StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS (www.pcgamer.com)

While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he’s still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. While the series might return, that...

dudewitbow,

Would you claim if Starcrft ghost had not been canceled, it would not be a starcrft game?

Humans are similar to cancer cells

Cancer cells are cells that keep growing even when they are told to stop. They continue to grow even when they are a detriment to the body. They consume a large amount of resources and they have no regard for the future even though their unsustainable growth will always lead to the death of their host and to themselves....

dudewitbow,

Depends on how low you define it. Many have monetary like transactions for procreation (e.g male insects offering food, some wasps offering service to mix her eggs into the colony eggs, penguins offering stones to mate), so the idea of offering a good/currency for a service is not innately human.

A competant driver team.

The spun off company from chinas nvidia branch “Moore Threads” has a gpu out that you can buy, but drivers are extremely terrible on it.

Intel is an example of a major corporation who jumped into the dgpu game a few years ago, and they ran into several driver problems and still have many to this day.

The hardest part of gpu design nowadays isn’t the hardware part, but the software side

dudewitbow,

of course, its just that its a huge task to undertake. People still give AMD shit for their drivers and they’ve been doing it for over a decade. It’s a huge problem for any company to build a competent driver team, especially for graphics, be it on PC or on mobile (e.g Qualcomm has a negative stigma for not supporting its devices long). The when for it is not in any short time window and would be a task that would take several years realistically. One way to fast track it would be approaching in an open source way (e.g AMD/Intel linux GPU drivers) but at a corporate level, drivers for those kinds of gpus usually cost way more to produce (part of the reason why workstation and server gpus are magnitudes more expensive than their consumer counterpart)

dudewitbow,

Its why people eant that contract with qualcomm and microsoft to expire.

Albeit also bad for the future market, Nvidia is already itching to unseat x86 and qualcomm on pc if it can. (Part of the reason why the Nvidia buyout of Arm had to be stopped)

dudewitbow,

Google essentially wanted to run a village in the downtown west area of san jose. Said area was mixed residential and office, so if google owned the houses. They would offer housing plans for employees and you wouldnt need to commute to work with how tightly it was integrated.

Google already has an “on campus hotel” that they offer employees to use. Having homes to rent out would be an extention to that.

ike, (edited ) to framework
@ike@pkm.social avatar

Is my understanding correct that there are no @framework laptops in 16x9 (or 16x10) aspect ratios available right now? eg the pre-order for next quarter delivery is the only option?

It is moderately likely I will need a laptop before that time window and dont want to miss the opportunity to get a framework (but the 3:2* aspect ratio... isn't for me).

*[edited aspect ratio to correct one]

dudewitbow,

Generally, readibility is better when you have a larger vertical aspect the aspect ratio. Especially in the age where many sites are designed with verticality in mind due to the prevalence of mobile.

16:9 is good for media consumption and games, but its not ideal for general web browsing and reading.

dudewitbow,

Its just a matter of getting a invite code from someone whose already in the door. There is basically lots of people who generate it for others. Id do it if I was at home.

dudewitbow,

I want a new shield tv revision because the Arm A57 cores are extremely dated for emulation use.

Also would be nice for some of the more demanding android titles that has released since then.

dudewitbow,

The whole point of the conversation is that the other platforms arent doing any work for the consumer.

To this day, epic doesnt even launch on linux officially, and requires a 3rd party launcher to even play its games. Epics first party games are on the list of games that dont work on linux.

There’s clearly one company who puts more effort onto the consumer front than the other. Epic doesnt even need to make a custom OS like valve does, it just needs to get their own launcher working, and their own games working, which they dont and refuse to.

To say that Epic is doing better for the consumer is disingenuous (however it does better for the developer though)

dudewitbow,

Outside of the invasuon of privacy, they are at a highschool. There’s a high chance that the material is CP, even if fake.

dudewitbow, (edited )

Its ultimately based on the sites you frequent at work vs home. The sites i read stuff at work tend to be less in your face with ads,.so you know its there but theyre less distracting.

dudewitbow,

competition only lowers prices if supply isn’t limited sadly. And due to how the housing system works, that would virtually never happen.

dudewitbow,

I’m considering her if shes Sub DPS MAYBE main. Ive been let down by attempting to save for pyro units (Dehya) before.

