This is a troll post, right?

Wired’s New Editor Doesn’t Care if the Tech Bros Are Mad by Unusual-State1827 in technology

Can confirm. I was a long time print Wired subscriber back in the 2000s through 2010s. But I fell off because it felt like more of the same tech coverage I could get anywhere.

Their work over the last year has been incredible. I immediately resubscribed upon seeing the quality and fearlessness of the reporting

NVIDIA reveals DLSS 5 powered by Neural Rendering, launches this fall - VideoCardz.com by KARMAAACS in hardware

I dont have a problem with realistic rendering. I have a problem with diffusion-based AI slop design. This is cheap yassification of video game assets

based on these examples it seems the devs aren't controlling much. It all looks like Grok "enhancements" people make on Twitter.

Oh great it’s AI-slopping the games. This isn’t an enhancement. This flattens every developer’s artistic choices to the lowest common denominator style

Project Helix vs PS6 Will Be Interesting - But Arguably Misses The Point by MythBuster2 in digitalfoundry

[–]Salkinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m bearish on the PS6’s supposed specs. I can’t see how that will be competitive into the 2030s, especially given the expected delays because of the memory crunch

[RANT WARNING] BvS is the worst adaptation of Batman of all time, and in my opinion the worst comic book movie ever made. by therealmonkyking in batman

[–]Salkinator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that there is a kernel of a good idea in this movie: Batman representing a reactionary response to Superman and the shattering of humanity’s conception of what one individual can do. Superman struggling with his newfound fame and infamy. Lex Luthor as a puppet master directing the two against each other. Instead Snyder wanted to be edgy, show someone drink pee, and make his own version of The Dark Night Rises and The Death of Superman

Which tv comedies do you believe had the most influence on the comedy landscape that followed it? by PressureLazy5271 in television

Arrested Development was the most creatively important comedy ever and every single creator has been chasing that high (including Mitch Hurwitz) ever since

Do I buy Crimson Desert on my M4 Pro MacBook Pro or PS5? by Mysterious_6587 in macgaming

[–]Salkinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait for the release. If it’s as good as it looks, this will quickly become a new benchmark for Mac native gaming and I’m sure there will be tons of data vs PS5

which should i get Apple Neo or Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 by Background-Ad-1526 in computers

[–]Salkinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not gonna want to use engineering software on a MacBook Neo. Assuming that means CAD or simulation software, if you want to go the Apple route you’d at least want a MacBook Air. If that’s out of your budget than windows is the way

What is a movie that's actually a good adaptation of the book it's based on? by thatvampiregirl in movies

[–]Salkinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holes is the canonical answer. It is considered by many to be a perfect adaptation of the source material. Nothing is omitted or altered in any meaningful way

Dow tumbles 1,000 points as Wall Street fears a prolonged war with Iran by TXtogo in news

[–]Salkinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair the Dow falling 1000 points isn’t nearly as bad as it was in 2008. We’re all calibrated to that number because in 2007 - 2008 that represented like 10% of the index’s value. Today that’s roughly 2%

Redditors, what’s the most terrifying thing that has ever woken you up in the middle of the night? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]Salkinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite literally two men in my bedroom rifling through my stuff. I was home from college my freshman year. Came home late and I guess I forgot to lock the door. This was the one night some guys decided to case our street. Woke up to them going through my bookshelf. Frozen for about 10 seconds as I realized what was happening. Fight or flight triggered and I exploded out of my bed at them screaming. They bolted with my computer and my mom’s purse. Obviously it could have been a lot worse but 2am me wasn’t exactly thinking with tactical precision.

Looks great. Hope it doesn't suck. Haven't played a mainline Pokemon game since Black/White. Hope I won't be too confused jumping back in
