Mamertine, in Oh no big scary man

They only claim to kill 99.99% of germs because consumers won’t believe 99.999999999%.

ryannathans,

I guess c.diff spores and the like aren’t technically “germs” yet?

pimento64, in My 1070 is still going strong

My RX580 is about to be seven years old, and I still haven’t encountered any game that is 1) too intense for it and 2) actually worth playing, considering usually only AAA games are resource-intensive and 99% of them are MTX trash

RampageDon,

Similar situation. Still running my 980, and the only games it can’t run are some of the AAA titles. Not even because they are too intense but my card is only supported up to like VidX and they are now on Vid11 or 12.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

The only game that I’d considered playing that my build couldn’t run was Starfield. Seems like that worked out for the best.

tuoret,

I upgraded my PC for that, so yeah just be glad you weren’t that stupid. Oh well, at least baldurs gate looks shiny now.

I upgraded for freaking Hogwarts Legacy…

But hey, it prodded me to pick RDR2 back up and beat it, so it wasn’t a complete waste.

Norgur,

You ain't missing anything in that front.

SuiXi3D,
@SuiXi3D@kbin.social avatar

It’s not that bad, Jesus.

Norgur,

I didn't say it was bad. Just that you're not missing anything if you don't play it. Where do I say it's really bad?

Viking_Hippie,

Nah, but it isn’t that good either. It’s very much mediocre and would have to be as revolutionary as Bethesda claimed it would be to justify the ridiculous hardware requirements.

Cethin,

Everything it does other games do better.

Space travel and exploration (space and ground, seemlessly), as well as space combat? Elite: Dangerous.

Story? Literally anything.

Combat? Damn near any shooter made in the last 20 years.

Dungeon looting? Just play Fallout 4, which has plenty of issues but none as bad as Starfield.

It’s not bad. It’s just not good at anything. I have no reason to play it over so many other games. It feels like it doesn’t know what it’s supposed to be, so it doesn’t do anything well or interesting.

It feels like it doesn’t know what it’s supposed to be, so it doesn’t do anything well or interesting.

I haven’t played Starfield. But that was pretty much what I felt playing No Man’s Sky.

Cethin,

In my opinion, having played both at launch, it’s a pretty similar experience, except I could see what NMS wanted to be. It wanted to be an exploration game. It just didn’t have any systems to make that interesting.

Starfield doesn’t want to be an exploration game I don’t think, but it does have things to explore but it never makes it interesting or necessary. It’s sci-fi, but that genre is supposed to be used as a lense to look at real-world issues, and it doesn’t critique anything except maybe saying pirates are bad. None of the companions are interesting enough to care about, and they’re almost all identical, so it isn’t about them. The looting gameplay is pretty bad where you just do the same five dungeons over and over, so that obviously wasn’t a priority. I just can’t think of a single thing it actually makes important to the experience, so I don’t know what it’s trying to be.

ShortFuse, in Remember when everything was so blocky?

PNG was built to replace GIF and TIFF.

The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format was designed to replace the older and simpler GIF format and, to some extent, the much more complex TIFF format.

And it stands to this day, with the exception of animation:

One GIF feature that PNG does not try to reproduce is multiple-image support, especially animations; PNG was and is intended to be a single-image format only.

Though APNG came later, and we even have MP4.

www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngintro.html

Bonus:

No detail was too small for consideration in the authors’ quest for a near-perfect image format; yea, verily, even the acronym and pronunciation were major topics of discussion. The reason, of course, is the GIF format; some pronounce it with a soft G like giraffe, some with a hard G like gift, and no one really knows what they’re talking about. (For the record, the soft G is correct; it is how the author of the format pronounces it.)

“PNG” is always spelled* “PNG” (or “Portable Network Graphics”) and always pronounced “ping” in English, not “pinj” or “pee en gee” or any other multi-syllabic disaster. (For non-English speakers, the three-letter pronunciation is fine, however.)

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

Funfact: APNG is now stadardized as part of third edition of PNG spec

frezik,

Odd they bring up TIFF. That one is more like a container format that can hold many different types of images.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

If they wanted me to pronounce it ping they should’ve spelled it ping.

postmateDumbass, (edited )

It took too long to relay that.

digger,
@digger@lemmy.ca avatar

Portable Internet/Network Graphics?

Vent,

Never heard anyone pronounce it ping, lol! P-N-G is a better pronunciation anyway. Less ambiguous, there’s already something called ping that is super common in computing.

thomasloven, (edited )

with the exception of animation.

Funny you should mention that… From the GIF89 specification, Appendix D:

Animation - The Graphics Interchange Format is not intended as a platform for animation, even though it can be done in a limited way.

BeefPiano, in Remember when everything was so blocky?

GIFs have transparency, but not alpha blending so it would have jagged edges. When PNGs were first supported by IE, you had to do some crazy ActiveX scripting calls to make it work.

At the time, Microsoft had shut down the IE team since they had beaten Netscape in the browser wars. If it hadn’t been for Firefox, we would be stuck with that crappy PNG implementation!

ryannathans,

If it weren’t for firefox, we’d be stuck with a lot of shit

MotoAsh,

Yes, everything sounds stupid when you boil it down to nothing and then conflate it all together.

