3-way CrossFire

Yeah it's really weird how developers saw no reason to continue pouring effort into supporting multiple gpu setups as manufacturers made better and better single cards and as games moved increasingly to the single-card consoles.

Almost as if they were interested in staying in business rather than burning cash by pandering to the dozens of people who think the fact that they can barely run Crysis 3 on three loving gpus proves how great Crytek are at engines and games.

I had an SLI set up about five years ago because when I got my computer it was cheaper to strap together two x60 whatevers than get a y70. It was a huge loving hassle and I ended up playing most games with it turned off simply because things would consistently go fucky any time I tried to get them to do anything other than dedicated gpu + dedicated physx.

Being lazy here but how do they go about making that a TV show? I mean I've seen the movie West World, and from what I remember it was basically just a theme park with robotic people, there's West World where you go to saloons and gun down a robot version of the dude from Magnificent Seven, and then there's Medieval World which is endless feasting and court stuff and Roman world which is just orgies. Then the whole thing just goes haywire and the robots lose their inhibitions and start murdering people, particularly the West World gunslinger who's kind of like the Terminator of the movie. The heroes have to run away from him and try to fix things or atleast stop the robots.

How is that a series?

It's hard to explain how it is, but it uses the movie heritage very well and subverts it in a few places to good effect. It's just a really rich story about storytelling that manages to build a :lost:

level of intricacy while having an actual endgame planned out.

No. From what was told to me, evocati were testing different builds. In a day, they send out multiple builds. Some are more focused on flight dynamics while others on FPS gameplay. The evocati have their own chat, discord, ptu forums, etc. They're all in one test group, but testing different things. The results are tabulated and they'll use those to streamline the builds so that the can get it out to PTU quicker.

MedicineHut posted:

Lol at MoMA/Toast suggesting CIG is managing multiple Evocati test builds when they can't still even make a decent incremental patcher. Just loving lol. Hope the rest of his info is not based on the same poo poo source.

The very fact that they can't manage an incremental patcher is exactly why they could easily manage distributing muliple Evocati test builds - all you'd do is change what launcher build the Evocati invites point to, which itself would be built to point to an entirely different set of files. If they had a decent patch system then they'd be using the same launcher between builds which would need to know what version of what file you needed for which build, but this way you just change the launcher they're installing and bang, they're all running entirely different builds stored separately from each other on the servers.

The idea that there's any value at all to producing multiple alpha builds across multiple tiers of alpha testers under NDAs other than being able to obfuscate how much progress is being made is what's laughable.

lesbians have a 2700 year old island named after them, they gotta be doing something right

Lesbians are named after the island because it was the birthplace of the poet Sappho, the earliest recorded mentions of which are slut-shaming her for boning too many guys, progressing into decrying her having a sexual affection for women as slander, all the way up into last century where scholars were still trying to put forward ideas on how (what survives of) her poetry can be read in a totally heterosexual manner.

oh wait, I just remembered the vr prison. hahaha jesus christ it was literally a virtual prison too.

From memory the episode was less about how cool that idea was and more about how completely hosed up Obrien got from the experience of living several decades in a poo poo-house prison where he murdered his only friend that didn't even exist.

Sort of, O'brien's thing was they gave him the memories of having been in prison for 20 years. Less VR and more along the lines of Total Recall.

I remember that not being the case being a key part of the episode so I looked it up and it's specifically stated in the episode that it was a real experience - although completely fake - and not implanted memories.

Hey thread whats up how are you

I would like someone with a modicum of knowledge/experience in business things to explain to me the possible reasons you might want to have 15 separate companies.

Because I don't know about those kinds of things and I am legit curious.

Curious, but not obsessive, dont call FYAD on me.

Okay maybe a little obsessive.

Limiting of liabilities so that your assets are protected and minimising corporate taxes are the main reasons you would structure a company into multiples, but 15 is almost surely overkill unless you're explicitly just moving cups around to distract people while you slip the ball into your sleeve.
