Oh lol, this thread grew into 3 pages without me noticing it. Wow, oh well.
Workout, huh? I do some pushups everyday everytime after I wake up. Living up to my childhood dream of becoming an coldblooded assassin.

Never. From what I read there have been a lot of people blindly following ideas and it caused a lot of deaths. Never become slave to ideolodgy, always look for opportunity for reshaping it into something better, because good is the enemy of better, and the world changes every day. Keep critical thinking on, don't trust anything, even don't trust yourself and ideas that you took for your own that in fact might own you.
We are molded by our environments; it's silly to think that we couldn't pick up some nasty understandings along the way. Exposing one's self to criticism is the most honest way to develop; it will sting sometimes, and there will be plenty of cringing down the road, but ultimately it makes one a better person.
I'm terribly sorry, I misinterpreted a question in a way that changed it meaning to an opposite one. In particular I missed a first half of question (At what point ought one call into question how they identify themselves?) and gave response to only second part (At what point ought one define themselves by external subjects?) which I interpreted as "At what point ought one define themselves by the ideal they carry out?" but it seems that even here I misinterpreted a question and it should've been "At what point ought one to update their ideals to changes in outside world?". I agree that we have to expose ourselves to criticism and not hold onto ideas and definitions we have, because as you said whatever we picked might be nasty and better alternative can be found and also because world changes every day those ideas won't hold true forever. To believe in a ideal is to be willing to betray it. Interesting concept. Could you expand a bit?
It's a quote from second KOTOR by Kreia. To believe into something is to show your confidence in it, in that it will be successful or, in current context, that it will withstand critique. You can't have full confidence in something that you haven't thoroughly checked, and so you have to check everything. But in checking you automatically admit to possibility that the thing in check is flawed and that you betray it for something better. If you aren't willing to subject an ideal to critique, even one that coming from yourself, you can't say that you have a confidence in what is being critiqued. Whether it's okay or not depends on how you presented it and your intentions. You can criticise without knowing full material behind topic but you have to let whoever you criticise know what gaps in knowledge you have, whether you do it or not showcases whether your intentions are good for who are you criticising or not and whether you want to learn. Even if you don't know full extent of problem you are criticising it still might be good for who you criticise as showcased in example above. I'm uncertain of the general application of debate outside of a neutral setting with monitors. Cults and conspiracy theorists infect people through rigorous (and insidiously deceptive) debate. Argument can be dangerous, and if you're not on your toes you can end up helping spread disinformation.
Yeah, that's why we need to keep critical thinking on, don't trust anything and always look to fill the gaps in information we receive. Unfortunately not always (usually never, especially when it comes down to a miniscule details) we can fill the knowledge gaps and not always we have resources or can afford to spend them (time or attention, specifically) to validate the critique and that's a big problem. That said, sometimes we have to critique, or engage in debate or discussion even with gaps in knowledge even in a complex domains such as politics or business, because it is a feedback and without feedback ideas might not adapt and will stagnate with time. Honestly, sometimes I wish we lived in perfect world where unsolvable problems wouldn't exist. But then humanity as it is now would not exist either.

