Desktop pricing is its own dumpster fire, but when did laptop GPU pricing get so much worse?
Spending $1,100 to get a laptop with an entry-level x060 GPU feels insane, especially with AMD’s integrated GPU technology getting fairly competitive.
The same with Google’s recent Doom demo, this is just for headlines and nothing else. Non-deterministic AI generation is antithetical to what a game is, unless it’s an art game focused on the very fact it’s non-deterministic.
For example I played Super Mario Bros. and notice now if there’s even a 5ms delay in the controls. It’s instantly frustrating that my actions are non-deterministic in that small way. You need the game world to be persistent and reliable, and there is an extremely efficient way to do that right now, with code.
Making AI generate it is a parlor trick that is doubly worse - both unreliable and far more expensive to generate.
There are enemies in the demo. Like Superhot, they don’t attack until you move and the AI redraws.
Narcissistic abuser tactics, as usual. “I’ll be so good to you, babe, the beatings tariffs will stop if you become my wife 51st state.”
Most people get older but there’s never a magic moment they become “adults.” Many times people retain good qualities of childhood as they get older - curiosity, desire to play with others, a desire to learn. And many times they retain bad qualities of childhood - selfishness, lack of self-awareness, impulsiveness, impatience, tantrums.
This administration, led by Trump as the exemplar, is just a collection of people who got older but never stopped being children, in the worst ways. They have no self-awareness and just do whatever they feel like. Then they cloak it in the language of “adults,” lack the curiosity to investigate if they’re right, and throw a tantrum if someone tries to stop them.
