I think it was a CoD that big but it might have been some other AAA perennial. Either way, 4K textures are huge when unoptimized and in the era of gigabit internet and digital distribution, devs don’t feel much pressure to optimize.

Sony ain’t gonna lose shit. Exclusives will ensure people buy their shit.

And CoD is 250GB or something.

I don’t disagree, but it’s hard to think of many states that are still around today that haven’t done evil shit. If you’re against the idea of uneven trade and exploitation of developing countries, it’s probably not impossible to find a moral state.

If you value privacy, fuck off into the woods at this point. It’s looking pretty likely increasingly invasive spying laws will get approved in many different countries.

Cool. A federated Discord might be the easiest solution. If you’re gonna self host I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just use teamspeak, though.

Do you feel limited by only having 16GB right now?

I’m more of the hate the game mentality. Valve came up with a system to seriously limit the impact of scalping, and it’s not the only system that’s been used.

AMD could have addressed the problem if they actually cared to. I’ll hate them instead.

Project Farm is highly reliable on YouTube. If the exact model Todd tested is no longer available, use your best judgement.

Fluxer is just Discord 2 and likely to go the same way. The website changed pretty quickly but there was an older version talking about monetization models and what was basically Nitro by another name.

If people are serious about wanting to ditch Discord, the answer is going back to decentralized systems, not replacing Discord with a nearly identical app that has the same vulnerability to the owners getting greedy.

Well obviously I’m hinting at an… extralegal solution to the problem. But I doubt anyone would up and do it.

With the way people feel about animal cruelty, the guy will be fortunate if he doesn’t end up in that field himself, if he turns out to have been getting his rocks off by murdering dogs entrusted to his care while taking public funds for their care.

But then again, I would’ve said the same about child cruelty but you look around and see all these nutjobs protecting pedophiles so maybe I’m off base.

Hopefully they can account for all of the dogs being dug up and discovered. I was under the impression cremation was standard for euthanized animals. Certainly, all of my family’s dogs and cats were cremated when they passed. I suppose that might be expensive if they don’t have some sort of agreement with a local crematorium and lack an incinerator on site.

Randomly burying dogs in unmarked graves just seems sketchy, though.

You don’t see an issue with a no-kill shelter, which takes in funding because it’s a no-kill shelter, killing the animals under their care?

Yes. If being evil was what defined whether a nation was failing, I’m pretty sure the world would have nothing but failed states.

How can you possibly believe that morality has anything to do with whether or not a state is stable?

Ahhh, okay. Yeah 3 grand would get you a beast. Or, you know, like a car or something.

I think people willing to pay that much are idiots that don’t deserve the money they have, though. Somehow I don’t think that’s a mom or dad wanting to get a Nintendo for their kids or whatever.

Not by much less. I’d say you’d need at least $800 to be sure to run most games at at least 1080p60. I’ve been playing with pcpp lately, using Belmont’s Curse as an upcoming game with fairly tame recommended specs (10th gen Intel and a 3060), and I couldn’t really come in under $800 after case, reliable PSU, etc were all factored in. Maybe if you went for specifically used/secondhand parts but I limited my choices to just new or manufacturer refurbished since used inventory will vary widely in availability and price from area to area.

Of course, the minimum requirements are like an 8th gen Intel and a 1650. So you can probably hit 1080p60 with a lot less than the recommended.

I’m curious how low we could go, requiring all parts be new or manufacturer refurbished. I tried for $500 but couldn’t get anywhere close.

Even as grim as things are getting there’s still a lot of people with far more money than they deserve.

Way too small to be a coyote. Even the smallest coyotes are at least 3ft/1m long and weigh around 30lbs/13kg.

And you could have looked up information instead of vomiting nonsense everywhere but instead we’re here.

I just figured that since you’re such an obvious expert on the subject, you’d just know.
