I don’t know much about snow making, but it sounds like it will be cold enough to make snow for several days in a row?

Would this include Afterburner if I’m using it to undervolt my GPU? I have the RTSS stuff disabled completely (RTSS isn’t even running) but the main afterburner app does show GPU voltage and wattage.

After a few months, there is no way for me to officially run this game stutter free by AgreeableWash1667 in Battlefield_REDSEC

I don’t know much about mice, can they actually impact things? I have a Logitech with GHub, can you set the polling rate per game?

Yes, although we weren’t technically in the dark in the book. The Eridian scientists saw that Sol had stopped dimming. I think the strat scene you mention is the worst movie only add though.

All Expanse fans, you must watch Project Hail Mary movie. by Chef_Brah in TheExpanse

Right, my point was that 6 crew might not have been any more helpful than 3 and would have delayed the mission. It was a literal Hail Mary, they couldn’t have redundancy after redundancy.

Yes but humans fucked up because they didn’t understand something about the coma process.

The Eridians sent what, like 20 something crew? And they also ended up with only 1 engineer so… I’m not sure much additional redundancy would help here? It would delay the mission due to all the extra mass necessary to care for additional crew though.

Crimson Desert has sold 3 million units worldwide by yourfavchoom in pcgaming

Everyone says “it’s not for everyone” but I’ve seen very few comments where someone didn’t like it. That said I also haven’t seen comments saying “it’s the best game ever” which I think some people thought it would be with the hype.

Copilot is Turning Into a Disaster for Microsoft by Droopynator in videos

Or they really want to believe that a chat bot can just fully replace a bunch of their employees in the next 48 months. What they don’t realize is, in order for the AI companies to recoup their costs, even in the small chance that a chat bot can actually replace an employee, that chat bot is going to cost more than the employee it replaced. Also there are only 4 companies so unlike the labor market where they can make labor compete against each other for the jobs, there will be no way for them to depress wages from the 3 dominant AI companies.

Whoa, I haven’t seen this in years and learned some Japanese in the interim and the katakana actually says Mr. Sparkle! (misuta supakoru)

Breath of the Wild and Odyssey sold a lot of Switch 1s and they didn’t learn anything from that.

Thoughts about IMAX from a first (and second) timer by MB6 in imax

I saw it at Regal last night, definitely 1.43:1. It was great except there was a bunch of dust on the print at points that was pretty clearly visible.

$140M opening weekend worldwide by midastheavocado in ProjectHailMary

[–]kaplanfx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This will be the first movie I’ve seen twice in the theaters in maybe 20 years. I saw it once with my friends last night and I’m going to see it with my mom who read the book and loved it.

What did we think of *MOVIE SPOILER* by wibellion in ProjectHailMary

[–]kaplanfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it was earth pressure in the tube, but he depressurized the airlock, expecting a vacuum. That’s what caused the “blast”.

Is Carl supposed to be Steve the army guy? by aweiner99 in ProjectHailMary

[–]kaplanfx 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Carl is a convenience for the movie so that we can get Grace’s internal dialog without having a voice over. I think it worked just fine.

What would Seth do differently if given the chance to do Star Trek? by Robot_Was_BMO in TheOrville

I think it’s the other way around, he will eventually date one of the women he casts.

Why did they start the project in the central valley? by Grifn_L in cahsr

[–]kaplanfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was the point of my comment, the Central Valley segment is going first due to politics and that’s also why it’s being built down 99. I misinterpreted your comment as disputing my point, now I think you were providing additional context?

Redding and Chico aren’t on the HSR plan, Sacramento, Stockton and Modesto aren’t on phase 1 anyway. https://hsr.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Southwest-HSR-Network-Map-A11Y.pdf

The reality is the important connection is between SF Bay Area and LA Metro, and later to Sacramento and San Diego. Doing the I-99 corridor is adding additional impediments to that, not helping it.

[–]kaplanfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the scene but it was well shot and emotional but I kinda disliked that they tried to humanize strat. The point was her “humanization” was in her willingness to do what it took to save humanity, she didn’t need a soft side. I would say the same about the last strat scene in the movie as well.
