  • This is the only good logical argument I’ve heard against it and I’m on board. People get too emotional talking about this and antinatalists generally approach this from a point of logic.

    Most of the arguments I’ve seen so far are from sheltered first world people that have never suffered. They almost believe it’s a choice or that depression is just being really sad.

    They deny that depression can come up from actual consistently repeated experiences that someone can have no control over.

    The fact that most people on planet earth are suffering is what drives the idea. If your consciousness randomly hopped to the next person born on earth, would you want to live that life?








  • If you want to completely crush stuff like Cyberpunk and Starfield you could bother. The only reason I run what I do is that I need a workhorse and make money with my PC too.

    I general I recommend the “Fast Motorcycle” principle for PC building. You can spend extra money for the “Fast Car” or Luxury Car” or even ball out for the “Fast Luxury Car”.

    Depending on the task, a fast motorcycle will get you there quicker than other builds. When building for a gaming PC, just get basic cores with high clocks and spend a bit of extra money on a step up graphics cards.

    I could build a pretty shredding PC for about ~$800 right now.

    Back to your point, a $2k PC is basically a fast luxury car. I could have multiple adobe products open simultaneously, or do YouTube at the same time as Satisfactory or Cities Skylines. It’s a nice to have but if you aren’t doing heavy simultaneous tasks it’s not worth the money.


  • I don’t give a care about anything over 60 unless I’m playing competitive shooters and at that point my graphics are at a minimum. A 1070ti was killing it for me at 1440p 144hz in Apex and even Cyberpunk was running pretty clean.

    It’s a pure luxury to get anything over 60 in modern single player games. Tears of the Kingdom does have frame drops, but the gameplay is so good I don’t care.




  • You made me really interested in this concept so I asked GPT-4 what the furthest word away from the word “vectorization” would be.

    Interesting game! If we’re aiming for a word that’s conceptually, contextually, and semantically distant from “vectorization,” I’d pick “marshmallow.” While “vectorization” pertains to complex computational processes and mathematics, “marshmallow” is a soft, sweet confectionery. They’re quite far apart in terms of their typical contexts and meanings.

    It honestly never ceases to surprise me. I’m gonna play around with some more. I do really like the idea that it’s essentially a word calculator.








  • Yep, I think they made tons of bad design decisions trying to force it to be an esport. I think they went too restrictive too fast. One of each hero per team and having some sort of power-up system would’ve been the way to go. OW2 is just blatantly exacerbating the problems and they keep making it worse.

    Immediately doing role restrictions was actually a bad community suggestion that removed some of the crazier counterplay opportunities. I just don’t think they could balance it in any reasonable way.
