if only my professional software supported it…

yeah, there’s a disappointingly small number of effects, and that generally aren’t that crazy.

yeah, different games for different folk. i find this headline promising. it makes me more interested in the game.

for some small context my favorite games include baldur’s gate and other games like it, red dead redemption, path of exile, and civilization. games with either infinite variety in playstyle, or incredibly rich worlds to explore. ideally both.

what are some of yours?

damn, i just have a totally different midset about games. i don’t give a shit about achievements, i want to take time to explore and be rewarded for doing so with interesting extra content that you have to look for.

replayability is also a major factor in how much i like a game. I don’t want to blitz through a game a go on to the next. i don’t get anything out of “completing” it. I’d rather one game last a long long time. i want to keep coming back to it.

more or less every phone has this as well.

i mean, in the video they make it pretty clear that it’s because they were bought out by venture capital and taken public.

i got heartburn just looking at this. that’s literally spiced grease.

i will never get over them fighting with the community about whether the game had multi player when it clearly provably didn’t.

when this game was announced i literally laughed at how badly overpromised it was. that generation of console would never have never been capable of what they wanted. i told all my friends not to buy it because it obviously couldn’t possibly deliver on even half of its claims. they literally just promised everything you could ever want in a space exploration game. the other games that had tried to do that with more resources, more time, and that required better hardware couldn’t even come close to a quarter of what they promised.

they had to know they were over promising. i simply can’t ever trust them after all of that. also, i don’t often like randomly procedurally generated environments in an exploration game. they just get boring fast without someone crafting an exploration experience with goals and points of interest.

because uneducated people are easy to lie to.

I usually go by top of the last 6 hours and top of the last 12 hours. is that just a thing in my app?

yeah, plus there’s only one launcher, and possibly thousands of games.

I’m having trouble following you here, but it sounds like you’re just saying that the other colora are derived from mixing the primaries. that doesn’t make the colors you get from that a mental illness??

is mud not real because it’s just wet dirt? is steel not real because it’s just iron with added carbon? that’s silly.

if your only point is that non primary colors are made by mixing primary colors then congrats, you’ve taught a kindergarten lesson very badly.

oh don’t worry, there’s multiple specific ways to define colors. you can go out and buy a book that literally just has thousands of defined tones and their specific names. chartreuse has a hex code and a specific rgb value for example. you’re right though, laymen don’t have the right vocabulary to define colors specifically.

the only real point you have here is that color is defined by human perception. even the colors you call real are just abstractions based on what range of wavelength is visible to human perception.

all colors are defined be human perception. the only way to remove yourself from that is to use strict wavelengths. or you can realize you are a human and the only meaningful way to define this is by our perception.

oh my God, you don’t make pink by combining red and blue, you make pink by decreasing the intensity of the red.

my whole point was that color is a percieved thing. it is more than wavelength. you are trying to say the only thing that can be defined as color is the wavelength of light. there’s more to it than that. like, congrats you proved that hue is not the only thing that defines color. well done. unfortunately reality exists. we can go and point to red, pink, and purple and differentiate then mathematically with scientific tools. to say that isn’t color is incorrect and pedantic.

hue is just frequency. color includes intensity and color mixture. if you want to say that color is just a percieved experience and isn’t real then sure maybe you have a point, but that means all color.

what you really mean is that pink and other colors aren’t on the rainbow. that doesn’t make them not real.

and yes hue, saturation, and luminance are abstractions. much like acceleration is an abstraction of distance over time over time. that’s why i also defined it by color mixing terms. i can pull out a spectrum analyzer right now and show you saturation and luminance with data.

look at this guy who only understands hue LMAO

light has three parts that are needed to define color. hue, saturation, luminance. the difference between orange and brown is saturation. a thing that affects color visually undeniably. you can’t just throw a hue chart at us and pretend the other parts don’t exist.

you can achieve this result through rgb color mixing by controlling percentages. for example magenta is going to be like 50% red. and 50% blue. pink is just 20% red. your chart only shows colors at 100% intensity and additive mixing. color behaves differently whether you’re mixing light or pigments. light will combine to create white. you literally have to combine the different frequencies. this is additive mixing and where rgb is used. there is also subtractive mixing where color is defined by what frequencies are reflected and which are absorbed. when you mix all the colors together this way you get black, because all frequencies will be absorbed. this method uses ryb as its primaries.

so this all really depends on whether we’re looking at additive or subtractive. you seem to be a little confused on your color swatches there. following additive mixing, like you seem to be, you should say white is real and black isn’t. though neither is true. they’re just 100,100,100 and 0,0,0 respectively.

and all of those numbers combined will still be less than 5% of users.

brother, 99% of users will never even consider installing their own os. the issue isn’t that Linux is hard to install, the issue is that pretty much anyone brave enough to even mess with their operating system is either already on Linux, a boomer, or trapped by professional software that isn’t available on Linux (that’s me, a videographer)

the only way Linux is breaking out of extreme obscurity is if it starts coming pre-installed on commercially available and desirable hardware. the steam deck did more for Linux in a single product launch than the entire decade of combined efforts before that. before the deck i would have said it was simply never going to happen, but who knows. maybe it’ll be up to eccentric billionaires that never went public with their companies to push the Linux future we all want.

you may not know which one is next, but this one is clearly there.

i didn’t say they were equivalent, i said they’re both blights that remain in the past. terrible things that cause mass civilian casualties for decades after the conflict.

one can still be worse than the other, but anyone that uses them should be punished.

or how about this, both of them are terrible for this. i strongly support Ukraine’s right to defend its borders, but landmines belong in the far distant pass. if Russia drops a bioweapon on kyiev will we follow suit? i sure fucking hope not.

grow a spine and actually believe in something for yourself. landmines are wrong, no matter who uses them or why they are used.
