    There is also a miniature railway you can ride to a nearby town! And a beautiful house and garden that used to belong to Derek Jarman. All the cuttlefish remains you could wish for!

    I was in Belfast on Monday!

    The pub I was in was out of Tennants, Guinness, Magners, Becks and Clonmel

    It wasn’t a good pub at all

    Not selling Tennants, Guinnes, Magners and Becks sounds like the makings of a good pub

    Possible, yes. French is quite useful, even if they speak another language.

    Romance languages are too pretty to ever be useless.

    Much like how German and Russian are too fun to disappear.

    Sure we do, you just have to have known us since daycare. Once we're adults, the crushing ennui of existance will have made it impossible for us to bond with new people. Unless it's summer and we've been drinking, then it's also okay.

    I had a dream that I was trying to wash a shirt that was lightly dirty with just a washcloth but as I progressed I found more and more marks and I eventually decided fuck it, I'll just grab another shirt

    and I did, and I looked at it and thought yes this shirt is clean

    and then I woke up

    I dreamed that an old coworker came back and I ran down all the improvements we made since he left... And then he bumped a wall socket or something and nearly flooded the room. There were also dreams about hooking up some kind of dehumidifier piping and someone having a pet kinda like a cross between a slug and a caterpillar that was super intelligent and moody.


    ... Man, I had a wild night.

    Uh looking at digital foundrys analysis for MonHunWorld and wow that is not a good port to xbox. Looks like they did the bare minimum to get them running on the Bone and the X
    - General tech, animation (besides facial lip sync) is praised.
    - Clipping is visible a bunch
    - Distant enemies render at lower FPS (so they look jittery at a distance)
    - Motion blur used is not very good quality
    - Lighting and contrast levels are weird at times


    Visuals:

    - PS4 vs XB1:
    PS4 is 1080p, XB1 is 864p.
    Temporal reconstruction is used on base consoles too.
    Noticeable loss in image quality when moving camera.
    1080p on PS4 looks sharp when standing still but becomes blurry when moving. Same for XB1.

    - Pro vs XB1:
    Prioritize resolution mode:
    Pro 1800p via CB rendering. XBX 1720p native.
    Even XB1 has some kind of temporal reconstruction.
    Visible stripling and DoF look worse on Pro.
    When using resolution mode, additional detail found on Pro not present on XBX.
    Slightly higher pixel count and more detail on Pro, more stable image on XBX.


    Performance mode:
    1080p on both.
    Pro exhibits more detail while XBX has similar detail as base PS4.

    Graphics mode:
    1080p on both
    Both have similar level of detail.


    - Performance:

    No option to cap FPS to 30
    Frame time spikes all over the place.

    Base consoles:
    Base PS4 performance mostly same as Beta.
    XB1 performance generally below 30 most of the time. Generally the worst performing version.

    Pro vs XBX
    Frame rate mode: Pro avg 40 FPS and below during combat. XBX avg is higher than Pro but still feels jerky due to hitches and frame time.
    Some later areas run faster, XBX can reach 60 FPS in sparse areas.
    No combat world exploration avg: Pro 43 FPS, XBX 46 FPS. Pro draws more detail in the world compared to XBX
    Town: XBX avg is higher compared to Pro.
    In prioritize resolution priority mode Pro is slightly higher avg compared to XBX but XBX has slightly less frame time spikes.
    In prioritize graphics Pro performance is slightly faster or the same as resolution mode. XBX commands a significant lead on (8, 10 FPS).

    Summary:
    XBX runs faster in Performance and Graphics mode. Pro runs slightly faster in Resolution mode.

    Guinness, at least the one sold in the states, has kind of an empty taste to it. I’m not huge on stouts, anyway but it is very much “Stout light”.
