Certainly a line with current behind it.

Worst thing with databases. Used to quote to my interns, “No spooky action at a distance” logic has to be in front of you and in git. Anything else is a recipe for bugs and undetectable errors.

Yeah, if I heard a junior dev say that in earshot I’ll be pulling them into a room for the list-of-reasons-that’s-dumb. Even the AI code assistants would directly say it’s not advisable.

The fire also looks fairly contained as well. This was a well designed building, well built too. Or at least the building is good where fighter jet intrusion is concerned.

Can confirm, switched away from laptop notes to incomprehensible-to-others fountain pen writing. Writing is the important part anyway.

My brother in web, you’re not supposed to mix the alcohol and zero alcohol mouthwash together that just makes regular mouth wash!

Or it’ll make super anti-acid, which should on no account be mixed with acid or the flux is probably going to send you back to the future.

It’s particularly fond of irony I find.

Hmm. I’ve decided I don’t like you.

It feels like you’re setting an artificially high goal purely to make challenging your assirtion impossible. I’m not even sure a 3090 can do path tracing. 40/5090, maybe they can.

Could an AMD card do it? Yes. RX 7900 possibly, a theoretical RX 9090 could if they bothered to release one.

But none of that matters really. Never has.

It’d probably take some sort of Linux Foundation style arrangement with manufacturers supporting a neutral team built from Google’s Android division.

A RX 6800? Yes, in fact I was playing CP2077 with FSR and ray tracing on at 4K on a 6800. It was the first real card AMD had that could. Though it did struggle at times.

Sadly replaced after 4 years with a RX9060 of similar capability but better Ray tracing.

AMD cards are only about 2-3 years behind NVIDIA in a lot of specialised tasks, but trying to pace the behemoth that is NVIDIA’s RnD with a much smaller budget. ROCm works but is held up by compatibility issues with the newer CUDA features.

Who needs augmentation? Let’s just get the organ printer out and update to Mk2 Eyeball.

Or that it got stuck in the figurative basement organ where a silly amount of bio-chemistry is stuck because evolution kinda shrugged a few million years ago.

Elden Ring has a lot of focus on bouncing around the map and sort of finding stuff.

There’s hints if you’re looking for a specific challenge, but overall you just sort of wander until you say “ooh cool” followed by “ow that was really tough” and eventually getting through it laughing and saying “you all said a tarnished couldn’t possibly do this, now who’s laughing!”.

But hey, if you’re not feeling it, don’t feel bad about it. You kinda need to be in the right mood for it, and I’ve not been able to find the energy for a replay because the ‘oooh shiny’ from exploration is gone.

Dark Souls has a similar exploration piece, but much more defined pathways, and I find it more replayable. ER is just so much.

I think this one wins the serious answer contest. Nice find, TriflingToad.
