Serena and Venus Williams believed they could beat any male tennis player ranked outside the top 200. Karsten Braasch who was ranked 203 in the world at the time challanged them. He played them both back to back, and fucking slaughtered them. It wasn't even close.

Yeah, he did...when Braasch was a grown man and the Williams sisters were in high school.

I wasn't aware they were so young. I guess you do need to put that into account. I will mention though, Venus Williams broke into the top 5 that same year.

I really want to give Robert Roberts the benefit of the doubt but...

Dudes want extreme due diligence & infinite time to "weigh the facts" because we've got our own shit to answer for

We want a MOUNTAIN of context to excuse OUR behavior (enabled by an amazingly white safe-space we constructed sans personal responsibility)

Our empathy, if it ever exists, is woefully misplaced. We operate on an unspoken perversion of pay-it-forward. Forgiveness as down payment.

"Let's wait for the facts" = "lets see if ANYTHING mitigates this awfulness & lets him - and by proxy, us - off the hook here."

You've got to pay-it-forward to play and yikes I an't got no time for rapists

It's hard to tell if Bobby was just intoxicated with waxing on with the histrionic wordplay or if he actually believes some of this shit.  "Our empathy, if it ever exists"  "We operate on an unspoken perversion of pay-it-forward"  What person talks about an entire gender as this deranged and irredeemable unless they're harboring some major ghouls in their closet?

Pretentious Hobo getting #metoo in Portland is a social death sentence even if there is zero proof and he is innocent.

i checked some of the accusers twitter feeds and yup, he is still fucked and there's still no victim and the people doubting the non existent accuser have learned nothing from #meetoo and why is robby bobberts the hill to die on? 

he wishes he was a hill. a mild incline at best.

Its going to be another of those threads (like ALL WOMEN HATE THE WORD FEMALE) where a couple of posters say "Yup, its true" and its now IT IS KNOWN as an alt-right signal that meeting people like, uh, your entire ancestral fucking family tree did is creepy misogynistic oppression.
stay safe anti-social incels. Keep posting on era, don't talk to real people.

I'm not reading a wall of text. Can someone sum up what's going to with Robert Robert? Kiddo?

i've been cold quoted by hydrophilic attack on random threads a couple of times

The details are fairly inconsequential. He's been accused of sexual assault.

The irony (if you can call it that) of the situation is that the only ones actually willing to give him the benefit of the doubt are people who thinks he is an obnoxious blowhard and - as you say - don't like him very much.

Like her explicit sexism of treating men as brutish ogres leering over the diminutive female who can’t possibly stand up (physically) to her friendly aggressor. Way to set women back.

What the Sony stans don't understand is that Disney could buy Sony Pictures anytime they wanted.
The fact that they don't shows how little value there is in Sony Pictures.

At this point Disney is just waiting for Sony to crash and burn so they can get all their IP's on the cheap. Not a question of 'if' but 'when'.

[EightBitNate]

I think buying even one more large company would put Disney over the line in terms of how much power they have in Hollywood.

Game streaming is dumb;  I predect it will never really catch on.

Game streaming will look like ass on a 4K tv even compared to a regular PS4. I’ve messed around with in-home (so fulll bitrate and low latency) streaming for years and even then it sucks.

[nachobro]

Next gen of consoles will be very interesting if its the start of streaming. Microsoft has Azure, Nintendo is off doing their own thing. And now Google and maybe Amazon are getting in to the game. Sony's Ponyboy Playstation brand is going to end up at the bottom of a very large pile.

Sony bought Gaikai years ago and runs an entire service based entirely off of streaming games and another based on streaming television. I don't think their situation is nearly that dire.

My prediction is that streaming will bomb as hard as the 'TV TV TV TV TV' push did.
Connections and bandwith just aren't there yet. It will increase the market for those that play it smart (Microsoft) but others will crash and burn.

Not to mention a game like Fortnite or Minecraft doesn't need a lot of power. So if your device can run a streaming service it can run those games anyway.
Singleplayer games like RDR2 are not exactly the type of games that you stream for a couple of minutes on your smartphone screen.

Netflix had the luxury of little competition. This very small space will be very crowded right from the get go.

[Drainage]

If the superhero movies are merely a distraction for Zatt and not inspiring and empowering him to be the change for the better in his own society than they are Part of the Problem and should be banned

Internet infrastructure hasn't gotten that much better since the bone got announced even.

[nachobro]

Its not that dire, but they have issues with their infrastructure as it is now. It would be hard for a good services company to scale to the size they would need. Its going to be damn hard for Sony to do it.

Not saying they'll die off, but tech wise, they're up against some giants.

Yeah that's true. Whatever Sony has now its not comparable to AWS or Azure. We use Azure for a few things at work and other than one minor hiccup that lasted a few hours, we've not had a single issue with it.

Microsoft will do well and so will Amazon if they throw enough money at it.

Google never really 'got' gaming.

It'll be a tall order to convince people to leave their Steam libraries behind and pricing will be interesting as well.
Microsoft and Amazon can keep this on live support until it catches on and then reap the benefits. Sony isn't in a position to do so.

[Drainage]

I’ve never tried streaming with h.265 but my understanding is that is only a real benefit at low enough bitrates to be a horrible experience anyways

[ZombieSupaStar]

honestly with as much animation and "weight" that RDR2 has it feels like im controlling a streaming game with 200ms input lag most of the time. Hated it in Killzone 2, hate it here.

Ignoring for a moment that streaming is the ultimate corporate wet dream as it completely removes private property and any control over what you can consume and when, while generating a constant stream of income, streaming will never work well due to the laws of physics. The wave propagation speed of electrons through cables is below the speed of light (typically between 40 and 70%). Each time the signal runs through any kind of switch, more lag is added. Unless the remote computer is located directly next door, you will always have considerable lag, making games requiring precisely timed input unplayable (unless the program cheats and lets you win). There is no way around this.

[Rahxephon91]

How is Playstation at the bottom of streaming? They’ve been in the streaming game for years now.

Either way I see it being a bigger part of next gen, but I wouldn’t bet everything on it. Unless streaming games comes as easy and fast as music or now movies and as low cost I doubt it.

There’s also the point is that your average consumer isn’t as big a stickler for quality when it comes to movies and music. Games are a bit different. If Call of Duty lags people will notice.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

No. I don't want people to know I voted. Then they may ask me who I voted for. I don't want to make enemies.

[Occam]

In short, the signal needs to travel to you from the remote computer, then needs to be decoded and sent to your TV, then your controller input signal needs to be sent back to the remote computer. You'd need a mode of transmission faster than light speed in order to reduce the lag to an acceptable level. Which doesn't exist.

I only see streaming really take over if they offer a better experience than a homeconsole. Something like Last of us 2 with 60fps etc.

gosh i really hope they offer good games instead
