Only a 4070s and 1080p

[sinful cobalt]

Name a recent gpu that struggles in 1080p at high ?

[hardy merlin]

None
Maybe 5050

But 2k is 1080p and I will die on that hill

[mellow garden]

I look forward to 1440p DLAA on my 4090

[sinful cobalt]

And im looking forward for my beast x

Sadly I'll have to use a DualSense, Valve keep denying us the new Steam Controller.

[verbal nymph]

fr, I want steam controller

[compact oriole]

So many ppl getting crimson

Hope streamers will get early access, so I can watch some gameplay live to decide

[hardy merlin]

I want DS2
Looks like MGSV 2.1 and I wanna play it
Plus it doesn't have Denuvo

[serene orbit]

Yeah i want 1440p oled with dlaa on my 5090, but no way im putting my 5090 into a shitty motherboard with no pcie quick release

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

Meh
As long as it has PCIe 3.0 or better it will be fine
It's the PSU you should care about

So the dual sense feels good compared to the Xbox controller?

or am I being psyoped

[mellow garden]

DualSense > Xbox controller

[compact oriole]

It's a total psyop

[outer pollen]

I’m debating on buying the marathon dual sense that’s why

[compact oriole]

Idk it's personal preference. I don't like the stick placement

[outer pollen]

I’ve always used Xbox controller as well

[compact oriole]

Maybe you can order it and send it back within 2 or 4 weeks?

We have that option here

I sometimes order stuff knowing it's a trial to possibly send back if I don't like it

[mellow garden]

Don't buy the themed controllers unless you want to repair everything yourself

If you send it off to Sony for any repairs, they'll just send a normal colour back,

[outer pollen]

Are they bad quality?

[mellow garden]

They'll stick drift eventually

[compact oriole]

Man wtf

[hardy merlin]

Replacing sticks sucks, because you have to disassemble the whole controller
Even if you get Edge with replaceable sticks - good luck, sticks are never in stock, and whenever they show up they are being snached by scalpers
That's one of the few problems with DS

But mine are still not drifting after quite some time so

[orchid prism]

seems like a quality game. the world is insanely huge which kinda worries me. might be another as big as the ocean as deep as a puddle typa deal

Oh my god, from @digitalfoundry: this thing needs TWO RTX 5090's to render those demos 🤣😭😭😭

Yes it will be optimized but don't hope for 3X. This tech will be a techdemo for Blackwell users, practical only for RTX 6000. So here's your carrot for the next upgrade.

So the 6000 series will be precisely as useless as the 2000 series, good to know

[nimble current]

oh no we gotta wait almost a decade for this to be viable on midrange cards? say it isn't so

[fringe salmon]

nope its on a new node so it will be inherently better clocks even if they only add AI

[narrow junco]

@ivory dune made a new ring and decided to mist my old one

[fringe salmon]

20 series didnt change node so the iso performance didnt change much

same as 50 series being same node as 40 series

[narrow junco]

i love 20 series for just increasing the prices and shifting the naming scheme over by 1

[fringe salmon]

for gaming it was eh, for nvidia it was the best one ever

allowed AI to take off and all their features like dlss

[vivid wharf]

I like how they demonstrate it on Requiem where devs hired models to portray the characters

but then dlss 5 just replaces their likeness

oblivion examples are the stuff of nightmares too

Will glance at that later, already had enough fun with a dream about being a vampire in prison. Knowing so quickly after seeing glowing yellow eyes and being given a way out through air duct. Making it back to neighborhood to only find flesh torn with hell hounds in the vicinity.

Fun dream

[young hill]

Well information is power

Probably would have landed this way even if it got delayed.

You wanna fun movie to watch?

[cold anvil]

Honestly dying in a dream is probably the quickest way out

Works for me atleast

[young hill]

I mean I enjoyed it, like it was another reality

Well not the last part

[cold anvil]

The amount of times I’ve thrown myself into many dangers just to wake up

[young hill]

I mean if it works I guess

[verbal nymph]

Waking up realizing the dream is just a dream is worse. Sometimes I really thought the dream is my new reality especially when it feels so close to reality

[young hill]

In my case it is more like I decide time to wake up

[young hill]

Same

[cold anvil]

Idk I dont really have crazy dream often, rarely nightmares. Closes thing to nightmares I get now is when I accidentally go to sleep the wrong way and I slip into this sleep paralysis like state where it feels like exactly my room and I’m not really in sleep paralysis and I can move a bit but never get out of bed

Usually happens when I fall asleep on my back ngl

[young hill]

Is there ever a demon in the corner of the ceiling?

