Should’ve named it sanguis christi or something then if they wanted to drink
- Comment on "It's a brave new world": GTA 6's PC port will release sooner than you think to avoid losing money to AI rip-offs, says former Rockstar tech director 4 days ago:
The PC version is developed along with the console ones but since it’s a much more free platform, they want as many people as possible to pay for it before it gets cracked within days on PC.

The existing app is based on electron. It pretty much can’t be optimised unless you manage to greatly reduce the footprint of Chromium itself.

Honestly sounds like LLMs have learned that from half the rust projects I’d seen before the LLM craze lol

Trouble is that’s like 2 grand or more just to be able to run Strata.

Having some CIA contracts doesn’t automatically mean the company is a CIA front lol.
Ellison is an Israeli asset though and that’s documented.

Perhaps not enough companies printing?
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 Download Size Revealed To Be 210 GB 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but compared to 1.5 years ago, storage is up 2x at least. Even HDDs are more expensive than same size NVME SSDs used to be, it seems.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 Download Size Revealed To Be 210 GB 2 weeks ago:
They throw in massive poly count models with high resolution textures and ever bigger game worlds, then (on PC) let you scale down the quality.
Only real solution is having high res textures as a separate download which some games do but if the console can handle them anyway, there’s less reason, compared to PC where you might have a lower end graphics card that can’t handle 4K textures anyway

Current gen consoles have NVMe thankfully so that bullshit is now obsolete at least
- Comment on Epic's Tim Sweeney believes AI notices on Steam are a "political statement" for the "hate mob" 2 weeks ago:
It’s actually easier to grab the games from their website because the old launcher is so slow. New one is a bit better, but at the end of the day it’s still a wrapper for the website.

They’re costing Epic money and not actually playing the games so idk who fell for the bait tbh
- Comment on Leap seconds being retired next year to avoid wreaking havoc on computer systems — International measurement organization makes move to simplify atomic time tracking 3 weeks ago:
You guys getting permanent DST? I’m so fucking jealous. Winter time here means dark by 4 PM and it doesn’t even make sunrise early enough to see it after work.

The messy bit is calculating how long ago something was in the past or how far in the future
- Comment on "We vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" because "programming is hard", announce company we're somehow supposed to see as a serious Steam competitor 3 weeks ago:
It took Steam more like a decade till people didn’t hate it tbh. Does nobody remember the steam logo anal gif? Steam was forced on anyone who wanted to play HL2 and nobody liked it.
- Comment on Futuristic mosquito-zapping laser now available to buy, video shows device in action — tiny device shoots down bugs like a personal air defense system, but costs $1,000 2 months ago:
Idk, the mosquitoes at my place this year are so plentiful and small (hard to hit) that multiple people have asked me where the fuck those are coming from.
If you live in the suburbs of a big city you don’t know what mosquitoes are. I live next to the forest and this summer the forest is nearly impassable on foot or bicycle apparently. Which kinda sucks because I wanted to go foraging for mushrooms soon.

I’m sure they’ll still find some way to get out of the house and bother me when I’m outside.
