Obsidian but with syncthing here, just syncs the files across my devices.

You don’t need the extra do in the do-do scenarios.

“You do do that though” “You do that though”

Devs should be recording the questions they answer and then put it all in a blog post.

With AMD supporting their sockets for long periods of time, there’s -1 reasons to buy Intel.

It’s co-op, that’s been confirmed for a while. Unfortunately the rest of the details so far only exist in a Discord chat. Woo…

Call of Duty is known for recycling as much as possible to pump out yearly games, I was actually surprised to hear they convinced management to give them time to rebuild the engine.

Besides, doesn’t Bethesda Game Studios have more employees than Infinity Ward?

They just dont want to invest the time to overhaul the engine or start from scratch. Even Call of Duty managed to do this.

Poor performance is the future of all big titles, so buckle up. They want to make games as quick as possible.

Or more likely, they will just move the domain to be a generic TLD instead of a country code TLD, due to it’s popularity in the tech space.

But Amazon will just replace them for free without any trouble, which is why I tend to go to Amazon for sensitive hardware, for the peace of mind.

The last time I purchased something from another electronics store, it was faulty and they tried their absolute hardest to refuse to take it back and then still wanted me to pay for a courier to return it - congratulations, you lost a customer.

According to Steam it does. I stay away from AAA bullshit myself anyway.

The account creation sucks, but it’s mostly in multiplayer games or for a multiplayer feature in a game, to enable things like cross-launcher play and such (not needed if they made it right, still an attempt at data collection). God of War is a singleplayer game that has no need for an account requirement, so it’s just there for data collection, singleplayer games shouldn’t even be connecting to the internet.

Can we stop calling it AI?

Yep. As more people buy GPUs that have the capabilities to use machine learning upscaling (the bandaid) then the more likely developers are to use it instead of spending time improving performance.

I see it the most in Unreal Engine games, Unreal Engine allows devs to make a “realistic” style game fast, but performance is often left in the dirt. UE also has some of the worst anti-aliasing out of the box, so DLSS for example, is a good catch all to try and improve framerates and provide some AA, but instead you just get a lot of blur and poor graphical fidelity. The issues probably don’t exist at higher resolutions, like 4K (which is maybe what they develop with), but the majority of people still use 1080p.

Oops sorry for the rant! I just got pissed off with it again recently in Satisfactory!

Pros, more fps on low end hardware.
Cons, worse image, ghosting, blur, artifacting, lower overall performance because devs rely on upscaling.

It’s existence is a crutch. Games should be made properly and not rely on ML upscaling for meaningful performance.

Hardware is insanely powerful at the moment, the problem is time isnt spent making the most out of it anymore, which then increases demand for more powerful hardware (that we dont need). The sales loop for Nvidia, except now they want to sell you ML optimised cards, which cost more.

Fuck off Nvidia.

Yeah, I’m not too familiar with US fair use, seems fair use if they weren’t profiting from it, but it’s harmless really as long as they don’t mass sell prints I guess?

It’s nerf so it’s gotta be orange right aha, as least it isn’t blue and orange!

Oh right yeah, extra confusing in the way I worded that too.

A guy called Josh commissioned the original art, I don’t know if he was a Bungie employee or not. I was just interested in peoples view of this dynamic. An artist takes money to draw/copy copyright material and then is immediately upset when someone is taking money for their work too. I know it’s not apples to apples, one being a corporation and one being an individual. I was just unsure on where the line is drawn on this kind of stuff as I don’t spend much time in the art communities.
