Peripherals are dirt cheap now. I remember when I built my first pc and watercooling would cost as much as the CPU and the case as much as the psu (and that was just a basic metal box, before windows became standard)

    Is evolution only affected by mortality and birth rate? (lemmy.world)
     

    Thought experiment, if a bunch of people went to live underground, would they evolve differently? Assuming they would live, die and reproduce the same as they did on the surface?

    Like, does evolution only stem from survival of the fittest, or does our offsprings genetics change at all from the environment (outside of radiation and such of course)?

    Discussion - How to handle recession (lemmy.world)
     

    Hello. I am personally not decided on how I think a government should handle a recession. I was wondering what you people think, preferably with historical presedence or other sources (if I wanted to know who screams the loudest I would just have asked Facebook :)

    For this discussion, let's take Finland. The Finnish economy is not doing too good, and haven't really recovered since covid. The states income are about 80B€ while expenses are closer to 90B€ (rough numbers). The primary reason for this is because Finns are being fiscally conservative, with low confidence in the economy. There are two opinions on how to handle this:

    • Wait out the recession. Europe is recovering as well, and Finland is bound to catch up, even if they're falling behind. Cuts to the budget will just worsen the purchasing force of the workers and lower faith in the economy
    • Make cuts in the budget, trim fat where possible to avoid a debt spiral. It's important to make the budget break even, to not continue downwards. Paying of the debt will allow us to recover quicker.

    What are you guys' opinions? Are you able to back them up more than "The violent revolution will solve this"?

    Graphical fidelity in games has plateaued, and that is good. (lemmy.world)
     

    When I was a youngling, graphics improved quickly and that made older games look worse by every year. What initially looked amazing and "life-like" turned dated in just a couple of years, however it seems graphics has plateaued in the last ten-ish years.

    I would say that we reached the point of diminishing returns around next-gen GTA V / MGS V. Not that you can't see the difference between those and modern games, but it's nowhere the leap from San Andreas to GTA IV.

    I recently started playing MGS V again and I'm shocked at how good it still looks, compare it to RDD 2 and you would probably need a side by side comparison to see the extra detail.

    We have finally reached a point where old games dont get less immersive because our baseline in visual fidelity keeps increasing, or if it does it's atleast a lot slower.
