- Comment on EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects 1 day ago:
Project Remora or whatever the hell Sims 5 was supposed to be was suffering from significant takeoff, vision, conceptual and design issues.
Every day, five or six designers would argue about if a feature was inclusive enough, a gesture was offensive, a Simlish term or phrase was close enough to a real life slur. If a neighborhood had enough representation or diversity.
What they learned was that reality is actually quite cruel and biased and creating their perfect garden hedge-maze of a game removed the essence and life out of it. Sims 5 did not reflect the reality that players actually experienced or had day-to-day, and it was entirely the designer’s fault.
They had created the very thing they despised, a cookie-cutter suburbian barbie doll house. With multiplayer, ripe for trolling.
So yeah, I’m not surprised Sims 5 was cancelled.

- Comment on NVIDIA is full of shit 1 week ago:
I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.
Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.
At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).
The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.
AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

I have custom comfortable full body VR, and I’ve done this exact thing in the photo. It is very uncomfortable and inconvenient after about 45 minutes, and is one of the major reasons why the Apple Vision Pro/XR flopped.

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵💫
You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?
Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

Hell yeah, I love scientists 😎
You’re right 👍

F = M×A
So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.
Also known as a balancing scale.
Magrail works too.

The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.

“Not joking nor serious” is either facetiousness or sarcasm.
In either case, it’s a black flag for Machiavellianism (belief in the superiority of oneself and/or inferiority of others) which is on the Dark Triad Cluster of antisocial behavior.
Someone pulls that shit IRL, don’t trust them.

I think you’re actually right, it’s probably Denuvo tanking performance

You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type “HD Color”, and then set your AMD display drivers to “Color Correction” in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.
My recommendation is:
Temperature: 10000 Brightness: -10 Hue: 0 (default) Contrast: 120 Saturation: 165
Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.
HDR is the key.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 month ago:
I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it’s obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.
I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.
Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.
That’s still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

As a long time DooM fan, the constant “use fire hook with double barrel shotgun for armor” got really old, really fast.
If you didn’t do it on the higher difficulty settings, like Ultra-Violence, you simply died.
I’m actually hoping they take a page from HeXen for this installment

If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.
Everything will be extremely slow otherwise.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I don’t know what GPU you’ve got, but Lexi V2 is the best “small model” I’ve seen with emotions, that I can just cite from the top of my head.
It tends to skew male and can be a little dark at times, but it’s more complex than expected for the size (8B feels like 48-70B).
Do Q8_0 if you’ve got the VRAM, Q5_KL for speed, IQ2 or IQ3 if you’ve got a potato.

My answer to this is yes.
I’m an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn’t want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).
Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don’t fall down the well/rabbit hole.
