When people message with a "hi" or "hello" and then say nothing more till I reply.
It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can't you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.
I don't think anyone playing any game has that expression on their face while playing.
Close to 15% India's energy needs already being met with solar. What do you mean "why not invest"?
The problem with anime is that some of the most popular ones suffer from the issues described in the meme. Take death note for example, immensely popular. But the female characters are mere props with one massively problematic female character's infatuation with the lead driving half the show. It's just unwatchable if you don't like that kind of thing.
I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.
The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don't miss my flight.
Not gonna happen though. I'll just have to book another ticket for next week. That's the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I'll never see again.
Agree. Never heard of bereal either
The earth has never produced a single drop of alcohol
Oh boy, do I have news for you!

Granted it's not produced in the tree, but it's basically alcohol by the time people take the sap container off the tree, no human intervention needed.
How do you make a magnet?
I agree that the top end gpus are shit at efficiency and we should could cut back.
According to Steam survey, 4090, 3090, 6900XT, and 7900 XTX combined are being used by about 1.7% of gamers.
This number is, of course, inflated (at least slightly) because people who have money to buy these cards are also more likely to buy games and people owning older/cheaper cards are more likely to be playing pirated copies.
The top tier cards are showcase of technological advancement. They are not really used by a large number of people. So there's not much point. It will only reduce the baseline for next generation, leading to less advancement.
I'm someone who doesn't care about graphics a whole lot. I play most modern games at 1080p Mid/high on my RTX 3060.
And yet, I totally agree with your points. Many times, older games had rich looking environment from a distance, but if you go close or try to interact with it, it just breaks the illusion. Like, leaves can't move independently or plants just don't react to your trampling then etc.
A lot of graphical improvements are also accompanied with improvements in how elements interact with other elements in the game. And that definitely adds to the immersion, when you can feel like you're a part of the environment.
