697? Geez that’s… Not great.

Except for the Aztecs and Poland I think.

My point is more that the sides aren’t symmetrical, but for twin-stick shooters it makes more sense if they are (which they are for DualSense).

For platformers you’re right, but for twin-stick shooters you’re using the shoulder buttons/triggers far more than the front buttons, and you are constantly using both sticks. And those happen to be fairly popular on PlayStation consoles.

This was just merged.

I only really notice stutters in heavily modded Minecraft, where it’s clearly linked to the garbage collector. In more demanding games I don’t notice any stuttering really. Or at least, none that I can’t easily link to something triggering in the game that is likely causing it.

Sure, perhaps I have slightly lower average FPS compared to a 7800x3D, but I also use this PC for productivity reasons so there the extra oompf really does help. Still, 97% of a framerate that’s already way higher than what my 144Hz monitors support is still well above what my monitors support. I don’t think the performance difference is really noticeable, other than in certain benchmarks or if you try really hard to see them.

It’s considerably faster than a 5800x3D though.

Honestly with the 7950x3D being so powerful, you rarely notice it if a game isn’t fully utilizing it. I have one and I’m very pleased with it!

Well, the numbers show otherwise.

Conservative undertones? I’m curious why you think that. Could you elaborate?

There’s strong tones of anti-corporatism and a clear favour towards communal living. And the obvious “care-for-the-Earth” stuff. But I don’t think those are necessarily conservative. I could see the argument for Christian undertones, but more in the traditional “love thy neighbour” and “custodianship” sense.

You’re missing the part where Apple initially wanted to partner with Masimo and when they refused, decided to poach several employees from Masimo to develop the competing product.

Masimo seems to have a legitimate case here, and Apple is definitely in the wrong, as they knowingly attempted to copy Masimo’s product. The late publication of the patents could be due to literally anything, but it doesn’t seem to be done willfully to ‘trap’ Apple into this lawsuit. Because of that, I’d argue that this is a bit of a fault in the broken patent system, but that Masimo is not deliberately patent trolling here.

Lost to Peter Thiel.

That was always in there, but the degree of optimization varied of course.

That’s literally what the game already does. But it can’t have all the effects you believe it should have, because there are a lot of events that can change a modifier that would require a recalculation.

Also marking thing as “should_update” (like you called it here) the way you describe it would cause terrible performance issues. You can’t mark large amount of pops for an employment update, because employment calculations are some of the more expensive ones to do, and doing it for large amounts of individual pops at a time would cause severe lag spikes.

That’s just blatantly false. We’ve even had dev diaries showing they’ve fixed some performance issues, even showing the performance graphs to prove it.

Adding characters is easy when you don’t have to deal with licensing issues.

I like the person casually walking into the fire at 19:05. I also noticed reflections in the water near the edges of the screen don’t show properly, most noticeably at the end of the video.

Amazing tech demo, but I wonder if they’re focusing on the right things. Physics-based nosebleeds are cool, but not as noticeable as getting reflections right.

Humble Bundle has a special relationship with Valve iirc, because of the charity work they do.

Wouldn’t solve it, drift can affect regular joystick operation as well, where pushing it all the way to the side could show up as it being stuck in the middle.

There’s no such thing as “the internet’s public square”. It is the “X-owned public square”. In an offline public square, the government owns the square, so free speech protections apply. But this “square” is privately owned. There’s an incredibly fundamental difference here.
