480 would be NTSC. PAL was higher resolution. But, yeah, the latency was basically imperceptible but the fan noise was real.

I agree. I think the problem with it is that it was just too complicated. With most Nintendo system what you see is what you get - with the Wii, those people having a good time swinging around their little Toblerones really are playing a game; the Switch really is a home console grade portable handheld thing; the WiiU manages to look like both those things without being either.

Not that exceptional.

Apple and giving their own software priviledged access and denying/revoking that priveledge from their competitors. Name a more iconic duo. See also Tile, Pebble, Spotify, etc.

Many of the allegories from the likes of Descartes and Aristotle use the concept of the mind being manipulated by demons - a common trope of their times - but the concepts being explored were the same as people talking about being a character in a book, or a brain in a jar, or a computer simulation; they’re just using the prevailing ideas of their time to communicate ideas to their contemporaries.

I’m currently running Timberborn on a potato. The NPCs don’t perceive their world’s lag: they are part of the world.

Fucki-, just, fucking fuck off.

Upvoted, obvs. But still.

That’s really clever. If you’ve not noticed it yet: if you hold your phone at arms length and blur your vision it creates the illusion of a vague blob that doesn’t look like Taylor Swift.

Right. They’re hairy and secrete milk. So, mammal.

I assume it’s because of “hot pink” which now I type it sounds like a euphanism.

I’ve lived in a few places around the UK and I have never, ever heard of a “cheesy bug”.

Do not trifle with Appellomancers.

Something, something, dihydrogen monoxide, something.

Did you know…?

One hundred percent go for USFF. Even the cheapest, most basic processor will smash server roles because it’s not having to power desktop applications, graphics, window managers, etc.

Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building’s foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

I can’t be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?