[young hill]

Cuz that just reminds me of Insidious

[cold anvil]

I never see anything, only feel and hear. Sometimes it feels like something is trying to pull me out of bed

[cold anvil]

One time I had this happen and I hallucinated sounds. It sounded like something was rattling my door handle from the other side very aggressively trying to get in. Slamming my door

[young hill]

Is that all

[cold anvil]

Yes and it freaked me out cause it felt and sounded so real

[young hill]

Fair enough

[verbal nymph]

noice, little nightmare

[cold anvil]

Nothing beats terror and the feat of the unknown dude

Just the build up had me quaking 😭

[young hill]

Well do let us know if you ever figure out who it is

It is a dream

We are not in a movie

[cold anvil]

That dont make sense at all…..

[young hill]

If you realize it is a dream you can also control it too

[cold anvil]

Nah never, even if I do I question it and hesitate. Afraid that my actions may have consequences…..

[verbal nymph]

it does make sense, I once dream of the end of the world. Where the Earth is moved to a place far far away.

[young hill]

Hmm interesting

[cold anvil]

One time I had a dream that was literally like a whole master piece of a story and I woke up in tears. Didn’t even relate to me at all it had like characters and everything just for me to forget it

I think the universe gave me a best seller and made me forget to troll me….

[young hill]

No laughing on this, but you can get a journal

To write it down if you want

Some people do so

[cold anvil]

It was like a 3 hour film in my head no way I’d remember

That was a while ago anyways like 2 years ago maybe

[young hill]

Damn bruh's dream already planning a new theater runtime

[cold anvil]

I dont remember anything besides it was really good, had me in tears, and ended with a beautiful melody

[young hill]

If you enjoyed it perhaps it was enough

[verbal nymph]

I remember mine because it's very vivid. One time I dream being in a world with Magical girl. On one of my school trip each would die while protecting us to a pilgrimate. Just as I reached the destination which is a Christian institution, I got to see a glowing city located in the middle of a meteor crater. The last part looks soo nice that it's etched on my brain.

[cold anvil]

I couldve been rich!!!

[young hill]

Then you would have gone insane with the money😝

[cold anvil]

Sounds cooool..

Nahh Im too cool for that. Probably…

[young hill]

But sure it is an idea many people crave

[young hill]

Not trying to offend you, but the only way I can relate is that it sounds like potentially some anime movie or show

That last bit is interesting though

[verbal nymph]

It's alright, even in the dream I question why am I in this trip because... I'm not a christian

[compact oriole]

uncanny valley and the slop are part of the process of getting to where we want to go. any given day you observe AI its the worst itll ever be

nvidia didnt do themselves any favors turning the dials to 200% to AI insta filter that shit for their investors. but the vision where its supposed to go and/or where itll lead is there

also putting the faces front and center instead of the cool lighting tech was a bad decision imo. cz that stuff i thought was really impressive

[narrow junco]

I can see the vision (i am legally blind)

[compact oriole]

general dlss was also unusable piece of garbage when they first released it compared to native rendering. now its really good. idk why people always make a big deal out of this shit

[orchid prism]

(Because it looks like garbage?)

[nimble current]

its gonna take like half a decade at least for this shit to even be usable on midrange systems anyways

hopefully its evolved past using the generic slop filters until then

[compact oriole]

any given day you observe AI its the worst itll ever be

i agree it does look like shit

[orchid prism]

Great. Don't try to market to it till it doesn't.

The entire announcement just reeks of bad AI slop - which is definitely the worst way to announce something you want to become a standard.

[compact oriole]

ok, dont release early access games, dont release trailers of games that arent done yet

obv idk what nvidia is thinking. i take it as a proof of concept. they ran that shit with 2x 5090s. itll be a while until consumers get this and even longer until it looks really good

[nimble current]

I mean not everything looked worse in the trailer, but those faces just set them up for widespread ridicule

[orchid prism]

That's such a bad counter argument haha.

Here's this new cool thing we've worked hard on - Yes it looks like crap. Don't worry about it

[orchid prism]

Can't agree with that.

[compact oriole]

ye its a bad argument if youre not able to see more than 10 seconds into the future.. should devs not show their alpha gameplay anymore?

or really anything that has RnD

[orchid prism]

They literally showed example after example of actively making things WORSE. That's not early access.

