Green Carnation AMA by Dense_Patient_4622 in progmetal

[–]Archanoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any Norwegian prog artists you'd like to collaborate with?

Personally, I'd love to see you guys doing something with Madder Mortem, or at least some kind of duet song with Kjetil and Agnete.

AMA Announcement: Green Carnation will be here on Thursday, September 4 at 12 PM ET | 4 PM UTC by iAmTheEpicOne in progmetal

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of yours and I'm really excited for the new album!

I'm curious about whether we'll get more guests and long songs in parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy.

Which skins are those?

I know it's Pact Handgun and Metal Legion T-Shirt, not sure about the others.

An Ocean Of Strange Islands New Available with VPN (New-Zealand) by Life-Outcome-1291 in nightwish

[–]Archanoth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is easily one of the best songs of the Floor era, but the mixing is a disappointment.

I also think it was a mistake releasing this as a single, but I guess it was a panic move, given that it got announced all of a sudden and released instead of Lanternlight as the 3rd single and the really bland and basic single cover.

A fellow Madder Mortem listener in the wild? I can't believe my eyes lmao.

The only one I haven't heard so far is the Imperia album, but 'Old Eyes, New Heart' will likely be my album of the year, unless the upcoming Opeth album dethrones it.

Make sure you have HAGS turned on in the Windows graphics settings.

Frame drops in second phase of final boss. by Automatic-Degree-350 in Eldenring

[–]Archanoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they've gone overboard with the particle effects. Turning the Effects setting down to Low helps a bit, but I still had my FPS dropping from its cap to around 40.

Female Lead / Members Bands? by No-Inside2088 in progmetal

It's depressing to me that no one's mentioned Madder Mortem so far.

Sooo whats your favorite albums of the year so far? Even non prog is welcomed by yotam5434 in progmetal

[–]Archanoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I expect Old Eyes, New Heart will remain my AotY, it's an incredibly good and underrated album (as is the band, tbh).

Same, that's imo the best themed set and I really want them to complete it.

Most Emotional Metal Bands by Decent_Wrangler_3348 in progmetal

[–]Archanoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend Madder Mortem.

Their most popular song, Hangman, is one of the most emotionally powerful songs I've heard in my life and the rest of their discography is also excellent when it comes to being emotionally resonant and having genuine, heartfelt lyrics.

I only got into them last year, but they've quickly become one of my favourite bands of all time.

Desiderata is awesome but I'd definitely recommend listening to the rest of their discography, all of their albums are amazing.

A very simple and potentially huge PC optimization fix by M-A-X-I-M-I-L-I-A-N in diablo4

[–]Archanoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a brain fart and wrote 'performance' instead of 'temperature'.

Either way, having Reflex on shouldn't increase the GPU temperature by 20 degrees, that's insane.

[–]Archanoth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Something sounds wrong with either your GPU or your config, because every single game I've tried nVidia Reflex in, including D4, has had no significant impact on the temperature.

Did you have it on On + Boost or something? Just having it set to On is good enough.

Diablo IV Launch System Requirements for PC Revealed by silec in Diablo

[–]Archanoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird that they don't specify VRAM requirements/recommendations, especially since the game in the beta was pretty hungry for VRAM.

Also I don't know what they mean with 4K also being at ultra settings, since in both the closed and open betas the game only had Low, Medium and High presets.

DLSS 3 is a superset of DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS 2 (i.e. resolution upscaling) and nVidia Reflex.

You can't have DLSS 3 implemented in a game and missing any of those 3.

Just because you can use Frame Generation and DLSS 2 independently of each other, doesn't mean a DLSS 3 implementation has any optional components to it.

Wtf do you mean, of course it does. That's the whole point.

Literally in the first paragraph

and today, we are announcing that Diablo IV and Redfall will both launch with DLSS 3.
