I generally use cubic interpolation for the least quality loss IMO . Shrinking an image will result in quality loss no matter how you slice it , though , since you are compressing the information . <| sep |> I didnt care for Gen 5 ' s plot . Honestly I think it ' s highly overrated on this sub . Out of what you listed in my opinion only XY ' s was worse . DPPlt , HGSS , and even ORAS were better . <| sep |> This doesn ' t make sense . The author states repeatedly that there ' s a risk in this that the consequences of such complete identification are unknown that we must be wary . It ' s clear in fact stipulated that we do not know that any harm might come from allowing murder in virtual reality . And beyond that , it ' s certainly the case that any harm that might come from it can only be tangential that no actual person can possibly be harmed in virtual reality , and that it can only possibly be the case that there might be some correlation between bringing harm to an image in virtual reality and bringing harm to some living , breathing human . Illegality , on the other hand , has immediate , measurable and undeniable destructive effects . Making a thing illegal by design brings harm to living , breathing humans . So the author is arguing that we should deliberately and willfully bring harm to human beings because there might be a risk that allowing them to do some particular thing in virtual reality might in some way contribute to the possibility that they might at some future point in time commit some entirely separate act that might bring some harm to human beings .
