    I've seen some idiotic comments on Twitter and YT as usual that were either fairly positive or at least neutral about the Stadia release of CP2077, which is just what I expected. They keep saying "so what?", "doesn't affect you" etc. Well, by standing neutral or accepting against a platform that is in direct competition with your favorite platform (PC) and also is likely going to have a significant adverse affect on the quality and availability of the games on it, you basically renounce your right to complain when one of your favorite games fall victim to an exclusivity deal, just like the one mentioned in the video below. You should just keep that in mind.

    I personally take issue with developers who offer their games on platforms that aim to kill off game ownership. Especially when they are known to have been advocating against DRM...

    The Matrix 4: SJW Edition... by The Wachowski Brothers Sisters... coming soon to theaters near you... https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49416629 Didn't they kill off Neo in the last episode?

    These companies are just one side of the coin. How can these companies stay in business with these blatantly obnoxious business tactics? Why do people still spend money on these type of games? I only have one possible explanation, either people are getting more and more stupid or stupid people are getting more and more money, or both.

    The first thing they patch is a Cheat Engine in-game money exploit... in a "single player" game... which means that if they have content to sell you, they cannot allow you to get it for free. Pretty much sums up Bethesda's attitude about free content, such as mods, in the future. By the way, I would rather call this particular game as Wolfenstein SJW Edition.

    No one, literally no one, who work in companies like these deserve any respect or sympathy and remember, even pirating the games made by these companies works in their favor.

    By the way, is it me or does The Witcher has now "Dark Elves"?

    Damn, it'll take time to "unsee" their choice of Yennefer and Triss.

    So this is what GOG has turned into... 6 Baldur's Gate portraits for $2... How pathetic... https://www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_faces_of_good_and_evil They've already annoyed me before on numerous occasions and now I'm sure they aren't any different than any other platform. I wonder what other crap they've added to the store both as a product and as a feature... not sure I wanna know...

    My name is Woke, James Woke... Bond's number is up: black female actor 'is the new 007' https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/15/lashana-lynch-new-007-james-bond-daniel-craig You know, it doesn't take a genius to realize that this pro-SJW agendas will eventually backfire horribly and I will have no sympathy for these people when it does.

    Enjoy the unkillable children and NPCs in CP 2077... or more accurately, enjoy the cancerous PC/SJW developers and games made by and for retarded millennials... https://gamerant.com/cyberpunk-2077-npc-kill-shoot/ https://www.mmorpg.com/cyberpunk-2077/news/plot-npcs-and-children-cannot-be-killed-in-cyberpunk-2077-1000053108 https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/cyberpunk-2077-without-the-ability-to-kill-children/zce16 https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/cyberpunk-2077-attack-npcs/ https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-will-let-you-fight-most-people-but-not-kids-or-story-npcs/ Good job CDPR, you've been consistently dull and predictable. Guess I'm not even going to be watching LP's of this shitty game.

    This is where our "civilization" has brought us...
  13. bjornk
    Most likely about Cavill's recent selfies... Why do you even care? You can be sure it's gonna be some PC SJW shit.

    If time "slows down", wouldn't that make you move slower, as if you move in slow motion? And what if the movement in slow motion is what we perceive as "normal"? What if we actually live in an already "slowed down" universe? Let's assume for a moment that the universe "works" at the speed of light or somewhat close to it, wouldn't that mean time has already slowed down for us? Maybe the universe created by the Big Bang has already ended, if you observe it from outside the universe, but due to the speed of the universe we are still experiencing it, like the guy in the fast moving spaceship. Maybe our universe was just a "spark" to some...

    And I'll stick with Symbian till I die, thanks.

    Time, as a concept, was created by humans. What the universe has, is states. Time doesn't exist independently, as in, without the universe. In fact, that's what Stephen Hawking says, time basically starts with the Big Bang, in other words, as soon as the universe started changing its states, time also started to mean something. What we call "time" basically represents the distance between two of these states in terms of a single day on Earth (e.g. how many Earth days are there between two states of the universe). We even define a "light year" in terms of this made up unit. If the smallest unit of time, e.g. Planck Time (which is 10-43 seconds) can represent the smallest change of states in the universe at the subatomic (quantum) level then maybe the states aren't infinite, but I doubt it. Another question I have in mind about the implications of Time Dilation, which basically states that time slows down for a very fast moving object. Assuming it's not one of our misconceptions and really is in the nature of the universe, what would it imply? If time slows down for you when you move very fast, it would mean that you'd witness less changes in the universe. Does that suggest the universe runs at a certain (fixed) speed?

