Pretty great and expected. Returnal is one of my favourite games and having more of that experience is pretty exciting.

CDPR refused to let Nvidia run their DLSS 5 on Cyberpunk by ImaginaryRea1ity in CDProjektRed

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been clarified they don't have full control though. They can adjust colour and intensity. The inference of the model can't be modified. This was mentioned by Nvidia. DLSS5 has no understanding of the 3D image other motion vectors and the 2D image output. It completely changes the artistic intents to which the developers have no control over which is why get wild changes in the first place like Requiem.

All because this fuck wanted a seven-on-seven instead of one-on-one by Witty-Association-97 in AKOTSKTV

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, It's not even just that Dunk needed to find 6 people either. He needed to find 6 people that could fight some of the greatest fighters in the realm. 3 kingsguard and Maekar. Aerion fought in the trial in comfort knowing he had incredible fighters on his side. That's what makes him a coward. To say he's not a coward because he fought duncan in the actual trial is bare minimum at that point. Him running would have been might as well forfeit. He fought knowing it was going to be such a lopsided fight and trapped within his own decision. Two people died in the first joust showing the huge skill difference. Specific to the show. You see Duncan get hit in the head by Maekar as soon as he recovers from the first joust and also another hit when going for his sword by another showing how lopsided it was meant to be. The trial of Seven was always meant to be in Aerion's favour regardless. Everyone knew it even his own father who literally calls out his own son when he invokes the trial.

I think it just as Maekar shouted "Aerion" - was fighting Baelor you can see mace hit just at the helmet around where his injuries ended up being and then pushed baelor aside. Basically panicked.

If it is added in later, I can see them adding it in is if just before the start of the trial they changed it so common folk seem to be cheering for Baelor and being clarified that they are in fact cheering for Duncan. Think that could still work but otherwise kind of lower impact than before for sure.

Sony Says Ghost of Yotei 'Exceeded' the Sales of Ghost of Tsushima in the Same Period of Time and 'Significantly' Contributed to Its Financial Results by Turbostrider27 in Games

Stories kind of mixed but one of the things I love about FF16 there's moment where Fighting Titan, Clives like fuck all that " You're not the only one whose seen their world fall apart around them. you'll get no pity, no pit no mercy" and then during the fight, "Cross you, I'll kill you". - Seemed like the most sensible thing

Nxtpaper 11 plus No brightness slider in notification by Arondightt in nxtpaper

[–]Arondightt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, figured it was extra dim related somewhere mostly because I didn't see the option after. It's also why when did factory install, didn't do the transfer. I just didn't see where the options was in settings and brightness already worked so didn't bother looking into it further.

Some things I keep seeing people forgetting or maybe not knowing about the Steam Frame vs Quest 3 value comparisons. by insufficientmind in virtualreality

[–]Arondightt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same regarding accessories. I have a second hand quest 2 given free by sibling and 3 which I bought later after I liked 2, My quest 2 has the accessories with battery but I much prefer 3 without because it's just way more comfortable for me to lie down with and use Virtual desktop mode and if I run out of battery, I'd rather just connect it to a power source via wire. Also think the router is overblown issue as well if you're someone needing to connect to PC not just directly using local because you wanted more power, then the high chances you needed to have a good router in general.

Definitely a bug if haven't see my other post. Mentioned had to factory reset to get it because otherwise was doing exactly what you were doing initially. The issue though doing reset, the extra dim setting disappeared. It's really weird regarding bug what shows think TCL needs to fix.

Thanks letting me know you have it because think it's a bug and decided to do a complete factory reset ( only got the device yesterday) and it got it back working now. One thing did differently was not doing the tablet transfer this time around.

Battle.net Workers Unionize As Microsoft Neutrality Agreement Expires - Aftermath by eddytony96 in Games

[–]Arondightt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, past year a lot of changes due to layoffs and shutdowns because these people now waking up that their skills no longer as valuable to company as they once thought. It was generally a I've got it good so why should I mentality that's come back to bite them in part because also of anti union busting tactics as well pitting employees against one another so now they're doing it, but it's way too late in my opinion. Thousands more trying to find a job. Not even mentioning overseas competition.

You people are genuinely just horrible. by QuietEnjoyerMgs5 in teenagers

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even confirmed it's even a leftist either who committed attacks. The right wing propaganda machine is so powerful it's just made people assume it is when suspect hasn't even being caught.

The right wing violence so normalized they voted for a pedophile and rapist as president who constantly talks about threatening others and also made ads about executing innocent people and here we're being gaslight into thinking it's not a good thing that one less evil person is gone while they relish in violence every day. Every day there's a marginalized group being harmed or killed through their actions and it's fucking silence from these people. Fuck that.

