I still have my 3700X and it keeps up well enough with a 4070 even on cyberpunk.

I've just been watching older movies, there's this amazing sweet spot when CGI just became a thing where the visual effects are passable but not so prevelant that the entire plot gets replaced with pointless explosions.

Meta is the only VR space for anyone not able/willing to spend as much on a VR headset as a mid range desktop (especially when that VR headset might not even function without the addition of a mid range desktop), and for people who want VR and a vague semblence of privacy there isn't really any affordable headset at all.

British primary schools used to have something called 'problem solving' it was usually a simple maths problem described in words that required some degree of critical thinking to solve. e.g. A frog is at the bottom of a 30m well, it climbs 7m each day but in the night it slides 3m back down in its sleep. You can't just calculate 30/(7-3) because it doesn't account for the day the frog gets over the top and thus doesn't slide back down in its sleep.

Not the most complex problem but pretty good for kids under 10 to start getting the basics.

The way I see it when it comes to physical ads I see them, I walk past, they're gone. Online targeted advertising is more like if there were a bunch of flying TV screens outside that constantly follow you around and try to take up 90% of your vision while you're trying to cross the road, and some stores become impossible to enter without an ad-blocker because the doorway is literally jammed with flying TVs.

I bet those kids can't wait to learn about how issac newton invented the colour yellow when seeing an apple fall from a lemon tree hitting a cow and thus causing him to invent gravity which trapped photons from venus allowing humans to finally have the technology to grow pineapples in canada.

Hasn't the US also repeatedly allegedly accidentally hit targets with white phosphorus that was intended just as a marking flair?

I really hope this doesn't catch on, Games are already horifically inefficient, imagine if we started making them like this and a 4090 becomes the minnimum system requirement for goddamn DOOM.

From what I understand (I don't play but my brother does) Starcraft 2 multiplayer was balanced almost entierly around the pro scene.

I always find text in dreams perfectly legible though it often changes if I try to read the same bit twice.
