I wasn’t talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.

But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

iPhone 4 was a glass sandwich though. Do you mean iPhone 5?

People do be different.

Anybody would be in a bad mood that they have a torture appointment and then very happy that it’s over.

We could use any other torture method just as effectively.

Wait… people get dopamine from exercise?!

I believe my Bravia was showing 1080p when connected to PS3 via HDMI, but I might be misremembering. But yes, it had inputs galore on the back.

And it accepts 1080p, but downsamples it to the resolution you mentioned.

The proper response is:

Is it weird that I can tell this is a Xiaomi store?

True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there’s a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn’t there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it “realized” it’s named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn’t google properly. It’s a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under “UHD Color”. Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth…

Maybe they are mixing him up with Jimmy Fallon? Kimmel is perfectly watchable based on the few times I saw him. Can’t stand fake Fallon though.

I only know the House M.D. intro song, but I do like it. Mezzanine, I think?

Sure, he might be doing it for the wrong reasons, but at least he’s doing the “right” thing. Isn’t that the best one could expect of him?

Criticizing someone else’s censorship in order to defend your own right to free speech is as valid a reason as any. In fact, I’d say it’s the very point.

This seems NSFW, but I’m unsure why.

It’s clearly pussy-trapped, not booby-trapped.
