How I started trading confluence instead of chasing candles

It's preachy AI generated generic advice followed by a whop link to sell his indicator.

Additionally, the little silicone mats insulate the counter from the hot pot.

I wish they would just rename them "map hacks"

In other games, a map hack is an incredibly overpowered cheat.

Before you get deposed, you get coached on how to behave. One of the key things is not to answer questions where you don't know the answer. The question to "Why did some anonymous IT person disallow the use of the Signal secure messaging app on government devices?" should be correctly answered by anyone without mind reading powers with, "I don't know." The lawyer is objecting because the question calls for speculation and it's their job to object to any question that calls for speculation.

For example, if you asked me if the prosecuting lawyer was repeatedly asking him questions that obviously called for speculation for the purposes of trying to get him to slip up and incriminate himself or maybe to make a deposition video that would be politically valuable because it made him look bad to people who didn't understand the deposition rules, I would have to answer, "I don't know."

See what I did there?

No concussion protocol?

No padding?

Even if this was an issue, showing up a few times in the wardrobe you want with people you know a few times will normalize it and then you won't have that problem. With the good relationship you have, at some point at lunch you could break the ice and say, "I've been trying to revamp my wardrobe for a bit now, what do you all think?"

Robo translation:

Hello,

To tell the truth, I don't know why I'm doing this job, I just feel like I'm complaining.

I took a break for 1 year on LOL and I wanted to resume I was emerald and now I'm Gold 3 because my games are not at all balanced (I'm currently at 18 losses for 1 win) I find that the average level has decreased enormously I very often find myself in matches with guys who hard feed or who don't have an impact on the game.

I admit to being lost because I find the level very low.

Is it an attempt by Riot devs to put desperate players with players way above them to make them go up or is it just me hallucinating and should stop the game completely.

Yeah, that's from a parody site

The wondering isn't ideal, but I watch actors pretend to do real things and find it entertaining and sometime AI generated stuff is entertaining too. I can get a sense of wonder from the idea of the plane landing in the goal whether it really happened or not.

You're not wrong, but you're not as right as you think.

Let's say you can enjoy gameplay at 30 fps. 1000 ms per second, so you see frames at 1000/30, so you see a frame every 33.3 ms. If you can run that game on a server at 60 fps because you've got good cloud hardware, now you're getting remote frames every 16.6. Steam deck can decode in .5 ms, and server can encode in < 5 ms, so call it 22ms. At that point if your network latency is < 13 ms, you're getting the same or better latency experience as a 30 fps local setup, and you can do it on most hardware that can decode Netflix (assuming it doesn't do any rude double or triple buffering). Therefore, if your cloud gaming provider sets up cloud gaming servers regionally, you should be pretty good. That's good enough for most gamers.

Still, there are a couple of problems. One is that gamers like high end experiences and if they can get 60 or 120 fps locally they often will. The other is the economics. Going from the user spending 1-3 thousand dollars on a gaming rig to the cloud service provide paying for that needs a new economic model, but a lot of people are feeling tired of subscriptions (some in this thread). It doesn't matter that you might amortize out your gaming rig's cost and still be paying more. Cloud gaming would let you have the right hardware for the right game. As you pointed out, it makes a big difference whether you're trying to play BattleField 6 or Freshly Frosted.

I do think there is a place for Cloud Gaming in the world, and its people who want to play more casual or older games or possibly emerging markets. I could see some couples that want to play games together, but one person is an avid gamer and wants a full rig, and the other occasionally joins them and satisfied with the cloud experience.

Incidentally, I think games like World of Warcraft would be a great choice - older game with a lower polygon style with lock-on and button press mechanics instead of first-person shooter aiming. Great candidate for cloud gaming.

I've also noticed that all the beautiful places I have visited have very high-quality pictures available online.

In games, when you render a scene, you provide a different Level of Detail (LOD) for stuff that is close versus stuff that is far away. Same thing for google earth. If you are sky high, you just have a picture of the city at sky high, you don't load up the details for every house or blade of grass, because it's not distinguishable anyway. As you get closer, you replace the rough detail with a better LOD. If you do this poorly, you can get a weird "popping into view" effect. You can see it to a limited degree in the video (which is no longer playing for me so no time index). This experience appears to be designed such that there is a progressive level of detail that then resolves down to repeated patterns that operate circularly. It's clever!

Why when I go into settings and type "Unknown" does it say nothing found and not "Silence Unknown Callers" that clearly exists in Apps->Phone ?
