    Did you fix your thread yet? Your description of me is, mathematically, 8% likely.

    Why are there no positive conspiracy theories? Like, "The government is out to make sure I have a nice day." or "People who regularly wear red clothing are responsible for certain foods being delicious."
  • There are. It's called proanoia. That is, the belief that the universe is out to make sure things go in your favor.

    Google says its a real thing :(

    What, did you think I was making it up?

    Oh, wow

    Apparently there was this woman in the UK who managed to convince people she was 3 different boys and had actual sexual relations with the women she duped.

    She got jail time for sexual assault but it is oddly fascinating.

    edit:

    Yeah. It is.

    What, did you think I was making it up?

    Yes because I haven't heard of it before.

  • READ MY CROSS SHIPPING-FANFICTION, DAMMIT!

    i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
    For some reason I was thinking back to last year, when I used to stay up all night chugging soda.

    Fun as that was, it's probably for the better that I don't do that anymore...I would literally go through at least two cans over the span of 6 hours...sometimes even three...
    That seems pretty tame, actually.

    I have a budy who used to drink a two litter bottle of Mt. Dew every day.

    He stopped when he found out he had type-2 diabetes.

    I think even one of the CSIs or a similar show investigated a case where the victim was basically doing this before his death.
  • Yeah. It is.

    Yes because I haven't heard of it before.




    It's more common than you might think. Ouija boards are basically small-scale proanoia.

    the only thing I know about this current olympics is Team USA beat Team North Korea in soccer


    which is not going to go down well in Pyongyang
    Yes, quite the disgrace, seeing that Kim Il-Sung invented the soccer ball.
    Heh.

    this is easily the most arrogant ad I have ever seen.

  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    what's even better: They get the whole "64-bit" nonsense from the two graphics controllers which I'd let slide except they're two 32-bit controllers. There's not a single instance of 64-bit anything used in this machine

    and to top it off, the main CPU is the same 16-bit CPU in the Genesis and Neo-Geo. Atari tried to dance around that fact by saying "the only thing the 68000 does is read and interpret joystick input!" which if you think about it is what every other video game console does too

    ....which is not to say it wasn't a capable machine. It was, for the most part -- well actually no it wasn't. The Playstation showing up a little while later was more powerful and impressive than this piece of shit. Same with the Saturn.

    Super Lazuli: also, that's not as arrogant or bad as Jaguar advertising got. See if you can find the "can you see the elephant in this picture?" ad

    I wonder why the number of bits the CPUs used was such a big deal back then? Aren't most things 32-bit now?

    No, 128 bit IIRC and the DS is 64 bit IIRC
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, it probably started with Sega's using 16-bit as a selling point for the Genesis, back when everybody had an 8-bit NES. So Nintendo had to release a 16-bit console too. From that point on, it was "MORE BITS ARE BETTERS"

    It was a big deal because Sega and NEC made a big deal about it whenever they released their respective machines around the same time in the United States around 1989. Nintendo owned like 90% of the market or something ridiculous and they had to put out something that showed they were superior in some way. Then it got worse whenever SNK decided to get in on this nonsense and identify the Neo-Geo as a 24-bit system which is absolutely fucking ridiculous -- they used the pairing of the 68k and the z-80 CPUs to push this. The thing was, the Sega Genesis had a 68k and a z-80 too. The SNES had a 16-bit CPU and an 8-bit sony sound processor. 

    Thankfully, all this "bits" nonsense died out on the market soon but not after it killed the Turbografx-16. Along with sorry marketing it got out that the Turbo was really only 8-bit -- which means absolutely nothing -- but that really hurt them in the long run.

    MY console has 256-bits
    so there
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    The Dreamcast boasted being 128-bit (which meant nothing) and I think the ARM cpus in the DS and 3DS are simply 32-bit. Not sure, I'd need to look it up again

    THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    And even then, there's two kinds of bits, the CPU word size and the GPU word size. The Nintendo 64 used a 64-bit CPU (the MIPS R4300) and a 64-bit SGI GPU, but with memory so expensive at the time, there was no real point to either besides bragging rights. The DSes all use 32-bit CPUs, but I'm not sure how capable their GPUs are. 

    In any case, the "bitness" of a GPU only really matters if it's a 3D GPU, which is basically a digital signal processor on horse steroids and Miracle-Gro. ( A few really old 3D arcade games, like Hard Drivin', actually used Texas Instruments DSPs as their 3D GPUs!) If you hear it being applied to a 2D GPU, it's how wide the memory bus is (a lot of PCI video cards bragged about having 64-bit memory buses).
  • uh, yeah,

    Jumping back to that John Cage thing, it seems that those two videos were focusing too much on 4'33's natural lulziness. The purpose of that weird thing is to embrace the natural environment as a source of auditory aesthetic.

    In other news, my sleep schedule may be malevolent rather than stupid.

    Today was a weirdly productive day. I got actual work done, I called about my financial aid, and I had time after work to go take pictures of some traffic signs.

    Time to be lazy now, I guess.
