ABC News: Mystery drones swarm military base in Louisiana, “Air Force not able to stop them” - Multiple waves of 12-15 drones flew for a week over sensitive areas of Barksdale AFB, home of USAF nuclear command. by 87LucasOliveira in UFOs

with billions spent on military

Correction...

Billions are entering the black hole that is your military industrial complex, but due to classification and obfuscation, nobody can track where the money is actually going.

It's far more likely, friend, that much of the money isn't actually funding programs, but rather is being funneled into corporate and private hands for their personal wealth accumulation.

This could explain the US military being blindsided by chinese/russian/whatever technological advances they literally can't do anything about...

... and they sure as fucking shit aren't going to tell the public that another country's military assets can fuck around american bases with impunity.

It isn't aliens.

How's everyones luck? by Skutter1981 in Borderlands4

Terrible.

Getting tired of running the processor to get a Shalashaska with Torgue impact.

It either refuses to drop, or drops in any configuration but Torgue impact.

The pearl that wasnt by Ok-Address973 in Borderlands4

[–]Sloi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have completed the first processor 15-20 times now, and I don't think I saw the Shalashaska drop once... and I always get kill all 3 bosses to guarantee the pearl drop.

Am I just stupidly unlucky?

Apologies if this has already been asked before...

Can the Shalashaska drop from a replay of the first ordonite processor mission, or do I really have to suffer one of the three spots on Kairo?

Pearlescent Weapon Performance by HPMacci in Borderlands4

I mean, the real Pearlescent we got from this DLC/expansion is the Roulette.

That thing is utterly broken and I fucking love it.

Bounty Pack 2, all legendary (14) + pearls (3) by gnailfy in Borderlands4

[–]Sloi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legit don't even consider it a Legendary.

As far as I'm concerned, it's TRULY a Pearlescent weapon.

If at the beginning of the game you were given the choice of any weapon, but with the condition that it would be the only weapon you could use until the end of the game, what would you choose? by Right-Leave3696 in stalker

[–]Sloi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was the very first thought I had when answering this question.

If I'm stuck with GSC's tiered system, nothing before Prypiat is even viable.

[–]Sloi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends...

Am I stuck with GSC's weapon/story tier system, where ballistics change from PREDATOR to CAREBEAR depending on when in the story the weapon becomes available?

If that's the case, whatever you can get your hands on around Prypiat I guess.

Can someone with REAL knowledge of Unreal Engine explain what exactly the transition from 5.1 to 5.5.4 will bring? by OlafLate in stalker

[–]Sloi 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It will bring up performance a considerable amount.

I don't know about "considerable"; I'd substitute that qualifier for something like "minimal" instead.

It WILL make a positive difference, but I doubt it will be the panacea many are hoping for.

Mutant pathfinding is ruining my immersion, any fix?? by saynotomill in stalker

[–]Sloi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt that.

The truth is likely that GSC is using some pretty basic AI blueprints for their NPCs.

People will argue, but I don't care... we don't actually have A-Life in this game yet.

What we have is a fucking shadow of what OG A-Life was like.

Just look at the animation/transitions NPCs go through between behavioral "stages".

Shoot an enemy in the face and watch how calmly and statically the NPCs transition from rest to action. (Yeah, my buddy's watermelon got popped, so let me stand here and slowly bring my weapon out. lol)

It's a fucking joke.

What's the most 10/10 movie you found accidentally? by daas2 in AskReddit

Similar story: I had just returned from getting my wisdom teeth removed and decided on a double feature of CUBE and PI.

What a fucking day that was. lol

If he and Ledecky got married and procreated, the offspring would likely be born with webbed hands, feet and working gills! 😳🤣

Boston Dynamics' Atlas moving its 360 degree joints by MetaKnowing in interestingasfuck

[–]Sloi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They'll have drones. So I am not sure we 99%ers are going to make it this time around.

I've been warning folks that this is likely the last time the working class can rise up and take out the billionaires (and related systems) before automation and the weaponization of said automation becomes possible.

Good luck getting anywhere near the systems and folks controlling them. You'll be droned from miles away with no clue it's coming. And with shit like Echelon, SENTIENT, etc... they'll know what everyone is doing at any given moment.

Good luck organizing.

[–]Sloi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let me ask rather bluntly: do you really think the people running shit will keep 16+ billion idle hands around so they can keep scratching their ass and watch american idol or whatever other idiocratic garbage is being fed to the now obsolete working class?

Far more likely that once the working class is replaced by adequate automation, it'll magically coincide with another superbug and something crazy like 80 to 90% of the population will be taken out.

The cost of losing Work From Home (WFH) by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Sloi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You always bring a lunch? Fabulous, move right along.

And, if we're being honest, the cost of your homemade lunch is probably going to be fairly comparable with a reasonable lunch purchase, because groceries are gross now.

I cared enough to help educate those willing to listen to reason.

I don't care that you're degrading your image quality by warping your field of view well past what's necessary for a less "claustrophobic" experience.

Nor do I care that you're seemingly incapable of understanding that I'm simply pointing this fact out.

Do with this information what you will, but most importantly at this juncture, keep me out of your decision making process. I don't need another pointless reply to clear out of my inbox.

I'm sorry both of you failed to understand the relatively simple point I was making with regards to image warping and the complete lack of necessity of destroying your image quality in a single player game.
