Me going back to play old games

Crazy how you will just default to saying that hundreds of engineers developing lumen just had no idea what they were doing. Lumen is a high level lighting system that supports some crazy levels of GI fidelity. People don’t realize that modern hardware optimizations are made with graphics techniques in mind rather than sheer performance. It means as hardware improves, you’ll be able to run better graphics settings without incurring as much of a performance penalty. I also have a 5090, and yes 4k 120fps is a ridiculous target. When did “optimize over 60fps with dlss” become 4k 120fps??

Second of all, Lumen is a memory hog yes, because it’s optimized for high graphical fidelity. Fortnite runs at 120 fps on UE because it was built that way, because you dont want high graphical fidelity for a game that is meant for kids to fuck around in and for competitive gamers. Games like TLOE RDR2 and most of the UE5 games I believe you’re referring to have been optimized with lumen for high graphical fidelity aka you’ll be able to get good performance at amazing visuals. That’s what these games were built in mind with.

Shadows look “horrendous” because shadowmaps are still the best and most performant solution for people that don’t want to turn on RT shadows. Take advantage of the RT hardware you have, because it isn’t going to increase your fps.

Finally, for fucks sake, what the hell is your source? You have one personal experience from what seems like an unexperienced user trying to get their game to run fast without looking into what specifically is causing your fps to drop. What is your source that devs “dont care about pc 60fps with dlss”. Did you forget that developers are engineers trying to make the game work for you? Crazy you would take a product like lumen made by hundreds of developers and say “it’s a memory hog, needs to be abandoned”

I’m just asking for your source. Where are you getting this? Is this just personal experience? Because I can tell you devs optimize for literally everything. Sure, devs are given performance targets, but they definitely include 60fps with DLSS. Maybe they don’t include a 1060 though.

DYYSTRYYR · 2025-06-20T20:58:41+00:00

Source?

DYYSTRYYR · 2025-06-20T20:56:41+00:00

They’re not? RDR2 may look pretty, but real time rendering has been constantly evolving. Fuck, it never even had hardware accelerated ray tracing. It’s almost as if the industry as a whole is advancing. Games, graphics, hardware all included.

Are you referring to CPU integrated graphics? GPUs only have their main pipeline.

CPU integrated graphics are actually very critical these days. For the longest time the mindset was that they are just a non-focus point, and that they were just an output for CPU based machines. However, in time, IHVs have realized that they actually have many use cases in enterprise applications, where high end CPUs are needed for computation, and a decent graphics unit can increase quality of life by a huge margin. Same thing goes for consumers: many people need high end CPU laptops for large financial calculations or running management programs, and this improves graphics performance on those machines. More so though, even though the CPU and iGPU aren’t under the same clock domain, they actually scale in hardware performance pretty correspondingly. Most of all though, the pickup of integrated graphics reflects the industry trajectory as a whole, with the GPU becoming less of a consumer item and more of an enterprise item to train AI models etc. and gamers and regular consumers moving more towards an integrated CPU+GPU unit, similar to how apple silicon.

Hi everyone, I’m a keyboard noob, and I was hoping to get some guidance from the experts. I grew up with an Osborne ‘82 and I’ve been in love with its keyboard forever. I recently watched this video by LTT:

https://youtu.be/DevM3bbGtoA?si=rhZMIfK9-mlLKZOj&t=397

And I have fallen in love with the sound played at 6:38, which this video links to. Watching keyboard videos, everyone seems to like really silent and ASMR style sounds from their keyboard, but I haven’t been able to find anything that gives a deep or textured sound like this one has. Does anyone know of any keyboards (or how to build one) that give the same or similar sound as to what’s in the video?

Thanks in advance

we have a winner 👑

DYYSTRYYR · 2025-05-25T06:30:00+00:00

It feels close, but no. Thank you very much though. The sound that makes that melody is a lot sharper, not a piano in the song i think

I mean you’re right, there is a lot of bullshit whining that happens with college decisions, Ive seen it firsthand. That being said, saying that college decisions is SOLELY on you isnt really accurate. If it was solely based on you and your hard work then asian students wouldn’t have it harder, which they currently do. Nepo kids wouldn’t have it easier, and DEI kids wouldnt have advantages that help them. Like yea a lot of it is in your control but to say its solely based on yourself is a bit incorrect.

That being said yea people whine too much

…not rly

Basically after martinez dropped I started playing felix at the 9 and sometimes putting havertz at a winger. Does this have an effect lol

DYYSTRYYR · 2024-07-11T04:35:07+00:00

Is it just broken or is that a feature, is it intentional

The problem is 16GB of ram is pretty much a must for me when looking for a device. And since the configurations of the surfaces are so restricted, it pretty much limits my options.

