i will never get over them fighting with the community about whether the game had multi player when it clearly provably didn't.

when this game was announced i literally laughed at how badly overpromised it was. that generation of console would never have never been capable of what they wanted. i told all my friends not to buy it because it obviously couldn't possibly deliver on even half of its claims. they literally just promised everything you could ever want in a space exploration game. the other games that had tried to do that with more resources, more time, and that required better hardware couldn't even come close to a quarter of what they promised.

they had to know they were over promising. i simply can't ever trust them after all of that. also, i don't often like randomly procedurally generated environments in an exploration game. they just get boring fast without someone crafting an exploration experience with goals and points of interest.

because uneducated people are easy to lie to.

well hold on now, they might have kind of a fucked up point if the metric for quality of customer service is strictly defined by customer retention.

most of the isp customer service I've dealt with explicitly tries to make it hard to cancel and swap services. if that has stopped enough people from switching then the goal is met. it may not be our definition of what good customer service is, but they didn't define that. strictly speaking, they're not technically wrong to say that some customers are still there because of their customer service.

not trying to defend them, just trying to guess what they might use to support their argument. it's disgusting and shitty either way.

I usually go by top of the last 6 hours and top of the last 12 hours. is that just a thing in my app?

shit, the number's right there. could ask.

so you're weighing a hypothetical genocide over an actual occuring one?

i mean it was coined less than 2 years ago. you can't expect a word like that to take off immediately. it took about a year to circulate into common use.

yeah, plus there's only one launcher, and possibly thousands of games.

please look things up to confirm before you comment.

this is not true. Russia is not included in this stat. Russia is way bigger than America on its own.

why does everyone on this website have wild misconceptions about the size of America and Europe. it goes both ways, I've had to fight Europeans that thought America was "nearly as big as eastern Europe" on here before too. why are so many people so confidently incorrect about such an easily confirmed fact???

you need to familiarize yourself with how Map projections distort the shape and size of land masses, because that's the only way i can imagine you got this idea.

it's not even close, Alaska is way smaller than Europe. go look to some actual statistics. with all of its landmass combined the United States is 0.98x the size of Europe. it's smaller, but barely. they are nearly exactly the same size if you made them both into a circle.

I'm having trouble following you here, but it sounds like you're just saying that the other colora are derived from mixing the primaries. that doesn't make the colors you get from that a mental illness??

is mud not real because it's just wet dirt? is steel not real because it's just iron with added carbon? that's silly.

if your only point is that non primary colors are made by mixing primary colors then congrats, you've taught a kindergarten lesson very badly.

oh don't worry, there's multiple specific ways to define colors. you can go out and buy a book that literally just has thousands of defined tones and their specific names. chartreuse has a hex code and a specific rgb value for example. you're right though, laymen don't have the right vocabulary to define colors specifically.

the only real point you have here is that color is defined by human perception. even the colors you call real are just abstractions based on what range of wavelength is visible to human perception.

all colors are defined be human perception. the only way to remove yourself from that is to use strict wavelengths. or you can realize you are a human and the only meaningful way to define this is by our perception.

oh my God, you don't make pink by combining red and blue, you make pink by decreasing the intensity of the red.

my whole point was that color is a percieved thing. it is more than wavelength. you are trying to say the only thing that can be defined as color is the wavelength of light. there's more to it than that. like, congrats you proved that hue is not the only thing that defines color. well done. unfortunately reality exists. we can go and point to red, pink, and purple and differentiate then mathematically with scientific tools. to say that isn't color is incorrect and pedantic.

hue is just frequency. color includes intensity and color mixture. if you want to say that color is just a percieved experience and isn't real then sure maybe you have a point, but that means all color.

what you really mean is that pink and other colors aren't on the rainbow. that doesn't make them not real.

and yes hue, saturation, and luminance are abstractions. much like acceleration is an abstraction of distance over time over time. that's why i also defined it by color mixing terms. i can pull out a spectrum analyzer right now and show you saturation and luminance with data.

look at this guy who only understands hue LMAO

light has three parts that are needed to define color. hue, saturation, luminance. the difference between orange and brown is saturation. a thing that affects color visually undeniably. you can't just throw a hue chart at us and pretend the other parts don't exist.

you can achieve this result through rgb color mixing by controlling percentages. for example magenta is going to be like 50% red. and 50% blue. pink is just 20% red. your chart only shows colors at 100% intensity and additive mixing. color behaves differently whether you're mixing light or pigments. light will combine to create white. you literally have to combine the different frequencies. this is additive mixing and where rgb is used. there is also subtractive mixing where color is defined by what frequencies are reflected and which are absorbed. when you mix all the colors together this way you get black, because all frequencies will be absorbed. this method uses ryb as its primaries.

so this all really depends on whether we're looking at additive or subtractive. you seem to be a little confused on your color swatches there. following additive mixing, like you seem to be, you should say white is real and black isn't. though neither is true. they're just 100,100,100 and 0,0,0 respectively.

yeah, op is bad at explaining so...

THIS ISN'T A SPOILER IT'S AN OLD MEME WITH THESE CHARACTERS ADDED.

hope that helps.

bro, this isn't a spoiler. it's a different meme with these characters added.

my defeatism comes from the politics around climate change.

so we're on track to avoid the apocalypse under current policy, too bad there's a global shift to right wing authoritarianism happening around the world at the worst time possible for the environment. so many countries are walking back on climate policy and agreements. just like good IT security, when it's working right no one will notice the good it's doing, so many just see it as waste. or worse, they only see the burden it imposes on them.

I'm partially convinced that it's just human nature to forget why we prevent things every 3 generations or so. i think it's only a matter of time now that we have the technology to actually destroy the world. we have to be able to prevent it every time, but they only need to succeed once. it's going to be nearly impossible to create effective climate policy for a quite a while if trump kills the epa like he wants.

yeah lol, I'm often plugging in slightly high impedance headphones that it just can't drive very well. it's never seemed worth it run run a dac or get a special pair of phone headphones. i rarely use it that way anyway.

but yeah, pretty much every time i plug them in i have to confirm i want to hurt myself before it will allow them to be set to a useable volume.

and yes, i do still have a headphone jack, they are still out there if you're willing to not get a super expensive phone.

i didn't say he was great and did everything we needed, I'm saying this isn't nothing. yes it could have been a lot more, but this is the first time we've seen anyone make even close to this much progress in decades. no other president has even mentioned antitrust in decades.

i think busting up major corporations and limiting their influence on people and politics is the single most important thing we need to be doing.
