I find it insulting you'd suggest I'd consider any part what that ass has said as even remotely reasonable.
What I said is that if you say 2+2=5 to enough people, you'll get some who will just go "ok yeah sounds right". They're still wrong. Two people being deluded together doesn't make it any less delusional.
The thing about giving everyone a megaphone, is that even when some use them to shout insane bullshit, if enough people hear it, there is inevitably a percentage who will think "yea that makes sense".
And now, we've got selective megaphones. Social media algoritms that curate our feeds for us so that people shouting insane bullshit have their content fed directly to people who believe insane bullshit. Separating the people who lie and their believers, from the people who call them out on it and bring actual logic into the discussion.
Algoritms discourage thinking because thinking takes effort, and effort tires you out. Tiring you out would eventualmy make you log off and take a break, but algos are trained to maximize screentime, so no thinking it is.

The integrated GPU in your processor is not an additional bit of computing power your computer is not using, but special software that can use your processor to put out graphics if a dedicated GPU is missing. It is extremely inferior at processing graphics compared to the real dedicated GPU, and if you were running firefox to watch (Not decode) youtube, you would very likely see things like screen tearing as the processor struggled to keep up.
This is straight up wrong. You are confusing GPUs with display adapters.
iGPUs are an actual on-die GPU, consiting of their own hardware, present on the die in addition to the CPU.
They can game. They can hardware decode and encode media, etc. They are full GPUs. Some are even quite powerful, though usually you'll find them to be designed for everyday use and only light gaming.
The GPU in every recent game console is technically an iGPU, same goes for phones, and the Steamdeck.
They do not "translate" GPU instructions into running on the CPU cores.
That's software rendering, and is what CPUs do when there isn't an iGPU at all. (Though they'll still need a display adapter, which a GPU can act as. But a display adapter doesn't need to be a full on GPU. And iGPUs aren't just display adapters.)
Changing voltages and fan curves is super situational. And depends on how much you value noise over performance.
That said, I undervolted and underclocked the i7 cpu on my G501 gaming laptop back in the day.
This helped a ton, because the heatsink between the discrete GTX 660M and the CPU, shared a heatpipe. The CPU would only throttle at 90, while the GPU would throttle at something like 75. This meant that because it was basically always hotter, heat from the CPU would conduct via the heatpipe INTO THE GPU, causing it to always thermal throttle, and be unable to be cooled. Because even though it was maxing out and trying to cool down by throttling, the CPU would just keep going because for it the temps were fine. So it would keep pumping heat into the heatsinks and heatpipes, which would then keep the GPU hot, too.
Undervolting the CPU allowed it and the GPU to run at closer to same temps, raising FPS by way of allowing the GPU to actually run a full tilt, even though the CPU was then significantly slower.
"free speech absolutist"
I'm halfway through Rebirth, and shit has me so confused I stopped trusting any of my theories for what is going on.
It's continued to be good though. Excellent even.
To be fair, Intergrade and Rebirth remix some things that mean they don't really replace the original game.
They're doing something different with the story that we still haven't had fully explained, which means I'm playing completely riveted to the story, with no idea what'll happen, even though the original game has existed longer than I have.
And the gameplay is obviously completely different.
It means they're more than "remakes", imo. They're more like adaptations, making changes that alter the source material to fit a new medium. Almost like going from book to TV.
And in the same way, both the "book" and the "TV Series" both remain worthy of being experienced. Different people might prefer one or the other, while others will insist the "full experience" is to engage with both. Either way, both add to the whole by existing.
And just about as potent as his constant jabber about "I'll fire the nukes aaany second now".
Hey now! You gotta at least set your timezone and keyboard layout, too.
The combat is fanatastic. But they don't lean into it enough, and so you don't get to fully engage with it beyond a superficial level. Except for some fleeting moments most people wont even notice.
I love it, but I hate how they're too afraid to commit, even to the point of not allowing you to play Rebirth on hard until ng+.
Looks at persona
Are you sure?
That said I really like the combat system in modern FF games. It's a mix of hack n slash + strategy you don't really get anywhere else.
They've made something unique, and I approve. My only complaint is that they don't lean into it, and all but the highest difficulty lets the player get away with button mashing.
I don't know how much you know about the intricacies of the newer FF combat systems, but "turns" are still in there, but among a bunch of new stuff that may or may not jell with you.
If you want, in the remakes you can set the combat to "classic" which makes it so that the AI controls all three charachters, rather than just the two you aren't playing as.
This leaves you to deal with only the "turns", and which abilities, spells, or items, to use them for. And you don't need to be quick, the passage of time nearly pauses while you engage with the action menu to decide what to do with a turn.
Characters and enemies can only engage in basic attacks outside of their "turn". To use abilities, spells or items, it must be your "turn".
All the decisions that make turn based combat interesting are overlayed on top of the real-time action. At times they even overlap. When not using classic mode, it matters how you control a characters real time actions. The exact timing of when you use a turn can have consequences, you need to make sure you are standing in a good spot for a given ability, you need to make sure you're not about to take an attack that might interrupt an action, etc.
You have to decide stuff like whether you need to use your turns to spam cure just to keep the party alive. Should Aerith spend one turn and the MP to use Cura on one party member, or wait two turns to use Pray on everyone. Should Cloud go for damage on this turn, or build stagger in case it leads to a stun and bonus damage next turn? Can Tifa keep herself alive with Chakra or do I need to have another charachter heal her? Do I remember the pressure conditions for this enemy or do I need to spend a turn on Assess to find out?
If all you want is turn based classic gameplay, then yeah, it isn't here. But they have made something very interesting. It's got hack slash style flashy action, but with an amount of strategy involved I don't think any other games have achieved. It's unique.
What? What the hell do you even mean by "baseline"?
Again, what are you saying? You replied adversarially to someone who was making the point that society should be improved so as to not allow things like people starving to death, or becoming homeless. Are you agreeing with them or trying to shut them down?
Are you saying society barely doing anything to help people in such situations is fine, because you survived it? Because that is what it seems like, and my reply is in response to such an utterly insane take.
Society should prevent death and suffering as much as the available resources allow. Who the fuck cares where you draw the line for "good enough"?
If we can do better, then we should.
...
Did you literally just use "there are fates worse than death" as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to "losing" (death), as a way to argue that a society that allows this should be improved?
What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of "loss"?
What the fuck is point of "one-upmanship" around the baseline of suffering? And how is "people not dying" not a pretty good place to start when it comes to what society should try to achieve?
The synergy skill that allows you to have another party member throw you into the air at an enemy, when controlling a melee fighter, (Tifa, Cloud, Red) is so satisfying and welcome in Rebirth when fighting flying enemies.
That would probably be ReVanced, modded version of the official client. Fully supports both, just enable em from the settings.