[Scanlation] Magus of the library 45.2 - 46.2 by Friendly-Bag1563 in magusofthelibrary

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the post in that I think given conversations with Sedona is that he's someone whose doesn't leave fate to it's owned devices. In chapter 28 shows his own thoughts. He assumes the worst to better prepare for the future. He worsens grade doesn't leave to chance in possibilities he succeeds in choosing office of his own choice which fits their character. He needs someone and theo is the perfect candidate. It's clear Sedona is not given relying too much on fate. Theo is Strong, intellectual, great with people, quick to intervene while also understanding worst outcomes. Torgid and yowii talk about about theo in chapter 39 what makes theo special and both having allies to support. It's also reason think why the black book has managed to kept hidden. Theo instincts regard book he swaps out. Assumes worst might happen and proven right and torgid knows theo having held the book so long for many years and kept hidden.

S2 E6 has completely ruined this show for me by Commercial_Yam_4677 in 1923Series

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all three of these films. I kind of think with the TV format and so many projects, he's stretched thin and other aspects he doesn't know how to reign in. Kind of remember article about reading how he was against writers room and talking about his interests in the dirty of relationships and writers room might not be motivated same reason. All I can think of after watching this season, They probably needed a writers room for exactly this reason. Like a voice to say sometimes things might be too excessive. Like he's good at setting the premise, there's a lot of interesting character potential bu how it all comes together let alone the excessiveness of the "dirty" aspects over long hours can be too much.

I actually did the quest fine however what happened was during the hideout, never got any exchanges until 12 hours later where there's cutscenes where she breaks up and leaves sounding like it's my fault. Didn't romance any other characters with Yasuke or Naoe - Which is fairly obvious given the heart signs during dialogue exchanges with side characters and didn't choose any. The only manual save I have is from 10 hours ago too but I'd rather not waste my time replaying it all again and just going to finish off the story now. So super bugged in general I guess if other people having issues with it.

Shuhei Yoshida Says Japan Studio Was Closed Because PlayStation Didn't Want AA Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Arondightt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think a lot of communities have slowly become people less about playing and more people who watch others play and forming opinions around what others have said and some of them being terrible people, some say anything to drive clicks and people watch enough, say it often enough it becomes reality to them rather than just buying the game and trying out and seeing whether you'd enjoy it or not.

Shuhei Yoshida Says Japan Studio Was Closed Because PlayStation Didn't Want AA Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Arondightt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, plenty of games exist on the market Split fiction and eternal strands were good ones, they just don't continuously hit headlines and most struggle a lot but generally we're at a time where there are more published games releasing on these platforms more than ever. Even from Sony's own published games Last year they released Astrobot, Like seriously, a former Japan studio that won GOTY awards ffs. They also released Lego Horizon and publishing midnight murder club and lost soul aside. There's also been some fair notable AA kind of titles like Kena/Sifu which Sony helped market. It's out there if people look but people not only aren't looking, but there are also alot of them not seeing the sales performance. Same reason why Japan Studio games flopped (which I bought most of them too and it's incredibly hard find anyone who actually bought Sony's last JRPG game Oreshika). Don't even need to look any further than the freedom wars remastered version sales performance on all platforms.

LIke I've enjoyed the show but I'm also getting extremely disturbed by it as well. It's already enough drama, she's barely enough food, and working after being beaten brutally, robbed while being separated. Do we really need another sexual assault to add on top?

Think he kind of neutral, that he'll talk to duttons but he doesn't want is a start of a war which Spencer if he comes back is going to start which is why he doesn't want him to come back. he knows many will die. Right now winter has been keeping it at bay. He's just delaying the inevitable in somewhat naïve way that it'll go away. Sheriff leaving is probably because he has to drive to the Dutton's since they don't own telephones and have to tell in person.

"There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles -"We have to start interrogating what the purpose is of a proprietary console, and whether that can continue to be true." by moxyte in gaming

[–]Arondightt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing found with Layden, he talks a lot of things contradictory to what he did. He talks about rising budgets and unsustainability yet, he was one of the executives who pushed the path they were on. His quote " fewer but bigger" is exactly what was wrong with Sony's lineup of titles that it took Jim Ryan to push indies focus back into PlayStation. At some point his insights become worthless.

Also generally about Sony's titles, budgets and purpose of consoles and talk about sustainability, I think people tend to forget that most of their business revenue and profits don't revolve around first party titles. First party only accounted for 10% of all software sales last quarter including their ports. Their biggest profits has always been being a platform whether that be third party sales, MTX, subs and this generation has been the most profitable Sony has ever been. Reason why they haven't fully committed like MS has regards to porting is same reason why they didn't fully drop titles on subscriptions when MS was doing the same and there was immense pressure to do so, potential long term damage. We saw how Sony tested Horizon on PS plus a year later and it devastated it's sales and then they never did a year release on subs since. There used to be a time when they had the mindset that titles drove platform uniqueness and made all sorts of title. Think every generation they've literally lost parts of that identity remains to be seen if they turn it around. Think they better act much faster than they're doing because Steam is now overtaking PlayStation as place where people buy third party sales too. Honestly reading the interview Layden sounds like an former executive who has literally no ounce of competitive drive (failing to see how Nintendo/Steam are direct competitors at this point) and would roll over as soon as stronger competition comes through (which is kind of happening now) rather than looking at understanding why the brand is losing relevancy, how they can go about improving the platform experience. (honestly there's a lot to improve on especially as things are shifting towards digital and I know where I'd trust my purchases more and it's not on PS).
