    Sometimes the networks throttle your downloads....it happens on Steam as well.

    steam downloads will always be quicker than any console even on worse network conditions because Steam downloads are a special compression that requires CPU use when downloading. This is why by default "download when playing a game" option is disabled in Steam, because it steals CPU cycles away from the game. This is also why the Steam Deck cannot download games while in sleep mode, it requires an active running CPU to download and decompress on the fly. This is also why when you download games on steam, you'll see your CPU usage spike. Xbox and playstation don't use similar compression, which is why they can download while asleep and in-game, but are slower to download as a result.

    Ah. It would've been kinda funny if they gathered all this new atmosphere data on different schools and then forgot to render the directional lighting of stadiums. 

    If you don't render the directional lighting, you'll get a black screen. The lighting pass for stadium lighting is baked diffuse lighting. I did a game for the Rockets and got to use their toyota center assets for the arena, and until l baked the lighting the entire arena would appear pitch black. With modern game engines, you basically can't forget to render lighting, because the default lighting model isn't full on full bright anymore.

    A quick view of wiki tells me 1995 was a #9 Texas vs #16 aggy matchup. They only one I see where both were top five is 1975 with #5 Texas vs #2 aggy.

    JS1 said "at least vying for a BCS bowl berth." Winner of the SWC in 1995 got an automatic berth into the bowl alliance, which is what they called the BCS before it was called the BCS. That win got Texas a sugar bowl berth.

    I was wondering when  BOTH teams were contenders. 05 aggy ended 5-6 and 09 aggy ended 6-7

    Im talking end of season clash between two teams vying for top 2 in the BCS or at least a BCS bowl berth 

    Last time Texas and Aggy played with anything remotely of consequence on the line for both teams was 1995. They had a 5-1 record in the SWC and Texas had a 6-0 record heading into the final SWC game, winner took conference. Of course, per tradition, aggy shit the bed and Texas flexed in a historic moment.

    I'm not saying it's funny, I'm saying the way surly in particular can and has framed stuff that is serious in the past is with a lot of irreverence with an underlying tone of seriousness and gravity that isn't lost on the posters. 

    I've been using the internet since 1989 when my folks got compuserve. I've been on the internet way, way longer than you. I've been on all sorts of boards, I quite literally grew up alongside chan culture and all that shit, when stuff like something awful was the nexus of the internet and fark was actually a thing. The default mode of the internet for 30 fucking years has been aggressive irreverence, "being serious sucks," whyucare bullshit. Perhaps, get this, we're fucking tired of that shit that you seem to still find so funny? Perhaps, just perhaps, it's not outrage culture that has lead us to where we are, but rather this worship on "funny above all else"? Because, honestly, what you find funny isn't. The vast amount of humor on this site is cringe-ass 40 year old tough guy bullshit.

    And the escalation of fuckery and punishment of students for speaking the wrong speech continues

    https://www.kut.org/education/2024-04-26/ut-austin-says-arrested-protesters-including-students-will-not-be-allowed-on-campus

    Protesters arrested for trespassing at UT Austin this week will not be allowed back on campus despite charges against them being dropped, a university spokesperson confirmed Friday.

    The spokesperson did not respond to questions about how this could impact students who have final exams and plan to graduate in a couple weeks. A spokesperson told KUT the Office of the Dean of Students determines penalties for students, including how long a ban is in place.

    Fifty-seven people were arrested Wednesday during pro-Palestinian protests on the university campus. UT Austin said roughly half of those arrested were students.

    That includes Jumana Fakhreddine, a senior and pre-med student. The 22-year-old said she was arrested Wednesday afternoon, about 10 minutes after joining the protests. Fakhreddine said four to five officers lifted her off her feet and put her in zip-tie handcuffs.

    The charges against her were dropped and she was released from jail just after midnight Thursday. She said since her release, no one from UT Austin has contacted her. She found she was not welcome on campus through a flyer circulated by the university.

    “We thought that because the charges got dropped, we would be able to go to campus because we felt like that proved we didn’t do anything wrong,” she said. “But I guess that’s not true.”

    UT Austin warned students before the protest that they could be disciplined for participating.

    Fakhreddine said she's not sure if she'll be able to take her organic chemistry final on campus next week. She doesn’t need the class to graduate, she said, but does need it to apply to medical school.

    “Initially I was angry about the whole thing, but I’m sad about how an educational institution is treating its students,” Fakhreddine said. “It just feels like such a betrayal.”

    If I were her, I'd lawyer up, the university is fucking up her future.

    I knew this chick in grad school who was Edging-worthy.   Oh wait, did you say edge-Lordy?   What the hell does that Even mean?  Is that a like a Cleveland steamer?

    An edge lord is someone who is offensively cringe as fuck but thinks they're blowing minds. An edge lors is basically the default of a 4chan protestor. Edge-lord examples would be doing stuff like "ironically" wearing blackface or doing a nazi salute.

    in a nutshell:

    and the NCAA will recognize the Trojan title in 2004

    Uh, why? The NCAA has quite literally never recognized any title prior to the playoff era. The NCAA never awarded nor recognized the title, the BCS did, which the NCAA had absolutely fuck-all to do with. Prior to the playoff era, post season games were exhibition in nature. The NCAA only recognizes conference championships, not BCS national championships. This is the whole "M" in the "MNC" thing.

    Meanwhile, I'm going to finally beat NES Top Gun.

    the trick is to ignore the "up up down down" shit on the landing screen. All you have to do to land in top gun is line up your alt and speed gauge on the left with the target alt and speed written on the screen. The "instructions" telling you how to land are random and don't correspond to anything. Once you realize that, the game is a complete breeze.

  9. I can't remember a time when the media fawned all over a Texas QB like Arch. Obviously VY and Colt were amazing QBs worthy of praise, but national media has never been one to drool over Texas. When VY was here, it was all about Matt Leinart and Jason White and so forth. Shit, Colt beat Sam Bradford head to head several times and yet the media dick rode him and tebow and so forth over Colt. Whenever in the past media outlets have talked about Texas QBs, it's always been begrudging praise over the unavoidable level of play they exude.

    But with Arch, you have everyone from NCAA to NFL drooling all over him. To say nothing about his actual tenure at Texas, it's safe to say Arch is likely the most hyped Longhorn of all time.
