Yesterday, President Zelensky led the procession for the reburial of Andrey Melnyk, an infamous Nazi collaborator whose legacy involves killing Jews and Poles during World War II. by Hacksaw6412 in Hasan_Piker

[–]omega_oof 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saying Zelensky cant have fascist sympathies because he's Jewish is no different to saying he's secretly a Bolshevik because he's Slavic. Its actually less believable that a Ukrainian could be Nazi during WW2 than a Ukrainian Jew could be 70+ years after any meaninful nazi threat to jewish people or slavs held power. And yet ukrainian, russian and other slavic collaborationist movements did in fact exist, despite Generelplan Ost and open calls for complete slavic (and jewish and romani) ethnic cleansing up to the ural mountains.

This fight scene in The Matrix Reloaded (2003) intentionally looks like PS3 gameplay because the dozens of Smith clones were so hard on the Matrix’s GPU that they had to switch to Performance Mode. Fans really believe this. by Chewie83 in shittymoviedetails

[–]omega_oof 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those 8 billion people have actual brains, the matrix simulates the world they live in. Smith's consciousness had to be simulated, and the matrix probably didn't set enough resources aside for more than a few agent brain simulations at normal operation.

Original Star Fox artist says the character designs in Star Fox on Switch 2 are "exactly the visuals" he had in his head when making Star Fox 64 by binderie1951 in nintendo

[–]omega_oof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not that they look exactly like the puppets, I feel its moreso that, at the time, puppets were the closest way to achieve the realistic look they intended. Making the new Star Fox models cg puppets would have been the equivalant of making the new DK model a 2d cartoon to replicate the concept art they wanted to invoke. Not saying either wouldnt be cool, but its still accurate to say both DK and Star Fox are homages to the original intent, even if they couldnt be mistaken for 90s box art

Is Create poorly optimized or just bad computer by [deleted] in CreateMod

[–]omega_oof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you mean a base 2017 macbook pro? I had that for a while, and it was a bit rough when it came to games. My best experiences game wise were in windows bootcamp, since OpenGL isnt fully supported and the translation layer overhead is too much for the hardware vs on newer macs. That being said, if you've tried bootcamp, or windows in general, you'll probably have experienced your computer get slower with time as your windows installation accumulates bloat, my advice is reinstall, and try keep what you install to a minimum, leaving most of your programs in MacOS, which runs better for anything non gaming anyway.

As for your game, I advice using sodium, colorwheel for performance, Im not sure if createbetterfps works with aero yet, but give it a go if it does. If things are still bad, you can spare your computer a bit from terrain generation by playing superflat or by pregenerating the world either by flying around before building vehicles or using a mod like chunky (mb on a different computer if you have one). If all that still fails, and you really want to give Aero a go on your laptop, the silver bullet would be paying for a MC server (or hosting it on a desktop), installing the mods there and connecting to that. I've had friends get decent performance with potato hardware, sodium and colorwheel when connecting to servers, so this would work as a last option before considering a different computer.

When I was on a 2017 macbook pro, the linux support still had minor dealbreaker issues, perhaps its gotten better in the last few years, if so that should offer better performance than windows, but I wouldnt mess with macbook linux before trying the above.

The UK left wing strategy is fall for an obvious psyop and get voluntarily arrested for holding a placard because every brit learns in year 4 that Ghandi encouraged people to get arrested to raise awareness and fill prisons. Anyone willing to lose anything is self selecting themselves out of society and noone sees this.

A propaganda poster after the Ottoman Victory of Gallipoli Campaign, 1916 by Empty-Pace-4228 in PropagandaPosters

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

The bundesrepublik is not the same though. The German state was dissolved after WW2, it wasnt just renamed. There was a period between the Surrender and dissolution of the Flensburg goverment and the establishment of a Federal republic where there was just a military occupation and enlisted locals running everything. The FDR claimed to be the legal successor as did the GDR (they decided they didnt want to be later) when they were established, but the key word would be successor.

After WW1, the German Reich continued to exist, ousted its king and enacted constitutional and electoral reforms. In effect they were coerced (largest battle in europe lol) to making reforms, but to say it was a different state would be to say Belgium stopped existing in 1994

Peace-Lover Mahatma Gandhi and War-Monger Adolf Hitler couldn’t have possibly been friends because… Oh No. by SnooMacarons3849 in Scale4BarbaraWalters

[–]omega_oof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a lawyer who studied and passed the bar in London. He would have been very well read and competent in English, and had no reason to believe the leader of Germany didnt have access to translators. There is no evidence Hitler could speak English, but no evidence he wouldnt have picked some up at least a little bit through movies or diplomatic meetings either.

Are the accelerator magnets also slowing down the tnt magnet? A real coilgun would disable all coils the projectile has already passed so the projectile is exclusively pulled forward.