[compact oriole]

i definitely agree it was a bad move in how they did it and what they prioritized (the faces instead of the lighting tech). but the idea and what itll be in the future i think can be cool

[nimble current]

I just find it funny how they themselves couldn't see how generically AI slop the faces looked, like this is the stuff the masses have been bemoaning for the past couple years and now they're shoving it into video games and be all like look at this stuff isn't it amazing and totally the future?

corpos being so absurdly out of touch with the general public will never not be funny

[compact oriole]

they also used pictures with bad settings to compare to.. like this is re9 maxed without the new tech

[orchid prism]

Faces and objects warped in the moving shots
Lighting of the scene completely ignores, shadows completely vanishing and getting blown out on bodies and especially faces
Every face looks like an AI slop meme variant of "Gamers want beautiful women, not these western hags"
Claims reflections and lighting is improved, every example just shows a complete loss of depth and contrast in favour of BRIGHT AND CLEAR

[hardy merlin]

Did she took a bath in vaseline?

[compact oriole]

prolly supposed to be wet from the rain

[nimble current]

yeah the faces in this game doesn't look great to begin with imo

[orchid prism]

Hahaha. Can't even show the AC example. It's already been self deleted.

[nimble current]

the environments are quite impressive but the faces are like games from 5-10 years ago tier

[hardy merlin]

It really looks better than original

[orchid prism]

No. No it did not.

[nimble current]

mansen just a hater smh

[hardy merlin]

Now does

[nimble current]

the future is slop old man

[orchid prism]

You're welcome to disagree. I haven't seen a single example of this AI filter actually improving the scene - or respecting the environment over "lol bright and sharpen filters everywhere, shadows and contrasts? whatdat"

[small comet]

idk man i dont thinkit looks better imo

[orchid prism]

There it is. Shadows gone everywhere. Turns an overcast day into bright sunny times.

[lone cosmos]

it just looks like a brightness filter

[orchid prism]

And it desaturates everything too.

Could this work if the "filter" actually reads raw data and interpolates it? Sure. But this isn't what they're showing off atm 😄

[lone cosmos]

i dont even use 4.5, nevermind 5

[scarlet marlin]

it just looks brigther, nothing better imo

[orchid prism]

As it stands this is just ComfyUI nVidia edition running frame by frame filters with no data about models - which explains why things get warped. Like that poor football player. Or the black guy getting turned into a white guy 😄

[lone cosmos]

Race reversal by AI is crazy

[scarlet marlin]

The worse stuff is when they 'improve' the faces of characters

[small comet]

hm yes now i get this meme

Since it doesn't actually read mesh data and just begins reshaping faces? Absolutely.

Like I joked yesterday, you might as well give it a popup menu, where you can attach a photo of random actress, and prompt it to change her face and curves in realtime. It's just prompting using frame stills as source material.

I will say that nuance has been lost on this topic due to the black and white nature of the internet. There’s absolutely communities which defend the polar opposite of unrealistic fitness/beauty standards.

[lone cosmos]

given this came from twitter of ALL places this is unsurprising to read.

[scarlet marlin]

in a way Japanese is a lot easier cause you pronounce stuff how its written, were in the west we have a lot in consistencies and combos that make new sounds -> which is very hard for them

[buoyant osprey]

Yapanese svarabhakti game is strong

[hardy merlin]

Every time I hear Vietnamese, my brain just kind of breaks.

Such a distinct sound.

[scarlet marlin]

its that they cant pronounce the r's like in the west

[buoyant osprey]

«West» is quite vague. Many western languages aren't like this

[scarlet marlin]

thats why I kept it broad, every language is different

[hardy merlin]

It's the USAnians who can't pronounce proper rolling R and they use the soft R

[scarlet marlin]

im just speaking from speaking multiple western languages and studying japanese

anyways, thats the fun of different languages~

[mellow garden]

Don't forget to complete this weeks MCQs

[compact oriole]

its funny that japanese is so consistent that once you understand their patterns even without speaking japanese you know how theyd pronounce stuff

[nimble current]

well they call it hard R but its really not a rolling R still

[hardy merlin]

Most languages are consistent, just English is very much not

[nimble current]

polish was consistently confusing as hell that much I picked up on my visit

[hardy merlin]

Though pronunciation is consistent

[compact oriole]

ye i think its the way the japanese alphabet works. where you have rigid consonant vowel constructs

[buoyant osprey]

Japanese also barely has any vowels

[compact oriole]

about 5

[scarlet marlin]

like explaining to people who are native speaker from an asian language, why the g is pronounced differently based on the word and where it is, is just very hard for them, cause there is no 'rule' to learn

garage, language etc.

