Whatsapp/Facebook is probably one of the biggest offenders. They're one of the ones that got us into this mess.

Now, if only Nvidia was putting out GPUs that were powerful enough to supply 500 fps for most titles at 1440p. :P

All the terrible shit I was predicting would happen when I knew he was going to run again has come to pass. Worse than my predictions, actually. But this was one of the ones I feared. :/

The nappies, lmao. They're really throwing everything in there. Still not sure why it's so expensive, though. They could have done the whole thing for $80k and still had a fat cut.

Huh, where is this? And why is it full of wood?

For more on this, I highly recommend: The Lavender Scare: The Cold War Persecution of Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government by David K. Johnson

It's surprisingly interesting, and most of the landmarks are still visible in DC because to this day, nobody formally acknowledges the lavender scare, and the morons in government are so backwards that they don't even know it happened, lol. Anyways, read the book before you travel to DC, sometime. It's a fascinating read.

I agree, the last genuinely pretty game was Emerald, imo. Diamond and beyond is where 3D assets started weakening the art direction, imo. Either keep the beautiful pixel art, or do proper cel shaded graphics, like windwaker. Personally, I'd stick with pixel art for the strongest possible art direction.

I watched it, but couldn't finish it, for the aforementioned reason. The visuals were pretty decent for a benchmark test, but that's about it. Take a shot whenever the cat falls out of the boat.

Can confirm, especially the smaller sailboats like lasers and such. You can get going insanely fast on a windy day on the lake :)

Thank you! I think that makes sense. :)

And for my husband and I, not really. We have 5w handhelds with 5- 15 inch whips. But some friends are on .5w to 2w radios, which definitely aren't as powerful.

I don't know if there's a point at which longer antennas have diminishing returns on UHF (GMRS), But it seems like directionality isn't too much of a concern, even if people are behind a ridgeline or two.
