The Flood / Re: The Walking Dead Season 6 Thread - Sunday 11th October

Oh shit I forgot about TWD.

This makes my Autumn viewing a whole lot better once I get up to date on GoT.

The Flood / Re: How much money do you give a homeless person?
« on: October 09, 2015, 11:44:45 AM »
I don't because as Max has pointed out, I don't have any money of my own.

That'll change once I get an actual income, but I don't give my government loan money to homeless people, there's already welfare schemes that go towards that here, IIRC.

Gaming / Re: Which FPS (framerate) do you prefer?
« on: October 09, 2015, 07:38:34 AM »
As long as it's consistently above 25, I'm fine with it. 60 is a luxury, however.

The Flood / Re: >getting up at 9 for a lecture
« on: October 09, 2015, 05:25:46 AM »
I have 9ams on Tuesday but it's other than that it's 11+ throughout the week.
How are you finding everything so far?
Good. All my flatmates are pretty chill; there's this one Polish dude who's high pretty much 24/7 with another dude in our flat who is Bulgarian and a dude a couple of flats below.

Has the Bulgarian guy exposed you to their foods yet? Amazing stuff they have like Bonitsa and Shishkapek (not sure how to spell those correctly, but that's how they're pronounced). Also Rakia gets you shitfaced and cures colds.

Lectures haven't started yet for me, though I've already done 40% of a fieldwork module by going to place over the last 2 weeks. 9am lectures are the worst to attend, especially if they're as mundane as Statistics. Out of 170 to attend it last year, only about 35 max turned up. One day it fell to 12.

Gaming / Re: Why do most of you guys game on consoles as opposed to PC?
« on: October 08, 2015, 08:10:58 PM »
Speaking in terms of visual fidelity and innate customization*

And I'm also talking about multiplatform games that were also released for PC, not emulation. There are many cases of poorly ported PC games as well, like MGS2, but the vast majority released since the early 2000s function at a level equal to or superior to the console counterpoint.
I know what you meant--I still don't agree, for the reasons I gave throughout this thread. If it's "better" because "60" is a higher number than "30", then that's just a preference. That's your opinion. It's not actually superior.

I don't think that's the point being conveyed here.

here, take a look at this:


15fps is what I would consider "barely playable" (though many would not share my view, having always running games on a console or capable PC). The game could be great in every other aspect, but the constant stuttering bothers me, particularly in games that are emulating reality (which is practically all of them. Life isn't stuttery through my eyes, and probably not anyone elses either).

There's nothing wrong with 30fps, it's going to be relatively smooth with no indication to me (or anyone else, if persistence of vision is believed to be around 24fps) that it's just a rapidly moving slideshow of what's going on. Where 60fps excels at, and is shown very well on this gif, is showing movement. Fast movements at 30fps in games can be seen as stuttering, thus failing the illusion that whatever is going on is fluid and lifelike, whereas 60fps does this better, and 120fps does it better still with even faster movements (though at this stage, there aren't many things moving so fast in a game that it needs it to keep the game playable, so it isn't used as standard in the industry)

It isn't that a higher number is better because the number is higher, it's that it shows movement better, which does make a higher fps superior (although as mentioned, anything at 120 and above is negligible other than boasting to other PC nerds how great your PC is...still pointless).

Sure, Tetris could run just fine with 15fps no problem. But most games today have moved on from that point, and require a bare minimum of 30, with vast improvements at 60 which is now being made the new standard for gaming (just see PS4/X1 compared to their predecessors).

I enjoy both, and personally a PC/laptop is more expensive by being great at everything when really I just want to pay to play games, so I settle with consoles more.

Plus dem gamepads though.

Septagon / Re: How in the jesus grandma do I access messages on mobile
« on: October 07, 2015, 09:15:53 PM »
Click on the septagon logo and then really quickly click the little post icon that drops down underneath while it loads up the main page.

That's how I reach it on my phone, anyway.

Serious / Re: NASA set to announce another discovery. This time, Pluto
« on: October 07, 2015, 09:14:06 PM »
NASA excitement is different from our excitement.

"amazing"= geological formation we didn't know about
"cool"= geological formation we did know about

For me, both are one and the same.

It probably will be something like Pluto having some form of ancient volcanism, or even implied evidence of active tectonics.

If you hate it so much, why not at least try to improve it?

There's nothing to lose if you're figuratively at rock bottom in your life.

Greenified Fallout 4 cover of the soon-to-be-released "Art of Fallout 4" book. I just took the image and modified as a throwback to Fallout 3's cover.

I need the light to constantly remind me to go to bed, not facilitate it.

Also, I have too much reliance on colours to have it on.

Das got banned for bombing a group PM with loli porn

Challenger got banned for telling Door to stop shitposting in Serious and to kill himself

Both lolworthy.

...so why did they get banned?

Mandatory weapons training and combat first aid, yes.

Full-on mandatory military service, no.

Thing is, there is both of those things in/around Olney. And some pre-war Chinese dudes, IIRC.

The power-armour is a two edged sword though.

True, but special power armour is special power armour.

No one can really comment on it yet as the legalese is still being ironed out and the final document hasn't been released. Until then, there's not much to say (or complain) about it without sounding ignorant.


2875
Lolno.

God could just call down Floods, Meteors and other various natural disasters to kill us off pretty quickly.

It's more like he's watching a really long drama series with multiple themes and storylines involving billions of characters, and he's too hooked on the show to turn it off.

Spoiler
That is, if he were real.