[compact oriole]

in english its giga convoluted because theres no actual rule to many of em

[nimble current]

there's quite a few inconsistencies in how consonants are pronounced in a word in swedish also

[scarlet marlin]

or how you just dont pronounce certain letters in a word like neighbour

[nimble current]

also a word that is spelt the exact same can mean different things depending on intonation and context

[compact oriole]

id still say english is one of the easiest languages

pronounciation being the hardest part

[buoyant osprey]

I wouldn't. Easy if you're already a native speaker of another IE language sure but otherwise no

[compact oriole]

which language would be easier

[scarlet marlin]

thats my whole point, it really depends on what your native language is

[buoyant osprey]

For who? How easy a language is depends on your native language and what other ones you might be familiar with

[nimble current]

I can't say for sure how easy it is exactly bc I started learned english almost as early as my native language

[compact oriole]

ok, of course a language adjacent to yours would make learning it easier. but im speaking in general terms

[nimble current]

so its basically been second nature all my life

[compact oriole]

like im a native german speaker, learned italian growing up and learned english in school

id argue germanic and roman languages are harder than english, and from what i hear slavic and asian languages are quite hard too

[buoyant osprey]

English is Germanic

[nimble current]

I started learning english from computers and tv movies and shows before I even started learning it in school

I tried learning german and it was kind of a disaster despite knowing two other germanic languages prior

[compact oriole]

i guess it did originate there ye.. anglo saxon

[buoyant osprey]

If you're a native German speaker that also knows Italian then English is very easy yeah but then that's because you were both predisposed to find it easy as well as learning another language that also shares a lot of vocabulary with English

[lone cosmos]

I thought english is the hardest to learn?

[compact oriole]

but english also has pretty easy and straight forward grammar

[small comet]

they dont call it spaghetti bolognese in italy

[buoyant osprey]

Germanic is just a language group and means originating from a common ancestral language called Proto-Germanic. So English, every Scandinavian language, German, Low German, Dutch, etc.

[small comet]

and italy and english both dont have a concept of spaghetti ice like german and the germans do

[buoyant osprey]

I call the pasta itself for spaghetti but that upsets some baka gaijins

[scarlet marlin]

this is not the best image, but based on what your native language is, you have an easier time learning a language that part of the same 'core language'

[compact oriole]

im not really taking my experience in how hard i think it was to learn each english but like how hard the grammar is

simplest example how in german you needto know 300 articles for each gender and.. i forget the word. kasus? and in english its only the

[scarlet marlin]

with that logic, asian languages would be easier cause they dont use articles like the

[buoyant osprey]

Finding those hard is relative

I could imagine speakers of languages with a very free word order and like 7+ casus might find the strict word-order English relies on more difficult than just learning another casus language

So Lithuanian etc.

[hardy merlin]

In polish every noun is gendered

[fathom swift]

There's that one etymologist guy on yt. He basically said all languages are equally easy to learn as children, as there's no reference point to other languages that are related. When it comes to adults, the harder languages are the ones furthest away from the origin of your own language

[buoyant osprey]

That's the case for almost every European language though

[compact oriole]

gendered as in the article it goes with?

der schrank, das kind, die wand

[scarlet marlin]

yes

[buoyant osprey]

Gender as in needing gender agreement. Masculine/feminine/neuter adjective with a noun of the same gender etc.

Most European languages do this

[compact oriole]

true. maybe my argument is self referential afterall

[buoyant osprey]

English is just one of the few exceptions

[scarlet marlin]

its even the case in the netherlands, but its so hard to tell (as there is no rule for it) that people dont learn it based on gender. You just learn which goes with which word and then it also becomes a feeling thing (if you use the wrong one, it sounds wrong too)

which makes it hard for non natives to learn dutch

[fathom swift]

What was your argument? I haven't been in this convo long enough

[hardy merlin]

Similar, but here in most cases it's how the noun ends, whether with consonant or vowel

[quiet vault]

der Haus

[compact oriole]

i was arguing that english is one of the easiest languages to learn because imo its grammar has more streamlined than most

[scarlet marlin]

trying to explain this if your language doesnt follow a similar structure is very difficult for them. So again, it really depends on which base language you have and then start to learn English

[glad lake]

that's why i speak Frisian, much easier

[scarlet marlin]

German Frisian or Dutch Frisian?

[glad lake]

i have read the book, i had read the book, i will have read the book.
i read the book, i read the book, i will read the book.

