I might give that a try. Getting a 20fps drop so I can zoom in on Geralt's hair is comical. And it doesn't even look good. It looks like someone has a fan blowing on him at all times.

Evolutionary time scale yes, but on a human timescale that's still several generations of time which I think is more important when you're talking tech singularities. At this point I think we're debating semantics. I think for the term technological singularity to be applied to our...

super happy with my 970 in witcher3.

Show me where there's info in the non-spoiler thread that wasn't in the show and I'll take care of it.

If someone hasn't seen True Detective yet, fuck 'em.

When it's in the show.

Gavin's words ring true. I'll let you off on a warning because you put it in a spoiler!

I'm only hoping they wrap up Jon, Trant and Cersei's storyline. I've lost hope for the siege of Winterfell or anything else.

I was going to quote the same paragraph as a reason why I disagree with your assertion that a technological singularity is an almost certainty that we are rapidly approaching. The key part of the technological singularity is that it's a moment in time where 'everything is different now'. I...

Yeah I never pay attention to actor interviews for stuff.

I agree. I think this whole setup will be shown in the next season. I'm predicting next season's KL scenes are all about the Martells vs the Tyrells with Cleganebowl on the side. I don't think we'll get much of anything out of the Martells in the next episode besides maybe a small scene...

I disagree with that. I think once Cersei does the walk of shame they'll need something to fill the KL plot. Killing Tommen in the start/middle of the season then having a power struggle that somehow resolves with Myrcella on the throne (with or without a dead Margery/Trystane) puts things...

The problem people like me have with the discussion of technological singularity is that we often see it declared inevitable by people who have no technological background, view it as an instantaneous change and relate every AI improvement to a fantasy version of the singularity. When you...

I couldn't get through DS2 because I was so disappointed in the game environments. What made DS1 so enjoyable was getting through tough content and being rewarded with an amazing new world to explore. In DS2 I got to the spider queen and can't remember a single environment I thought was that...

I think they will go to KL with intent on killing Tommen. I don't know how Ellaria and the Three Stooges will do anything but waste screentime but we'll see.

So the Dorne plot has been a bit awash in how annoying the sand snakes and Ellaria are, but I was thinking about that plot line and have a few theories/ideas that may seem obvious to everyone: 1. Doran told Ellaria that he gives people second chances, but not third chances. His little sister...

A downside to following that practice is often you'll see shit like, string outOfMemory_errorMessage = "Error: Out of Memory"; And it's used once in the code. In C++ what I find especially annoying is when it's a class member. So you declare the variable outOfMemory_errorMessage in the...

You mean George Miller? I'd rather just see more mad max films tbh.

Dark Souls1/2 isn't clunky in any way unless you load yourself down in weight or something.

Or a bird. Like a three eyed raven.

And I bet like most of the older actors there Sean Bean could give a shit about the overarching storyline. Note, I don't know if Sean Bean is a fan, I'm just surmising that he is based on what I hear of other actors in his generation.

Is that really that hard to do? I didn't hear of Sean Bean being an ornery person.

Jon, Bran and Daenarys are the most plausible. Victarion/Euron are an option with their little horn, but unlikely because they aren't in the show. Tyrion is an option but probably won't happen just because he's not the warrior type, though he is more so in the books. There's really no...

please keep us updated on this!

I feel like the part exposing how all of Bobby B's bastards have dark hair but Cersei's kids are blonde make the point that dark hair is dominant in GoT like it is in RL. I don't think Lyanna's hair is described though.

fine fine. Do you know if they mentioned anything about the tower of joy in the show? Showdown at the Red Mountains - Game of Thrones Wiki doesn't really indicate it. It's such a cool piece of GoT history it'd be a shame if it isn't done in the show. It wouldn't even be a big budget thing...

Yep. The show doesn't make it obvious that the Targaryens ruled Westeros for hundreds of years. Robert's Rebellion was a massive paradigm shift, and a Targaryen could very credibly claim ownership of the Iron Throne. Shit, they founded King's Landing. Eddard knew this and knew the only way he...

Re: Posting in the non-spoiler thread, if you're going to do it you better be on point about A: Not posting stuff that wasn't explained in the show and B: Not speculating on things based on what you know from the books or spoilers. You'll notice whenever I speculate on stuff there's it's on...

Aye. I'm pretty sure they explained this in the show, but Brandon Stark (Ned's brotha) and Rickard Stark (Ned's father) were killed by Aerys II Targaryen when they protested the kidnapping of Lyanna Stark.

Here's the timeline: Rhaegar Targaryen, Eldest son of the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen and heir to the throne and all around badass knight dude. Tywin Lannister wanted his daughter, Cersei Lannister to marry Rhaegar. Rhaegar insulted the Lannisters by declining and said they were beneath...

Generally magic strings/numbers are bad, but sometimes programmers will learn that generality and contort it into, "Generall strings/numbers are bad" or "don't ever have numbers or strings in your code.". Bad programmers get OCD for stupid shit and then you end up with Keyboard.DOT for an IP...

Yep, and it's dumb because Keyboard.DOT is more prone to error than '.'.

I'm done with this thread until after next week. God speed.

Nothing wrong with that but yeah, I'm not charm kiting in a singleplayer game based around sword play.

Why would you laugh at the genocide of the UK?

I dont think he will get rezzed either.

Yep. They have a short sword but they never use it. Or their dagger.

Save the shitposting for next week.

Things Stannis needs: 1. The writers to use one of a large number of plausible scenarios that result in his victory, not limited to: A. Sansa rallying the North and stage a coup d'etat B. Theon seeing the approaching army and reeking the shit out of the Boltons. C. Jon or every true...
