apparently because it already uses a stupid amount of CPU, and low settings move some things from the GPU to CPU

Netflix also already do this for their cache appliances too

Steam kinda already does this too with the shader pre cache using data and files from users with similar hardware specs.

Just had a weird thought, listening to this song from Billie Eilish: Happier Than Ever.
I think everyone looks for some way songs are relatable to them. I was listening to this song and couldn't initially find it relatable, but then I thought of sociopolitical conflicts and thought of the abusive relationship between generations in the culture wars of every single nation on the planet...and I think I found its relatability.

I did use VSR on NMS and DAAAAMNED its noticeable
I have a distinct feeling down the line games like NMS are going to see a pretty substantial visual upgrade.

hopefully they remember to add substance
but also don't go stupid hyperdetailed like dwarf fortress or cataclysm. there's a balancing act between substance and shiny that devs struggle to pull off

True
I think whats been nice for me is VSR allows me to play NMS at 4k on a 1080 panel
It just looks fantastic
Runs at a solid 6ofps too, so all good

im sorry but a game that messes with the player's mind does not make it a good game and if anything all that does is agitates the player regardless of how the game is

well yeah you’re right, that does not make it a good game. The well written story, well designed levels, strong character development and big surprises throughout the game making it less predictable does make it a good game.
I’m really glad Niel and Naughty Dog didn’t succumb and make the games fans wanted, and made what THEY wanted and what inspired them.

I don’t form an opinion about whether or not they’re good games until I’ve played them. Otherwise, my opinion is as good as a bag of shit on someone’s porch on a hot summer day.

i knew from the beginning it was gonna be a dumpster fire

glass plinth
Eh
they are far to pedantic for me
With the exception of Dark Waters and a few older ones
those were brutal
cinder vessel
live action is a bunch of dorks in costume struggling not to laugh at themselves imo
glass plinth
I dont watch live action either.
With a few exceptions
Hrmm, I am looking forward to the new Dune.
Always was a fan of the 80s one, i think it was 80s
cinder vessel
imagine if that were animated instead
cinder vessel
well that sucks
glass plinth
To be honest, the live action dune was surreal and fantastic
But there are so many versions
Most suck
However, this new one is DARK and I love it
cinder vessel
i hate the American tendency to treat all animation as for children, it's depressing af
cinder vessel
that's a cartoon
glass plinth
Eeesh, that was dark even to me
That being said, Dune is well suited to live action, if the director is amazing.
This new one really nails paul though
the facial expressions
Its crazy how hard portraying paul is
cinder vessel
on second thought, thank goodness they're not doing another animated Dune. Knowing US animation tendencies it would probably end up sterile and corporate
glass plinth
It doesnt hurt the people portraying the harkonnen are so spot on.
Gave me shivers
Viscous, depraved, sadistic
perfect harkonnen
Really I sorta measure a dune movie by the scene with Vladimir Harkonnen in the pit of fluid . If its done right, its very very good
cinder vessel
blanking on the guy's name, Luc Besson(?), guy who did the recent Valerian should be brought on for the Dune visuals
guy is a mess of a director but has an eye for visuals
glass plinth
Oh yes
I agree
Though the guy who did this dune, has a passion for it
colors
So many different apsects
cinder vessel
the trailers i've seen just seemed rather flat
glass plinth
I also think they did well deciding to tape in jordan. The desert there has a lot more diversity of types. So dune feels a bit less... flat.
The scenes I saw were pretty well what I wanted from the movie
Especially paul
Duncan... ehhh
Dont get me wrong, I like the actor
not sure he was the right fit
However, Paul and his wife, and his father and mother, MWWWUAH!
cinder vessel
i've tried to keep my exposure to much of it to a minimum past the early trailers, as i tend to with just about any movies
cinder vessel
i take it it still isn't out?
glass plinth
Its out in europe
Just not stateside
they decided to do some late edits, after the european release for the US
they werent sure some scenes were exceptable to americans
To violent
The Harkonnen scenes almost have a odd similarity to the depravity of aliens
That twisted, sexuality
depravity at its peak
I know one scene is DEFINITELY being cut
shudders
I was surprised they used this one scene from the book with Vladimir Harkonnen. His sexuality was egads.
Speaking of story, was playing a old rpg, man, I didnt notice until recently how similar part of NMS lore is to a old european rpg
Not to mention, now that Im doing a full playthrough again, how much the lore of NMS shifted, but thats a topic for another channel lol

2 more suppliers went bust today so your choice is about to be easier.

Scottish Power for me.
My electricity bill is already £209 a month tbh, not sure how much it'll go up when my price lock ends early next year.
I imagine I'll be seeing around £240 ish.

