Response to Trump's Video Game Montage - #GameOn
For the guy's that did the attack on the twin towers those were 'true' murder simulators.
I wish they'd included some flightsims in this montage.
Response to Trump's Video Game Montage - #GameOn
I'm glad they went this route.
There's a certain attitude that says that only cute, indie games about children with big heads lost in a scary world can be art (shamelessly stole that from Zero Punctuation), but big-budget action games are disposable nonsense.
And there certainly ARE plenty of good, clever, indie games and insanely dumb, tone-deaf, "press f to pay respects" AAA games.
But you can have violence be a part of your story and still be a good story. Hell, your story can be about violence and what it does to you. Spec Ops: The Line is a great example of this.
It's disingenuous to say that video games are nothing but sadistic murder simulators, but it would be equally disingenuous to pretend they're all sweetness and light.
The first God of War is as brutal and sadistic as they come and it's a great game. "Hatred" sets out to be the most brutal and sadistic game ever but it's terrible.
Ok, it just seemed odd in a video responding to Trump's m rated game video. It made sense to me to counter that with a g rated game video with no violence at all. Granted, this is more honest in it's depiction of games in general, but doesn't juxtapose as strongly.
3D engine entirely made of MS Excel formulae
Ok, next I want to see Minecraft recreated on Excel on a computer which is itself a virtual machine simulated in Minecraft. I heard u like to go deeper etc.
ps. remember that flight sim easter-egg that older version of Excel had?
Traffic flow measured on 30 different 4-way junctions
Cities Skylines? Not the most accurate simulation but interesting nonetheless.

Here's What It's Like To Drive A Formula 1 Car!
This is all very cool and informative, but knowing what it's really like to drive an F1 car is not something you can experience through any form of media, no matter how in-depth it might be. You can talk about it, make videos, even simulate it in VR, but unless you actually DO it, you'll never really know.
100+ Consecutive Speed Bumps High Speed Testing
The white Toyota 4runner or whatever it was almost made it! The simulation of the suspension impacts and structural deformations seems quite realistic.
Fake but utterly terrifying
Why does the image on the screen change perfectly with whatever camera is viewed?
Methinks the floor images are simulated...

Vox explains bump stocks
The thing about bump stocks that people are not realizing is that they are simply a mod that allows you to do the same thing you could already do with many semi-automatic weapons, emulate automatic fire.
There is a slightly more dangerous method which can be done simply by not bracing the stock and using the pistol grip. Many semi-auto weapons also can easily be 'broken' to cause slamfires, where the rounds are auto-fired as soon as they are loaded due to a stuck firing pin.
I highly believe in gun rights and the second amendment. But this latest tragedy has finally done it. There is simply no need to have that many semi-automatic rifles in one's possession. We need to re-enact the AWB from 1994, we need to set a cap limit on how many semi-automatic rifles a person can own, and we need to clearly state that ANY modification that can simulate automatic fire is illegal.
We have fostered a state where the mentally ill are no longer being treated or taken care of, except by drugs. Since it is clear that we have multitudes of people separated from becoming the next mass murderer simply based on whether to not they took their meds (or were diagnosed correctly to begin with), we need to make a stricter environment that prevents these people from getting the weapons to make it easier.
Colbert To Trump: 'Doing Nothing Is Cowardice'
Yes, definitely.
Ok, I didn't actually look at exactly what they're selling. In the past, I've seen trigger mods that acted like a bump stock, 'bouncing' your finger on the springy hair trigger but without the springy stock. I don't know what they were called. I've also seen a 'gatling' thing that lets you turn a crank to rapidly bump the trigger, also don't remember the name. I'm sure there are others. Simple solution, ban anything that simulates auto fire in any way.
Hmmmm. Under certain circumstances, your conviction can be vacated and your record can be completely expunged. A judge told my dad that you can legally answer no to those questions after that, and vote, own guns, travel, etc. I hope that wasn't a setup! ;-)
Side note, but you wouldn't normally keep thousands of rounds all loaded in extended mags....and this guy didn't pinch any pennies either.
Either way, he brought plenty more than needed.
I googled 'rapid fire triggers'.
Geissele, Timney, Hypertouch, these are all normal triggers.
They are premium offerings. Smooth, low grit, low creep, clean crisp break.
They don't actually have any function that artificially increases rate of fire.
The marketing can fool you if you don't know what they are.
(It's like buying a "no name mouse" vs a "gamer mouse". One feels better, but you still click just as fast.)
Tac Con 3MR does have its own gimmick. It does a partial reset on every fire. Your finger still has to move forward and back to fire again, so you're still limited by your reaction time. In reviews it's no different than a normal trigger rate of fire wise.
4473 just asks if you've ever been convicted of a felony that could (not did) have had a 1 year sentence. That's a pretty broad set.
AFAIK, they all screw your right to vote. I could be wrong.

Unreal Engine's Human CGI is So Real it's Unreal
What this company (snapperstech.com) did is put together an upgraded control "rig" to manipulate facial expressions, taking into account muscle limits and interactions, skin elasticity, etc.
A little more info in the video's YT desc :
-Adaptive rig: which allows combining any number of expressions using optimized list of blendshapes.
-Real facial muscles constraints: the advanced rig logic simulates real facial muscles constraints.
-Advanced skin shader (for Maya and Unreal): holds up to 16 wrinkles maps and 16 dynamic diffuse maps with micro details and pores stretching.
-Easy to manipulate using facial controllers and/or GUI.
-Compatible with all game engines and animation packages.
-Smooth transition between all the expressions.
-Adjustment layer: freeform manipulation of multiple regions of the face to create unlimited variations of the same expression.
The real-time rendering part is achieved by the Unreal engine itself. The final rendering performance still relies mainly on the hardware used.
Yeah, the real-time aspect of it is insanely good, although I'd still like to know how much of the rendering budget it takes up, i.e. is this usable in a game or just a research project at the moment?
What do you mean by "only one modifier is being applied"? Which is my other criticism of the video; a voiceover explaining the tech would have been more interesting than the music.
I don't believe that "multiple modifiers" would make this look better, for the simple reason that if you're demoing a technology like this, you end with ALL the bells and whistles to make it look as good as possible.

Random Arma3 Bullshittery
I bought the game on steam. LOVE it. It's not like Far Cry 4 perfection, but it is a perfect computer "simulator". Fun and challenging. Setting up the controls is still an ongoing pain in the ass.
Virtual Reality Slide
Question...how would one make a realistic physical simulation of a place that doesn't physically exist?
So, when do we get a VR of VS?
Adam Ruins Everything - Real Reason Hospitals Are So Costly
Careful, if @bobknight33 sees you saying that he'll respond with some pretty harsh criticism. I'll pull quotes from his profile to simulate what he would say.
"Cuba citizens live as long and pay less? That Communism is better? That Cubans live shit life's but have live as long? Sign me up for that stuff... Then I 'll build a boat out of trash bans and float 90miles to tot the USA for a worse life. Sign me up for that stuff.
Every group that a has money at stake are trying to influence the people / governments one way or another in their favor.
All those hard line [prices] are only starting negotiating positions.
Trump is punking the shit out of liberals. Too funny. No real evidence or facts. just "sources" for liberal media false hype to continue its 24/7 anti Trump narrative."
A good start would to make facilities post their cost for services.
Another would be to only allow x% profit on a good or service.