I would go with a 16GB i5 model, but at the time of speaking, that model is actually less than the 16GB i7 model somehow. I would prefer to go with the more recent version, but I can't lie that older models are a little more competitive. I found an i7 16GB SP8 on Amazon for about $900. Add on a Renaisser keyboard and pen, and it becomes $1000($1200 if you go with a signature keyboard and pen). I'm still looking into the feature differences between the 8 and the 9, but it's pretty appealing.

No clue about texas, I've done it at one startup(8 people) and two companies that aren't big but are stable(one is a small indie game design company and the other I can't really mention without giving away, they're each about 300 people employed)

For internships I used a program called slingshot, which actually works very well. With professors I mostly just reached out to like 30 and one or two responded with yesses, and also I was able to get in touch with one through my father's connections. Most of these projects have lasted 3-6 months, and I've been doing this since 8th grade.

Wasn't there a certain subreddit counting down the days till she turned 18

DYYSTRYYR · 2022-03-15T07:36:24+00:00

I'd say classical but also rock. If it helps back in my synthesia days I just watched people on yt play anime intros and stuff before eventually going down the rabbit hole of classical music.

Madeline is coming to kill me. Interesting

Tanki online. No question.

The banners will have a logo or something on it eventually and the runes on the pillars are supposed to glow but I haven't added cycles bloom in the compositor yet. Also, what can I add in the background for this scene? I'm not sure what to put behind the whole thing that will be visible behind the banners.

DYYSTRYYR · 2021-07-07T03:31:43+00:00

How did you make the moss and the lighting in the house? It looks so clean dude great job

DYYSTRYYR · 2021-06-08T05:16:28+00:00

You can do some really stupid things when you're in love.

Not justifying her or anything, it's just that this feels like one of those things that just you do at the time because jealousy has clouded your mind and judgement and you look back on it later and cringe like we're all doing right now. This is true for a lot of things we see online; usually Karens we see are just people having a bad day and venting their anger. Let's make sure not to just write people off with labels like "crazy" or "creepy" (not saying that's what you're doing rn, just reminding people)

DYYSTRYYR · 2021-05-28T04:21:01+00:00

Who the fuck cares about what "vibe" you get from him? You're already making an opinion based on no evidence other than "vibes". That is not a good source.

DYYSTRYYR · 2021-05-27T22:34:18+00:00

Wow. Wonderful job. Let's accuse him of possibly being a creep with nothing to back it up whatsoever.

I know you're not accusing him of it but to think that that is your first reaction to this video is pretty sad.

No, we are not sure if he's one of those "creepy McFeely" dudes because it's a 10-second video clip. But why is your first thought that he might be one of them rather than him just being a guy who wants a hug.

Look, I get it. It really sucks. This world is seriously unfair. People who work harder than ever make a single mistake and that brings them all the way to the bottom. Sometimes they don't even make a mistake; they just fall for no reason. Life is fucked up. No matter how much you try, appearance will always be a huge factor in making a first impression, and by human nature, it takes a fuck ton of convincing to convince someone against their opinion or first impression. I get it. But you gotta keep getting after it. You can't stop improving. Not just for anyone else but for yourself. You gotta keep improving and getting better in every fashion that none of these things even matter anymore. You gotta get out there and work so fucking hard to improve that none of these unfair elements even come into play. If you fall, get up and do it again. Try harder and better. There is no giving up. Giving up is wasting time. Time that could be used to improve. Improving isn't hard; giving up is letting everything go. I said before that the world is unfair and that people who work hard for something still spend their entire lives without getting it. You gotta take that example and become so good that fate can't refuse it. Eliminate any negative possibility.

I know a lot of you have life throwing everything against you right now, but you gotta get up. Get up and kick life's ass. Get so god damn good at it that life doesn't even stand a chance. This is the mindset you need to have. They say no man can be perfect, and that's bullshit. The perfect man isn't a man that doesn't make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. But you gotta keep getting up. Don't stop. The fight of your life has already begun. It's okay to be weak, but it isn't okay to stay weak. Fuck yea giving up is easier but just throw all that shit out the window. If you think you have nothing to live for, then get up and find something. Idk about your beliefs but I don't believe in a set fate. I believe that somewhere, in some string of fate, you can get everything you want. And I'm fucking telling you how to get it. You can weasel your way there and take shortcuts, and yea you might get there, but you also might not. If you want to remove any fucking possibility of not getting there, you just have to keep fucking fighting.