Read more. Talk less. For your own good.

Nougat,

Only if you put down your gun.

Ephera,

The war may have been lost, but what else do you even say in response to this meme?

LaserTurboShark69,

Yeah I have no idea what this meme is supposed to be

ryannathans,

Does you’re mom know? /s

lugal, in The system is broken

Is this 2/3s of income plus tip or is the tip included? Because if you want to save money, tip your landlord less!

Lucidlethargy,

Yeah, but they really deserve that tip. They work really hard, you see. Just the other year my landlord was hard at work promising to paint over a wall he ruined with repairs.

I bet he’s going to get it done any day now!

Gosh, maybe it’s because my last tip was too low… It’s probably my fault.

lugal,

As a general rule, it’s always the renter’s fault.

And don’t underestimate the effort and work and emotional energy spent on postponing painting the wall, feeling bad about it, postponing it again, … they spent a lot of time and energy on that!

winterayars,

Give your landlord a negative tip.

lugal,

I donno, is that even legal?

Wanderer, in Why are we not talking about this literacy crisis?

Not talking about it because of racism.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Generally, states with progressive policies and higher immigration have higher literacy rates, some data: nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaac/skillsmap/…/STATE.pdf,

Data on immigration: usnews.com/…/states-with-the-highest-shares-of-fo…

Exceptions exist for all kinds of reasons.

rimjob_rainer, (edited ) in Veteran Affairs

live during WW2

Spend best years in training and battle

Lose an arm and a leg when defending the rest of the worlds freedom from the Nazis

Fast forward, be veteran

Slight PTSD, wince every time when hearing loud noise which sounds similar to gunfire

Depend on welfare because only 1 arm and 1 leg

“Why do veterans get discounts”

AbsoluteChicagoDog,

Everyone jumps to WW2, actual veterans alive today be like

Sign up for the army

Get paid to the job you were hired for

Shoot some brown kids

Why do veterans get discounts

Kalothar,

Yeah, you sound like a guy who knows what he’s talking about.

Rodeo,

You forgot the part where they get the Big Sad for killing people and so we should all feel sorry for the killers.

Mr_Blott,

“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people. But they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.”

Anticorp,

wildginger, in Why are we not talking about this literacy crisis?

And just how do you expect us to do so? Write about it? Read others written thoughts?

minibyte, (edited )

Even if you could write about it and your comrade could read it, it’s fake news. If you made a video about it, no you didn’t. It’s a deep fake.

Nothing is real, nothing believable. Thus, no reason to be engaged, enraged – whatever.

LillyPip, in Why can't we get our shit together?

Most healthcare in the US is privatised. It’s completely based on capitalism, and once you give the dragon your gold, good luck getting it back.

Aux,

Just like in Germany. But capitalism works in Germany.

vojel,
@vojel@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Bullshit.

Aux,

Wut?

LillyPip,

German and US capitalism aren’t remotely the same thing. Like ‘it doesn’t even seem fair to use the same word’ different.

Aux,

Yeah, because there’s no capitalism in the US.

LillyPip, (edited )

Ha. What?

e: Gonna need some kind of explanation, because your comment made no sense.

Aux,

Capitalism cannot exist under strict regulations created by big corps to protect themselves from competition. This is the opposite of capitalism.

Th0rgue, (edited )

Capitalism is capitalism. What you are really saying is that there are other factors at play that actually make the difference. I guess it’s the fact that in europe (and germany) the goverment governs the free market more. In the united states there is more of a free market and more ‘lobbied’ politicians keeping it that way (the dragon).

Which movie is it?

Alenalda,

Looks like 2001

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

Film is way too grainy, had to be filmed sometime earlier. Maybe '65-70? We may never know.

Barometer3689,

Woosh. He meant 2001: a space odyssey

JamesStallion,

that’s a whoosherang right there.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

DoubleWooosh I know, the movie was produced in 1967

Barometer3689,

Oh my god. It took me a while to figure out what this meant. I guess I was wooshed while attempting to point out a non existent woosh.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

Hey it’s all good, many folks haven’t seen 2001 yet and it’s sad. Keep sharing it!

Agent641, (edited )

It was filmed in 2001 as evident by the title but only released in the late 1960s, thats why it looks that way.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

That makes sense

This is why the android Easter egg should always be a minigame and not just a sprite that changes colours when you tap it.

Octopus1348,
@Octopus1348@lemy.lol avatar

The Android 14 one basically is. Press and hold the rocket to launch, then you can go and find a sun, planets and other stuff there. The objects even have gravity! Not the most interesting, but nice to explore when you’re bored.

wazzupdog, (edited )

You just reminded me of the cute cats that nougat had as part of that version’s Easter egg. I miss that little thing. Android 12’s sucks.

there’s an app(probably multiple) that gives you every easter egg

Yeah. I always knew EasterEggCollection but just found this one.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

the one i have is just called easter egg on nova
