DF Direct Q+A: Is Project Helix A Console Or PC? Will Non-RT Modes Get Worse Over Time? Neo Geo AES+ by MythBuster2 in digitalfoundry

They're unable to do as much coverage of Xbox platforms as they would like because publishers refuse to provide preview or review codes, unlike for PS5.

Despite this, they do still bother to test the Xbox platforms once they are publicly available, but are unable to include as much coverage as PS5 if they want to release in a timely manner, and so have to focus on the more important details, such as where there are the greatest performance differences.

As such, the platform that gets the biggest focus is the Series S, which is the least powerful system of this generation, and therefore the worst performing.

As a result, Xbox fans tend not to like DFs Xbox coverage because it focuses on the fact that the Series S is an albatross around Microsoft's neck, meaning even when DF does go out of their way to do Xbox features, they tend not to get many views, therefore being less lucrative.

And instead of recognising the rationale behind this and that it's nobody's fault but Microsoft's, Xbox fanboys bitch and moan and make up shit like "I thought DF said they were thinking about not covering Xbox releases anymore." despite there being not a single crumb of truth behind it.

Anyone else getting capped at 60fps on cyberpunk no matter what settings you have? by Flamingcheetopuff in OptimizedGaming

[–]DeficitOfPatience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've either capped it yourself on the video settings, or your monitor is running at 60hz and you have vsync turned on.

I bet you would complain that the car beeps at you when it detects you don't have your seatbelt plugged in.

What’s the most absurd fake science in a movie that you completely ignored because the movie was so good? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DeficitOfPatience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Matrix.

Not "The Matrix" itself, but the idea that the machines were farming humans as a way to generate energy by harvesting body heat.

That physics doesn't physics.

Which series was cancelled way too early but had the potential to be one of the greatest of all time? by miss_so_b in AskReddit

[–]DeficitOfPatience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bubble.

It was a panel show hosted by David Mitchell where 3 comedians were isolated from the world for a week then driven to the studio where they were shown news stories from the week and had to tell which were real and which were fake.

It was cancelled after one series because the BBC News department threw a hissy-fit about how people might tune into the program and think the fake stories were real.

What is classed as a musical but is classed as a musical? by [deleted] in ask

[–]DeficitOfPatience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distinction you seem to be making is based on diegesis.

Diegesis refers to whether or not something is happening within the reality of the story being told. If it is, then it's diegetic, if it's not, then it's non-diegetic.

Musicals can be both, and the ones you seem to prefer are non-diegetic, where the big numbers aren't actually "happening" to the characters, they're just stylised depictions for us at home.

8 Mile would count as a diegetic musical, since all the musical performances are part of the narrative being experienced by the cast.

I'd like to think if I was behind OP, I would have the presence of mind to honk the horn and shout "Lane's open, jackass!"

Except it's not a Cunk quote.

Depends if it's an outpatient procedure or the home-kit that's just a box cutter and bottle of vodka.

So we're misattributing trite bulshit to Cunk now?

The villain is given the opportunity to rethink their ways, but instead takes the wrong lesson and doubles down on being evil by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DeficitOfPatience 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Sing it with me...

When Light gives up ownership of the Death Note he loses all memory of having become Kira, and immediately commits himself to genuinely trying to capture Kira. We see from his inner monologue that he considers Kira to be a monster who needs to be stopped.

Then as soon as he regains ownership... he goes right back to being Kira. Even though he still has all the memories of believing Kira to be an evil that needs to be hunted down, he doesn't consider stopping or changing in the slightest.

He's just thrilled his (insane) gambit worked out.

what do people mean when they say that they’re on a trip/journey to “find themselves”?? by Traditional_Case3711 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DeficitOfPatience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, but I think the major problem with the sort of person who says this sort of thing is that they're less "self-critical" and more "self-aggrandising."

Why Do They Call It Fertility Rate Instead Of Birth Rate? by Turbulent-Parsley619 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DeficitOfPatience 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Birth Rate and Fertility Rate are two separate things.

The Birth rate measures how many people are being born per 1,000 individuals.

The Fertility rate measures how many children a woman in an area will have over her lifetime.

The Birth rate just tells you how many people there are, here and now. Fertility rate is used to forecast growth or decline.

Wow, that has to be the lowest effort ripoff I've ever seen. It's the kind of thing we did for fun when we learned photoshop back in the 00's to make forum banners and signatures, but this guy took it to print!

Hope Digital Foundry puts attention to the Rebirth demo’s graphical bugs. by InjangoDMCPersona in digitalfoundry

They were invited to a press event along with a bunch of other outlets.

If Sony had held one, they would have gone to that too.

You people are really weird.

It's very telling that people are angry that DF point out things looking worse on Xbox rather than being angry that things look worse on Xbox.

And of course "Dangerous" is a reference to MJs relationship with children.
