| Topic | Why the fuck was Charizard's signature move seismic toss? |
| DarkRoast 07/12/20 11:09:49 AM #8 | Squall28 posted... Yeah because it's so weak that you use it to weaken pokemon you want to catch. It's not a finisher unless you just want to save PP. Or you put it on a Pokemon that's a tank with no attack and use it to chip away at the opponent alongside something like toxic --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/12/20 10:59:17 AM #8 | ScazarMeltex posted... This has been the view of literally every doctor that I've talked to. Speaking from personal experience, the hospital for which I admit patients did an internal study for hydroxychloroquine, as well as an antiviral, can't remember the name (not remdesivir), and hydroxychloroquine actually had slightly worse outcomes than the control group. Granted, I don't think our sample size was large enough to be a good published study, but it certainly was nice to have first-hand experience. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/11/20 11:07:20 PM #6 | ElatedVenusaur posted... It is extremely gross these companies are quick to blame non-COVID factors for the deaths of their employees. It feels like victim blaming, honestly. I think it's fair to at least ask for a source, though. Going by the Tweet alone, I can't help it feel like there's more information. It doesn't make a lot of sense for someone to die of covid-19 and the employer respond that way. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| Topic | No Mans Sky is half off on PS4 right now. Is it finally a game worth playing? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 11:01:09 PM #4 | It's amazing now. Seriously. But it still has to be the kind of game you're into, otherwise it will feel pointless. Granted, pointless with a ton of content, but still pointless. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | BURGER KANG is under fire after trans employee dies |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 10:58:29 PM #2 | BK is to blame if they asked her to work while she was symptomatic for thought in any way that she had covid-19. But frankly, going by the Tweet alone, there's nowhere near enough information for any reasonable person to come to any conclusion. Also Burger Kang --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/11/20 7:15:46 PM #8 | For all the hate that NVIDIA Experience gets, it seems to do a pretty good job tailoring settings automatically to meet your expectations for frame rate vs. quality --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | Supersampling is superior to anti-aliasing, correct? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 6:55:22 PM #6 | monkmith posted... its most useful for older games. i do it when i play skyrim. I noticed NVIDIA's software actually lets you force SS on older games that don't even have it as an option. I think I'll try it on Skyrim. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | Supersampling is superior to anti-aliasing, correct? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 6:54:51 PM #5 | DarthAragorn posted... yeah it's the best method as far as quality I'm pretty sure I set Metro Redux to 8x SS and the FPS dropped from like 200fps to 45fps, and I couldn't figure out why it got wrecked so hard despite relatively minor improvement in jaggies. Now I realize I just made it 8x the native resolution of 1080p lmao --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | Supersampling is superior to anti-aliasing, correct? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 6:48:35 PM #1 | Basically, rendering the game internally at a higher-than-native resolution and then displaying at native resolution. The downside obviously being that it requires the GPU power of displaying at a higher resolution. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | Are these pretty good benchmarks for a stock SSD? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 5:24:41 PM #1 |  I keep hearing that the goal for an NVME 3.0 drive is 3,500 read and 3,000 write, so it looks like I'm way under the read goal. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/11/20 11:10:05 AM #24 | I don't know why people keep saying Switch games don't go on sale; in my experience it's the first Nintendo system where you actually can get their games on sale. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/11/20 11:07:03 AM #25 | g980 posted... Wow i used to trust snopes but not if theyre bootlicking this cover up Reminds me of the time when a bunch of qanon types got upset at Snopes for debunking one of Q's predictions, and when the prediction didn't come true, they were still mad at Snopes. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| Topic | 'Let's just keep schools closed for a decade while we work this virus thing out' |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 10:51:10 AM #25 | REMercsChamp posted... What misinformation am I spreading? People are refuting my points with insults, ad-hominem attacks etc. They don't have any arguments. You know deep down there isn't going to be a miracle vaccine that eradicates this virus in 6 months. You can't lock everything down with no plan until 'the virus is gone' and we're back in the stone ages (and the virus still won't be gone by the way). I'm pro face masks in indoor settings where you can't distance. I just wore one today. But it's also a fantasy that this will eradicate the virus. We've had mandatory face covering laws where I live for a few weeks now and the cases have not gone down they've remained stagnant. This is literally my area of expertise, and you're full of s***. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| Topic | Why was the switch out of stock, what games are people even playing on it? |
| DarkRoast 07/11/20 10:33:20 AM #20 | VerisimiIitude posted... Is this proven? Not saying it isnt... it just screams urban myth. Not at all. The Switch has sold 60 million systems in 3 years. The Xbox One sold 48 million in 7 years, and the PS4 sold 112 million in 7 years. Switch is easily wrecking the sales charts. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| Topic | My dad was a parole officer. His stories make me so sad. |
| DarkRoast 07/10/20 9:42:24 PM #36 | Just FYI - I made up this story. I just wanted to see where various CE-ers stood in such a scenario. Although my dad actually was a parole officer, but mostly he quit because he thought the department he worked for was corrupt as hell. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | My dad was a parole officer. His stories make me so sad. |
| DarkRoast 07/10/20 9:18:01 PM #1 | The worst one - A guy on parole went to rob a gas station, but when he flashed the gun at the cashier, the cashier literally had a heart attack. The guy on parole actually stops and gives the dude CPR and calls 911, and keeps going until the ambulance arrives. My dad arrives and is required to arrest him, but through some legal mumbo jumbo basically lets the guy off the hook after the cashier gets to the hospital and begs for the guy to be let go. So then my dad is reprimanded and demoted to a desk job, and the guy on parole goes to jail for life. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/10/20 9:10:48 PM #17 | Axiom posted... Tbh I would've enjoyed the first one if the story and character weren't shit. I'd imagine if those were improved in the sequel it's worth playing The main character wasn't just shit. He was literally deplorable. The torture he subjected his family to was... Well, it made me not want to progress the story even conceptually. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| DarkRoast 07/10/20 9:07:42 PM #45 | cjsdowg posted... People who act the way Republicans do now, are the way a lot of German's acted in the 1930s. It's less like Germany 1930's and more like Russia 1940's and 1950's imo. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
| Topic | Trump has commuted Roger Stone's prison sentence. |
| DarkRoast 07/10/20 9:05:39 PM #41 | deupd_u posted... Love how all you guys pretend to know a damn thing about Stone or what he allegedly did LOL He's basically responsible for the social media-fueled deluge of misinformation that has all but destroyed our ability to disseminate objectively believable information, allowing groups like QAnon to spread dangerous falsehoods that are eroding away rationality. Stone adopted Russia's strategy of creating thousands of fake social media accounts to steer the public discussion towards senseless bullshit instead of legitimate political discourse. IMO Roger Stone has done more damage to the future of the United States than any other man in history. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |

| Topic | Is it true Watch Dogs 2 is actually really good |
| DarkRoast 07/10/20 8:43:13 PM #7 | Antifar posted... It's definitely worth your time at that price. What I like most about it is the tools it gives you for fucking around in that world, in a way you can't do so much in GTA. It also can be played as a pretty neat stealth game if you so choose; nonviolent runs are pretty common to see with it. The protagonist of the first game was the fucking worst person ever. I hope the next one is better --- Well allons-y, Alonso! |
