FMguru posted:The game gained controversy when it was discovered that designer Jacques Servin inserted an Easter egg that generated shirtless men in Speedo trunks who hugged and kissed each other and appear in great numbers on certain dates, such as Friday the 13th. The egg was caught shortly after release and removed from future copies of the game. He cited his actions as a response to the intolerable working conditions he allegedly suffered at Maxis, particularly working 60-hour weeks and being denied time off.[1][2] He also reported that he added the "studs", as he called them, after a heterosexual programmer programmed "bimbo" female characters into the game, and that he wanted to highlight the "implicit heterosexuality" of many games.[3][4] Although he had initially planned for the characters to appear only occasionally, the random number generator he had created malfunctioned, leading them to appear frequently yeah simcopter owns hard. there's a cheat code iirc that spawns a ton of speedomen

SBR can absolutely increase the perceived quality of a low bitrate file, thats what HE-AAC and opus do. at 64 kbps with either one you've basically got cd quality (or better with opus) i don't remember using mp3pro much but i think that was because it didn't sound very good. maybe the implementation just sucks

Agile Vector posted:not that it's my area, but i sorta figured, since it's similar to other successful implementations. maybe the backward compatibility was a complicating factor in quality? yeah, with backwards compatibility mp3pro or he-aac (or whatever, there's a couple proprietary implementations too) sound objectively awful lol if the player specifically had support though i doubt that was the problem. i'm guessing it was just an early, crappy codec

I mean, yeah, it's an acronym for a real thing, and as j290 says has benefits as a technology, but it was just weird to see it plastered all over the head unit. oh, yeah. i guess you could lump it in with DSP/DAB/AAC/etc too but also as jonny says, you could say the same with pretty much any technobabble. it's like swiss watches lol

Agile Vector posted:i do, too. despite liking star trek, i do not, in fact, want to okudagram my car's thermostat at 75 mph my last car had a lcd display for the temperature but it was still a physical jog wheel. it was mostly fine, although having it just spin instead of having a discrete start and end point was a little annoying. i think thats as far as i'd take it of course the a/c vents you could just nudge into place though. i cant imagine having to use a goddamn tablet to do that

i'm guessing mine was infinity spin because it ranged from like 65-80, but since it just spun around it was still kinda lovely to use because you'd have to take your eyes off of the road anyway. imo they should have put a piezo or something in there to increase/decrease the resistance so you could do it by knobfeel
