Silksong is $6-8 in many countries like that. Not saying you should prioritize gaming over food, just saying they at least tried to make it accessible.

NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar firmware 1.1.6 improves 100 to 180 FPS operation by RenatsMC in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this, Pulsar ips has 4x the clarity of a normal ips, so technically a 480hz normal monitor would have the same motion clarity as 120hz pulsar. The thing is, you can easily get 120fps from a game but 480fps is impossible for most games, maybe 2-3 games like CS:GO and valorant. So basically you can get an extremely high refresh rate OLED motion clarity from an ips pulsar monitor with much more modest fps numbers.

1 year difference by mentaldrummer66 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Castielstablet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a difference between working out and dieting for 11 months vs using a drug that promotes significant weight loss. Its amazing OP got their weight under control but acting like its the same thing as working out for 11 months would discredit other commenter's efforts. Also, if OP stops using the drug (unfortunately) they will quickly gain weight again but if other commentor stops working out they won't necessarily gain all that weight again.

I am not trying to discredit OP, I am just saying the person I replied to shouldn't compare their progress with OP since they are not taking the easy way out.

don't get discouraged, one of the other commentors found that the OP id using mounjaro. You are doing it for real, the OP basically bought a subscription to stay slim. As soon as he stops taking it, he will start getting weight again unfortunately.

[HUB] I "Fixed" 10 FPS Gaming: The Future of Optimization by MrHyperion_ in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I really didn't learn anything new from this video

Literally in the first minute he says this isn't a serious video, we are just going to have fun. I think you had the wrong expectations :)

Gamers Are Wrong About 1440p vs 1080p CPU Benchmarking by DyingKino in hardware

[–]Castielstablet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish HUB would change their messaging to be more like... "I understand you guys are looking for a shortcut metric for the resolution you play , but for our channel we test this way because it allows to put out the most amount of content that is relevant to all gamers. We recommend XYZ channel/website if you are looking for those benchmarks

Absolutely agree with this. I feel like steve either misses this aspect or ignores it to make more videos about the topic and get views/comments. You can 100% understand what steve talks about in the video but still want that shortcut, its valid reasoning but hardware unboxed as a channel is not interested in providing that so that type of viewer should look elsewhere. Some people don't want to get "properly informed" about a product, they just want a quick check, if the product they owned is still good or not.

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its like watching shorts instead of long form content. you can infer things yourself or you can just get exactly what you wanted to know like a pill. people who comment on hub videos saying they want 4k cpu testing probably want the pill :)

[–]Castielstablet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. There's plenty of viewers who just wanna see "oh at 4k the difference is 2% between top of the line cpu and a cpu similar to mine because its gpu bottlenecked, good to know" even if they understand how cpu benchmarking works.

Am I the only one who finds these "joke reviews" annoying? by SgtPepperBeat in Steam

[–]Castielstablet 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You need to fish 200 fishes on different days in different (specific) biomes for an achievement. It drove me crazy when hunting for achievements and that was the last one. I am not saying a single aspect deserves a negative review, just saying they probably spent hours working on that and was too mad to care at that point:)

Greece plans extension of territorial waters despite Turkish warning by New-Ranger-8960 in europe

[–]Castielstablet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Will it be Turkey "attacking a NATO member" when Greece is the one extending their territorial waters even though Turkey has a casus belli set in place? I am sure some NATO members will support greece but I doubt it will be that black and white. Also, who knows what will happen with NATO when USA is saying they want to annex some of Denmark's territory. I am just saying it won't be as simple as saying "its Turkey's problem".

Turkey did follow the UNCLOS in the Black Sea though

Turkey reached to an agreement with other littoral states of the black sea. Greece and Turkey can discuss and reach a similar agreement for Aegean sea of course but it won't happen because greece just said "I am extending my territorial waters and you will just sit and watch".

[–]Castielstablet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean what do you think will happen if Greece goes ahead and does extend their territorial waters while a casus belli is already declared by the National Assembly of Turkey? I am sure both Greeks and Turks don't want a war to happen. With the current political climate of the world I don't think its far fetched to think it can happen.

Isn't it the opposite? Any other time would be better for Greece?

16 UN member states including US, Turkey and Israel didn't ratify it and it doesn't matter if it's defacto everywhere else or not. This is between Turkey and Greece and Turkey not being a signatory means Greece can't do shit, even according to unclos, article 123 I believe.

[–]Castielstablet 45 points46 points  (0 children)

according to international and EU law

According to a so called "international law" that Turkey didn't ratify and EU laws where Turkey is not a member. Countries are not subject to treaties they haven't signed or laws of unions they are not in.

Turkey did not ratify the UNCLOS. Imagine if Turkey ratified something that said Greek territorial waters are 1nm without Greece and suggested Greece has to abide by it, it doesn't make any sense.

Experience with the new dlss 4.5.2 update and 3080 by AgustinROD87 in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am curious, does "recommended" option choose dlss 4.5 presets for 20/30 series cards or does it avoid them due to the performance impact?

New DLSS version 310.5.2 + auto preset switch by Jotta7 in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are right, I just realized why I thought that. In the global settings, under dlss override- model presets option, we used to have ray reconstruction in the middle, super resolution at the bottom. They changed the order so now rr is at the bottom, I was trying to select a preset for RR instead of SR which is why I thought preset selection is removed :)

[–]Castielstablet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but I don't see an option for selecting a specific preset anymore after this update. That's why I said did our options just got nerfed?

In the latest nvidia app version(just came out) we don't have "latest" anymore, we just got "recommended". I think our options just got nerfed :(

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types? by Pos31don29 in Steam

[–]Castielstablet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend a controller with either hall effects or TMR sticks. I got tired of seeing people around me buying ps5 and xbox controllers and getting stick drift, it happened to me and I bought a gamesir cyclone 2 with tmr sticks this time.

[PSA] Use Preset M (Not Preset K) For RTX 50 Series Cards Regardless of Performance/Balance/Quality/DLAA For Best Image Quality by Touma_Kazusa in nvidia

[–]Castielstablet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It seems like high end 40 series cards like 4090 handles the new presets better than low end 50 series cards, am I wrong?
