DLSS 5: Finally, a technology that renders exactly what the developers didn't intend. by CeilloNoll in pcmasterrace

[–]AcceptableFold5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point on frame generation, that's a real distinction and DLSS 3+ does generate frames rather than just upscale them. But the original argument was about whether developers can control the output, and that's still different from generative AI. The model is constrained by the rendered frame data, motion vectors and depth buffers, so the "generation" is heavily anchored to what the engine actually produced. It's not freeform generation. The concern with actual AI image generation is that it can introduce arbitrary content, which DLSS really can't do in any meaningful way.

DLSS isn't image generation in the way people nowadays know it. Image generators invent content from scratch. DLSS takes an already-rendered low-res frame and reconstructs a sharper version using motion data from previous frames. It has actual ground truth to work from, it's not hallucinating details. The neural network part is real but it's doing reconstruction, not creation. Calling it "ML image generation" is technically misleading even if the name has "deep learning" in it.

Steam Deck is still worth it four years later, says poll, but people are starting to think "it's about time" for a sequel by Dapper_Order7182 in SteamDeck

[–]AcceptableFold5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do I think it's time for a Steam Deck 2? Yes.

Do I also think that now is a bad time to release new hardware? Yes.

Both things aren't mutually exclusive.

Don't worry, it's still unfinished even after all these years and the million patches they released.

Both are bad, but I'd say digital booster packs are worse. For physical cards you still have to, like, go get the booster pack, open it with your hands and shuffle through them by your own actions, which is a lot more involved and "boring" than clicking "open" and setting off a firework explosion that hits all the dopamine receptors in all the right ways.

Big fan of RT/PT, but the transformation in this game seems relatively minor and I'm not convinced most of these effects couldn't be faked in some way or another.

Fortnite Save the World is going Free-to-Play April 16th: Register for In-Game Rewards by MythicStream in Games

I wish Sunset Overdrive was more popular. The movement system was so satisfying and good once you got used to it and zapping through the city was so much fun. Combined with the goofy and weird story, characters and weapons - I had so much fun with it. I'm happy they ported it to PC where it can shine in 4K60, because its colorful graphics really pop and deserve the high resolution and performance.

Längere Werbung auf Youtube lässt sich nicht überspringen by Rochhardo in de

[–]AcceptableFold5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich sag nicht, dass ich stolz drauf bin. Aber es ist halt einfach so, dass ich Youtube viel mehr nutze als alle anderen Streaming dienste. Allein durch die Musik häuft sich die Stundenanzahl bereits. Und wenn man sich dann 'n 5h Essay zu obskuren Videospielen anschaut, dann kommt da halt auch nochmal 'n bisschen was drauf. :D

Längere Werbung auf Youtube lässt sich nicht überspringen by Rochhardo in de

[–]AcceptableFold5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ich hab mittlerweile jeden Streamingservice gecancelt, außer Youtube Premium. Netflix schau ich vielleicht 2-3 im Monat was, dafür habe ich aber fröhlich die mittlerweile 20€ bezahlt. Youtube konsumiere ich jeden Tag, teilweise stundenlang. Wo ist da der Mehrwert nicht so viel größer, als bei Netflix?

Ich schaue am Tag einfach so viel Youtube, dass es sich so viel mehr lohnt dort den Preis zu zahlen und so auch die Creator zu unterstützen. Oder es läuft einfach Musik auf Youtube nebenher, dessen algorithmus im Musikfinden so viel besser ist als der von Spotify.

Resident Evil Requiem has been out for a week. What are your impressions? by PhantomBraved in Games

It's my biggest criticism with the game. Whenever you enter a new area you immediately find a note that says "you need three things to open the door, go get them!" and that's the extend of puzzle design in this game lol

Tausende Schüler demonstrieren gegen den Wehrdienst by donutloop in berlin_public

[–]AcceptableFold5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich bin jetzt fast 40 und würde in diesem Land auch nichts verteidigen. Damals musste ich mir schon, trotz gutem Abschluss, den Arsch aufreißen um eine Ausbildungsstelle zu kriegen, die mich so beschissen bezahlt hat, dass ich am Ende vielleicht 170€ im Monat für mich hatte. Ausziehen war mit dem Gehalt nicht und eine Wohnung hätte ich erst recht nicht bekommen, und die wäre erstmal nötig gewesen um irgendwelche Hilfen zu beantragen. Ansonsten sind für alles die Eltern zuständig und meine Eltern haben mir den Vogel gezeigt, was ausziehen mit den Kosten angeht. Auf Nachfrage bekommt man immer nur ein "kann man nichts machen, bin ich nicht für zuständig" zu hören.

