00:40 <Vulpor> So, Ps5 is mmmk
00:41 <Vulpor> $499 for disc drive and $399 for digital only
00:45 <Ali> So they punish you for a disc drive in an age where those should be modestly cheap...

01:01 <Stormspark> I'm not buying any new consoles unless there is a Switch Pro or whatever
01:01 <Stormspark> I don't care about consoles that are just weaker versions of gaming PC's
01:02 <Stormspark> at least these aren't quite as underpowered as the PS4/XB1 were at launch...but they still won't even touch a top end gaming PC. The problem with the PS4 and XB1 is they could barely even touch a midrange PC at launch
01:08 <Ali> PC gaming is pretty crap too
01:11 <Vulpor> I am waiting for a year or o
01:12 <Vulpor> so rather
01:12 <Vulpor> We know nothing about backwards compatability
01:12 <Vulpor> We know nothing about streaming services
01:13 <Vulpor> i.e. Netflix, hulu youtube
01:13 <Vulpor> those will come but not day one
01:14 <Vulpor> I will wait a year and enjoy my PS4
01:14 <Ali> Well if the Switch is any indication, it had no backwards stuff
01:14 <Ali> Mostly due to going back to cartrige based format
01:14 <Ali> Not sure why CD ROM is still being used when SD cards can hold as much if not more memory than a ROM
01:14 <Vulpor> Honestly, I only want like 2 or 3 games on backwards compatable
01:15 <Vulpor> Elite Dangerous and maybe binding of isac
01:19 <Lumindia> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwpfXJvUpOU wolololololoLOLOLOL
01:21 <Ali> What and why is this a meme
01:22 <Lumindia> because Korone
01:22 <Lumindia> and because VTubers
01:22 <Ali> Its, not even funny..
01:23 <Lumindia> it's the hot new meme that's been going around... Korone goes "EEKUM BOKUM", the skull makes a funny noise, then she responds to it
01:24 <Lumindia> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5MpLQ8TQcQ here's the original
01:24 <Lumindia> just someone making a silly little animation
01:24 <Ali> Still not meme worthy
01:24 <Lumindia> which, for some reason, exploded into popularity
01:26 *** Sans is now known as PinkieShy
01:27 * Ali boops the Lumindia
01:28 <Vulpor> Also Xbox has benefits for 499
01:28 <Vulpor> Sony is charging 100 bucks literally for a disc drive
01:28 <Vulpor> and that is it
01:34 <Ali> And the switch is like what? Almost half that cost?
01:37 <Lumindia> wqell the switch also went back to cartridges/cards
01:37 <Lumindia> there's a good deal less moving parts in there I'd wager
01:37 <Vulpor> Well, like I said right now the line up for both consoles are meager
01:37 <Vulpor> I mean Sony touted Fortnite
01:38 <Vulpor> Microsoft has Halo
01:38 <Vulpor> This is why you wait for a year
01:38 <Vulpor> Wait for your favorite franchises to hit or until the library is there
01:39 <Vulpor> Also they have something called "the PS4 Collection"
01:39 <Vulpor> for PS+ on PS5
01:40 <Vulpor> that's groovey and all but I do not care to play Monster Hunter World again on PS5

02:13 * Ali huggles the PrincessRainbows so much and pets the little mare.
02:19 <Stormspark> the reason the Switch isn't backward compatible is because it's a different architecture
02:19 <Stormspark> GC, Wii, and Wii U were all PowerPC
02:21 <Stormspark> it's impossible for it to be backward compatible
02:21 <Stormspark> GC to Wii just made the clock speed higher and more RAM. Wii to Wii U made the GPU much faster and used 3 cores instead of 1, but it's still fundamentally the same architecture and still compatible
02:21 <Stormspark> Switch is a completely different thing
02:22 <Ali> Umm, but the Wii U and Wii both were backwards compatable at one point
02:22 <Ali> My Wii plays GC discs
02:25 <Stormspark> right
02:25 <Stormspark> because they're all fundamentally the same architecture
02:25 <Stormspark> the Wii U can play GC games, it just doesn't have it enabled by default because the drive can't read the disks
02:26 <Stormspark> I said it's impossible for the Switch to be backward compatible, the Wii U and Wii are
02:27 <Stormspark> the Switch is a completely different architecture so it can never be backward compatible with any previous Nintendo system. It is powerful enough to emulate NES, SNES, and N64 though

