@Avronaofficial @NormBreaker3 My desktop is in my living room. It can be loud, bright and is meant for a mouse and keyboard, limiting use.
I don't think it's a space thing with Living Room gamers more than it "fits in" with the environment.

"It's the same price but BIGGER!"

Is it the same size? It's built small for a reason.
"No."

Does it have the same cooling factor? Steam Machine is like 70% cooling system by volume.
"No."

Is it as quiet? When I benchmarked it it was whisper silent, which is a nice thing to have.
"No."

Is it tailored for SteamOS? Valve is likely going to be targeting improvements for that hardware.
"No."

Did you include the quad antenna setup with a dedicated one for Steam Controller?
"No."

Is it as power efficient? The GabeCube draws very little power.
"No."

......... does it at least have more IO?
"No."

So you built a PC for the same price that sacrifices every design advantage and are crowing that it's stronger, despite knowing that many of the choices for those advantages are what lead to a weaker system in the first place?
".... yes?"

I swear to God, I will never understand how someone as purportedly smart as the grand L holder there still has industry ties when he does things that are this disingenuous and stupid to major (and minor) brands on the regular.

President Trump has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate major oil companies for artificially inflating gas prices.

It’s difficult for a normal person to understand what happened so I’ll try to explain. The terrorist committing a premeditated act of terror saw a cop coming to him and his comrades. He grabbed a rifle and fired at the cop. One of the bullets struck the cop.

The terrorist’s defense that he actually argued in the court was that he wasn’t firing at the cop, he was firing a warning shot at the cop, and the bullet must have taken a ricochet then hit the cop because he didn’t actually mean to shoot the cop.

Yes, that was his actual defense. This is why he was sentenced to 100 years lol.

"humans were never forerunner."

>Humans only can activate the halos
>They light up forerunner artifacts
>343 Guilty Spark constantly hints at it in CE
>Cut arbiter cutscene in H2
>Literal human-covenant war is over humans being forerunners
>343 GS in H3 "you are forerunner, but this is my ring."
>Gravemind "child of my enemy why have you come. I offer no forgiveness, A father's sins, passed into his son."

Ok sure buddy, keep being wrong. It was always supposed to be this way until that fucking hack writer Frank O'Connor screwed everything up with that retcon. They're still trying to course correct to this day.

Riddle me this shillcattle, what does Forerunner mean in both reality and the context of Halo?

Forerunner is a real word. It means something that comes before another similar thing.

In Bungie's Halo, the Forerunners aren't actually called the Forerunners. That is the name ascribed by The Covenant and adopted by the UNSC to the mysterious beings who came before us. It's descriptive. No one knows what they called themselves or even what they looked like. Bungie called them Forerunners with the intent from the begining that they came before us. Because that's what Forerunner means. And the dev full of well read men who put constant references to Mythology in Marathon and Myth didn't just put words in without thought like 343i does.

As described in Staten's Contact Harvest novel, the Covenant discovered a strange race of aliens who happened to be the only ones who could use the tech of the beings they worshiped. Even worse for the Prophets, when they directly asked a functioning Forerunner AI. It showed them Forerunner lifesigns. Human lifesigns. The Reclaimers. The Prophets realised that these aliens were the remnants of the very beings they worshiped. So they waged a war of extermination to cover this up. This is implicitly the twist at the end of that book. Providing more context for something hinted at in Halo 1 and 2. And confirmed in Halo 3.

Unfortunately for the shillcattle, words mean things. Bungie used those words with intent. Or they would've used other words. Their intent from Halo 1 based on Guilty Spark's words to Master Chief and his confusion was for the Forerunners to be human. The original ending of Halo 2 supports this. It makes sense without mental gymnastics, retcons, and gaslighting. 343 Guilty Spark was not senile. At best he was Bungie's definition of rampant which was carried on from Marathon. He had developed an ego. After scanning the Autumn's archive he finally understood that whilst these weren't the same culture as his masters, they were descendents of those people. "To have a record of all *our* lost time-human history, is it?" in his own words. He was no longer confused. He was never insane. He just assumed the people who looked like his creators and wore very similar if more primative armour were his creators. Even if he was insane, ow do you mix up two seperate races with completely different aesthetics and technology? You don't. Shillcattle are gaslighting using retcons.

You cannot call yourself the Forerunner Empire because your badly written alien empire didn't know anything would come after them. Nor can you call the mortal enemy of your race Reclaimers because they didn't own anything of yours. That makes no sense to anyone who knows that words mean things. Your weird retcons can only reduce and take away from Halo. They make what was once so simple it was observable and taken for granted via a few sentences, to pages and pages of novels and wiki pages dedicated to resolving unneeded continuity errors bought about by retcons upon retcons.

TLDR: Total 343i Death

The US enacted national security export controls on the latest Anthropic AI model and the result is that foreigners, including foreigners in Anthropic's executive seats and internal positions, are not able to use the model.

Is this merely based or unfathomably based?
