- Comment on Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions - Daniel Owen 2 weeks ago:
That’s a very good point, and now that I’ve seen more coverage (including this video) and got a better understanding of how the tech works (based on 2D frames plus motion vectors) I’m inclined to agree.
I wonder if it would be possible to feed this system information about object materials and 3D lighting and spatial atmosphere so it’s not just “painting over” every frame? Or if that would even help it? Because the way it works now, I’m honestly concerned ever major game will start to look homogenous.

I haven’t seen this video yet (will when I get home) but based on another by Gameranx, DLSS 5 looks like it will simultaneously:
- Ruin any artistic intent or design in character faces or other key details at the center of player focus, and
- Noticeably improve backgrounds and other bits that don’t stay under focus.
If they can program it to just skip over character models, it might actually be good tech. Of course I have near zero faith in that happening.

Can it cancel out if your bathroom is in an accelerating reference frame?

Good, good. Next, tell me there will be a 3.5mm headphone jack, swappable SD card, and user-replaceable battery and we’ll be golden.

Wait there are SIX of these letters to Faith?!
I’m not sure if she’s an iconoclastic groundbreaker or a fucking nuisance but I guess I gotta read the rest to know.

This actually makes me unreasonably happy, kinda like knowing the secrets of the number 37.

Right. But my point was poor empathy on your part.

I don’t disagree in principle, but you seem to be the only person here who thinks this one is less than clear. It doesn’t appear to be ‘misleading’ for anyone else.

You write like you didn’t lose anyone in your life to the pandemic. Must be nice.

It’s obviously 2020 because it starts at basically zero cases. Also it’s weird that your expect rigor from memes.

Or like Saints Row 3 and beyond. You mean I can wear a hotdog costume while terrorizing a city from my fighter jet? Yes please.

Came here to recommend LGIO too. Cracks me up, I’ve seen basically every video.
Some of the best stuff these days is actually on the unofficial youtube channel where they repost segments from the twitch streams, esp. when Josh collabs with other folks. There’s this UK streamer, Lollipop or something (I really need to look her up) and she might be even funnier than him. But they’re great together.

Whoa, ok thanks I appreciate the warning and details! I’ll try the existing server route first then. My friend has a domain name we could use but it’s not that important.

I assume they’ll do the same as the auto industry and banks and get huge government bailouts once investors start demanding returns. That way all us taxpayers can make sure the scammers at the top don’t have to spend one second worrying about giving up their lavish lifestyles.

I’ve seen chipmunks do this so many times. Those cheeks can hold a lot, but not as many snacks as they wish they could hold.

Terraria? That could keep you engrossed for a good hundred+ hours 🙂
- Comment on 2 months ago:
The “story”, “writing” and “characters” are also painfully bad. Cutscenes arent skippable. You can mute those bland corporate written assholes though.
I only played FH4 but yeah they were pretty awful. The Drift guy was okay though, he was basically like “hey go have fun and show off”. Generic but pleasant enough. Other characters were unlikeable.
Playground Games’ track record is still pretty good and they overtook Turn10 a long time ago.
??? These games are made by both Playground and Turn10.

- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 2 months ago:
Guess what? The modern state of Saxony (aka Upper Saxony, Obersachsen) is not even contiguous with the state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen).
Although to be somewhat fair they are connected by Sachsen-Anhalt. And basically all of northern Germany was at one point called Saxony (“Old Saxony”, Altesachsen), at least by the Romans.
Of course history is funny; Upper Saxony wasn’t part of the medieval Duchy of Saxony that followed, despite eventually taking the name.
(I’m mostly posting this because I wanted to figure it all out)

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 3 months ago:
Sure, I’m familiar with mirepoix and I know my capabilities in a kitchen.
I’m asking why practically every soup recipe or chef or manufacturer includes it. Before this thread I didn’t think anyone had a better-than-neutral opinion of celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 3 months ago:
I find a bit of soy sauce works well if a soup needs more umami.
Yep I enjoy truffles and lamb. Don’t recall if I’ve tried those other two items but mushrooms in general are nice.
