Bulbasaur even has a sweet spoiler for that extra traction.

I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.

Bruh, if a package update breaks something, I just roll back the BTRFS snapshot.

Hätte mich interessiert, inwiefern sich das zu Filmen, Serien und Büchern unterscheidet. Die patriarchalische, pathetische ~~Pastete~~ Geschichte vom heldenhaften Jüngling gibt es ja bestimmt in allen Medien, aber die Ausgestaltung der Mutter wird sich je nach Medium unterscheiden.

In Büchern kann man mit ein paar Sätzen relativ viel des Alltags vermitteln.
In Serien wird vielleicht auch mal eine Folge lang die Mutter im Fokus stehen.
In Filmen wird es wahrscheinlich doch recht schnell abbehandelt, aber man kann trotzdem bildlich noch recht gut Aspekte wie Schwangerschaft, drölf Kinder und Anstrengung einfangen.

Das ist bei Videospielen deutlich aufwendiger, wenn man es nicht sowieso alles in einer Cutscene abfrühstückt (was aber dann natürlich wieder andere Unzulänglichkeiten hat).
Finde das insgesamt einen interessanten Aspekt bei Spielen, welche Themen umschifft werden, weil man es nur schwierig darstellen kann.
Beziehungsweise auf der anderen Seite dann wieder, dass die allseits beliebte Gewaltdarstellung in Videospielen so inflationär eingesetzt wird, weil es sich neben trivialer Dramatik auch für Gameplay meist gut eignet.

I use a similar feature on KDE (along with a KWin script for tiling) basically just to set the background color of my translucent panel, so I can quickly tell workspaces apart. 🙃

I'll often browse Lemmy by Top 6 Hours or Top 12 Hours, depending on when I last checked, and if I get through all the posts, I'll start browsing via 'New' sorting...

Bin so ein Extremist, der auf keine der drei Sachen Lust hat, auch nicht auf Seefahrt. Jetzt gibt's immer lecker Open-Source und evtl. habe ich auch etwas zu viel Spaß mit meinem selbstgebrauten Quatsch. 🙃

Yeah, fair response. I started writing that comment thinking "if it's in high-end hardware now, it'll be broadly available in 10–20 years".
Then with the last sentence, I realized that it isn't in high-end hardware, not in the form that allows you to throw out all the tricks.
And with publishers simultaneously wanting ever more fidelity, which makes it more expensive to calculate appropriate raytracing, yeah, I would be surprised, if that happens in our lifetime, too.

I guess, I'm personally somewhat excited at the thought of not having to learn all the tricks, with me having dabbled in gamedev as a hobbyist.
But yesterday, the (completely unilluminated) 2D gravity simulation I'm working on started kicking in my fans and you see me immediately investigating, because I'm certainly a lot more excited about making it available to as many people as possible...

I feel like gamedevs and game publishers are more excited about raytracing than consumers, because it would allow them to throw out the entire range of ~~smokes and mirrors~~ tricks currently used for simulating lighting. Which makes the code simpler and cheaper to implement.

Raytracing is really the more obvious way of implementing complex lighting, it's just always been out of reach performance-wise.
Well, it still is. Games still use those same tricks and then only mild raytracing on top for the finishing touches.

Louis Rossmann. He's only one employee of FUTO, so I'm not saying he's personally responsible for or even particularly agrees with that page (although I wouldn't know, if he is), but his public support for FUTO pushes those fanboys in that direction either way.

I believe, feddit.de was first. Then the admin of feddit.it thought it was funny and copied it, and then it kind of became convention...
