Don’t know why you got down voted for that. HDR might be the only reason I use 11.

Link to the Past for being my first. Twilight Princess for the modern era.

You mean lease it? Rent it? Own implies it’s mine period. Not mine until they decide to remove it. A bank can’t take away your house cuz they feel like it after you’ve paid for it.

Gamer here. Go fuck yourself Ubisoft. You can quote me on that.

I don’t know what that means. I don’t think we are communicating. Just talking past each other. Be well.

Ok, well, I hope that works out for you. Really do. Weapons got us where we are today for better or worse. If you pine for a life in the woods, that’s certainly a way to live life. But regardless of what you decide, the tech isn’t going anywhere. And your competitors will be using it. And those who abhor weapons can still die upon them.

This is true, but it’s neglecting one variable that does complicate the math slightly. There is greater air resistance at highway speeds. IIRC at 60mph 50% of your power is lost due to the air resistance.

So yes, if we lock the speed to a fixed value and compare them, then regenerative of course doesn’t increase the range more than not stopping at all. But that’s the nuanced gap in the discussion where misunderstanding is going to reside. That’s why you two are on different pages. Someone is assuming equal air resistance (speed), and someone is assuming a comparison of average city miles vs highway miles.

Neither is necessarily the ONLY way to look at it. It’s all relative.

So? Does that undo the work you accomplished and submitted?

Look, I’m not going to spend more time to convince everyone they are going to screw themselves by being stubborn about AI tools. It’s going to be paradigm shifting tech. It’s the invention of the calculator, the Internet, the smart phone, etc. all over again. If you refuse to learn it, I am very confident you will be left behind, like a coal miner in an old company town.

I’ve already used AI to write functional working code for me. We are already rolling it out in medical practices. My friend are already using it to modify game code without even knowing anything about coding.

It’s a new way to learn and accomplish things. Technology is a tool to be used. If you don’t believe that, why are you using technology at all?

But can you see how it COULD be useful? How you can be creative with your problem solving? You can use it to spitball ideas to yourself.

Have you played with AI tools yet?

That kinda talk will get me shot!

People place different values on time, money, energy, etc. Just because you find it too expensive for the effort, doesn’t mean someone who has more money and less energy would make the same judgement.

Everything is ground up. Local elections first, and so on and so forth. By the time you get to federal, the spirit of the entire government will have already shifted more towards the will of the people.

Absolutely. But that involves being politically engaged. We have a government that doesn’t serve the people because people aren’t engaged. People spend time arguing politics but can’t be bothered to vote twice a year. We have abysmal voter turnout rates in every metric.

Our presidential elections are the highest turnout, and even that is laughable, and that’s arguably the LEAST important election. Mid terms are worse turnout than that. Off years worse still. And primaries, which I’d argue are the MOST important election because they let you change the core spirit of the two parties, have the worst turnout of all.

We need to vote.

While I don’t disagree, there is also something to be said for being a savvy consumer. Stop buying their shit. Do your research. If people spent as much time researching their decisions as lamenting them, they’d be happier with their purchases overall.

I haven’t paid for printer ink in over 10 years. I’m still on my starter cartridge for the laser printer I purchased that far back.

Thanks for the example! I’ll definitely check that out.

Super Metroid (SNES)
Final Fantasy VI (aka III in US on SNES)
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Eternal Darkness (GameCube)

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

Didn’t he say that it’s a framework for protocols, not a protocol? Or am I parsing the comment incorrectly?

This is true that it is a likely reason. It is also possible that Gabe Newell runs his company in a very deliberate way because he thinks it’s a net benefit to both his company and gaming in general. From what I have heard, which of course may be a flawed understanding of the man, it seems like he has certain principles. I guess the question is whether or not a person believes intent matters or only the end result.