[scarlet marlin]

book = read

[fathom swift]

One of the "Easiest languages" is very subjective tbh. People that speak mainly Asian languages often say English is extremely hard because it's so different in basically every way

[scarlet marlin]

yeah Ive been trying to explain this too hahah

[fathom swift]

Oh really lmao

That's what happens tho

[lone cosmos]

so will i have an easier time learning german?

[scarlet marlin]

We just got into a language discussion hehehe

[compact oriole]

ye. i guess im arguing based on the languages i know and because a ton of languages follow the basic way english does it

[scarlet marlin]

depends on what your native tongue is + if youre motivated

learning a language is just a lot of time and effort

[quiet vault]

https://youtu.be/ScvzSEaUrBs?is=Dl2CYwsbq8JhrNzM

no dlc?

[scarlet marlin]

people still play this game?

[buoyant osprey]

Honestly I prefer it when forms are more distinguished in languages. That makes it easier to me. English has more conjugation than for example Norwegian but so many of the forms are just the same in English. Like no distinction between first and second person in most verbs (I speak you speak)

[lone cosmos]

english and yes

[quiet vault]

if it got a good update i would play it again

[buoyant osprey]

In a way I find the more archaic English where you have -est for second person easier

[scarlet marlin]

then I would say yes, German has some tricky grammar things. This one of the things non native speakers struggle the most with, but you can learn anything if you put your mind to it :)

[fathom swift]

Fair. In English, Japanese sentence structure like yoda it makes you sound

Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut

[compact oriole]

the great thing for german words is that you need to learn the article for every word like its part of the word since the genders dont actually correspond to them. like cupoard is a thing but it has a male article or child has a neuter article

[quiet vault]

Otherwise a few people I went to school with learnt other languages based on family heritage.

[quiet vault]

or some chinese language

[scarlet marlin]

speaking top 5 just unlocks the world gg

[stiff fiber]

I learned english and spanish in school but actually I did not learn. I only learned english for understanding youtube video on gaming or pc

[scarlet marlin]

thats always a good start

[buoyant osprey]

Most Americans say they've had Spanish at school for a few years yet I've never met an American that knows Spanish. All that time wasted

[stiff fiber]

I knew some people who wanted to learn japanese for watching anime but it did not work

[nimble current]

damn weebs

[scarlet marlin]

its a nice way to get familiar with the language, but anime Japanese is not daily-speak Japanese

[exotic musk]

[scarlet marlin]

very informal

[stiff fiber]

same for most french people who learn english during 7 years in school 😂

[mellow garden]

You need to keep practising a language

I stopped practising German after completing my GCSE, I don't really recall much of it.

I've even been to Germany and only communicated in English.

[scarlet marlin]

like in anime they often use the word 'kimi' for 'you' but if you would address a random Japanese person with kimi, its like stabbing them with a knife

[quiet vault]

ohio

[scarlet marlin]

ofc among friends etc is different

[quiet vault]

im friends with all humans

and animals

[compact oriole]

i didnt really learn actual english until i started gaming in an international clan for cod4 lol. my english from school used to be terrible

[buoyant osprey]

I learnt a significant amount of my English from playing Runescape in my childhood

[compact oriole]

i remember my english was so bad i didnt understand when some people talked to me and id act like its internet issues

i was so embarrassed

[quiet vault]

i love that u can easily tell when a german talks english

especially in videogame voicechat

[scarlet marlin]

I think it also depends on how serious a country/school takes English learning.
Some dont really focus on speaking etc. so they will have class, but they just learn words or sentences and now how to learn vocab and grammar rules to then be able to make sentences yourself etc.

I think thats very important

[stiff fiber]

the best way to learn a language might be to have a hobbie in this language

[compact oriole]

i too suffer from german accent syndrom

[buoyant osprey]

The one time I went to Germany I had a hard time finding people that seemed to know English to a conversational level

[quiet vault]

i learned english bc i liked eating burger

[buoyant osprey]

But then again it's Berlin I went to. It's possible none of them were even German

[compact oriole]

this is so true idk if its funny or sad

[stiff fiber]

you can live in Berlin without speaking german like I did

[quiet vault]

berlin is its own country

[stiff fiber]

own dimension I would say

[buoyant osprey]

The only English speaking chap I found was a Middle-Eastern taxi driver

[lone cosmos]

only american ive met that spoke a different language was an asian fellow, and that mf pulled out a sentence in arabic…

[scarlet marlin]

