Riding before the rain

Uploading this video to throw at Fire Hose Games. It's a copy of the live stream made to Twitter. At the end of the video the GPU performance tanked to slideshow performance.

Let's followup on the questions broached by Vivek on Tucker Carlson's show. Who benefited from selling out the Israeli government? Who had motivation to sell out the Israeli government? Who has a history of using external forces to eliminate political dissidents of the Israeli government? Who is attached to anti-Israeli nation states and political parties? How is a government corrupted? Why does "Democracy" alone fail, and how is that used to spread further corruption. Let's get into it.

Copy of a Twitter live stream. Techtonica fails to load in and hard crashes.

The last video that I uploaded to rumble was uploaded in a base 1920x1080 canvas. As of this posting that video is available, in 854x480. So I decided to create a new video and upload to both Rumble AND Twitter and see which host had the better video quality from an upload.

I'm tired, loosing my voice, but before I drop, here's my WIP Techtonica Factory

Taking a look at some of the rendering issues with Chill'n'Build "Techtonica." As a note, this is a Unigine based game. As of this upload I have not asked the developers if they intend to move to a different engine in light of the actions taken by Unity Executives. Ergo if a move to a different engine is immanent then specific rendering issues may be dealt with simply by that change. So, don't read too much into the errors that the game has.

Precision Matters. Let's talk about WHY precision matters.

What's in the box? Well, I don't think it's Nvidia, so let's go over WHY it's probably not Nvidia hardware inside the Switch 2... and consider just who may have landed the hardware contract for Nintendo's next entry.

The short version is that my previous laptop took a lightning strike and I bit the bullet to replace it. The laptop that I bought, a Corsair a1600 AMD Advantage Edition, has inaccurate, misleading, and outright missing information on it's product page. What you buy isn't what Corsair says they are selling you. The inaccuracies on the product page combine with multiple software faults and failures, including contracting out branded package development, that render this laptop more of a prototype that's still 6 to 8 months out from retail release as the software developers finish up their tasks. Now, to be fair here, on 8/21/23 Corsair Support has responded to the email I sent them on 8/17/23. However, as this video was already in production (scripting/recording) I decided to not open that email and give Corsair a chance to respond to this video FIRST as the video version dives down the various rabbit holes as to why the unfinished/broken software packages and missing firmware/drivers are massive issues.

Chatgpt and Stable Diffusion are not AI. Nvidia is not selling hardware to enable AI. There literally is no AI Revolution. So, what ARE Chatgpt, Stable Diffusion, and other inference/diffusive Generators? Why are they not an AI? What would an actual AI entail? Do you need to have studied LISP or have an understanding of John McCarthy's work in the field? How important are data set validations to a Calculatory Matrix anyways? What happens when you introduce Paradoxical Data Sets to a Calculatory Matrix? Let's dive off the deep in here and examine why Political Bias and Theologicsl Bias impact, if not impair, the construction of an actual AI.

Created for a Theory recording.

Let me be as clear as possible as I can at the start. This video was the result of a question over Raid Mechanics, specifically the Hamidon Raid mechanics. The question was posed by a player affiliated with the City of Heroes Homecoming server who justified changes implemented in the game's "Master Of" task-force modes by uttering abject nonsense that directly ignored the context of decisions implemented by both Cryptic Studios and Paragon Studios. That event certainly colors this response and I would be lying if I was to indicate that I did feel not pressured to over explain the historical precedents and history of the internal game development. Likewise, in response, I feel it is critical to cover the MetaData of the game development, that is the events that occurred explicitly outside of Cryptic/Paragon that affected game design choices over the years. This video references a Stream on Youtube on how to Build Enhancements and the economic considerations/implications of Server Population versus Product Procurement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C2gDKdYWew This video also references Of Mice, Inertias, Valves, and Paradigm Shifts which deals with the contextual events of server populations and targeted audiences: https://rumble.com/v2gaf0a-of-mice-inertias-valves-and-paradigm-shifts.html Also referenced are current examples of games that are bleeding players due to choices made by the developers internally, rather than to newer games offering nigh on identical play experiences. As there was a quasi imposed time limit, no, this video does not touch on EA's decisions over "Anthem." Ostensibly the video is supposed to be about City Of Heroes Existing "Hamidon Raid," what makes it work, what doesn't work, and what could be changed. The conjectural theory is that Homecoming Developers are looking at implementing more Mass-Group Style content. As the Hamidon Raid is one of the few zone-level events offered by the game, it certainly is worth talking about WHY Cryptic designed a Zone-level event, why they didn't really implement another Zone-Level event with a specific player count requirement, and why those design choices matter.

A long while ago someone on Quora asked if Televised Debates still had a purpose. In the wake of the RNC deliberately screwing Donald Trump over with it's announced Debate Structure, and the DNC screwing BOTH RFKJ and Gavin Newsome over with NO debate schedule, someone upvoted my response on Quora. Well, given that Quora may or may not participate in censorship or filtering of responses I decided to record a verbal version of that response and upload it to Rumble... and then tag the Presidential Candidates running for Office. Which might not be the best idea I've ever had cause I can just see at least one of them going "YOU can Organize our Debates"

This video was driven by a Discord discussion in which someone commented that anyone who covers games, movies, or slop culture must, at some point, post a Video on the Plot Holes in Star Wars. So, forgetting that KOTOR really shows it needs to be compiled for more modern platforms, I fired KOTOR up to address 3 Possible Plot Holes and why they might not necessarily have been Plot Holes and how they could plausible be fixed. #1: Anakin's abysmal courting on Padme. #2: Lightsabre's potentially having a flat-of-the-blade 3: The indicated timeline as of New Hope and Star's End vs. the Scrunched Timeline of the prequels.

This capture was the result of a number of gestalt events. Vivek vs. CNN, a prolific RINO Grifter digging for clicks by tweeting the exact opposite of events, Ron DeSantis' unforced error, and a need to tie the events to historical precedents combine for a lengthy monolog.

The update Boogaloo. Proton updated that is.

Bad idea brought to life.

Relatively quick video covering Vtuber Maker not quite working on #SteamDeck

When asking for a product review, it's probably worth keeping in mind that I will happily dive down rabbit holes until my voice gives out. I'll probably work on a cleaner more scripted version, but here is the contextual overview.

Let's go back a few decades and talk about why a ban on TikTok cannot work.

Mostly uploading this just to have more content going. Late night ramblings going all over the place.

2 hours. I think the longest recording not involving explaining game development. Anyways, I wanted to go over why the lack of Zero Day Linux software is almost unexcusable in relation to a newly purchased Glorious Model O2 mouse. To get there though is a long lecture over the effects of market inertia and why companies can succeed against that inertia. That this also gave me a chance to cover the differences between the #SteamDeck and other mobile platforms was just a bonus.

Absolutely zero context for what's going on here.

Last year the launch TMobile HomeISP 4g modem was replaced with a shiny new Nokia 5g21 Gateway. Since then my network performance has cratered. Simply put #ThisIsNot5G. So let's get into the weeds of just how terrible the current modem is to use on the one tower available versus a tethered phone ALSO on TMobile 5G.
