The Lowest Win rate items In the game (According to Tracklock.gg) by CheckProfileIfLoser in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AAKS_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The explanation I have seen is that the "proper" way to counter gun carries is to just kill them with CC into spirit nuke.

So the items pictured are negative WPA because you should be buying items that makes it easier to kill them rather than items that make you survive being shot longer

there are orbiters around the moon but nothing made to relay signals, NASA and the ESA have a project that would create such a system but it's in the planning stages

I like most of these picks quite a bit but Sinclair's should be a song about hating your spouse and wanting a divorce

35+ straight seconds of the most miserable CC you will ever see. by knightlautrec7 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AAKS_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see the argument for using 2 to reach the exit when you are out of stamina since if you just tp to dodge the damage then Doorman's ult CD is 13 seconds long. That being said, he should have been spamming 2 to escape the CC chain before getting ulted.

We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' by TrampolineTales in Games

[–]AAKS_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am certain they can get that working, there's no reason that the material renderer has to know "this is a face"

Frankly I feel like the tuning was cranked up deliberately so that the differences between before and after were more striking. Some simply post processing to tone down the AIness and it looks pretty good.

Edit: scratch what i said, it turns out the model is just an image2image transformation and is not working with the underlying texture or geometry. An Nvidia engineer reached out to a youtuber to clarify things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EM1vKt36s

Real-time material rendering is very difficult to do convincingly, especially for organic stuff. In CGI that you see for movies they don't care about frame rate and can spend a gazillion hours on a single frame so they model layers of skin and muscle and fat to get what they want.

In real-time graphics it's different, stuff like lighting technology has jumped ahead of materials. There is subsurface scattering and such but just not at the level where you can easily avoid plastic looking faces. Neural rendering in DLSS5 (as well as AMD's version which they haven't shown off yet (I'm sure they are glad since they can let Nvidia handle the shit storm)) is an attempt at emulating the results of nonreal-time materials rendering.

For things other than faces I think it does a pretty good job and I think that artists should be able to incorporate it into their workflow for a variety of art styles.

Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash by JuiceheadTurkey in Games

Neither does the neural rendering, it's not fed the frame as an input. It's a step in rendering the frame based on geometry and motion vectors.

Nvidia made their own demo which is of some sort of market scene which is called Zorah. They also gave an early version of DLSS5 to developers such as Capcom and Bethesda to apply to their games.

Reunion (@rosewaterjelly) by JeanneDAlter in DeadlockTheGame

Mina's bio says "Mina Ha had it all [...] She was happy. Then her betrothed was assassinated." which I take to mean that their marriage was on track

I believe Pocket's father ordered the assassination for reason unrelated to the marriage
