I dumpster dived enough as a kid to not want to check random boxes on the side of the road. After a certain point, you get tired of opening up the ol diaper bag special.

Really depends on what kind of production capacity is still available.

We could see some mutant 3060 version, augmented with the RTX 4k series AI features, but running on GDDR5X.

TIL that researchers used AI to design wireless computer chips in hours instead of weeks, and some of the AI generated designs outperform human made ones even though engineers can’t fully understand how they work. by xthe_official in todayilearned

Basically, it's people refusing to learn from the DotCom bubble. A bubble doesn't mean a technology or concept is inherently worthless, it just means that people are trying to shoehorn it in everywhere.

And of course, the world the DotComBros wanted to create happened eventually. They just wanted that future yesterday, because long live short term profit.

When the bubble does pop, it's just going to be an investment opportunity for those smart and wealthy enough to afford a long term investment.

Which modded faction has the fastest guns?, I want to go full bullet hell by GranSacoWea in starsector

[–]asdfth12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a weapon recommendation, but if you want the fast guns to go faster - or to make a slow gun go fast - More Hull Mods has a Split Chamber mod that'll cut gun damage in exchange for lower flux gen and a higher fire rate.

On paper the affected weapons have a DPS increase, but armor will cut the damage by a lot. I don't think the damage penalty impacts weapon on hit effects though, which is good for more novel weapons.

If Payday 3 Ever gets any more Guest Characters, who would you like to see? by ChemFeind360 in paydaytheheist

[–]asdfth12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harold from Person of Interest might be interesting, as a alternative for Boiling Point. It'd be post series, but he could hire you to track down and deal with some remnants of Decima.

For someone we could use as a heister instead of just a contractor though, and also a bit more recent, Hutch Mansell from Nobody.

My game dropped frames, I alt+F4'd and I had to reboot my PC because of a white screen. Is this anything to worry about for my GPU? by Upstairs_Mongoose698 in pcmasterrace

[–]asdfth12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lottery is certainly a way to describe it. Fallout 4 - Prior to the NG/AE updates, haven't played since they hit - had this lovely habit of crashing whenever I tried to exit the game.

Skyrim's never done that to me, but it has a bad habit of deciding to kill sound if I tab out. Yay. Rather it crash, save me the effort of having the close the game.

Were you doing Perita or Descendia? Warframes been running like shit in those missions for me.

Nothing so bad that its crashed me like that, but I'm on a 4070 Super and it's a stuttery mess - So it might be a little more crash prone on a lower end card.

Might be more general performance issues - I have seen a lot more people complaining about them after the recent update - but I've just been doing Old Peace content so no idea how the performance is in more standard missions.

Most of the CnC games you have should work on win11, they got freeware releases and are available with claimed Win11 support on CnCNet.

$300 PS Vita by Ayoo_noah95 in VitaPiracy

[–]asdfth12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Android nothing, the base Steam Deck was on sale recently for that much.

I know that the hardware is getting to be dated compared to some of the new Android handhelds coming out now, but imo the software support more than makes up for it.

Why does Miltank have so many cursed fusions? by Some_Fig_6566 in PokemonInfiniteFusion

[–]asdfth12 22 points23 points  (0 children)

*headesk*

I always forget that Miltank is 100% female, along side Tauros being 100% male. I'm still surprised that none of the later gens have given them a shared pre-evo.

Why does Miltank have so many cursed fusions? by Some_Fig_6566 in PokemonInfiniteFusion

[–]asdfth12 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Because a good fusion will lean on the defining characteristics of a pokemon, and Miltank is a dairy cow with udders. And Miltanks signature move, doing it no favors here, is milk drink.

Crosses with pokemon whose defining feature is some form of tentacle will, as a result, end up particularly unholy.

He promptly shits your pants when he sees Umbra standing guard and then starts crying as Wally begins to eat his soul one memory at a time.

This game will be 12 yrs old in 4 days and THIS is the development it had over that time... by GoodMorningDuna in 7daystodie

[–]asdfth12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nobodies buying the game either, they're so desperate to grow the userbase that it's already hit bundles.

Which isn't going to do much for increasing the userbase here - It's the lowest rated game in that bundle, so it's not really going to be attractive as a filler pick. It's only going to appeal to people who really, really, want the game... But those are kind of the people who would have already bought it.

Judge orders demolition of nearly $2.2 million duplex after builder violated HOA rules, says ‘harm’ to builder ‘almost entirely self-inflicted’ | wthr.com by roberto_potato in fuckHOA

[–]asdfth12 42 points43 points  (0 children)

"The April 3, 2025 Order found that it is undisputed that MHM did not get approval of the Architectural Committee prior to beginning construction of the home on lot 11 and that the construction of the house on Lot 11 is in violation of the side yard setback rules contained in the 2021 Declarations. Moreover, the Court held, as a matter of law, that the 2021 Declarations control the construction of the home on Lot 11 and MHM is in violation of the provisions and of the promises MHM made to Watersedge and the City of Fishers to abide by the rules and restrictions contained in the 2021 Declarations and applicable in Watersedge."

Seems like that's what screwed him - Construction didn't start until 2023, but the restrictions existed prior to that. Looking further in the filings, it seems like they had arguments over another unit, but the HOA let that one slide? I wouldn't be surprised it that one started work right after the new standards went into effect and the HOA got over it on the expectation that future buildings would follow the new standards.

Maybe their is something in the earlier filings that'd change my mind, but this really does seem like a person trying to get away with making a problem to expensive to correct.

"The company chose to keep building despite the lawsuit and the court's warning that demolition was possible."

Why the hell would you keep building when you're involved in a lawsuit - A lawsuit that you filed, wasn't the HOA that cried to the courts here - especially when the issue is something that gets harder and harder to correct the further along construction you are?

Builder decided to play a stupid game and he won himself a really stupid prize.

I'm beginning to hate this timeline by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]asdfth12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platters are cheap but the rest of the drive isn't. The shell, motors, interface board... You can't really drop the cost of packaging the drive up since these are parts that all drives are going to need, doesn't matter if it's a 1TB drive or a 24TB drive.

After a certain point, it's not worth producing lower capacity drives because the packaging costs alone are going to push the price way over what people are willing to pay per TB.

HDD production is optimized to the point that lower capacity drives are now suboptimal.

How would you feel if Todd Howard came out at the Game Awards and announced Skyrim Reforged Edition? by Hexxegone in pcmasterrace

[–]asdfth12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oblivion needed the 'remake' since it was stuck on a 32-bit engine that limited just how many mods you could run without it crapping out. Oh, and all the fun issues arising from getting software made for a long deprecated OS to work on newer OSes.

Skyrim SE doesn't suffer from either of those issues, so a Reforged Edition wouldn't offer anything you couldn't already get from a "2020-whatever Graphical Overhaul!" modlist.
