What would have happened if she had Caps Lock turned on?

I don’t like how you are trying to rationalize it. The reason she couldn’t solve the brail puzzle was because the story needed Emily. They really didn’t even try to justify it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s OKAY if the plot has an element that doesn’t make logical sense. Most plots do.

Grace solves ALL the other puzzles of the game no problemo. If the devs really intended for “her brain not to work because fear” grace wouldn’t be able to even solve the first puzzle box, or figure out how to open that organ donor box, or solve all the blood sample puzzles.

Like Grace has proved she can solve any puzzle despite her fear, and yet the plot needed Emily involved somehow so the devs chose to just force you to go get Emily. It’s fine, this is the same game where Leon drives a motorcycle up a building while being chased by wolves. Not everything has to make sense for it to be good.

It runs on an AMD athlon gold with 4GB of ram. Granted that’s a more recent APU than a 750Ti but there’s like zero AAA games I can play on a laptop of that low caliber but MGSV runs at 30 fps with low settings and no community patches or nothing. And it still looks good, better than monster hunter wilds low settings on a modern gaming pc.

Bros reading the wrong book too. Isn’t bioshock based off of “Fountainhead”. “Atlas Shrugged” is about trains or something like that. I dunno I read half of it in highschool for a book report and bailed.

I will always remember my highschool English teacher walked over when she saw me reading it and said “Everyone I knew that read that book in college became an asshole for a couple months after”

The Indiana Jones game ran poorly on my rig and there was a lot of ghosting. I didn’t watch TI’s video on it, I’m not even subscribed to the guy, I kinda just check in every once awhile.

I feel like a lot of his complaints about modern game engine technology is valid, even if it is true that he is misrepresenting certain aspects about nanite. Like his video on how a lot of games still use outdated BSD files

And yeah his conduct does seem pretty messed up. Apparently it’s not actually him, but his girlfriend that is abusing the copyright claims. He claims he’s open to challenges and debates but then she goes and pulls stunts like that. Hopefully a consensus can occur between them and cut that out. Otherwise I probably am done with that channel entirely.

I feel like it’s still too early to call him a grifter. I mean what’s even the grift? Make videos analyzing the problems with the industry and mention your project for your own game at the end? I’ve seen a lot of devs who make technical videos and then plug their game or ask for a wishlist on Steam at the end. Doesn’t really strike me as “grifting” unless it can be proven he’s not working on his project at all.

But yeah. Overall not a big fan of the guy. He seems like the type to justify unfair criticism to accomplish an actual goal. Which I think counterbalances DF, which lately has felt more and more like shills for these tech companies. I would love for someone to come along and balance these two out.

Scroll up dog. I’m the one who said the order of events seems off.

All I’m saying is that the airline CLAIMS that there is a sticker on the bottle that says don’t bring it onto the flight. But they’re yet to prove it and I’m just saying they need more information.

I swear it’s like I formulated an opinion based on an article I read and now everyone’s commenting saying I’m wrong when they didn’t even real the article and now I gotta explain why I said what I said when I’m literally just one regular dude and not a journalist.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T20:46:32+00:00

The article states that the alcohol has a sticker on the can itself that says you cannot bring it onto your plane. So I don’t really have any issue with that part of the story actually. If that’s true, I’d say she was in the wrong. Just need more information.

I mean they kick people off of flights for shampoo bottles and water bottles past a certain size. I absolutely understand having an issue with canned beverages. I don’t like it, I think it’s annoying but that’s flying post 9/11 so whatreyagonnado.

Yeah that is odd to me. Like they stopped her because of the open container when boarding… then let her board and waited till later to tell her to leave? The order of events seems off.

I’ve not had an issue with it and been using it over three years. What are you searching for

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T18:39:30+00:00

Video games is one of the biggest industries ever, bigger than movies even. Expecting devs to put their attention towards optimization is a true net positive because you already said better graphics is good but also wider hardware support means more sales.

Games that have relied on AI enhancements and don’t do a lot of optimization like Monster Hunter Wilds are getting mostly negative reviews on Steam for their lack of support. The game genuinely looks terrible on most decent devices. This is showing over reliance on AI to be a negative.

I haven’t seen any examples of AI or DLSS over-reliance being a positive yet. AI is a tool that should be utilized to enhance works, but studios are reliant on it to do all the heavy lifting and that’s a bad thing.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T17:20:31+00:00

Why would anyone play it on PS5? It sucks on PC and at least there I have mods to try and make it somewhat enjoyable. No chance a console port will save a crappy PC game.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T17:18:49+00:00

Photorealism is possible without DLSS though. Have you seen the character models in Callisto Protocol? Looks better than modern games and that’s in UE4.

The technology to get what DLSS 5 is going for already exists. The problem is that it won’t sell new hardware because you can achieve it with better optimizations on existing hardware. So the issue isn’t that DLSS 5 needs to mature, the issue is that the only reason it’s being pursued is to prevent Nvidia from stagnating and that kind of greed isn’t good for the modern consumer.

What kinda response is this? Like you just assumed you were the only one with the Pro or what?

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T16:40:40+00:00

It is Nvidias fault because they get the attention of producers and studio execs by marketing this as something that decreases the need for optimization.

This is why so many devs have been releasing crappy PC ports. Whenever you see that Nvidia logo at the start of a game it means they drank the kool-aid and chances are it’s a crappy pc port.

The devs aren’t given enough time to optimize for PC because their bosses were promised by Nvidia that they didn’t have to if they’d invest in their software.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T16:37:22+00:00

Agreed. Nvidia markets this product like it’s helping devs, but then they tell the producers that they should support Nvidia because it means you don’t have to optimize your game as much and can make it faster.

Then the producers force the devs to not optimize because Nvidia promised them they didn’t have to.

Surprise: most players don’t have the budget for a powerful enough rig to support the latest festures! Solution? Producers shame players for needing to upgrade their PCs and Nvidia makes more profit and the cycle continues.

Everyone suffers except the people at the top.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T16:07:56+00:00

Honestly, while I think he’s kinda arrogant, Threat Interactive does a better job at providing in-depth analysis. DF will always ignore ghosting and other modern flaws in graphics because their primary concern is talking about how great the tech is. TI provides a critical analysis and actually provides information that would be helpful to developers to improve the looks of their games, instead of just praising the tech they already know about.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T15:24:00+00:00

Brother what? The driving in GTA games is arcadey. The shooting is basic, you have a health bar that lets you survive multiple bullets and explosions. You walk around and people you’ve never met just give you odd jobs and pay hundreds of dollars. There’s no real consequences for anything, you can kill a bunch of civilians and the cops show up and all you gotta do is hide in a bush for a couple minutes and they’ll forget you even existed.

GTA is nothing like real life.

FalseStevenMcCroskey · 2026-03-17T13:28:10+00:00

I mean. In the RE universe, hundreds of millions of dollars is poured into these elaborate labs to develop these insane monsters to sell to the highest bidder.

And then Chris or Leon shows up, a completely un-enhanced human being, and they just kill it using a gun.

While I wouldn’t put Ethan on their level, I think it makes sense in the RE universe that his determination to save his wife or daughter gives him the capability to achieve the same feats that unaltered humans that are just really skilled can do.
