baffled by people acting surprised that the administration did not foresee russia being able to sell more oil due to this war, as opposed to donald trump being easily manipulated into doing it or even simply told to because, in case anyone was asleep for 10 years, trump is on russia's side, not ours

Hot take, aber das steht nicht im geringsten Widerspruch zu dem was heutzutage als "liberal" gilt.

Jede noch so tumbe, abstoßend menschenfeindliche Meinung ist legitim und muss auf dem "freien Marktplatz der Ideen" debattiert werden.

Wer nicht bereit ist fundamentale

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

The game is only like 10 hours long btw. It's okay to have AAA games be that length.

Disgusting of Merz not to side by Sánchez in the White House. Talk of making Europe look weak and discredited.

In German there is a distinction between American and US-American which is always good to see, read, and use. Like Tuba says, it is respecting the fact that America, the Americas are just a more diverse place of cultures and countries than common parlance typically allows.

Today on Digital Foundry, our first look at Crimson Desert. The BlackSpace Engine looks exceptionally impressive: rich in features, heavy on RT and running at native 4K 60fps on an RX 7900 XTX on ultra settings: youtu.be/Z0pxsi7FU9g

The reason for that is die to CPU time stamping being delayed a frame (Game thread Runs at half Speed). But Render thread is fullspeed. As the video Shows, it is Not placebo for the camera and animation Smoothness. It does Not fix frame-time stutters though, as the video mentions.

If he does this, or indeed whatever tack he undoubtably takes to rig the elections in his favour, Vance and his cronies will be watching and taking notes.

The Two Weeks When Luigi Died
Last timestamp of a file (gfxmain.c) that has Luigi's code active as part of the program: February 6, 1996
Earliest timestamp of a file (shade.c) that has Luigi's code commented out, signifying he is no longer being developed: February 20, 1996
This means that the idea of including Luigi in Super Mario 64 was abandoned in these two weeks.
-By the way, what happened to Luigi?
Miyamoto: Well... until February, he was in the game. (laughs)
This is also completely consistent with a statement by Shigeru Miyamoto in a June 1996 interview.
Source: x.com user @Alieneer_TF2, shmuplations.com/mario64

According to internal files and interviews, Luigi has been part of Super Mario 64 for 85% of its development time. New insights from development data allow us to narrow down when exactly he was abandoned, being the two weeks between February 6, 1996 and February 20, 1996.
