    Misanthrope got a reaction from ImAyaanKhan in What convinced you to switch from Console to PC?   
    Never made the switch: Other than consoles that were gifted to me as a kid I never really purchased a home gaming console (Only a Nintendo DS way back when) I did start to use the home PC for games then decided to buy my own PCs and GPUs to upgrade em and such so I've been playing on the PC since the late 90s

    Misanthrope got a reaction from Sauron in Family of man killed by his Model X on autopilot sues Tesla   
    So...how long before the brilliant PR mind of Musk calls the dead guy a pedophile and securities also go after Tesla for him causing a catastrophic loss in revenue to investors not only on the account of the autopilot but also Elon's dumbass?

    Misanthrope reacted to D13H4RD in Epic acquires Psyonix, will stop selling Rocket League on Steam   
    Here's something I don't understand. 
     
    How exactly would exclusivity in this case help? It's not like Rocket League is a hyped new game or anything, but a game that's been out for years with an already established userbase.

    I want this just so I can watch 21:9 content exclusively on it in the most wasteful fashion possible.

    Misanthrope reacted to AlexOak in Samsung Introduce "vertical" TV   
    It really was $1,600 and not $16,000. 
     
    Summary:
    Samsung announces Tv that both horizontal and vertical, come with Samsung Bixby.  Releasing next month in Korea.

    Misanthrope got a reaction from GOTSpectrum in Vega finally beats RTX? Vulkan strikes again!   
    AMD had technical wins before. What they need is to capitalize on those: a couple of games isn't going to do it and they just don't have the bank to outspend Nvidia when it comes to purchasing developers to optimize (That is to say, they could but it would be risky to eat up all the company's success on processors just to prop up GPUs)
     
    They need to bet heavier and harder on pushing Vulkan and people away from windows. I am not saying is going to be easy or that it will work but there's probably never going to be a better chance to push back and try and gain some market back.

    Misanthrope got a reaction from Ithanul in Vega finally beats RTX? Vulkan strikes again!   
    More visibility in the fact that these are consoles powered by them would work, I definitively think it wouldn't hurt them to put in for more visibility in their overall deals with Sony and Microsoft.

    Misanthrope got a reaction from NoVaGuy in In the wake of Pittsburgh massacre, Facebook allegedly sorry for showing "White Supremacist" ADs   
    Isn't this the second time they've been caught catering to white supremacists? So shouldn't they move from the 'Sorry' to the 'Really, really sorry' phase (Note that this is an equally vacuum statement devoid of meaning or meaningful corrective actions but it at least sounds far more apologetic in it's PRness)

    Misanthrope got a reaction from dalekphalm in Deadmau5 on Floatplane?   
    Yeah I'm sure that's the kind of fucking minefield Luke wants to waltz right into: Embrace a very famous musician that's just been disgraced for indefensible fucking homophobic slurs.
     
    Sorry to hurt the sentiments of the freezed peach crowd over here but this would make 0 financial sense as it would turn away a lot of the current and potential business for both floatplane and LTT going from 'friendly, harmless and intentionally politically neutral tech haven' right into 'Free Speech platform waiting to be taken over by flaming Nazis' just like gab.
     
    EDIT: Also no, I do not care why you think I am wrong and don't need any explanations, do not @ me.

    Misanthrope got a reaction from iPolymer in Valve consults Total Biscuit & Jim Sterling   
    In other words, he went full retard SJW and so did Jim for that matter. And yes it made both insuffereable enough that I stopped watching them because I couldn't get the shit taste out of my mouth even when they were objectively talking about useful, unrelated topics.

    Misanthrope got a reaction from Hendo16 in (UPDATED - Claim has been removed) The Linux Gamer's response video to LTT got claimed by Fullscreen   
    When you enter a deal with a company like Fullscreen, no matter how bad it goes, you're legally but more importantly morally responsible for everything they do. For all intends and purposes until Linus himself immediately breaks all further communication and business with them is the same as if he manually claimed it himself: you don't get to hide behind a company you voluntarily decided to get in business with.
     
     
    Read above: I don't care and neither should you. It's people like Linus still being in business with people like Fullscreen that creates this problem as is on their end to end it immediately without question or excuses.

    Misanthrope reacted to Ashleyyyy in (UPDATED - Claim has been removed) The Linux Gamer's response video to LTT got claimed by Fullscreen   
    UPDATE: the claim has been removed.
     
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    The Linux Gamer did a response video to LTT a few months ago, and his video got copyright claimed by Fullscreen because he used parts of this video:
     
    and here is the video that got claimed:
     
     
    my opinion: i don't personally understand why Fullscreen did this, The Linux Gamer did a response video which IIRC is covered by fair use...

    Misanthrope got a reaction from Lord Mirdalan in Website says Luke is founder of Linus Media Group but not Linus   
    Or...Maybe Luke's friendly and laid back demeanor through the years has been a carefully thought out, makiavelian plan for him to take over the company first, Vancouver next and finally, THE WORLD.
