Not an unreasonable assumption.

That or he's a die hard fan, really into that subculture.

I'd never even heard of this guy before and am... basically just ranting... grrr lol

... Delete... all... IP law?

So... just literally make all piracy legal, switch all gaming and tv show and movie production/consumption... to an optional donation model?

Fuck it, why not.

I am both an avid pirate and have a degree in econ, wrote papers as an undergrad on how to potentially reform the DMCA... and uh yeah, at this point yeah no one has any fucking idea how any thing works, everyone is an idiot, sure fuck it, blow it all up, why not.

Don't forget they also spun up their own 'production studio', and... it mostly produced basically the anime equivalent of lolcows in terms of their general reception and percieved quality, always overbudget and/or massively missing deadlines, never renewed for another season.

And then that was shut down within 3 years.

Oh right, and the union busting, also very cool.

... I recently randomed across 'Spawn Wave' on youtube.

... This guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, and I am angry I fell for his clickbait.

'The Switch 2 is more powerful than we thought' is the name of his video.

Foolish, stupid, gullible me... assumed he had some kind of... actually new, concrete information.

Fucking, nope. He manages to spend about 5 minutes reading a spec sheet that's been all over the internet for over 48 hrs now, and he... he opens with 'how can the Switch 2 even run these games?'

... then proceeds to vaguely talk about how chips have gotten more powerful.

... The Switch 2 uses the T239 Nvidia APU. This has been... fairly widely reported on and speculated on for almost 2 years now.

This guy just reads off of these old articles and the official, more vague spec sheet... spending 30 seconds saying each feature is super cool and awesome, somehow without actually explaining... what that feature is, how it works, how its different than some other older tech, what kind of performance would be reasonable to expect...

Nope, new thing is new and cool and neat and better than old thing, technobabble buzzword salad of terms and figures he barely understands.

He describes real time ray tracing as hitting your framerate hard, but we don't know what game is going to use it on the Switch 2.

He then jumps to next next bullet point, DLSS... totally neglects to mention that DLSS is the frame upscaling solution that counteracts the frame rate loss from real time ray tracing... and then says 'people have been questioning if hands on events with the Switch 2 actually show games with DLSS.'

Ok, 5 minutes into this 15 minute vid, he has said... nothing.

'Here's the CPU and GPU frequencies, whatever'

facepalm

'Whoah hey look, GSYNC, that means developers will be able to use VRR and thats good because devs will just know that and be able to design with that feature in mind'

gsync has existed for over a decade and basically every pc monitor has supported gsync, or fsync, or both, for almost that long... and console game devs knowing the features of the consoles they are developing for / porting to has... been the case since consoles existed

'Maybe it'll be 40 frame per second!'

completely baseless speculation

'This one website has been tracking the T239 that had updates and linux distros and stuff'

step aside hannah montana linux and redstar, im switching over to the Nvidia T239 distro

'these frequency specs are just estimates, and even if its off by a single megahertz, its wrong'

facepalm, again

... ok now we are 9 minutes in...

'Is the Switch 2 more powerful than the PS4? Yes, its pretty straightforward I think.'

he says, after giving the most vague and useless breakdown of tech specs i have ever heard

... ok, now its time to spend the rest of the video showing trailer footage for Cyberpunk 2077 and talk about how it will be on the Switch 2.

...

This... fucking guy... spent the early half of his video... having no clue whether or not any games on the Switch 2 would make use of Real Time Raytracing... and DLSS.

... CP77 was basically the most prominent flagship debut of these Nvidia capabilities.

He compares the PS5 handling of cp77 to... his random guess of the Switch 2's handling of cp77... and says maybe it'll be cut down from 60fps to 30 or 40, but it'll make use of variable refresh rate.

... what? the... the ps5... renders ... on your... your tv... the switch 2 vrr ... refers only to the Switch 2's built in display... ???????

I guess I hope you already have a tv you bought in the last 2 or 3 years in your living room, otherwise you're looking at upwards of $1500 for a new living room sized TV, Switch 2 fans!

But hey its fine, its not like anyone is fretting over the Switch 2's price point or anything.

... Oh also basically no TVs that support VRR ... go below 48 or 40 hz. So... uh... that's gonna be quite a lot of upscaling and lowered graphics settings to run at a minimum of 40 or 48 hz/fps ... at 4k.

... Anyway, I just tuned my graphics settings for CP77, after installing decky frame gen and cryoutils, and I'm getting an average of 60 fps on my Deck in the benchmark, settings mosty high and medium, a few on ultra, a few low or off, quality mode for FSR 3.1 and it's framgen, at the Deck's 1280 x 800.