I love reading comments about people being surprised that Calder speaks mandarin

when he lives in Taiwan

[quiet vault]

he protecting the island from china

[buoyant osprey]

Asian meaning what? There are Arabic speaking languages in Asia

[mellow garden]

Wooting out here all over the world and I'm stuck in the most boring ahh commuter town

Most interesting thing that happens around here is a new pothole

[lone cosmos]

idk he just said he was asian, didnt specify

[compact oriole]

i think people are always surprised seeing non asians speak chinese. also i didnt even know he lived in taiwan

[lone cosmos]

from what i remember he was fluent in arabic though

[scarlet marlin]

Guys im gonna make a custom minecraft client mod, give me ideas for features

[compact oriole]

ok but i feel like thats a minute detail people dont pay attention to. and personally i thought he was only in taiwan to shoot the videos of production specifically and would then go back to the netherlands or smth

[scarlet marlin]

that sounds very expensive ;)

but yeah he lives there with his family

[bleak pike]

Isn't black cat an anti hero

[scarlet marlin]

cant u say the same about loki?

think it doesnt really matter if theyre 'good'

[bleak pike]

It depends, MCU he's an anti hero and the comics he's like an actual villain haha

But he's known to shift at times, but you're right aye

[orchid prism]

Ironic when the MCU gets him more correct.

[scarlet marlin]

I dont think it matters in the game tbh if you look at the roster.
its mostly that they base some skins on the comics/movies/series etc.

but im also not a marvel media consumer so I dont really care, I just want more girlies~

[mellow garden]

I've become a bit of an MCU enjoyer in recent years.

[bleak pike]

The MCU had decades of source material

The comics have to experiment every so often and reboot all the time

[orchid prism]

I meant... to the mythology 😛

[bleak pike]

Oh

[orchid prism]

You know... that thing that's over a milennia old

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-tom-hiddleston-loki-gif-10593267

[orchid prism]

He's always been a smug and sly muthertrucker.

[scarlet marlin]

is true in mythology as well that loki is genderfluid?

like they can be what/who ever they want

[ivory dune]

They are the trickster god

[buoyant osprey]

No not really. He's a shapeshifter yes but genderfluid doesn't sound right and is too modern

[scarlet marlin]

not strictly bound by gender sounds like genderfuild to me

[vapid lintel]

Speaking of fluids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdVTLGD4bbA

@hardy merlin

[hardy merlin]

[buoyant osprey]

Genderfluid is a kind of new word to me but Loki is technically a man that also can shapeshift into a woman or non-human which he does to gain something, not to «identify» as something else

[ivory dune]

Genderfluid is not a new word heh

If you look at certain native american tribes, gender fluidity dates back a loooong time. And that's just one example I know of, there's many more

[buoyant osprey]

Sure but Germanic mythology doesn't follow this. Germanic society and the reflections in mythology are very strict on gender roles

[ivory dune]

They're not as much actually

[buoyant osprey]

Loki is made fun of for doing these unmanly things

[mellow garden]

Why have I just installed Marvel Rivals?

It just looks so unnatural. This whole thing is just a way to justify all the losses being made for ai. Open ai knows they’re losing money and nvidia keeps funding it even if they’re shooting themselves in the foot with the component prices going up. “Dlss 5” is a last ditch pathetic whimper of a fart in the wind to try and convince us that all the ai bullshit is actually worth it. They should’ve just focused on actually improving the ai upscaling we’ve had for years now or the framegen or just idk actually fucking innovating instead of pushing investor slop

Subnautica 2 lawsuit has gotten a recent update
The judge forced krafton (the company that fired the main devs) to reinstate ted gil as the CEO of Unknown Worlds and give him full control over the early access of the game and the judge forced krafton to extend the period on which unknown world’s team can meet the revenue goal to earn 250 million dollars

Lawsuit isnt over though, this seems to be the first part of the deal

The judge also says that kim (ceo of krafton) was looking for ways to get out of this deal to not seem like a pushover that overpaid for the company with the judge finding a monthlong plan called “project x” which included consulting ChatGPT multiple times for helping with messaging to change leadership to fans

@maiden tulip been fiddling around with handheld boost, doesn’t work flawlessly in very few games which is expected. Like fluctuating and inconsistent framerates. Like in the games I did notice it in I can see how the average person wouldn’t notice it at all cause of the vrr. it is quite obvious if you know what you’re looking for though but it isn’t anything crazy

Its more like 45-60fps

I noticed it in rocket league

[small comet]

so it doesnt save the game for anyone
