Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?

Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? - Pawb.Social

Like I’m not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates. BUT. I’m also old. And depending on when you ask me, I’ll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask as my favourite game of all time. The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it’d choke on those too! … And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it’s better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable. Yet like. I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it’s Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at… 45. And I’m like – Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

Why DO credit card companies make a stink about adult content anyway? - Pawb.Social

This meme [https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/50bc5e6b-5f9f-4da3-9d8a-228dffff059f.png] made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back. And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff. It holds true in lived memory, but like… … Why? I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like – Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you’re an advertisement company, then “how other corporations perceive you” is what you live and die by, which forces the whole “corporate sanitisation” thing down on the users. – So like. It does make sense, even if it’s hateable. But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot – It doesn’t? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) – Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are… Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?

you should have followed the basic linux guide and remove french language with rm -fr / then you wouldn’t have any problem

I miss the old days when you could do
ls -R / | aplay

There’s no sudo, so it’s perfectly safe!!

Show threadCount Regal InkwellMay 7
There was a thing you could do with cat /dev/random into aplay, and get some fun “Music” but you needed some other parameters to get anything other than brown noise.
Show threadsuperkretMay 7
Mine is basically the same, but since it pipes your filesystem layout into aplay instead of random bits, it’s not just brown noise.
It plays you the song of your system.
(also, it can damage your speakers, headphones and/or ears)

    Yes with one caveat

    I don’t remember when I made or chmodded this grass file in my home

    I just saw it in the directory listing, went “why did I do that”, then chuckled and said “I’ll post this stupid thing on the internet”

    Maybe you tried “sudo touch grass” before.

    That’d probably lead to the privilege issues, but is easier to forget about.