07:54 <Alice> Man, OpenGL annoys me at times.
07:54 <Alice> It's all state-based.
08:04 <Alice> I'd like to say that I can trust that most hardware supports this particular extension at this point, but I Know better.
08:05 <Alice> But then again...
08:05 <Alice> The OpenGL hardware database reports a coverage of 80%. It's likely that 20% is mobile devices.
08:09 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
08:18 <Alice> Gonna be honest, this whole "max line length of 80 characters" for the ARB extension explanations is annoying.
08:19 * Ali doesn't understand code enough for it to make sense
08:21 <Alice> Back in the day, when we didn't have GUIs, we had the command line prompt. Oftentimes, this was rendered onto a terminal screen that only supported something like 80x24 characters. So 80 characters per row, 24 rows total at any given time.
08:22 <Alice> As a result, it became an unofficial "standard" and habit, to write text files such that they never exceeded 80 characters per line.
08:22 <Alice> To avoid having to do any funky scrolling horizontally and all that.
08:22 <Alice> To this day, that behavior persists.
08:24 <Ali> Eh, I still remember Abort/Retry/Fail commands
08:24 <Alice> Even though we generally no longer use such dumb terminals, nor are we limited to 80x24 characters anymore, except in the most extreme cases, where there is no proper "video driver support" for larger terminal sizes, or the graphics subsystem fails to start up.
08:25 <Alice> For example, my laptop, under Linux, supports 240x67 out of the box, thanks to something called framebuffer consoles. Most computers support framebuffer consoles, these days, so you can get high-resolution consoles, etc.
08:25 <Alice> That all said..
08:26 <Alice> It's actually kind of strange that for OpenGL extension documents, this "standard" and habit is maintained.
08:26 <Alice> If you're limited to 80x24 characters, and you're writing code for OpenGL, you have a problem.
08:27 <Alice> Anyways, the reason this bugs me is because, well... Let me get a screenshot.
08:28 <Alice> https://i.imgur.com/uVrKfUI.png This is what I see.
08:30 <Ali> Not even gonna try and read that, but ok.
08:32 <Alice> I wouldn't advise trying to read it. The extension documents annoyingly make extensive references to textbooks I don't have.
08:32 <Alice> To the point of "Instead of that paragraph, use this paragraph." type stuff.

12:31 * Lumindia flops
12:37 <RazorSharpFang> American market looks like it's going down today.
12:42 <Alice> Hey Spitfire.
13:03 <Alice> I need to review probability again.
13:03 <RazorSharpFang> %chance stuff?
13:05 <Alice> Yeah, the prof is discussing probability with respect to networks.
13:06 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but why probability with respect to networks?
13:10 <Lumindia> with respect to networks?
13:10 <Lumindia> *think*
13:10 <Lumindia> what's that mean?
13:11 <RazorSharpFang> That means "as it pertains to networks" or "in the context of talking about networks" or "what it means to networks"
13:11 <Lumindia> what kind of network are we talking, though?
13:12 <Lumindia> and why would probability apply to them?
13:12 <Alice> Data networks.
13:12 <Lumindia> ah, okay
13:12 <Alice> So wireless transmission, wired transmission, and the like.
13:12 <Lumindia> could have been social networks
13:12 <Alice> And probability applies because packets can be seemingly random in arrival time and other details.
13:13 <RazorSharpFang> Alice, so far it looks like RTT looks to be pretty well modelled by a Gamma distribution.
13:14 <Alice> RTT?

19:28 <Ali> But I see a nasty drop off in the viability once mid game, 50 attack even doubled doesn't feel like much when Haxorus is like twice that.