How strongly should we consider the argument of "othered" persons or groups?
To believe in a ideal is to be willing to betray it. Well constructed criticism should be, if possible, always considered, whoever was constructing it put effort in it. Regardless of what purpose criticism served, if we can get a better idea (be it same idea but sharpened or entirely different thing) or at very least recognize the flaws in our current one, it would make us more prepared for the future and give us ability to design whatever idea we have in mind better. More often than not though we can be faced with poorly constructed criticism or even some petty insults, and it's not always easy to work through it and maybe concerns in it aren't worth attention and will get ignored, however we should keep an eye on those too, if we are able to. If some concern is expressed multiple times there might be something that we missed. Note that people ability to communicate and their knowledge is limited, so even if they wanted to they can't provide comprehensive enough criticism for us to figure out what is wrong. In that case we should guess in what domain problem might be and seek for criticism from someone who can find what is wrong. Example: I drew a picture of horse, very detailed, with background, and most of people liked it. However there been people that said that it looks a little bit odd for them, but they can't put their finger on what exactly was wrong. So I found an artist much more competent than me and asked him what he thinks about my drawing and he immediately told me that anatomy of my horse was wack here, here and here and that realism of horse and realism of background doesn't match. When is it okay to censure one prior to engaging in material? Whether it's okay or not depends on how you presented it and your intentions. You can criticise without knowing full material behind topic but you have to let whoever you criticise know what gaps in knowledge you have, whether you do it or not showcases whether your intentions are good for who are you criticising or not and whether you want to learn. Even if you don't know full extent of problem you are criticising it still might be good for who you criticise as showcased in example above. When is criticism necessary and when is it pedantic? I might miss something here, but I can pinpoint some points when I think criticism is pedantic. Criticism is pedantic when you don't care about topic (so you do it purely for the sake of giving critique or maybe you just don't like people behind ideas and you want to critique them on any idea they have) and it's also pedantic when you criticise the idea you already agree with so critique serves here as reminder of drawbacks of what idea you are going with. "When is criticism necessary?" is a hard question for me. Necessary for who? In case it was necessary for me to take keyboard and write a careful surgery in a foreign language where I try to consider every outcome, intersept every response, it's sure not for pedantic reasons. It might be topic I'm interested in very much or maybe someone stepped on my values (despite how little of them I might have). If it's necessary for idea or individual following certain idea, it might be both necessary for them and pedantic from me at the same time. Now that I think about it, whether it's pedantic is quite subjective too. It might seem pedantic from the perspective of person being criticized, but the critic might actually seek knowledge and mutual gain under the premise of critique. Hard question indeed. I should read more, maybe there is something more basic underneath of the critique model and then those questions can be reconstructed using more basic ideas and then answered with more precision. Finally, the most broad question: at what point ought one call into question how they identify themselves, or define themselves by external subjects? Never. From what I read there have been a lot of people blindly following ideas and it caused a lot of deaths. Never become slave to ideolodgy, always look for opportunity for reshaping it into something better, because good is the enemy of better, and the world changes every day. Keep critical thinking on, don't trust anything, even don't trust yourself and ideas that you took for your own that in fact might own you.

I'm so fucking glad I muted Class long time ago and that my eyes don't see his posts.

F
Requesting banning Second Class or at least exiling him/her/w/e into Anarchy so he couldn't post on any other board.

Second Class being on another level of annoying. Anarchy being open for a long while because something. Some old members popping up here and there. Some new members appearing. Err... I don't remember anything else really.

wait
class got couped out of her own discord now?
yeah, although i'm not sure how that even works
i obviously can't stop her, so i might as well make it public what she's doing
fucking lmao I got no clue either
Maybe their discord has inner politics and opposition party won.

I believe the topic of this thread can be surmised without the need of the OP. With that being said, nothing is preventing anyone from whatever Discord server that is from clicking on the link Class posted to Sep7 and going into this very thread and seeing that Class is impersonating Verb.
That would be great!

whoooooooooops
thought i was sending a PM, sorry
Quick, edit the post into blank image
oh but it's too late now, i wouldn't want to invoke the streisand effect
I don't think anyone here cares enough about Class for streisand effect to occur. Also people are slow to notice. For example no one here pointed out how one member edited their own topic into something completely different, by changing title and OP for those topics with 0 replies.

Also this bit triggers me
When hardware has to compensate for unoptimized games
This is a stupid thing to say because of how it ignores the entire thing they're showing off - which is the ability to run extremely high poly budgets. No one is realistically going to actually do this.
Obviously, that's why I said that it triggers me rather than saying that it's bad.

There is not much difference between man and woman in the first place and the differences that exist show up only in extreme cases and they will be gone with time and technology. Therefore trans men are men (but trans women aren't women) just doesn't hold any substance behind it and can be easily discarded.

While fluid contextual animation is cool, I wonder if the character is going to putting their hand on a door/wall every time they're nearby one. That would quickly ruin the immersion IMO and defeat the purpose.
I'm pretty sure that's adjustable so it could be done at random times instead. What Unreal Engine tries to accomplish here is to reduce ammount of effort and developer time needed to set up those events.

I think that if it can render that without frame drop, and with that much detail without a 2d map, we are about to see an insane quality boost visually. Imagine the ceiling when they DO use bitmaps in the process.
It'll render it just fine, using realtime raytracing (and from what I can see on PS5 website they are using custom AMD with it's support instead of RTX, which is interesting), there are already games that took advantage of it like Control. I'm concerned though that developers will run into disk space issues if they are going to use million triangle models everywhere through in their world. That's just too excessive.

Fluid simulation looks a bit odd for me, like the impact from character steps is a bit too strong.

Kinda surprised in the apparent lack of interest in Control here.
Probably because nobody here has seen this game.
