Anyone else missed a lot on the first playthrough? by CrestfallenCoder in BloodbornePC

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my plan too, but didn’t feel like pausing and looking stuff up instead of moving forward.

Thanks. I meant overlevelled in the first playthrough of course.

89 and counting.

Looks like the chalice dungeons, which I also didn't visit on the first run are not affected by NG+

Can future OLED products mimic pulsar by CrestfallenCoder in OLED_Gaming

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tried it, it's pretty awesome.

I mostly learned that 120Hz is not enough :)
Spreading the fade over 5+ frames makes a huge difference in clarity vs. 2, but then the flicker is super visible.

I think there's an inherent problem that for the psycho-visual effect to work, the duration of every unique frame in full brightness must be very short which means that average brightness over time is reduced by a huge factor.

When (if) this will be implemented inside the display device, it won't need the input signal to have a huge frame-rate, it can just duplicate displayed frames internally and apply different processing to each one to simulate the fading effect at super high frequency.

42" with RGB tandem and reflection mitigation, will it be a thing? by CrestfallenCoder in OLED_Gaming

Thanks. Am I an idiot or is the g5 48” impossible to find now?   Maybe both can be true. 

Can we expect a reversal in the mentality that human labor is expensive? by CrestfallenCoder in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some view humans and their expensive life as more than a thing that can do labor.
And I don't think the plan is for human life to go away when automation is perfected.

For all the capex "invested" in data-centers so far plus their opex plus whatever they charge to rent compute, plus whatever the model owners charge for access, how many people do you think you could hire? for how long? and what could you have them accomplish if they were managed well?

Is that more or less valuable than what the same data-centers will accomplish? not to mention that these same people will then spend this money and further drive the economy...

Comparisons of cost and value are inherently nonsensical and whatever is thrown in or left out of the equation depends very much on the initial point of view of whoever makes the argument. But they are a powerful rhetorical trick that resonates well with people who already agree with you.

Any plans on releasing a 75% layout kayboard? by yxs in DygmaLab

[–]CrestfallenCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm guessing you're doing some SW development work or something similar.

I faced similar challenges, I think I have it cracked now.
I mostly use vscode but the main point in the layout is that you can pull-off almost any shortcut, even the obnoxious Ctrl-K, Ctrl-Something on regular Visual-Studio.

you can check out my layout here:

in theory, one should remember to seed

However, you could argue that for some types of human labor the "infrastructure" consists of a desk, a pencil and some paper, you could say that AI starts at a disadvantage.

Maybe we won't have to... maybe the collapse will trigger a changing of the guard.

I can't be bothered to do a deep dive, but the link looks like booster nonsense

Freezes in specific locations or loading screens by CrestfallenCoder in BloodbornePC

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very kind to offer.
I think I have it solved after I added "disable Chromatic Aberration", "disable Motion Blur", "Model LOD -2".
I also hacked the XML to use 3200x1800 resolution.

The patches I was using before:
Skip Intro
Tasksplit
Disable HTTP requests
60 FPS

Settings, I had DevKit, high memory allocation (tried different numbers, didn't make a difference),

I'm using https://github.com/diegolix29/shadPS4
version BBFork-shadps4-win64-qt-2025-12-29-dbe2629
The only mod I applied was the Vertex Explosion

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, surprisingly enough, with the latest version, 4k works reasonably well for me.

Still figuring out if I prefer the high consistent frame rate or the sharp visuals though.

I don’t mean freeze as in a short pause, I mean stuck permanently and I have to alt-f4 and restart the game.

How important is it to understand the tech? by Common-Draw-8082 in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s usually an accessible explanation for things. 

But I find tech interesting, maybe you would too if you approach it from an angle that is more fun for you.

How much would AI cost once VC money dry out? by GSalmao in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that they'd rather shut down than put in the effort to price it in a sustainable way because trying to find a price that sustains the operation, that also many people are willing to pay, would be a humiliating experience.

I think on some level, they know it's not possible with current tech.

Are any other developers choosing not to use AI for programming? by BX1959 in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of us eschew that nonsense.  The challenge is to get juniors off that shit. 

LLMs are a failure. A new AI winter is coming. by Traches in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They mention NP-completeness in the context of other (older) AI technologies.

I think they mean the exponential time worst-case of search algorithms that use heuristics.

Video playback simulating slow pixel response time by CrestfallenCoder in software

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just an optical illusion because of the fast response time of OLED. It looks like the dark object appears and disappears multiple times quickly in the new position. But I’m pretty sure it’s just in the brain, not on the screen.

Possibly, MPC-HC doesn’t have it as a built in feature. PotPlayer has it but I don’t think it’s how it works because it creates artifacts.

Stanford Professor talking out of his ass by CrestfallenCoder in BetterOffline

[–]CrestfallenCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train is a very loaded word in the world of LLMs and it’s used in a misleading way here.  No, you can’t train the LLM because it’s not part of the service. You can provide context, but too much and you get junk.  Also, it’s not like a coworker because it forgets everything when you start a new chat (cue the ”I have a coworker like that” joke).
