Nah, disagree. There are adaptations from books to tv that are really good. It seems to be those that stick close to the source and remove bits where it makes sense, rather than trying to add whole new plot lines "just because". For me, The expanse is a good example. And the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. Bad adaptations like The Wheel of Time are common. It seems like writers feel they have to add their own twist to the material, instead of adapting a story that is known to be popular. WoT TV made so many weird decisions re: the characters that were unnecessary, and added in a heap of scenes/subplots that added nothing in a show that was always going to be short on time per episode. It was improving, but they were stuck with a lot of the past decisions they made.

Sorry - last post incomplete :/ The reviewers do tend to use high settings, but most use 1080p & 1440p. They also can't know what everyones setups are like, so try to isolate performance to the gpu only. Then they put it in a chart with other cards. They're not trying to optimize a game for getting to 70fps. They're showing the cards relative strength.

Thats because frame gen is only any good if the raster performance is already good. If the card is running at 20fps, throwing in a bunch of extra frames makes it appear to be running more smoothly, but the actual experience is terrible. And if raster frames are high enough for a good experience, then you don't need frame gen. It's just not that useful in most scenarios.

Feels a lot like Dystopian future is merging into Dystopian present these days

Really? Most things I've read say "great OS, could do with more apps"
And that certainly holds true from my experiences with Windows Phone 7/7.5 (haven't played with 8 yet)

For single target kills they could just use a small blowdart powered by a compressed gas canister.

Because other hosts are so trustworthy?

Which will also lower emissions.

So we have 2 sides
A self entitled asshole (Kim) who is being prosecuted by the US at the behest of other self entitled assholes (Studios).
Now, one group of self entitled assholes shits on the general public and are abusing power and position to get what they want, despite what the law says.
And the other self entitled asshole is trying to shit on other self-entitled assholes and operating within the law (as far as has been proven, to my knowledge).

It's a bit depressing that he looks like a champion fighting injustice, but there you go..

Uh, since forever? I guess your relatives are more understanding (or you don't like your family)

Propose something terrible that'll never go through. If it succeeds LOL. If it fails, then propose something not quite as bad to try to get people to say "well, it's not as bad as what they proposed earlier.." Rinse and repeat until you get what you want - eventually you'll sneak one past the people fighting against it.

If you're sitting there at a desk with a keyboard, mouse, external HDD and monitor plugged into your tablet why the hell aren't you just using a PC, where you can leverage the power of a full desktop OS and much MUCH faster hardware? You're already tethered to the desk in an attempt to make your tablet usable for general computing.

The ONLY advantage is that it's portable. But why wouldn't you just own both?
My prediction: The PC isn't dying any time soon.

Always online = always a laggy game, for me. My pings have always been 400ms+ to Blizz servers. Fuck that, it sucks