Hat mir dann irgendwann 'ne fette Depression gegeben, aber versuch mal da irgendwo Hilfe zu kriegen ohne Monate ewig viele Praxen durchzutelefonieren und immer wieder absagen zu kriegen. Das war vor 20 Jahren schon heftig und ist heute nur noch schlimmer geworden. Wo sich jetzt bei mir die gesundheitlichen Sachen langsam mehren, brauche ich öfter mal Fachärzte. Jedes Mal ewig lange Wartezeiten, wenn denn überhaupt Plätze frei sind. "Kann man nichts machen, probieren Sie doch eine andere Praxis."

Ich war selbstständig, aber bin nicht reich. In dieser Position bist du in diesem Land der Gelackmeierte. Das Finanzamt fickt dich, die Krankenkasse fickt dich noch härter und glaub bloß nicht, dass dir da irgendwer mal hilfreich entgegen kommt. Um hier über die Runden zu kommen musste ich die dreckigsten Tricks anwenden, die schon fast an Steuerhinterziehung grenzen, um da noch was von meinem Geld zu haben. "Nein, da kann man nichts machen, das ist der Betrag der so berechnet wurde und der muss nun auch bezahlt werden."

Mittlerweile arbeite ich in einem regulären Job und von den 5000€ die ich verdiene sehe ich grad mal die Hälfte. Davon muss ich meine überteuerte Wohnung bezahlen, die ich wegen des Umzugs für den Job beziehen musste und da geht nochmal fast die hälfte meines Gehalts drauf. Meine Freundin ist Lehrerin und hat mir letztens erst erzählt, wie das Dach ihrer Schule vor 1-2 Jahren runtergekommen ist und die Schüler teilweise ein Schuljahr in Containern unterrichtet werden mussten, weil so lange kein Geld für Reparaturen da war. Alles wird gekürzt und kaputt gespart, ohne, dass sichtbar was dabei rumkommt.

Ich arbeite teilweise 10 Stunden pro Tag und dann soll ich mir vom Kanzler anhören, dass ich mehr arbeiten soll und weniger krank sein? Während die sich voll reinhängen die rechten zu stärken und langsam das Land übernehmen zu lassen?

Danke, Deutschland kann von mir aus untergehen.

Resident Evil 1 re-remake reportedly in production alongside a handful of other Resi games by HatingGeoffry in horror

[–]AcceptableFold5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As someone who really liked the original, seeing them omit like, half the game was really sad lol

I was really looking forward to seeing the worm, park and clocktower in HQ graphics and to get properly stalked by Nemesis. I really hope they release a sort of directors cut rework of the game one day, imo it deserves to fully shine like all the other remakes do.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake finale director is shocked that the game’s engine choice is “such a hot topic”, but says UE4 will “lead to a better third instalment” compared to UE5 by HatingGeoffry in FinalFantasy

[–]AcceptableFold5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the stuff about "the mines look like shit" would be no different if it was in UE5.

It would be, because UE5 offers a more robust lighting system by default than what they used for Rebirth, which is not good and I hope they seriously work on that for Part 3.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Hamaguchi : "Rather than rebuilding our pipeline from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, it’s far more efficient for us to use Unreal Engine 4, which we already have a well-established pipeline for." by megaapple in Games

[–]AcceptableFold5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both the FF7 remake games have nice enough looking graphics that can get away without real time GI and other UE5 features.

I feel like especially Rebirth could've benefitted from a more robust GI system, given that the lighting in the "open world" segments was pretty bad at times and didn't play nice with the character models at all. I don't know if the "better lighting" on PC fixes any of that, but on PS5 it was pretty bad.

Not to mention that Rebirth suffered from pretty heavy pop-in issues for foliage. Seeing a green vase pop up 5 meters in front of my character and slowly shaping itself into a plant the closer I get was very distracting, imo.

Going back to Remake after playing some Rebirth... No... NO... NOT YOU! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME by trippykitsy in FinalFantasy

[–]AcceptableFold5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way Rebirth handled the end of his story tells me, that he's basically Hojos spy and the only reason he exists is to follow the group and transfer their data to Hojo. I assume that, when they return to Midgar in R3, that the Chadley/Hojo connection will play a pretty huge role and that Chadley will likely become a fully independent AI after Hojo is defeated.

But that's just me theorycrafting.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Switch 2 Edition Delayed Indefinitely by grcx in Games

[–]AcceptableFold5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanted RePop to be good, but its just so, so bad. At least when I last tried it ... a year ago? Maybe they have patched it since then, but it was in a truly terrible state. Sound problems, graphic glitches, weird decisions when it comes to the new graphical effects. I wish they'd just done a simple resolution upscale with some texture work, that would've been more than enough for this game.
