In the 80's, it was easier to develop better engineering practices to add transistors (and other physical components) to actual hardware in order to boost overall “computational power”. Hence the Moore’s law. It was very dead-on as the following decades would see tremendous advances in chip design.

Sure Moore’s Law is dead. Does that mean that it’s impossible to engineer a better card that costs the same as the previous generation did a couple of years ago? Hell no it doesn’t. Read more

I wasn’t aware of the rattlesnake post. Might’ve been disqualifying. Read more

I just want to take a second and reiterate that, yes, My Chemical Rom- [account deactivated] Read more

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

MissMikkaa is an Elden Ring champ. Her progress is genuinely impressive and entertaining. Dancepad run going on now is especially interesting! Read more

Cloudflare needs to shut KiwiFarms down. People have died because of them and people will continue to die because of what KF does. I really fucking hope Joshua Moon is held legally liable for something.

Good work Cheello, your work is magical :D Read more

I worked social media for the tournament and the music was one of the most universally praised things on Twitch and Twitter (for me personally, Tee Lopes is welcome to do all the things). Job well done by all the musicians! Read more

Constantly blown away at how cruel we’ve made this world. Read more

Bridget was never that important narratively to Guilty Gear’s (albeit nonsensical) story. So I think her having a moment of realization in her arcade mode is a perfect way to move the character forward. Honestly I think this is a fantastic transition (no pun intended) for the character as it does feel like a natural… Read more

I appreciate your input, but to me, that’s a bit like saying “we have all the Ed Wood reels in somebody’s basement, let’s not put more work into this trash director and his trash filmography.” Read more

This is super cool. I hope that more obscure systems, like the Gamate or the Watara SuperVision, will follow suit. In the context of game preservation, they’re probably more in danger of being lost to time than any of the Game Boys.

In my opinion, you can tell whoever made the decision to go live with this update is very out of touch with the playerbase. The damage control we see now could have easily been mitigated with some feature focus just before releasing. Now it’s probably a couple sprints of crunch to get the vocal community and… Read more

I started a discord server called Ancients of VRchat* last year (basically it was originally aimed at older (by internet standards so 30+ )people  , although at this point anyone over 21 can join ).There’s 4000+ members now . I’m finding it interesting as to how they’re reacting to this .Some are cautiously…

Sounds like their biggest problem is just a complete lack of communication/interaction with their userbase. This whole thing sucks but I am sympathetic to the needs of stopping hackers and malicious actors, however springing this on the community with a one day notice? When they knew mods would be caught up in it?… Read more

I understand the need to crack down on malicious actors, but this seems like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Read more

However you feel about Keffals, this is an attack on trans people by some of the worst people online, including Kiwi Farms. And Twitch is just gonna allow themselves to become their weapon. Read more

“I don’t think civility politics works when I’m engaging with people who don’t even view me as human,” she told the Washington Post earlier this year. “ Read more
