Yeah, I also remember some games allowing you to choose compressed or uncompressed textures when they first started to be supported by new cards

Mumble is so good!

I mean we had that

I jumped ship like five years ago. Their intentions have been clear for some time.

What “optimization”? It’s obviously not 120GB of code. It’s all texture data, which is certainly already compressed.

I’m pretty sure the main point was getting another million or ten sales for relatively little development cost.

The text does not speak of trauma. Trauma is not “bad things that happen to you,” it is “things that happen to you that break you.” Two people might have the same experience. One receives life-long trauma and one receives a valuable lesson. You might expect people who have been beaten by their parents to be more likely to bear trauma, but this text doesn’t make that claim. You’d have to call on something else.

This text appears to me to be saying that children who witness their parents suppressing their empathy (such as they must to inflict physical pain) are more likely to do the same.

A history of trauma is more common among people who refuse to harm animals on the basis of empathy (as opposed to being plant based for their health or the environment or something) than among the general population. I suspect that empathy is innate. I suspect that people who have experienced trauma have less capacity to ignore, interfere with, and override their empathy.

Because it’s cheap greebling. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbK_98uXAAAaD0I.jpg

Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.

It’s called trauma.

People are terrified of empathy. Empathy is the capacity (or even the obligation) to experience the suffering of others. Suffering HURTS. Empathy HURTS. People will do anything to avoid thinking about the victim on their plate.

The Dungeon already sort of gave up on the original design. Philip Price wrote The City and the extension mechanism that things were supposed to plug into, but the new developers who finished The Dungeon didn’t use any of it. So it was a one-way trip… Except you couldn’t actually transfer characters, it was broken. :-/

The cancelled suite of Alternate Reality games.

Oblivion was the last time Bethesda got any of my money, and I’m not about to pay them again.

“Middle class” IS working class. It’s a false distinction that only serves to undermine our only tool against the ruling class, class solidarity. (I think we’re kind of saying the same thing.)

“Middle class” contrasts with “upper class” and “lower class”, not with “ruling class” and “working class”; it’s the wrong perspective.

Alternatively, why wait twice as long for your python code to execute as you have to?

It’s very convenient not to have to remember a bunch of different means/methods for performing the same conceptual operation. You might call len(x) == 0 on a list, but next time it’s a dict. Time after that it’s a complex number. The next time it’s an instance. not works in all cases.

I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don’t do in Blender I probably do in emacs…
