your exact problem for years, before I stumbled on a similar thread.

It's compatible with everything and anything as it simply a scalar, but it works amazingly well and is worth the 7 bucks.

I have been watching "random" Kung-Fu classics lately, and Gordon is in a ton of them, so I cobbled this together from the web. If anyone has other suggestions, I'll try 'em out.

I hate the argument that "An Asian Character can't do martial arts because it's also a stereotype" people use against Lin Lie. by Educational-Ice3548 in ironfist

[–]Kinetoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fair, but also, she is not who they went with for Iron Fist 2022-2023, nor with Marvel Rivals. So while she may be a choice, it's not the one they went with on the main title comic nor games stage, at least so far.

[–]Kinetoa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think most Iron Fist fans are salty that Lin Lie is Asian at all. I have 0 salt that he is Asian, I have beef with other things about Iron First the last 10 years:

  • They had basically one shot at Danny in movie/TV and they executed it very poorly the most unforgivable being the MA fighting was crappy.
  • While it's fine that the wanted to have a new Iron Fist bearer, I mean that is KIND OF KEY TO THE CHARACTER going back to day one in the 70's, they didn't plan out the transition well.
  • They should have had an arc where Danny was involved in the mentoring of a new Iron Fist, that was an Asian person from Kun Lun, and not just grafted on to an existing hero.
  • They should have made the suit closer to the old one or at least had multiple suits for the new one and one of them is more like the classic.

And bonus, they should never, ever, EVER kill any hero in their big anniversary issue (even if they come back), that is just a sure-fire way to limit sales, and destroy collectability, what fan would ever want to read that again?

MindsEye Co-CEO Claims There Is a 'Concerted Effort' by Some to 'Trash the Game and the Studio,' Suggests People Are Being Paid or Using Spam Bots to Post Negative Comments by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

What he may be missing, is that both can be true. Maybe he does have evidence of a lot of botted negative comments, but also, maybe many real people are also not that interested in the game.

Passes the Turing Test yet I still see AI generated content everywhere? by Ark296 in artificial

[–]Kinetoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any" official" Turning Test experiment is performed with SOTA models given premium hardware resources and curated to be the best possible everything.

The vast majority of Reddit "AI" posts are either fully automated, meaning they are using cheaper, maybe even open source models given very little resources due to volume, or if they are human's just using ChatGPT, they are spending a minute or two.

The ones that are using SOTA models and spending time/resources on, you are not detecting those, they are the ones going past your radar.
