Kitty Jail 2: You Can (not) Escape
TheBytemaster replied to Lethosos's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Ugh. Anyone else getting a bazillion emails about failed LogMeIn account logins? Also: Any more additions? -
I agree, Cory In the House is a blight on society. What a joke. I recommend The Suite Life: Brotherhood. Now THAT is a good anime.

Wikipedia quote of the day, (from the Twitter Wikipedia page, on the topic of the most tweets per second measured.); "The current record as of August 3, 2013 was set in Japan, with 143,199 tweets per second during a television screening of the movie Castle in the Sky[45] (beating the previous record of 33,388, also set by Japan for the television screening of the same movie).[46] Anyone up for the DJ tonight? https://plug.dj/kittyjail -

IIRC, Pokemon Go is even worse in that regard as hardware-wise it uses everything Ingress does plus your camera/ALL the sensors/even more GPU for the AR shtick. -

IIRC, Pokemon Go has imported a *lot* of data the other Nitanic project, Ingress. I'm not sure how close to the center/gym/whatnot you have to be in Go, but Ingress gave you a good 50-70 feet or so of range to be able to interact with the in-game terrain/objects. The build seems fine, no glaring flaws I see, (Other than the lack of an HDD for storage, but I assume you have one already.) It might be worth it to wait until the 1080 doesn't cost an arm and a leg more than it should/get an AIB model. You could put that money into moving from an i5-6600k to an i7-6700. That's totally up to how much patience you have though. What resolution are you planning on driving with the 1080? 1080p? -

Personally sleep feels more to me like a low-power mode of consciousness, kind of like a computer's sleep mode. I guess I just have good timing. Wat. -

Idea: What if when you go to sleep, your consciousness actually dies? And every time you wake up, a new one is born with all the memories of the old? How would you be able to tell? (I am now in the Discord if anyone cares. I am also in the discord if nobody cares.) -
GUH nostalgia. Also a pretty neat song in its own right.

Got blinded by the sun and hit the corner of a wide truck parked on the opposite side of the street as the other parked wide truck I had to go around. Nobody was hurt, thankfully. Brexit is kind of important, you should read the news. TLDR; The universe was created, (which has widely been regarded as a bad move), one thing lead to another, and then Britain decided to leave the EU, which is causing lots of people to have a Very Bad Day™. -

So I totaled my car, and Brexit went through. I'd say this has been a rough day. -

Temperature just seemed like having the correct gear avalible. Didn't watch too much of the gameplay, so I could be wrong. At any rate, I don't have a Wii U. Mayyyyybe I'll get the NX so I can scoop up all the delicious Nintendo exclusives, depending on what the NX actually turns out to be, of course. -

You can make calls with it. It's a productivity tool, right? I've been hearing AMD has made decent leeway in improving their drivers. Hopefully Vulkan support sticks around and is added to more and more games, I feel like that would be the final piece to making *nix gaming truly viable. Also: ZELDA HYPE -

AHHH, forums are back. Anyone know what the cause was this time? Just curious. Anyways, back from my trip. Costa Rica was nice. I read a lot of saved Wikipedia articles on CPU architecture and design while I was gone. Favorite sentence I read all week was: "To resolve this would require the data from memory to be passed backwards in time to the input to the ALU. This is not possible." (emphasis mine) A lot of the logical problems and workarounds involved in pipeline design are fascinating to me. I've played TIS-100, Human Resource Manager, etc, but now I'm curious, are there any games that involve designing cpu logic hardware? (Or similar?) Or have I officially gone off the deep end on what I consider fun? Failing that, any good software for circuit design you could recommend? I'd like to toy around with this a bit. This has been stuck in my head all week: "Something is beautiful and I discovered bravado bourgeois monopolies them, yeaaaeaaaeaaaaaah." Let's see, what else has been... *reads around* *laughs at people trying to get gtx 1080 and 1070* Anyone else looking forward to getting an RX 480 when they drop come end of June? (I'm hoping it will be enough for 1440p. 199 USD for the base model is hard to go wrong with though.) Any thoughts on doing 8GB vram for ~230$ instead? Not sure if I'll need 8GB but I know the 1GB on my current r7 260 ain't cutting it. (Well, neither is the GPU itself but you get the idea.) Anyone attending E3? Highlights? Favorite parts? Disappointments? I've been poking around a tad, but all I was really interested in was a GPU with the full Polaris 10 chip, and that has already not happened. I think there was a shooter someone was developing. ALSO: I have a spare key for Dungeon of the Endless from the humble monthly thing. Anyone want it? -

Ahh, Cryptonomicon, that's on my list. I should go get a copy of that. In unrelated news, why is shopping for a monitor SO HARD? At this point I think I'm just going to get this 1440p monitor I found, but I keep second guessing myself. Should I do that? Get a basic 1080p monitor and save money? 1080p and 144hz? Freesync? Sell my kidney and get a really nice new 1440p monitor? Arrfrghfhhg. Any suggestions? -

Why even bother with that, just put stamps and a label on each part and see what happens. -

Going to record a Duskers Let's Play, using your names for the drones. Let me know if you want something other than your forum name or you have any suggestions. I'd do that too, but we can't all carry a laptop around in our pockets. -

If you want to disable forced spellcheck on Android, use the Hackers Keyboard. Plus it's great for remote PC access, has all the keys you could want. -

The only conference I'm looking forward to is whatever conference or event AMD announces Polaris at. I've decided on getting a top-end Polaris 10 card and putting my new PC together when I get it. Oh, and has anyone here tried Stellaris? We should all talk about it to torture Dwwojcik because he can't get it for another few days. I'm sort of thinking about it, but I'm not sure if I will enjoy it enough to justify the (admittedly quite reasonable) price right now. This typo amuses me more than it should.