Ah but shucks, no ray tracing =(

I wonder if Switch 2 CP77... will even have a settings menu rofl.

I agree with all of that.

Maybe ... 5 to 10% of Dems, like Federal Congresspeople, State governors... are willing to meaningfully go against pro corporate policies... at least more than half of the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of psyop used to induce or intensify infighting among younger leftists, but I also wouldn't be surprised if ... there really wasn't something specifically aimed at doing exactly that.

I know Russia has been very successfully employing the uh, hyperreality tactic, just fund or assist or influence enough people who are bombastic enough in any political persuasion, publish and spread baseless nonsense all across the spectrum to just sow general chaos...

But I do also think a lot of it really is people just adopting a vocabulary generally shared by leftists and then using it to their own, individual ends.

The thing with the CIA's Simple Sabotage model is that it describes basically every social circle or work environment I've ever been in, or hear about from a friend.

General incompetence and ... wasting time over petty stupid bullshit ... just sounds like the norm in America generally, for pretty much my whole life... but maybe I have just had particularly bad luck with that.

Fellow autist here,, here's my funniest Elon moment:

The cybertruck reveal, softball pitch into the window.

Musk audibly gasps and says 'O-oh myfuckinggod.'

Comedy gold.

That moment, right there, that was the high water mark.

Then, the window cracks, and shortly afterward, his entire general public facade and reputation begin to crack and shattet as well.

I do appreciate a visual metaphor.

Misleading and overly jocular.

It has been 11,182 days since it began.

The... they kept coming, and joining... and the seasons lost their familiarity... their very meaning... it became just a blurring vortex, an intensifying torrent of ever increasing ignorance and rage.

I ... can barely remember now, what it was like before...

11,182 days ... of September.

This is not a normal kind of human interaction, on the girl's part.

It very strongly indicates she is a spoiled brat, a narcissist.

If you think this kind of interaction is normal... well I see two possible explanations:

You are also a narcissist and that's why you think this is normal.

OR

You are surrounded by narcissists who have gaslit you into thinking this is normal, and you haven't had too many regular interactions with non narcissists.

Also, I don't see anywhere near as many total upvotes for 'she's into you dude, frost that cupcake!' as I do for 'this is the biggest red flag imaginable, let me write a short essay explaining why'

In fact, yeah, I don't see a single comment advocating the anon dive into her... affairs, over this.

There is a very fitting song for this.

Garbage - Stupid Girl

Basically, if this is a representative sample of this girl's personality ...

(huge if there, this is a single 4chan post lol)

... then she is a textbook narcissist, potentially to the point of being diagnosable with NPD if she doesn't grow out of this attitude, get a reality check that actually sinks into the subconscious.

A spoiled, pampered brat whose never been told no, who never gets any real, meaningful interaction or validation, and tries to fill that void with a grandiose self image, absurd overconfidence and privelege.

Angelica from Rugrats.

...And my take here would be the same if the genders/sexes were reversed, or some other combo.

It is pretty not normal for anybody to have that kind of interaction with anybody else, to just boisterously state they could have 'insert random person', then have rando anon just flatly reply 'sorry not interested', ... and then throw a giant hissy fit.

I am seriously hoping this interaction occures between 12 or 14 year olds, but looking at the horror kaleidoscope that is social media these days?

Yeah, could be anybody, any age, at this point.

Yep.

It is mostly just revisiting older news from decades before that... as would be reasonable when a newcomer to politics now seems to stand a reasonable chance of becoming President, might want to do a more thorough journalistic background check on the guy.

Leftists critical of Trump, back then, before even his first term, were ... you know, kind of worried about Trump having Hitler in his nightstand table, very, very obviously seeing him as a role model and source of inspiration...

And then they said things like ... is Trump a Nazi? Is Trump a fascist? This stuff is ... quite concerning, along with his bombastic rhetoric and extremely nebulous and fluid 'policies', that all seem to converge on a return to past greatness, hypermasculinity, racism, sexism... all very much in line with ... a populist, which historically very often leads to fascism...

And then almost every one else in the country dismissed that as hyperbolic nonsense, and 'everything/one you don't like is fascist' was born.

... And now here we are, evidently in the bizzaro clownworld timeline, where Trump is 'the joker, baby' all the Republicans are his brainwashed cult of goons, the Democrats almost all as well sane-washed the shit out of Trump untill way after it was too late... and, as is also predictable broadly by history, the leftists, with few exceptions, fought each other over idpol, purity tests and tone policing, effectively negating any coherent opposition.
