Just read Dregs of Empire, the latest Sun Eater side story. Incredible as always.

Basically anything from Ys, like the intro of Ys II:

Basically anything from The Messenger, like Hills of Autumn. This is the version at the start of the game. Theres a better sounding version later, but posting its kind of spoilers.

About time. Now port SMT5 to PC.

This.

i mean its inconsequential since there's 2 beers in the integral. but the dude missed this (perhaps a typo?) when he wrote:

int _0^inf
10 sin(x) / x dx =
5 [sin(x) / x]

I think it may be a typo upon further analysis because he did divide by two to get the the 3rd line. I still dock -1 mark for typo. And another -0.5 for the lack of humility. This is the loosey goosey shit that crashes space shuttles or sinks submarines!

It was a typo. I cant type for shit on mobile.

Theres two beers in each picture

the beer does equal one

My vision is 20/200, so it just looked like a beer to me.

Either way, everywhere in the equation its a pair of beers, so the value is 2 everywhere that matters.

leafsRULE posted...

wrong lol.

beer = 1.. great effort though!

no.

30 / 3 = 10
(20 - 10) / 2 = 5
(9 - 5) / 2 = 2

Alright, so you made a fake Wikipedia page. That's dedication, I'll give you that.

98% of college grads probably aren't math majors either.

While true, Id say a depressing number of them couldnt figure out that Champagne is worth 10, burger is worth 5, and beer is worth 2.

UnholyMudcrab posted...

I'm fairly certain it's a pseudo-logarithmic application of the Hanson coefficient.

See, I can make up words too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_integral

Champagne = 10
Burger = 5
Beer = 2
Hotdog = x

int _0^inf
10 sin(x) / x dx =
5 [sin(x) / x]

This is the Dirichlet integral with a constant multiplier of 5, so:
int_0^inf 5 sin(x) / x = 5/2

It is on netflix.

Could be seen as an interesting futuristic mad AI scenario

I dont subscribe to anything but Prime now, and I only have that for the free shipping. I think its watchlisted on there, actually.

Have had it on my watchlist for a while as it sounded interesting, but Ive never been in the mood to watch it.

No, we have an actual good Mexican place here so I have no need for that crap.

Its not a bad starter PC, but the 8 GB VRAM is basically a bottleneck now with some games.

Id check into NZXTs BLD service and eCollegePC if thats still around.

If youre comfortable building your own, thats the way to go.

GUN was fun.

Honestly now that youve asked, Im struggling to think of one.

Im going with Kyle, as Jeremy seems like hed be gassed very quickly.

I got the Galaxy 2 earbuds free with a phone, but I find them uncomfortable to wear, too much of a faff to put in, and a bit gross when they get covered in wax.

Bluetooth cannot carry the amount of data that wired headphones can, so you will get a drop in quality if you are using a lossless source. If you are listening to YouTube music, or 256Kbps Mp3s, it won't make any difference, though.

While true, I dont think any phone has a DAC good enough that you could tell a difference between FLAC and say, 256 bit Opus, with wired headphones. Particularly if the headphones are at all difficult to drive.

Yes. I walk around with only one earbud in a lot so people can still talk to me and such. But thats for listening to podcasts, audiobooks, and YouTube videos. I need stereo for music.

I go there for certain things that are cheaper there, especially between Sams Club trips, as Sams is about 45 minutes away and Wal-Mart is 20.

Well what do you expect as everything about the Mega Drive was superior to the SNES.

Patently false, as its library and sound were objectively worse off the top of my head.
Also, with rare exceptions like Mortal Kombat and Aladdin, if a multiplat got made for both systems, the SNES version was almost always better. For example, Turtles in time was better than Hyperstone Heist, TMNT Tournament Fighters was better on SNES, etc.

Still havent seen this movie. Ive been slacking.

Its in contention for best satire of all time, so remedy this immediately.

Kamil posted...

Cowboy movie in the artic north. That could work. Or is that just the Empire Strikes Back. Hmmmm.

A lot of the most beloved westerns are just western ripoffs of Akira Kurosawa movies, and Star Wars was basically just Lucas ripping off Dune and Kurosawa lol.

Enclave posted...

Since when did a movie already existing have people in the industry today say they couldn't make it again?

In this case, you couldnt make it again because the thing it was created to kill (the civilized TV western) is already dead.

This is an excellent video essay, you beat me to it.

Because theyve historically barely had any exclusives to speak of, and almost all of them have been multiplayer shooters (that are worse than Unreal Tournament, which came out 24 years ago, but I digress).

Smallville posted...

the xbox elite controller does not use aa batteries? the regular series x controller does?

Nope. Honestly Id prefer it using regular AA batteries. All lithium ion batteries weaken over time, and eventually you have to replace the device because the battery has gone to shit. This is the main reason people get new phones as often as they do.