dudewitbow, (edited )

My main hope right now is that Siegwinne(or hell anyone) is a Hydro/Team Healer/Shielder.

along with the supposed other 4.3 healer focused artifact, my sole hope is to break free from Zhong Li/Bennet that some teams use, especially teams that cannot use Bennett’s C6 (e.g Wanderer Standard)

I have a feeling that Wanderer/Faruzan/Flex/Flex can be filled with Furina/Hydro Team Healer, or just any team that may happen to use both Zhong Li and Bennett because of a few things, first to point out what Zhong Li and Bennett offer that needs to be “replaced” for a new pair to be viable:

Zhong Li: Top in class shield when using ult, and can generate normal crystalize shields 20% Res Shred and to a lesser extent, petrify(not vital but nice to have)

Bennett: Single Target Healing Bonus based on Base attack Pyro Infusion for sword claymore polearm + 15% pyro damage

Both: Benefit from Geo or Pyro Resonance if other party members are that element

What Furina + Hydro Shielder/healer offer

Furina: Top in class Damage % buff to party okayish hydro application that chases

Hypothetical Hydro Healer Shielder: Shield Team Heal (if supposed healing accessory is real) Overheal > buffs possible more hydro application

Both: Guaranteed 25% max HP due to Hydro resonance (which buffs Furinas damage, as well as rest of party can live longer/dont die to furinas ability as easily).

In the core of Wanderer standard, I do hope Wanderer/Faruzan/Furina/Hydro HealShield becomes the new standard, as Geo/Bennett is extremely poor for anemo swirl (anemo+geo does nothing, wanderer is catalyst and does not receive bennett c6 bonuses) which essentially bets on that Furina Damage % + Hydro Heal/Shield overheal to buff + more swirls is a higher damage increase than res shred + Bennett base attack bonus + minor pyro swirl from bennett.

This of course does not only affect wanderer, but it becomes a major option for any Catalyst or Bow based main DPS that does not benefit from Bennett’s c6, especially anemo due to no infusion + does nothing with geo. Bennett’s time in the spotlight should now be shared

dudewitbow,

After i read that, I was like this man is a red flag

dudewitbow,

Aoe2 since the release of definitive edition in 2019 has consistently been releasing new expansions. Because it has dedicated and fairly sizable fan base.

It also got its xbox console release earlier this year.

dudewitbow,

Not necessarily. An independent just doesnt side with a party (not to be confused with the independant party). An independant can have some slight preference to a side but it doesnt necessarily guarantee said side would get a vote.

dudewitbow,

i mean users are free to use 3rd party start bars to have a windows 7 style start bar. The thing I always find odd is that if you opt for the 3rd party option, your experience with windows is mostly consistent.

One of the biggest features Windows gives users is the ability to modify stuff and people choose not to use it. It’s like anyone who outright chooses to use IE/Spartan/Edge and complain about it instead of just switching to a 3rd party option.

dudewitbow,

I personally use openshell because its free, some people may prefer start10 or startisback. or go to more non vanilla options like Pokki

dudewitbow,

computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.

dudewitbow,

The lower point of Fahrenheight is near the freezing point of brine (salt water) which freezes at -6 F (-21 C).

It was designed around what the coldest day at the time of its invention could get and the 100F was marked around how hot the hottest day of the year at the timr would get. Hence its choice to scale 0-100 to local weather vs celcius’ choice to use kelvin and offset it to standardize it to pure water.

dudewitbow,

Probably took a while unless trained speed eater.

I personally attempted the 100 nugget challenge and the bottleneck for me actually wasn’t getting full, it was that your jaw hurts a lot chewing through a shit ton of nuggets. I couldnt even imagine doing over 4x that amount in a sitting

What's the best "cheap" iPhone i could get ?

Hey ! I just broke my Pixel 4a (fp reader is dead, screen is flickering, battery health is getting really bad), and i am looking to try out Apple ecosystem. I have a budget of around 300 euros, and i have no problem looking at refurbished devices / secondhand. Here is a list i made (prices are from backmarket, a refurbished...

dudewitbow,

I always like to say, editions labeled SE are the “Shit Edition”

dudewitbow,

how I see it, outsiders see California in two different locations, LA and San Francisco(Bay Area), which the latter is bundled with.
