Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

Send 'em all our way (EU) I’m sure we’ll find a use for it.

I must admit, it’s not “just” a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.
So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for “an errand” and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.
From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terribly my PC’s performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.
Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and… 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.
Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.

Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they’d still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers’.

Surprising they didn’t include the end twist in the title somehow.

Like the other poster said, just make it yourself. Reddit is bound to piss off more of their users and they’ll need a place to land.

Terrible sense of style though. Always so incredibly tacky.

I’m amused by the idea that the more rich and powerful these people grow, the more certain “common” things are pretty much out of reach for them: regular friendship, love, family ties. Everything is about power balance and tit-for-tat with these guys. Good luck finding anyone who loves you for “you” and isn’t after your fortune. And even if you do, good luck recognizing it and acting on it!
- Comment on China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense 1 week ago:
Amen. I also work in IT and I find the longer I do, the more I loathe new tech stacks and developments. I used to be passionate about new tech and its applications. Now I just want to be left alone where possible.

Fascism wrapped in the flag and carrying a bible. Exactly like it was predicted.

China can afford to sit on these minerals for years or even decades. EU, US and Russia don’t have that luxury.

No matter how you spin it, China comes out on top. They get to sit back while their main adversaries simply throw away every advantage they’ve built up over the last five decades or so. The only winning move is not to play…

Most retailers have announced price hikes across the globe. I had hoped EU would actually get cheaper electronics and whatnot because of dumping. Oh well. Guess this 7 year old pc is going to have to sing it out for a few years longer at this rate.

If fate is exceptionally cruel (to us), he’ll live to 100+ while losing most of his faculties much earlier while still being propped up. Seeing as to how the worst possible humans to exist seem to somehow outlast every decent person ever, I’m not holding out much hope.

I’m also trusting billions of freeloading foreigners (bacteria) to help digest the food in my intestinal tract and not go rogue or provoke cancer on a daily basis.

That’s what they count on. They only have to get it through once. We have to fight and win every time, as the UK recently found out. Vigilance has to be key, no matter how hard they make it. But I concede it’s tiring as all hell.

You’re kidding but this is actually true. Investing in funeral parlors and similar services is probably a good idea right now; first the excessive dying of the poors, then war. It’s going to be a golden age for gravediggers.

I pass like 15 lights on my commute and the amount of time standing still for NO REASON is absolutely infuriating. How much could it possibly cost to add a simple sensor? No cars coming from the sides? Light stays green! But no, it’s all just dumb timers instead…

The only thing I know gas stoves to be better at than other methods is traditional wok. But that’s hardly a reason to jeopardize your health for.

Most of current LLM’s are black boxes. Not even their own creators are fully aware of their inner workings. Which is a great recipe for disaster further down the line.
