    Why are they called gaming laptops when they don’t play the games themselves?

      I want to see a laptop capable of fully simulating how pro gamers truly react. AI on its own right now isn’t there yet but monitor manufacturers are implementing “basically cheating” features in that direction.

    This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.

    Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works beat me to this observation.

      And if there’s a highway, why don’t they talk about it on c|trees

      (And why doesn’t the markdown page say how to reference communities?)

    It’s because it is the result of the action, like a drawing. We just don’t say a built, or a drawn. I’m not sure why we used the gerand in English, but we do.
