- Comment on I just realized the only way to get new gamers to care about Jak is to release a "remastered" version, which sucks. 2 days ago:
Style and aesthetic only go so far. The low poly counts and blurry textures will still drag it down for anyone not already enamoured with legacy 3D graphics.
Pixel art games seem to have much more longevity than early 3D
- Comment on We should name the recent stock market crash the Fool's Fallout 2 days ago:
My main prediction here is Trump and his crew will continue to ratchet up the authoritarianism. And when he starts invading other countries, the markets will react
- Comment on We should name the recent stock market crash the Fool's Fallout 2 days ago:
I fully expect an even larger crash will be coming within the next year, possibly only weeks away
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 4 days ago:
Now do it for game consoles
- Comment on Mapped projections have been a thing for a while now, but why aren't people mounting projectors and dancing carefully choreographed moves to match a projection on their bodies? 6 days ago:
Projection mapping software generally assumes the surface(s) you are projecting onto is stationary. You might need special software to target a moving object
- Comment on If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, that means we've got an escape route 1 week ago:
Is this why some Christians support Trump? They think inversely the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions?
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 1 week ago:
Modern marketing, post WW2 was the privatization of propaganda.

Keep that bullshit the fuck off of Lemmy
- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 1 month ago:
I’m fine with the concept of upscaling tech. DLSS 4 with the transformer model looks excellent. And FSR 4 is looking pretty damn decent as well. The earlier attempts weren’t as good. Ideally it would be acting more like DLAA, but 8.3 million pixels is a lot to render (4K). And if 8K is going to be a thing one day, it makes even more sense there.
I think too many people focus on the now and can’t imagine what things will be in the future as they progress.
Now frame generation, that one I feel less optimistic about. Especially when I see people using it for 60fps or less. It should really only ever be used at 80fps or higher, where the lag is less of a problem. But one day inferred frames, where it only looks at the prior frames and does not wait for the next frame, might make it a better experience.
Lastly, it’s NVidia and AMD’s marketing departments fault for having them all conflated. DLFG & FFG is what the frame gen tools should have been called, rather than shoehorning them under their super sampling and super resolution branding.

- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
What a very unfortunate name for a university.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
My new mental model for LLMs is that they’re like genius 4 year olds. They have huge amounts of information, and yet have little to no wisdom as to what to do with it or how to interpret it.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 month ago:
My all-time favorites have been in place for many years now.
It’s a tie between Sonic 2 (Genesis) & Final Fantasy 6 (SNES).
They are two very different games that represent two different concepts in gaming. For Sonic it’s all about smooth, fun gameplay. With FF6 it’s all about the story and the experience of controlling an ensemble cast of characters. I can beat the first in under an hour, as while the latter usually takes 60+ hours. They’re like the yin and yang of videogames for me.

Please see updated comment. You were right
- Comment on Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts? 2 months ago:
Why would I go back to Digg when we have Lemmy?
- Comment on Normal people probably don't consider themselves normal. 2 months ago:
“Normal” is first and foremost a mathematical concept. And so by definition, everything can not all be normal
- Comment on YSK You can browse, upvote, reply, uplvote, follow and post on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. Short guide. 2 months ago:
Lemmy & Mastodon are completely different beasts with different formatting and function. This is a terrible abuse of ActivityPub IMO and degrades both services cdn.shopify.com/…/Jeff-Goldblum-scientists_2_480x…
- Comment on Copilot is on every updated PC. Forever. 2 months ago:
I turned it off and deleted on my girlfriend’s Win 10 PC. Then a few minutes later there’s a big ad trying to get us to reinstall it. Yeah, Windows is fucked
- Comment on Startup formed by former Intel engineers and backed by AMD legendary chip designer wants to become the Arm of RISC-V 2 months ago:
No thanks, we don’t need another middle man. RISC V doesn’t need people paying licensing fees for it

Are you serious? That’s excellent news!

Do you have an alternative to suggest or are you just here to whine?
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 2 months ago:
Enshittifcation imminent
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 2 months ago:
Reaction emojis, threads, screen sharing, and voice chat. IRC has none of these features. Better to get on the Matrix train

- Comment on my version is better 2 months ago:
I just learned that in Collective Soul’s Shine, he’s not saying “you haven’t let your light shine down”. But it’s actually a Jesus song and 'heaven let your light shine down." Over 30 years I was wrong lol

I just sent one in to Google Maps. Clearly it must be a bug. No such place exists
