    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    I’m preferring controllers to mouse keyboard. Never thought it would happen but controllers are better for game immersion. Even for FPS I’m finding I like controllers more. I’ve fired at complex real life gun ranges before and controller movement is more realistic than mouse movement of guns.

    Laptop coolers: what works?

    Seems like a good idea to have a cooler for a gaming laptop for home use, but there’s a lot of variety. What works best?

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    Hmm, that does look good. Unlike the call of duty mobile games, this one looks more comparable to the pc game probably because of more power and the art direction.

    What can AI advancements result in real terms?

    Saw a stat that with AI datacenters, it is unlikely the world will be able to stay under 2 degrees c by 2050. AI datacenters will emit as much as all of Japan. For all of the emissions that these things will produce, what exactly will they gift the human species? There will be more realistic...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    In an odd way this contributes to the "mysticism" of the game, although likely this is unintentional. The more likely explanation is that it is the Obamacare website where the components of the game aren't coordinated with each other because they aren't talking or there's some personal...

    Epstein client list, does it exist or not?

    I disagree. The democrats could have had troll farms infiltrating like Stephen crowder comments and insinuating the Epstein connection to Trump. A good model, ironically, would have been the Russian trolls in 2016.

    The Late Show with Colbert is being cancelled by CBS

    CBS corporate claims that it is because the show is unprofitable, but this is suspiciously close to their 60 minutes $15 million settlement with Trump and their desire to receive approval to merge with Sundance. ThIs appears to be symbolic of the Trump administration where there is no goodwill...

    Epstein client list, does it exist or not?

    I really I wish Democrats had used Epstein against Trump in the election. It just never occurred to them because they’re focused on public policy and the national interest. They’ve lost the dark art of psychological manipulation and messaging. The average American can’t or is uninterested in...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    Yeah that doesn’t work. I can’t even play the solo game because there‘s something about finishing part 5 of some light quest or something. And when I try to join the fireteam there’s something about my friend not being allowed to because something or other. It is genuinely hilarious how bad...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    So I’ve been trying to play destiny 2 with a friend and…I can’t figure out how to play the same level at the same time with my friend. I’ve built pcs, modded games, configured .ini files, etc. can’t figure out how to play this game coop. How do I play this game’s story coop with my friend...

    AMD Ryzen 7 9700x vs Intel core ultra 265k

    Probably a lot of gaming. i ended up going with the Intel 265k because with the Newegg bundle promos it was cheaper than the amd chip. also in the video oftentimes the Intel chip had noticeably lower power draw while maintaining roughly equivalent performance.

    AMD Ryzen 7 9700x vs Intel core ultra 265k

    Reason I’m asking is that these are roughly the same price on newegg View: https://youtu.be/E7v4S-xXiwI?si=7k6jpLrQprGkJr5M from this video it looks like they’re roughly the same speed give or take 20%. Interestingly in many of the game tests the Intel cpu seems to draw less power I’m...

    Big Beautiful Bill Blowback

    The explanations I’ve heard in regards to this bill are: 1. This is setting a baseline for when real deficit reduction takes place. It sets the tax baseline so that democrats are fighting on a different fundamental now than they would if Kamala Harris had kept the line from Biden. This is...

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    so somehow hamas is also the fault of Israel and not a product of Palestinian society and culture? He probably was hoping hamas would be bogged down by governance and providing welfare for people in Gaza. What would you do? Shut everything off to Gaza unless hamas left? How long would that have...

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    It’s close dude. 7/16 is pretty significant and that’s just the people living there. at least 50% outside the borders support the state in one form or another. That’s well over a majority of again, this is more of that educationist language transmitting a stupid idea that somehow a coin flip...

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    Occam’s razer. The people who associate Jews with Israel are not wrong. The entire Jewish religion has such a central role for Jerusalem that as the opportunity presented itself in the 20th century, it was inevitable that Jews would migrate to the region. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    Well I mean how else to resolve a dispute on the nation state level? It’s worse to perpetuate it forever.

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    The reason why the issue is so easily confused is because it’s related. Yes not all Jews are Israeli nationalists but it logically flows that the two are related and it’s a perfectly valid and logical reading of the religion and culture. Occam’s razer. It shouldnt take thirteen levels of...

    Defining Antisemitism and criticism of Israel

    Meh, trying to be morally pure ends up with you guys twisting yourselves into knots and endless debates about who is a nazi, who is a colonizer, who is a victim, etc. The only thing that y’all can agree on is that white low-church Protestant christians are bad. But it’s funny because without...
