- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks Ramp Up as New Patent Suggests AI Image Upscaling Tech 1 day ago:
It will probably need to run DLSS ultra performance mode to do 1440p@60fps. So that image will look like shit since it would upscale from a 480p base resolution.

Reminds me of those conservative men who complained on xitter or insta that TikTok is sexualizing girls. They showed their TikTok feed and it is full of young girls dancing in cheerleader outfits. These men were basically outing themselves.

Yep the EU will be beholden to a dictatorial regime again. Instead placating Putin for gas it will be Xi for solar panels and batteries.

Trump hates vegetables. Probably takes out the pickles and then cries about it like a little kid when Ivanka forgets to order a burger without any vegetables.
- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 1 month ago:
Unfortunately devs at Valve eventually will be swallowed by the money making machine called Steam. It’s the way the company is structured, the people working on the most profitable projects are rewarded the most.

- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 2 months ago:
With those luxury brands the bigger the logo the cheaper it is. The really expensive stuff doesn’t have a logo or is small and subtle.
Just look at the stuff Hermes makes. Almost nothing has a logo and if it has it just a subtle “H” They are one of the few luxury brands that hasn’t followed the luxury street wear fad and are growing in sales. While the brands like Gucci and LV are loosing customers since it is being associated with trashy people, because of their focus on street wear.

Well veganism is about reducing suffering. Like if the cows didnt suffer to produce that milk. Like no forced insemination, calfs aren’t separated from their mother, male calf’s aren’t slaughtered, the cows don’t have unnaturally large udders, you only take the over production and not steal the food from the calf and the cows live a good life then you could argue that the milk is vegan. But milk is not produced like that so milk is not vegan.

They could’ve invested half of it in something else and never had to ask for another dime while keeping the game in perpetual development

Yeah more trustworthy, until it’s mating season.
Maybe this one is better, has great security features I’ve heard

- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 2 months ago:
Yep. This gen has been pretty barren when it comes to AAA games that aren’t remasters/remakes and it’s not just exclusives. The handful of AAA games I want to play run perfectly fine on my low spec PC. Sure not at 4k60, but upgrading my pc or buying a PS5 pro just for those games just isn’t worth it.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
The service providers are the ones who dictate the costs. They provide the infrastructure. The costs for these kind of transactions are much much lower because of economy of scale they handle millions of transactions per day across all their clients. Because they handle so many transactions they can charge a small percentage fee. The loss they make on small transactions, like in the cents, they will make up with bigger transactions.
While Steam uses a normal bank transactions to pay developers since they are business to business transactions. Some of them are in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars so you don’t want to have a third party handling those that asks a percentage fee. You’d rather just pay the fixed fee the bank charges per transaction. But that fee can be $10-$20 especially an international transactions. That’s why Steam waits till that money is above a $100. Otherwise Steam would lose money if they pay every developer who doesn’t clear that threshold, since Steam eats the costs.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
Rarely happens. The vast majority of game on Steam make the bulk of their sales within a few months of release.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
No you pay a financial service provider who pays Steam in bulk once a month. So yes same principle applies.
- Comment on Shigeru Miyamoto comments on AI, says "Nintendo would rather go in a different direction" 3 months ago:
They are not behind. Since they are not trying to catch up with Sony or MS. They purposely choose to use cheaper hardware and go a different direction. That’s not the same as being behind.
It’s their Blue Ocean strategy. They don’t want to compete directly against Sony and a trillion dollar company called Microsoft. Since the last time they did that it almost took the company under. They make a profit on each Switch sale since the first one was sold and they offer an entirely different gaming catalog that targets a different audience.