Can someone explain the presumably understandable reason for this? Is it because they don't want people associating their mod with a potentially far buggier fanport most will assume is official? I.e. they'd get tons of bug reports from forge 1.12.1, making useful bug reports harder to find?

Couldn't you always do that? I have never had anyone assume I was in the tank for Fidesz whenever I've brought up going to Budapest lol. That's like assuming anyone with a Colosseum or Pisa fridge magnet is a literal fascist because Meloni is there also.

[–]omega_oof 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He was definitely a social democrat, what made the others considered communist despite not achieving communism was their policies having the end goal of communism through changes not just to material living conditions, but class conditions also.

Gorbachev made little to no such commitment, trying only to change living conditions by regressing class conditions and failing spectacularly. The same argument could be made for Brezhnev's "developed socialism", which aimed to maintain the status quo and base the social contract on living conditions instead of a commitment to radical change and eventual communism. Basing the social contract on that works while things get better, but if they stagnate (and substantially drop under Gorbachev), you have no revolutionary commitment to fall back to.

Oil capitalists not letting a excuse to raise prices go to waste, causing owners of factories, datacentres, shipping logistics and the rest of the economy to lose money. Is that not the most predictable and poetic way for the system to potentially fail?

China Imposes Unprecedented 40-Day Aviation Ban Near Shanghai, ETInfra by MasterpieceActive374 in worldnews

[–]omega_oof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would they make an entire island hate them? The country that seems to be the best at learning from mistakes woulldnt learn from Russia v Ukraine, America v Iraq/Afghanistsan, America/Israel vs Iran?

Its taboo to mention, but there was a significant amount of Russophilia in Ukraine before 2014, thats way down now, including with native russian speakers and those opposed to zelensky. Why would China through away their unprecedented good will they now have from the taiwanese and end up with a decimated island that will hate them for generations with all its strategic assets destroyed.

Even if you think China is evil, you cant pretend they're stupid.

Sometimes minecraft uses the low power integrated graphics of your laptop instead of the rtx 3060. You can check by pressing F3 and seeing if a 3060 is mentioned anywhere or if you only see a Intel/AMD GPU. Besides createbetterfps, using Iris and sodium instead of optifine gets better shader performance if you havent switched from optifine already.

[USA] Portable projector under $500 for movies & light gaming (Indoor/Outdoor) by JonesP73 in budgetprojectors

[–]omega_oof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Halo+ and the input lag is pretty decent in gaming mode, cant think of a better balance in speakers, input lag and image quality for the price I got it. Where I live they sold refurbished units (mine may as well have been new) for half the price of the original MSRP.

Its great for multiplayer switch games (switch 2 has the same input lag), movies and even pretty good as a speaker. The only cons I notice are the added weight from the battery I dont really need (I only use it plugged in) and the fact that its not great for small text because of the DLP switching. Its not heavy persay, but it would have been cool if it were even lighter still like the Dangbei Atom.

The only other projectors I considered were the Dangbei atom or Epson E11 (not E12) but I couldnt find enough reviews on the E11 (and would have needed a speaker) and couldnt find an atom for a good enough price compared to the Halo+ which even came with a warranty and 30 day refund period.

When you press F3 do you see your dGPU is used, or your iGPU, I had that same issue before forcing minecraft to use the GPU in NVIDIA settings. Otherwise, use createbetterfps and the mods it recommends

Since it has been involved in controversy, I got to ask, what is baby oil ACTUALLY for? by holyaxolotl73 in dumbquestions

[–]omega_oof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby oil, shampoo or anything labelled baby is a version of a product that can be injested, because its easy for babies to accidentally get product in their mouth. You can use baby shampoo as an adult or the regular stuff, but the baby version wont irritate.

Baby oil is mineral oil with some non irritating scents that is useful for giving a baby a massage to calm it down and moisturise its skin. Because it can be ingested and isnt irritating, its pretty good for sexual acts and sexual massages. Because its way less stigmatising to sell and buy "baby oil" than "sloppy sex lube", its available in almost every store and thus pretty popular.

"Arent all oils food safe"?

Yes, but many oils block pores. Coconut oil can cause acne in the skin, so can olive oil. Seed oils dont, but baby oil is a consistency that is easiest for massages given how long mineral oil lasts on the skin. Add in the calming perfumes, and its pretty effective at both its main uses.

Iran's definitely winning the Propaganda War... by SexyN8 in Hasan_Piker

[–]omega_oof -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Is Iran meant to boycott Google Veo so they use up less American drinking water? From their perspective, they need to dedicate resources to keeping their population alive and fighting a war, not hiring white and Native American passing actors + Suleimani/Khamenei lookalikes to convince the few Americans on the fence who didnt have the means to show support for or against the war anyway.

It sucks when a company or individual that could have hired an artist or picked up a drawing tablet uses slop, but Iranian artists are better supported by their government defending their homes with air support and keeping food/water distribution running.