With regular AA batteries, you can just buy a couple sets of eneloop rechargeable batteries, and when one set needs charged you can swap in the other one. When the batteries are too weak to hold a good charge,,throw them away and get new batteries.

I dont really need one as the PS5ks exclusives seem to mostly be coming to PC 6 months to 3 years after release, but Im considering getting one to replace the PS4 to play PS4 games with better performance, and for the odd PS5 exclusive which may not come over, like the Demons Souks remaster.

Ive been using a Dual Sense Edge as my primary controller since it came out. I love it, but the battery life is shit as has always been the case for PS controllers. It needs charged every day or two. The Xbox Elite Series 2 probably needs charged once a week or two. The Switch Pro controller has like 80 hours of battery life or something absurd like that.

Hmmm. Aside from working out I dont do anything to really sweat, but I dont know if I could stand the funk from working out for 7 of the 10 days.

Not sure why Highlander should be included in this over something like Police Academy.

No Highlander movie has ever made significant money.

Highlander
Budget: $19 million
Box Office: $12.8 million

Highlander 2
B: $34m
BO: $15.6m

Highlander 3
B: $26-34m
BO: $36.7m

Highlander Endgame
B: $25m
BO: $15.8m

Highlander: The Source
B: $12m
BO: $213k

vs.

Police Academy
B: $4.5m
BO: $149.8m

Police Academy 2
B: $7.5m
BO: $115m

Police Academy 3
B: $12m
BO: $106.7m

Police Academy 4
B: $17m
BO: $78.6m

Police Academy 5
B: $14m
BO: $54.5m

Police Academy 6
B: $15m
BO: $33.2m

Police Academy 7
B: $10m
BO: $126k

I mean it took 7 movies before one was a commercial failure for Police Academy (and 7 was largely a straight to video release) and unless you think one is better than the first one, I'd say it qualifies.

Well, all the Police Academy movies are good, and almost all the Highlander sequels suck, for one.

Kitt posted...

There are more than five movies worth of Highlander sequels? The hell?

Anyway, I want to add Police Story and Ice Age.

I think the made another one after The Source, but The Source was so terrible I didnt watch it.

I fucking love Highlander: The Series, though. Will probably buy the collection of that.

Welch is blonde, so Judi wins by default as blonde has been ruined through sheer ubiquity so many women dye their hair blonde.

Havent played the first one, and Im not likely to anytime soon, as I hate playing anything on Switch. I bought the first two games when my PC was dead, but I got it fixed before I ended up playing them.

The president is objectively far less important than Congress. Honestly unless theres something they can veto or a Supreme Court vacancy opens up, there doesnt seem to be a lot for them to do domestically.

I did know a Chase. Not well, as he was 5 years older or so, but he was one of those overachiever types that was valedictorian and won all kinds of wards and such.

My name is Tyler, and Ive never liked it, because my parents picked it for the stupidest possible reason, as my dad used to be a brick mason, so he was a layer of brick and tile.

I prefer the PlayStation layout for most of what I play, as mod of what I play is 2D, so I prefer the D-pad being on the left prominent. If Im playing something 3D, using the left stick on a PS controllers bothers me a lot less than using the D-pad on a Xbox controller does.

you know Samus is basically just Ellen Ripley, dont you?

This gives me strength. I will be able to forgive a lot of things if they get the Forsaken consistently right.

I wouldnt say they got them right exactly. But the actors portraying the two of them there are stole the show in season 2.

They did get Ishamaels motivation right though.

Yes. Had a Nexus 6 that I dropped probably a hundred times. The screen was cracked but still worked fine. Then one day I was at Hardees with a friend and had it sitting on my leg. It fell two feet or so to the floor, shattered the screen and broke the digitizer, so it was completely unusable.

If you havent read the books, it might be good. If you have, its mediocre at best. Season 2 is better across the board than season 1, but its still meh.

Though I will say if you like Lanfear season 2 is probably worth watching. They did some stuff with that character thats dumb and nonsensical but its fun to watch.

Was N64's audio hardware better? (Genuine question.) That could account for it; even infinite storage won't do much if the hardware outputting the sound is inferior.

Kinda like how a natively 1080p image displayed on a 1080p monitor will look better than a natively 8K image displayed on a 480p monitor.

I honestly dont know, but from memory I think they were at least comparable. Its not like one sounded like radio from the 40s and one sounded like radio from the 90s.

Trumble posted...

Very, very few PS1 games used CD audio.

Yes, because WAV files are huge. But 700 MB still gives you a lot more space to play with than 64 MB does, so any instance in which the 64 MB storage ended up with better audio than the 700 MB one means someone fucked up hard.

Theyre basing it entirely on the most recent 4 elections while ignoring an event from 2 decades ago, is not as strong of an argument as you think. Al Gore would never perform that well in the Florida of today. We grew up thinking of Florida as THE swing state but times have changed.

Yeah. Couple this with Obama basically being the most gifted orator in politics and Bill Clinton being the second, and this take is even dumber.
