Interesting enough, it actually messes up some of my students because if you try to do a negative number squared without the parentheses, it does it the correct way of squaring and then multiplying by negative 1. Parentheses fixes it but so do dumb calculators that fuck up pedmas (or more accurately, calculators that only do once step at a time).

For some reason an Nvidia RTX 5090 and 128gb of DDR5 RAM, because whoever designed this game decided it'd be funny to put a target on my back.

If fantasy/scifi has taught me anything, it's because the ancients were larger than us. You'll also find their technology to be significantly more advanced and mysterious, possibly a cure or explanation to the terrible blight that has fallen over the land.

I don't mind 720p at all, but I play a lot of old games and usually upscaling to 720p on PlayStation 2 games and stuff makes a tremendous difference.

Anything older, CRT filters. Bloom and interlacing make games like Super Metroid very eerie.

I admit, I'm tempted to read the AI answer when I search something; but holy crap is it a patronizing waste of time. Just now I was searching about a game and the long page of AI answer essentially boiled down to "kill stuff to get stronger," like brah, I know, I'm trying to look up exact formulas here, you piece of shit.

My questions are never answered by it, and when it tries, it's wrong even with follow up info. Man I really could live without it, lol.

Edit: oh, and this is a relatively new game but on both Google and Bing indexes, the first page and a half are clearly AI generated. Same boilerplate nothingburger answers. No surprise the search AI isn't good, it's regurgitating other AI answers. MAN I could live without it.

It's very interesting to hear your perspective. They're getting hit by propaganda, that's for sure, and I see a lot of Mexican-American men in Los Angeles acting the same way. There is definitely a toxic masculinity problem for young Latino men, as bad or worse than White men.

I'm not sure if half your county is lost, but without proper education and upward social mobility they may remain ignorant. Poverty and religion tends to promote ignorance, and Mexico has a lot of that. At least your president and government seems to be doing a fantastic job from what I can tell (although the bar is pretty low). Universal healthcare, public support for affordable EVs... uh, their own national chocolate production(?), I hear a lot of things almost every week. It might not change overnight but that's how you push for better future generations.

Looks like something you find in Majora's Mask, probably in a desert. At the very least, the horrifying cinematic that plays when Link puts it on is quite fitting.

Like your said they probably know better but I love the idea of a cabin getting shiny smooth metallic plating after it all melts and affixes to the base.

Y'all thinking mules and horses but I'm thinking Satyr for all ones' Greek mythos or demon sex play needs.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply it's a bad thing. Just that it simply is. Plenty of comic artists do that, and I wanted to give context.

Artist self insert, given Lemmy even accused them of being AI despite them documenting everything. That's unfortunately the only way to validate at the moment, although if I'm being honest I kinda dig behind the scenes. It is especially interesting if you can see a beautiful photograph and all the work they put into getting the lighting just right.