Good thing that babies don't care where they sleep.
thorn dawn
I heard they grow though
winter yew
Oh, yeah. That does happen.
My first baby is nearly as tall as my wife. I keep asking her to stop growing but she won't.
Disrespectful tbh
thorn dawn
maybe they're like gremlins. have you tried not feeding them?
winter yew
Hmmmm. You could be on to something here.
charred badge
Good thing that babies don't care where they sleep.
Why do I feel like "sleeps like a baby" is ironic
Ours would never settle, until I had the daring idea to disregard the discharge nurse's recommendations and unswaddle him
winter yew
There was so much bad information we got that we in the end opted to just work it out ourselves.
We was being told dumb stuff like wake baby up to feed in the middle of the night.
Errrr no.
Unswaddling so they can move freely, imagine that. Dunno why they'd even recommend to swaddle. Silly people.
thorn dawn
Why do I feel like "sleeps like a baby" is ironic
They do sleep more deeply than adults though. Ain't no one picking me up and carrying me round the room without me noticing.
winter yew
That's what you think.

Hah. Hahaha. A lucky baby does that

Never caught me yet.

I see people carrying their kids around sleeping and... Nope.

Weird
cinder vessel
could import your created species as playable characters and some other interesting connections if i'm not mistaken
thorn dawn
I mean
seems perfectly fair to me
Epic told apple exactly what they were going to do
If you don't want someone to use your words against you...
also splitgate is apparently eating fortnites lunch so Tim Sweeney may have killed Epic by running his mouth

update 7 sure changed something
glass plinth
Sigh, i can never go back. Not after what they did to my faction
The update essentially erased it

i took a lot of screenshots without being in the camera suite because it looked spectacular as it was

So many bugs occured witht he back end sim
Well at least your enjoying yourself Valkie

i heard the update made carriers disappear
gaunt dust
good thing i dont have one
glass plinth
hehe
I mite come back someday
Just not anytime soon.
I miss my home world a lot
I miss being hunter by the local cartels
Back in the day, I was working with my faction when I got a mission to kill the fricking leader of the local cartel, broke into the neighboring system. This triggered a multi year civil war that flared through the local systems. That gave me a opening to spread the faction to 3 systems
At the peak my faction controled billions of humans.

New anti-air turret

After the update, it all fell apart, they reset part of the simulation
My entire faction just collapsed

Sea of Thieves was quite fun on gamepass, was playing that a while ago

Soul was part of alpha testing for that heh
sleek cloud
ah
daring spear
It is fun though. Way more so if you play with people instead of going solo. That's where my issue was. No one to play it with
sleek cloud
that's a shame as it is more fun with others
sometimes you might get a decent group of randoms but not often

I got to play with people twice. I'm not big on playing with ransoms on things that need actual communication to work well

But that's a me problem lmao

Why buy expansions if subbed

IDK how it is now but expansions only became available via subbing after one year

so I assume none of the new stuff which now gets released every few months with a paywall
is free

also ||probably better exploration than NMS||
now i’m more excited to play. though i can say i’ve played games that are much stronger exploration games tbh
cinder vessel
tbh i don't know that for sure, hence the probably, it's just that it wouldn't surprise me
willow crypt
oh gotcha
Skill Up didn’t like NMS
but does like Sable
probably because of a more guided storyline
cinder vessel
that and it's really a bit of apples & oranges
for a better comparison you'd want something else that's also scifi & proc-gen to some degree
willow crypt
yeah. more open
cinder vessel
like Out There is a roughly decent comparison point imo
In my last run I actually got to pick up an alien to just...Have along for the ride, lol
And in one jump they pointed out some space phenomena that enabled me to jump further without using as much fuel
cinder vessel
Tough, but I think it's good/interesting
dry copper
Sable releasing today. Looks interesting
I don't know how they fucked the shadows up in that game
It's literally two tone shadows and they still managed to fuck it up
The game should be able to render the shadows super far away with that little rendering dynamic
I'm guessing they didn't downgrade the shadows and are rendering them in multiple tones, but only showing the one...hence why the shadows don't all render
Which is sad, because for a game that uses that kind of aesthetic, they could've gotten away with some incredible optimization shortcuts
austere lance
Which is sad, because for a game that uses that kind of aesthetic, they could've...
Yeah uh, it stutters and has some pop in on next gen 💀
It has the exact opposite of optimization, LMAO
dry copper
I'm guessing the same shit with particles. Rather than downgrade particles, they prob ran them with just modified textures
The aesthetic in Sable would look awesome in NMS
The cartoony feel

What, you dislike not being able to play a single player game offline? 
But grasshopper, how else would they keep track of the sacred leaderboards and prevent hacking? 😫
cinder vessel
ah yes i play the singleplayer game to compete asynchronously with total strangers i have no interest in
austere lance
Cuz it totally doesn't have a cracked version with everything unlocked that completely skips the shit progression system
dry copper
Funny thing is...crackers look at that shit as a welcome challenge. They break it or get around it and then earn credit for sticking it to the DRMan
That shit only ends up hurting consumers that pay and don't cheat
cinder vessel
i'm almost certain GOG is the only platform where the new Hitman has a low rating, 'cause GOG community doesn't take this shit, lmao
