    It’s smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.




  • I’m kind of in this boat myself now and am thinking about if I should try to get diagnosed. Had it not been for adhd memes on Reddit and here I would never have identified the commonalities. I feel like it might be a stretch, but my procrastination is legendary around the house and my flaws seem pretty ADHD symptoms.

    I’ve just feared seeking a diagnosis in that it might have negative repercussions on my life, (which I generally like as is), but I’m giving it more thought now.

    Point taken. I suppose I mean sarcasm not satire. /s is really a sarcasm indicator, not just satire.

    There are, however, other instances of satire that aren’t text based such as much movies (eg dr strangelove, Galaxy quest) or spoof movies as well as most political cartoons. But those sometimes are misunderstood as serious as well.

    Sarcasm comes across much better in person than via text, which I’m sure you agree with.



  • Yeah, this seems really smart to me, as long as you can avoid the obvious problems with it being submerged in fucking corrosive as shit saltwater. Makes way more sense than using A/C since the ocean is a giant heatsink.

    I am guessing OP is worried about either these things being a driver of why the oceans are heating up (not the blanket of CO2 around Earth in the atmosphere from decades of fossil fuel powered binging) or the ocean being too hot to effectively cool these things, which also doesn’t seem plausible outside of very specific locations/depths.

    I think this would be better than doing it on land, however I also think that it’ll be costly and need to be over-engineered to survive the environment and not worth it in the end (as MS has apparently come to the same determination).


  • That’s a good and healthy way to approach this. Nicely put.

    Bettering the world’s situation is a legislative/political issue. Bettering you and your immediate community is something you can help with, even if it’s only at the margins.

    The problem with all this, however, is that there are a lot of the things that you can do to help your personal situation that are definitely not helping the overall situation. For example installing air conditioning, watering your lawn, etc. They might make things more comfortable for you, but they’re by no means better for the world. We still need to incentivize the right things through the right tax breaks and financial/industry incentives, which lead us back to politics being the actual thing that we need to make meaningful personal and global change possible.
