Playing new games is an engaging and a learning experience. It takes a lot more effort to turn on and play a new game than it does to just sit down and watch TV.

People get older and stop putting effort into things and fall into habits so it's natural to not want to make the effort to play games as you age. You probably don't read or search for new music either because those also require effort.

Simply eating less will do it.

Eating less is hard though, because it means you'll go hungry. In order to avoid that you can eat the same amount but cut out high calorie foods. The easiest things to cut are sweets, sodas, alcohol and fried food.

Another thing you can do to avoid eating less (or less of what you like) is increase your energy expenditure by doing exercise.

Heat rises, and the towers 110 story design caused the top several floors to literally became a blast furnace that was hotter than fire could be expected to get. There were fires throughout the entire towers. The elevator shafts were blown-out and filled with flaming jet fuel throughout all 110 stories of both buildings. The upper floors began collapsing, adding weight exponentionally to the lower floors supporting them.

IIRC, the tower that was hit second came down first. How did that happen?

it was hit more in the center and lower in height so the weight it was supporting over the damaged area was higher.

wat

I don't think you understand that most of your qualms are with hardware manufacturers and software engineers outside of the gaming industry.

You want higher resolution/quality textures but you probably don't want games to be 150GB. Also, while current gen consoles are in a MUCH better position than last gen consoles were from a VRAM standpoint there are still limitations. Especially since IIRC both XBX and PS4 share memory between the CPU and GPU. The ONLY thing that textures are taxing on is vram and storage. If you want these assets to be of a higher quality you should explain what you mean because "muh better textures" is a pretty shit and nebulous demand. I'd go so far as to say most modern games are REALLY only limited in this department by artistry and attention to detail not hardware. Uncharted 2 had incredible textures on incredibly shit hardware.

HDR is finding its way into games and that's great. What's not great is that you have "HDR ready" sets that don't come anywhere close to the peak brightness rating to look as intended. This is a problem with the TV and monitor industry, not the gaming industry.

In fact, you didn't reply to any of my actual points. I'm starting to think you can't keep up.

Nah dude, it's actually very simple and it's you who's COMPLETELY missing the point.

Here's the deal in bullet points to make it easier on you.

1. AAA games are made for consoles first, this is what drives the industry forward like it or not
2. Game developers need to optimize games for consoles with set parameters, you can't change them which is why I ignore most of your nonsense posting.
3. These same developers push resolution and leave everything else in the dirt.

I''d rather have games with better textures, framerates and stuff going on on-screen at 1080p but instead the focus is on 4K.

This is dumb. Resolution is dynamic on PC. It's not a gimmick being pushed, it's an option that's selectable. Kind of like how it's been for like 25 years.

Too bad it's not the PC pushing the industry. Check and mate.

PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are direct responses to the increasing ubiquity of PC gaming.

Yeah, and how do those consoles run games? Is it the exact same as the regular versions except in upscaled 4K and 30 fps? Thanks for making an argument that destroys your own I guess.

We were also told Pluto was a planet


Hold the fucking phone, chingu.

Pluto was a fucking planet before 10 years ago. This isn't some case of society arbitrarily picking myths to sell as truths to ignorant children, thats a hard dicking FACT.

It wasnt until recently that Pluto was down-graded to "sub planet" because bored ass nerds need to justify their inflated sense of Reddit-given self-importance.

Humanity creates definitions. It's not Pluto's fault that its status as "big ball in space" is dictated by the capricious whims of Millenials, desperately looking for meaning in the cold abyss of space because they cant find it in their own lives.

So make sure you get your facts straight before you start spouting that ignorance. This isn't the flipping comments section at Huggington Post. This is CURRENT EVENTS

I don't care what age you are, you're a manchild if you still live with your parents. Part of growing up and becoming an adult is being independent and having to face the realities and challenges of living on your own.

You're not wrong, but some people simply don't give a shit about what's "right" and what society thinks about them. For them moving out would simply mean living alone (literally by themselves 100% of the time) in worse conditions with extra work to do and less money because of paying rent.

I know people like this and I've honestly given up or trying to persuade them to try it, they simply see no benefit.

The benefits of moving out are:

2. location might be better for your daily life
3. bringing girls/guys home

That's it, seriously.

Now, if your parents let you do whatever you want, you already live where you want to and your chances of getting laid are low (which they probably are), then I say just stay at home because there's literally no point in having a shitload of extra work to do for your house plus paying rent.

True, the law and actual morality don't always line up. The people who can't grasp this concept show they have a very weak understanding of morality and ethics.

Quick example: People who are super quick to judge anyone who smokes weed (where it's illegal) but are completely A-okay with alcohol. How would they feel during the prohibition? It just shows a complete lack of critical thinking.

People who think the law is equal to what's right are the same people who would happily own slaves if it were legal.
