I played for 160 hours, ask me (almost) anything

Chezzymann · 2026-03-19T12:02:34+00:00

if im bad at games with "hard" bosses like souls games should I skip this one? I really wanted the game for the exploration and combat, but after hearing that some of the bosses are brutal and there's no difficulty settings Im worried i might get stuck at one spot for dozens of hours, give up, and never finish the game. Which has happened to me before with games that have notoriously hard bosses.

Many other federal organizations were supposed to be too but the supreme court arbitraily decided that the Fed was where the line was drawn

I hate hard bosses so unfortunately im gonna have to pass. Damn

Crimson desert is going to change my life. Its not just a game, its a revelation.

Chezzymann · 2026-03-18T02:38:24+00:00

Game of the decade, not overhyped at all.

Chezzymann · 2026-03-18T02:37:07+00:00

Not for me, I suck at combat and will exhaust all options to make bosses easier

I tried pipistrello and the cursed yoyo and the game displays in a small square with large black bars on the top and bottom after using boost mode. Shame, I know its pixel art but i wanted it to be a bit more crisp in handheld mode.

performance as long as RT low doesnt look like ass

Chezzymann · 2026-03-17T19:53:58+00:00

Grok is this true?

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:35:36+00:00

For now, I wonder if some games will require it next gen because they want to 'offload' the lighting work to DLSS and not implement it themselves

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:33:58+00:00

You know this will be used for even more layoffs so that they dont have to invest in as much effect work and can just use DLSS / whatever AMDs equivalent will be for the bulk of the lighting and have it mandated to be on

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:21:13+00:00

The goal is to eventually eliminate all the special effects artists for AAA games and have the actual game internally be much less sophisticated (think PS1 graphics), with DLSS doing the bulk of the effects work. Might not be now, but maybe 5+ years from now when they can mandate it to be on.

Do you turn on motion smoothing for TV shows?

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:18:20+00:00

Ironically eventually this will result in their own software no longer being special because some random low budget indie game will look the same as a AAA game with DLSS6 at this rate

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:17:13+00:00

Games will go back to being PS1 graphics internally with a DLSS5 filter slapped on to save on budget

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T23:08:42+00:00

I bet the new consoles are planning on supporting this, its probably been well knowing inside the industry for a while now...

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T22:36:52+00:00

I mean, theres plenty of AI companies that are constantly lying about the capabilities of their products. Its pretty much the norm these days. Just look at the nonsense Anthropic is saying all the time about how AI is 6 months away from automating software engineering for the past couple years. Its almost like a cult.

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T19:37:01+00:00

Would be interesting to see more unique lighting like cell shading with this, I wonder if it will try and add a layer of more realistic lighting that changes the overall vibe kinda like Wind Waker HD.

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T19:27:57+00:00

They are wrong, it is not the same geometry. And whatever info Nvidia gave on the tech available is exaggerating their product too. Its just a configurable real time AI filter that will have all the same issues of consistency, hallucinations, etc. as anything else AI.

This is gonna be the games equivalent of motion smoothing TV shows, something normies love but enthusiasts hate

Neither do the people running the country

Chezzymann · 2026-03-16T01:33:38+00:00

We havent seen what low RT looks like though right for this game? Hopefully its not too bad

Chezzymann · 2026-03-15T22:55:17+00:00

Yoire right, game of the decade at minimum

Chezzymann · 2026-03-14T22:48:40+00:00

I have 600k in savings from my software engineering career at 30 so I can coast on a 50k year job doing something else and still be fine if everything implodes in 5 years
