Wow, it really is fucking terrible.
Doesn’t seem to exist at all in EU. Disgusting either way.
I also like the Halloween pillow (and the cutie sat on it)!
Yep. As more people buy GPUs that have the capabilities to use machine learning upscaling (the bandaid) then the more likely developers are to use it instead of spending time improving performance.
I see it the most in Unreal Engine games, Unreal Engine allows devs to make a “realistic” style game fast, but performance is often left in the dirt. UE also has some of the worst anti-aliasing out of the box, so DLSS for example, is a good catch all to try and improve framerates and provide some AA, but instead you just get a lot of blur and poor graphical fidelity. The issues probably don’t exist at higher resolutions, like 4K (which is maybe what they develop with), but the majority of people still use 1080p.
Oops sorry for the rant! I just got pissed off with it again recently in Satisfactory!
Pros, more fps on low end hardware.
Cons, worse image, ghosting, blur, artifacting, lower overall performance because devs rely on upscaling.
It’s existence is a crutch. Games should be made properly and not rely on ML upscaling for meaningful performance.
Hardware is insanely powerful at the moment, the problem is time isnt spent making the most out of it anymore, which then increases demand for more powerful hardware (that we dont need). The sales loop for Nvidia, except now they want to sell you ML optimised cards, which cost more.
Fuck off Nvidia.
Man, I was like why are 12 year olds voting?
Yeah, it’s a shame they abandoned TF2. VAC is my preferred AC though, they were ahead of the curve with ML detection, now ML has blown up in a major way, that is what we should focusing on for AC, not borderline malware.
Honestly, he probably had no idea who he was, got told some prolific person (who?) was endorsing him by his campaign managers and just went with female pronouns from the name ‘Nicky’ and called them hot to hype them up in some fucked up way?
Because he doesn’t give a shit about anyone, he isn’t going to put a second to learn about them.
Yeah, I’m not too familiar with US fair use, seems fair use if they weren’t profiting from it, but it’s harmless really as long as they don’t mass sell prints I guess?
It’s nerf so it’s gotta be orange right aha, as least it isn’t blue and orange!
Yeah, “kernel level anticheat” has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it’s better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.

Oh right yeah, extra confusing in the way I worded that too.
A guy called Josh commissioned the original art, I don’t know if he was a Bungie employee or not. I was just interested in peoples view of this dynamic. An artist takes money to draw/copy copyright material and then is immediately upset when someone is taking money for their work too. I know it’s not apples to apples, one being a corporation and one being an individual. I was just unsure on where the line is drawn on this kind of stuff as I don’t spend much time in the art communities.
No, the nerf gun is sold by Bungie in collaboration with Hasbro. Whoever did the art for the nerf gun, whether in house or contracted, looked online and just stole the artists’, Tofu’s, work. Bungie are compensating them for it, so its a non issue now, but its just another case of art being stolen for official products.
I mean there’s clearly some little bits that are the same, but they can’t claim that much as they want because the weapon looks like that anyway.
How does it work when you get paid for deriving from a copyright piece of material in the first place?
The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn’t needed or requested.
Kind of fun, kind of chaos. Games start off pretty calm, then quickly turn into ability and dash spam. It feels quite clunky in places. The map is kind of confusing and unnecessarily complex. I personally think it would work better in a more traditional MOBA setup of 5v5, 3 lanes. But they are still refining it, so maybe it will turn out a lot better than it currently is.
It’s so tiny that it’s a waste of time and money. Most phones can charge in an hour now, so there’s no need to shave 60s off a night charge by exposing your phone to the sun all day.
Carry a power bank if you are constantly draining your phone all day.