    Much like having many different distributions and that's most likely why a lot of people prefer IOS to Android. It's the same deal with Linux vs. Windows as a desktop OS.
  18. bjornk
    I believe most humans have a misconception about what time is and I myself have had the same misconception until very recently. We believe that time exists independently and things happen in the universe because time flows. As if there's a ticking clock outside of the universe and the universe runs with it. That's why a lot people ask questions like "what was there before the Big Bang?" and it's also what creates the misconceptions about time travel. Time is actually a concept that we humans created in order to identify and measure the sequence of observable events in the universe. The scale we use for that relies on the movement of our solar system, the Earth and the Sun particularly. It actually doesn't exist on its own. When we talk about "a point in time" what we mean by that is a particular "state" of the universe. The universe keeps changing its states, not because time dictates it, but because it has energy. It changes, creates, destroys things, both in cosmic and subatomic scale, and it has infinite number of states, but of course, we are only interested in the states that we can somehow observe. We don't care about what is going on at the atomic or subatomic scale. Our perception of "time" or rather the changes in the universe is directly related to our size in comparison to the universe as well. What would happen if time somehow slows down? Less things would happen in the universe. What if time stops? Nothing would happen. These questions and answers aren't inherently wrong, the problem is with the perception about time. In order to slow down time, you would have to slow down the universe and to stop time, you would have to stop the universe. Neither of these can be done as long as the universe has energy in it. Going back in time means going back to a previous state of the universe, or changing the universe back to a previous state, while keeping your state unchanged. How are you going to do that? By pressing the universe's "UNDO" button infinite amount of times? And also, we ARE part of the universe and changing the universe back to a previous state would also mean that changing ourselves back to a previous state. In other words, we'd have to UNDO ourselves. That would require much more energy than the universe already has. What about going forward in time? The same story. You'd have to accelerate the universe while keeping your state unchanged. First of all, you'll never have the amount of energy to do that and again since you ARE part of the universe, you'd have to accelerate with the universe, which means you'd get older much faster and would die before seeing the future. So, to put it simply, you cannot go back or forward in time, traveling through time is IMPOSSIBLE, it's just a FANTASY. Is matter a form of energy? Look at this famous formula... E = mc² Doesn't it say so?
  19. bjornk
    A few hypothetical questions bugging my mind: 1. Can matter continue its existence if time stops, or if you just suck out all the energy in the universe? Or would it dissolve into nothingness? (possibly) 2. Related to #1, is matter in fact a form of energy? (possibly) 3. Does "going back in time" mean that you'd have to undo the entire universe, including yourself? (definitely) 4. If moving at a faster speed slows down the time and stops it completely at the speed of light, does that mean the universe works (i.e. changes its states) at the speed of light? Which kind of suggests that it cannot affect us if we move at the speed of light? (no idea) If anyone has better answers I'd love to read them.

    So is Android OS for mobile devices, both of which prove my point about standardization. Don't know what happened to SteamOS, but it may have the potential to change the scene a little bit for the desktop PCs.
  22. bjornk
    One of the main reasons as to why Linux still isn't an alternative to Windows or Mac OS as a desktop OS, is the lack of standardization and as long as things stay that way, Linux will never be able to replace Windows or MacOS as a desktop platform. Remember, a wider acceptance of Linux as a desktop platform came with the inclusion of "standardized" desktop environments (KDE, Gnome etc.) in distros such as Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu etc. If it was left for say, Slackware, you can be sure that not many people would want to go anywhere near Linux. Still more standardization is required and in an open-source environment only commercial corporations or governments can lead such a task, which doesn't seem very likely to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Linux The first thing Linux needs to achieve is to standardize itself and then encourage, even force application developers to adhere to those standards, just like how Microsoft certifies 3rd party Windows applications. That's how you can achieve a standardized desktop environment. Is it doable in an egocentric open source development environment? Doubt it.

    The game isn't likely to support Vulkan either, otherwise they wouldn't just write Windows 10 only on GOG. They worked with NVidia in their last title, so this one will probably only support NVidia's features as well. AMD cards will just run on the plain DX12 API without any specific NVidia feature including ray tracing, that's not even real ray tracing but whatever...
  24. bjornk
    Doubt they can force it as neither PS4 or XBox One supports hardware RT, but it looks like the game only supports DX12 and judging by what they did with the hairworks etc. in TW3, they will only support NVidia's version of RT, in other words, just the RTX cards.
  25. bjornk
    Naturally, there will be people who are more than happy to pay M$ for their "service" and will tell us about how others do the same thing, how it all makes sense etc. Fuck, I hope I won't be around to deal with yet another wave of bullshit from these complacent idiots...
