Unless I am mistaken, a fair number of studies have determined that that is insufficient as a method/means to explain the capabilities that they routinely display.

Like one theory is that they somehow functionally have a literal metalic compass in their brain, or potentially … basically an ability to sense geomagnetic subtleties and anomalies, and use those as waypoints and guidelines, but… again I might be out of date here, but afaik, nobody has yet proposed a non problematic or well verified hypothesis.

Clearly ya’ll have not known any horse girls.

This is extremely normal for them.

I’d be willing to bet there are nearly 0 horse girls who are not also absolute super fans of some kind of cartoon media / video game.

I dated a horse girl back in the mid to late 00’s.

She was studying Japanese at Uni, and I am 90% sure she was writing fan subs for Death Note, as it was coming out.

Oh and she also was just fully fabricating her own cosplays, like multiple a year, at the kind of quality level you’d see people making businesses out of on etsy, a decade later.

… We did not end up working out, but she’s since gone on to literally cross all of Mongolia, on horseback.

Do not fuck with nor underestimate horse girls.

Hey there yah go haha, maybe for if he gets a new bro or sis at some point =P

Wait a minute!

That’s not Herbie!

… it’s got the wrong livery…

Appromixately a calzone, if we want to start some kind of pizza vs sandwich alignment chart type discussion, by way of analogy.

Is it both?

Neither?

I never properly like lived on a farm or ranch, but I have had a few girlfriends and friends that essentially coaxed me into being an unpaid stablehand, lol.

I enjoyed the learning experiences, genuienly, and just being able to be around animals, as disgusting and stupid as they can be haha.

But yeah, more than once, the gf that foxhunted, she’d come back with a story about how one horse in the group did something immensely bone headed.

That particular puddle? Its evil, fuck you, I’m not going within eyeshot of it.

Oh you want me to slow down around this tree, ok, here, imma take a shortcut real slow, that clothelines the rider on a different tree.

etc etc…

Oh me too!

I don’t like… dislike pigeons, they just are kinda dumb.

Same with horses, I love horses, but goddamnit are they stupid, lol.

Like, it’s not an insult to identify that different kinds of animals have different kinds of mental capabilities.

I’m just trying to point out that… while pigeons are ‘dumb’ in a lot of ways, they do also at least seem to have something akin to a superpower, so if you judged conscious entities by that metric, presumably they would all think that we are basically mentally disabled, in terms of navigation abilities.

Something does not need to be highly intelligent to be loveable, appreciated.

You basically just have to meet them on their level, if that makes sense.

I mean… don’t pigeons and a number of other birds… essentially have some method of navigating / spatial awareness that is still not well understood by science?

Basically, yeah, they dumb as fuck, but also, they seem to have something approximating a sixth sense that we do not comprehend.

Technically, its not their fault, they were made that way and have no means of changing themselves…

But that doesn’t change that they functionally are agents of evil.

… They’re basically Orcs, but with even less agency.

setsubyou got it more correct, my terminology is a bit off.

Yeah, you can lock the refresh rate at basically 15hz intervals (i think, last time i checked?), which is not true VRR, but, if you take the time to configure profiles and graphics settings per game, get stable and consistent frame rates, and then match the configurable refresh rate to that…

… this is sorta close to the … idea/performance of what true VRR is going for, it just doesn’t all work ‘automagically’.

I have an OLED, not an LCD, so yeah it looks like the LCD tops out at 60hz.

So with an LCD, you could aim for basically ‘always a bit above 30 fps’ and then 60hz, for that 1:2 ratio, and with an OLED, aim for ‘always a bit above 45 fps’, and then 90hz, for the same 1:2 ratio.

Its not the same, of course, as actually having 60 or 90 fps, but, as long as your fps never dips below the screen refresh rate, it looks/feels smoother than doing a 30fps or 45fps traditional vsync.

But of course, you’ll probably only need to do this for… significantly graphically heavy games… tons of less graphically intense / better optimized games will not need this level of tinkering min maxxing.

I realize he/she probably already has a name, but I named them ‘Sqwoober’.

A neat trick you can do with heavier games on … at least an OLED Deck (not sure if this is doable on the LCD version)…

You target 45 fps, min, lock the max frame rate at something like 45-50, then, use VRR set at a 1:2 ratio, so you get 45 fps at 90hz.

In many games, this generally, at least imo, ends you up with a smoother and potentially graphically higher quality than just targeting 60 fps / 60 hz.

You can also use Optiscaler / DeckyFrameGen to basically hack different/better ability to do upscaling and framegen into a fair number of games that otherwise don’t normally support it.

For instance, the OptiScaler people recently, successfully managed to get FSR 4 working on RX 6000 and 7000 cards, which also works on a Deck.

They essentially reverse engineered the previously leaked FSR4 driver to work on INT 8.

… ask him if he needs any covfefe?

I mean we literally had people losing fingers to Elon’s ‘obstruction detecting’ frunks in the cybertruck, this basically isn’t even hyperbole.

‘having a normal one’

…but with this most expensive and dangerous set of toys that have ever existed.

Inshallah, there will be a fatwa against every existing ‘Live Laugh Love’ piece of art, and they will be mandated to be replaced with this.

I have a … theroetical AI data center under construction.

On the other hand, if your dad actually does work for Nintendo, you may in fact be quite fucked.

Oh my fucking god.

He must have fired Noem because some part of him was afraid of being Ole Yeller’d.

There has never before in history been such a grandpa who really needed to just go to bed now.

I’ve been using Bazzite for almost 2 years now, and my… personal experience + amalgamation of all the various benchmarks of linux distros vs windows that I have seen is that basically, its variable per certain games, but generally, Cachy and Bazzite both beat Windows by roughly 5-15%, over a broad selection of games, and Cachy sometimes has a slight edge over Bazzite, and maybe works with brand spanking new games a bit earlier.

So basically maybe slight edge to Cachy, in terms of overall performance, but… its not exactly super clear.
