I’m in a country town in Australia, fortunately we have a good mountain bike trail network close by that I try to go to weekly. Karri and jarrah trees as well as some pine forests, loamy soil, a small river running through the middle of the network. It’s a beautiful area.

Your setup is absolutely diabolical, I appreciate the commitment to the bare essentials.

How very Petersonian of Person 1. JP would be proud by that level of semantics.

Haha that’s an interesting 20fps cap option.

I want to give an example of Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. The battles in that game have very low frame rate, about 18 FPS. I modded the game on steam a couple of years ago and unlocked the frame rate, so it was running at 60fps.

I remember it was transformative to the point where it was unsettling to look at, because I had become so accustomed to 18 FPS for that game.

Absolutely after a few battles I preferred it, but it did strike me that some aspect of the games’ identity was tied to that low FPS. Nostalgia is a powerful thing for me.

I think player expectations play a big role here. It’s because you grew up with 20fps on ocarina of time that you accept how it looks.

I’m pretty sure that game is not a locked 20 FPS and can jump around a bit between 15-20, so the argument that it is locked 20 and so feels smooth doesn’t really convince me.

If that game came out today as an indie game it would be getting trashed for its performance.

Gonna need some elaboration on that last point. You’re saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship? Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

You’re not necessarily streaming video on YT music, just audio.

He also refuses to admit that most Christians wouldn’t define God in the way that he does.

Peterson is in practice an atheist that has successfully monetised right wing religious conservatives, and can’t risk alienating that base by admitting that he doesn’t have belief in anything close to resembling the way that they do.

Boost on android.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been in a lot of all-timer films, probably he’d be on balance my favourite. I do enjoy seeing Oscar Isaac, Merle Streep and Andy Serkis whenever they’re on screen though.

Chiaki and Moonlight are both great solutions if your Wifi signal is strong and your host device has a wired connection in my experience. Do people with good internet up speeds set it up to stream from WAN? This would be equivalent to that IMO.

Interesting, I had a lot of other things going on at the time so didn’t follow the issue as close as I would now. At least we’re finally getting FTTN transitioning to FTTP at the moment, 10 years too late.

Here I am WFH just fine on a 25/8 Mbps 4G cellular internet connection though. I do wish I had better connection but unfortunately not possible in my situation.

I don’t recall labor not wanting to finish it? My recollection was that it was the libs not wanting to go through with it and that’s how we got fibre to the node after they were elected.

I get that running fibre all the way to every premises in rural areas like Alice Springs would have been ridiculous though.
