Yeah, also does anyone else remember when the best video card was like 600 bucks? I never did buy one of those. And I’m not buying the top end cards at 3k or whatever they are. I built my whole last computer for less than that.

What blew my mind was how I heard Titanfall 2 uses the source engine. That game looked really good. I did only play it on the steam deck though, so my resolution and screen size weren’t crazy.

That’s fair. I did watch a video comparing them, and what stuck with me was how they mention how good we got at faking lighting and making it so convincing that the reflections are real, it’s hard to sometimes tell the difference. For me on a 2070s with 3440x1440 resolution, it’s not worth it at all.

That’s the first game I tried. Looks great, when it comes to a room and playing I find those details skip my brain and prefer smooth 144Hz instead

I find when I play, if I’m not looking around focusing on the graphics (like playing the game) I don’t notice it. Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440 with ray tracing on makes me get like 24FPS. Without it, I can get above 60.

Am I the only one that doesn’t really give a shit about ray tracing? For mediocre gains, you get a punch in the face on performance. I’ll take 144Hz on a game over ray tracing any day.

Caught in this battle so often, never forgot it when I saw/read it in the Witcher series (games/books) - this is some of the core things about the series. Gerald must pick a side and he doesn’t.

Need but how is that controller layout supposed to work well for N64? Definitely not ideal. Not enough buttons.

Nah I went LCD 512 when it went on sale for 419 CAD.

Just bought myself a steam deck. Gaming on Linux has never been so pleasant.

Was going to say the same. Where did this IQ test take place anyways?

Also I had pretty shitty grades all through high school too because probably ADHD and also Jesus Christ 90% of those courses were mind numbing and my mind would be wandering.

Fast forward, I’m making good money (close to double those in my peer group) and surviving just fine so far. It’s a lot easier for me to focus on things my brain likes to think about.

To OP, it can be done. Persevere.

This sounds really interesting, why was it worth it to stay wherever you are?

Then money really would grow on trees.

Yes, you need a firewall. Deny traffic to the internet, permit to your self hosted resources. If you intent to take this phone out of the house, you can configure always on VPN with tasker and wire guard.

This sound right to me

Hasn’t this study been done before? Feel like I’ve heard of grass “distress signals” from years back

Yeah I totally agree. Now trump is in. We are fucked.

I saw that, that’s nearly 20 years ago now though
