But, it takes a lot of work by designers to get the fake lighting to look natural. Raytracing would help avoid that toil if the game is forced RT.

It's like a gambling addiction. "Just one more prompt, it'll definitely do all the work for me correctly if I just tweak this verbiage."

don't understand what they've written

Well first of all, they didn't write it.

It is not expensive, assuming you don't mind giving someone else your microplastics. In fact, you can get paid about $100 to do it in most places. How? Apharesis is exactly what is performed when donating plasma.

Someone wearing a mask tries to kidnap you, draw your handgun and put a hole in their face. I'm surprised this exact situation hasn't landed in the supreme court yet. Pretty sure it won't be favorable to the masked goons.

This shows that the way to get rid of landmines is not to have countries sign a piece of paper. It's to give them a better alternative, whether it's literally peace, or another dirt-cheap area denial defensive weapon that isn't indiscriminate. Because the paper is worthless once real stakes are on the line.

I think autonomous drones will eventually supplant landmines. Whether that's better or worse, I don't know.

Kroger diet cola. It's better than diet coke. Always fucking out of stock though around me.

If they get another despot, drone him to reroll until you get a decent build.

No, days to months away from weapons grade enriched uranium if they so chose. If you don't trust what the International Atomic Energy Agency has to say about nuclear proliferation from on-site assessments, I guess there's no convincing you of anything else.

 

I had a thought the other day in relation to how impossible it is for a large country to make everyone happy with broad policies. There are big differences in opinions, values, economics, and cultures across a population. What one city, county, province, etc prefers for policy seems to be universally be overridden by "higher level" governance levels going to the top if they so choose. Are there any countries where lower level, more specific jurisdictions get to set policy overrides instead of vice versa? Like, a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?

 

Playing complex strategy games for many years, one of the things that irks me the most is that hard AI levels often just give the dumb AI cheats to simulate it being smarter. To me, it's not very satisfying to go against cheating AI. Are any games today leveraging neural networks to supplant or augment hand-written decision tree based AI? Are any under development? I know AI can be resource intensive, but it seems that at least turn based games could employ it.
