I seem to recall him meeting with convoy leaders during that whole shitstorm. Way to “de-escalate”.

Sic semper Nazis.

This comic is routinely terrible trash.

Makes sense. You quoted earlier:

We’ve finally reached a point where buying Zen 5 makes sense financially, but it’s still far from an exciting upgrade.

And this advice makes sense in its context but also is very much like “An iphone 17 isn’t a meaningful enough upgrade over an iphone 16” and not really like “an iphone 16 probably isn’t worth buying anymore if you want something with long term support, but if you have a 16, the 17 isn’t really worth it for you; if you are upgrading from a 12, you might as well go 17 for <benefits>.”

I came by these processors while fleeing intel earlier this year. Maybe my use cases are different than other gamers. Based on where I wanted to deploy the computer, trying to pull 800+W (including the GPU) was going to not work with my wiring. I also like to air cool if I can since I don’t want to have to maintain a cooling solution if it works.

So when I looked at these processors earlier this year, the 9600x (which was also on crazy sale) was a huge coup, because it runs 40W cooler than the 7600x, while slightly beating it in performance and offering access to Zen5 architecture and faster RAM. I didnt get the hate.

I’m sort of understanding that the mainline hate people have for these processors is that the 9600x isn’t a big improvement over the 7600x, but if you were coming over from outside the architecture, the 9600x seems like a no brainer if you’re buying into zen 5

Sure it has every color but does it have our specific color?

I’ve worked with so many people like this, they are afraid of code (I used to be afraid of code too)

Sigh. There are just too many things to play, do, worry or think about to fuck around with people who have already shown you who they are. I liked the original game, like 20 years ago, and I’ve liked hundreds or thousands of other things in between. What I’m trying to say is these people can go fuck themselves. I don’t care if it’s the publisher, it’s the whole crew they came in here with. Fuck off.

Mate, Australia’s listening

Yes, because I was talking to the other person who’s been all over this thread talking about their specific experience.

Are you the person (alt) I was asking this of?

That’s not what I’m asking. You designed or built something for some users. They didn’t like it, or didn’t use it as you expected. Was your response to change the software or blame the users for not using it correctly?

In all your software deployments did you blame the users for not getting it or did you redesign the software because it sucked (according to your users)?

After being out of being a direct practitioner, I will say all my direct reports are “faster” in programs we use at work than I am, but I’m still waaaaaaaaaay more efficient than all of them (their inefficiencies drive me crazy actually), but I’ve also taken up a lot of development to keep my mind sharp. If I only had my team to manage and not my own personal projects, I could really see regressing a lot.

Adobe sucks balls as a company but, my man…

Seriously, after we cleared out so much room for them, too

CachyOS is an arch based distro like Steam OS. I use the handheld version, so we may have similar experiences trying to run xbplay

I don’t have a steam deck, but on my LeGo I am using XBplay that connects remotely to my Xbox and that’s how I’ve been game-passing. (Running Cachy, btw)

if only we could all be big brains like you tranes.

Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff. Actually now that I think about it my grandma was mean at Burger Time back in the day.
