  1. Nothing says "fancy date" like eating Sonic in a Kohl's parking lot in a Saturn wagon. Then again, it's perfect for the both of us.
  2. I gotta wonder if motherfuckers who build PCs realize that this hobby only makes up a tiny percentage of what most hardware companies sell.

    Pokemon community's reaction regardless what's…

    "But I don't want [insert something they wanted]" "Then why did you ask for it?"
  4. I have a very hardline stance against drinking and smoking anything - much different from the rest of my family. I'm an extremely dry and hard-edged person, if me being here for five and a half years didn't give that away.
  5. Orange juice Apple juice Lemonade Chocolate milk I'm very boring, but unlike my mom, I can tolerate lactose! I also don't drink because that shit's fucking garbage and you're probably garbage for drinking liquor.
  6. Day 2 was a resounding success, even if @pinksnowbirdie almost lost his wallet lmao

    Kinda pissed at a response I got in a thread right now, but this is more or less a general rule of thumb for me.
  9. I hate hate FUCKING HATE when motherfuckers try to play me like I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. 

    Don't try to quiz me on what a fucking resolution setting does in a game when I know exactly what it does by actually analyzing that shit. Try to play me like my name was Nintendo GameCube.

  10. Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated's resolution settings operates independently of anything else in the game. It also has a setting for general visual quality and anti-aliasing. I know my eyesight's starting to get on at my old age of... 20, but I could quite easily pick out how much shittier 60% scale looked compared to 80%, much less 100%. There's a point where resolution scales can work - I play Tower Unite with an 89% resolution scale and it's almost unnoticeable to me compared to a flat 100% scale at 2560x1600 - where I'm sitting much closer to the monitor instead of when I play BfBB on my phone with a controller. It helps that the game's TAA solution isn't bad at all. But playing something like Team Fortress 2, a game that very much leans on MSAA rather than anything post-processing, at anything besides native resolution makes the game look rough. And it's not like I can't play a game at native resolution. Just ask my boyfriend. I've managed to trudge through more than a few PS2 games scaled up to my monitor hooked up to a capture card. My name is very much relevant here, for once. But I'd rather not run shit at native resolution, it can make things look ugly very quickly. I learned that when I played The Crew 2.
  11. I'm gonna be honest: resolution plays far more of a factor in image clarity than anyone ever expects it to... I say that because most people don't realize this until you've experienced how chunky shit can look on a phone screen. Case in point: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. From a ~2.5ft viewing angle on my iPhone SE, I can't tell much of a difference from the High settings and Epic settings for resolution scale. I believe High is the equivalent of an 80% scale while Epic is native resolution. Medium is roughly 60%. I could see a very noticeable difference between Medium and High. If I can tell the difference between Medium and High on a tiny ass phone screen (for reference, an iPhone SE 2020) then I'd most certainly be able to discern it on a much larger laptop screen - much less my 30" Behemoth from Another Era. I really dislike playing at non-native resolutions in most of what I play for that reason alone - because it looks unclear. I couldn't put up with an APU unless I could really play most of what I wanted at native resolutions.

    I'm gay, it's to be expected.
  13. Can I just say that wearing a grey v-neck and a pair of grey form-fitting dress pants works really fucking well?

  14. I've got one: the 8th generation of consoles was more important than we realize it is currently. It was the generation of learning many things - physically-based rendering, temporal antialiasing and optimized data streaming methods, to name a few. But there was a lot more than that which became not only common, but essential to that generation that's going to be expanded upon in the 9th generation of consoles. I oughta name some more: Dynamic resolution setups Image reconstruction, i.e. checkerboard rendering Deferred rendering pipelines Multi-core data handling to exploit higher core counts over raw power Just to name a few off the top of my head. As a matter of fact, I don't think we've had a generation of learning how to utilize hardware in such an efficient manner even when comparing the 8th generation of consoles to the 6th generation. Boil most of the techniques used to get games running good and/or looking good on those consoles down to the core and the remainder of what you have is relatively simple: reducing geometry counts, rendering at lower internal resolutions, lowering texture resolutions and sacrificing audio quality. The 8th generation went far more into preserving all of the above while trying to preserve image quality too.
  15. Hey, I've been a member since 2016... ...to be fair, you've probably been a member longer than that lmao.
  16. The implication was less of "50% of a 1650 is excellent" and more of "50% of a 1650 at 10 fucking watts in an SoC package is REALLY fucking impressive; letting it run unchained would probably get most of the way there, if not way more".
  17. I've been meaning to buy another power supply for more than a little while now - one that has a PCI-Express power pin on it, at least. Indeed, I did just that.
  18. ...eh? Maybe? Could be argued that you have a little more of a tomboy-ish appearance rather than crossdressing entirely.
  19. Yeah, I guess ultimately I've never had a reason to question if I felt that I wasn't male - even if I like crossdressing.
  20. I've never got the hype for IBM ThinkPad keyboards. They just felt like a good laptop keyboard and nothing more, really. Note that this comes from someone with a T23, so if I have to go older than the late 1990s to understand, I'm not going to understand because I'm not a Subaru Legacy-driving hipster.
  21. I dunno if it's good or bad if I could write about why I'm male (and identify as such even in that case) in less than a page.
  22. You can get very consistent results outta CS and Tomb Raider - antiquated as they are. Have fun getting consistent results with Warzone and Fortnite.
