Pull a Titanfall to Apex(bad example but you know what I mean) now you don't really have a CoD franchise. It's like Battlefield is no longer the Battlefield we remember, just the names. They can just spin up another franchise "from the legendary CoD developers, blah blah...", BUT it's not CoD.
A regular adult human have 600 trillion synapses( connections between neurons ), so to just record index of these edges needs like 4.3 PB(yep petabytes), it's not even counting what they do, just the index(cause 32bit int is not enough.) And, just in case you don't know, toddler have even higher connection count for faster learning until our brain decides that "oh, these connection are not really needed" then disconnect and then save energy consumption. It is really not in our reach yet to simulate a self-aware artificial creature, cause most animals we know that are self-aware have high counts of synapses.
And yes we are attempting those for various reason.
I am just going to leave this here, and if you don't trust BoC, maybe check other literature that explains how central bank, over night rate, etc works to control the market. Cause you seems to have a misunderstanding on how this work if my apple business example above don't work for you.
I was also there but it's not a really good system when scale up. If you are from the same era, and if you did not own a clan server, they can kick you out for whatever reason. (Like killing a mod one too many times.) And for competitive games that really doesn't work well, that's why old server has that after round auto balancing mod, it shuffles player around base on how they performed. A fake way to try balance the team. Ie. I was kinda decent capper for 3wave ctf, grenade rocket jump and all that. So if opponent doesn't have a good sniper or also decent enough capper, I can usually win the game even when our team is a bit short on players. Then when auto balancing come around to balance players, it actually make it less balance.(you also can't dial it too much that you got spawn camped and thus one side of player just quit to find another server.)
And it also not helping if you go to a clan server and the clan all want to stay on the same team. Which often leads to players go in/out frequently.(that's why later on GameSpy can even show match status so you can choose to join or not.)
A well managed server pool and MMR system helps resolve all those issues, and scale up really well.
there might be hidden ram drives that helps offset some I/O to the slower SSD/sata drives. (Edit: like my Radeon replay buffer I config it to save to Ram instead of to disk, I have 128GB so I can afford keeping those buffers in ram.)
That era or design is long gone. like even PS2/GameCube have firmware to let you change settings/manage memory cards without game disk. With the variety of hardware you can connect means you need to separate the software layer that talking to hardware's from the game, thus the operating system. You can turn on GBA for example without a cartridge, but it would kinda just stuck. That's like the last boot to game device I am aware of.
Inflation is high specifically because of high interest rates pushing people to spend more on mortgages.
I am replying to you specifically in response to this sentence. I just use a apple selling business as example. No one has to buy mortgage to buy house, raising interest rate actually will fail the stress test for some people about to buy.(Thus they can't even start borrowing process.) Thus pull potential money out of that market. Then somewhere down the road, the price will fall back to historical trend. So what if people already bought and can't affordable to renew? They would try to sell, pay the penalty if any, compare to go default. Which also pull money out of housing market, eventually.
I have a color laser but usually not printing color unless printing pictures.(usually because there are materials my son needs to use with BI, those print with color will be more helpful.)
I agree though we should be able to move to a more digital style. But paper are also still pretty good material to draw/write/play around with.
(sometimes I print out the plans for paper craft or paper plane, and it's fun to do with kids.)
If the color printing is only for school works, then doing it in a printing shop cost less in the long run. (toner is expensive for laser printer as well. )
If it's competitive game you are in there to play for the "win" and fun comes from trying to win for it. ie. if you play a fighting game in none ranked queue to try a new character, you learn nothing while not trying to "win" thus even not-MMR-ranked queue will usually have a hidden one stick to it so you don't play against players that are too good/bad against you. (yeah, I know the practice landing hit-confim or combo/setups against real human player is a thing and not thinking about winning. BUT the end goal is "winning" with your new tool. )
ranked games are the trying to play at higher level mode where you try to push your skill up and thus can play against higher tier players. And to my opinion, it is also fun and why people grind.
yo, that's not how the policy work. The increase is to stop extra money pumping into market because if you try to borrow and do stuff, then the cost is higher, ANY borrowing. (so business, house, car, etc. )
ie. if you are selling apple using borrowed money because the revenue-cost is positive enough to do it, interest rate increase will help stop you buying more apple(for resale) down the road. "but I can just offset the cost to consumer that buys my apple, right?" Yes you could but for merchant that does not need to borrow money to do it they have an edge over you. So while short term you will see people jack up price of apple to cover their bottom line, eventually, there is a point they can't get price up anymore to cover cause people will switch to buy orange instead. So people will do less risky business that involves borrowing money. And consumer just pick whatever they can afford. So if there is a trend that apple is too expensive, it will stick and lag behind, it affects all the way to produce as well and some apple selling business will close, and farm would cut production if people are not buying, then if this goes on longer, they will have to lower the price to recoup the money compare to losing everything. And people that originally think borrowing money to invest in apple will think hard(if they have good advisor), thus not much money in this "apple" market. Interest rate increase affects almost all industry, but the price coming down, to historical trend of inflation, will lag behind and are not immediately visible.
That's also why too few competition in grocery is bad cause you have to eat, for business that people have no choice but had to buy/use to survive, they should be regulated. ( Just imagine if your provincial water supply is a public traded company. )
I think the comments I saw on ltt's review video(here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2NfvzoDpcSM ) is that you don't. Since people point out the king kong 2(and pro) have input latency and their face buttons aren't at the same build quality as first party one.
Input latency(or variance of it) alone would not sit well with me.
Yeah, I do believe some of the Denuvo implementation might be good or improved overtime, BUT, I don't trust publisher or developer to remove it before they moved on to next project. (see some of the capcom games that was on GFWL example). So I just wait until they removed it or buy on different platform(PSN/Nintendo) that I trust won't vanishes or stop support down the road. It is very tricky for consumer the more "3rd parties" is involved in your purchase.
I didn't watch, someone please give a TLDW. Cause I highly suspect this is gonna just be wasting time.
