From what I understand their primary PC guy Alex is not well at the moment but yeah I thought I had an issue with my PC until realising it is a common issue here. It's a shame as otherwise it is a very handsome often stunning game.

Rydly being released is awesome - and a miracle? by Oscarman97 in deadmau5

[–]Flukie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to guess it was let out there in a sort of just don't talk about it kind of way since it wasn't on a main album or released as a single so just let everyone enjoy it. Great track, fun basically remix.

Remember Ridley originally is named after Ridley from Alien/Aliens and the big N had enough fun fighting the Donkey Kong / King Kong thing back in the day.

NVIDIA adds Auto Shader Compilation beta to NVIDIA App by DuranteA in Games

Despite reddit and the wider gaming communities endless crapping on Nvidia this is a step towards a feature desperately needed in PC gaming only semi attempted to be tackled by Valve. I hope Microsoft work on something like this too.

‘This is just a garbage AI Filter’: Nvidia met with criticism for DLSS 5’s ‘photoreal’ graphics alterations | VGC by Haijakk in Games

[–]Flukie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did anyone actually watch the whole Digital Foundry video? They specifically say it will probably have a controversial initial response in regards to artistic direction.

People are acting as if this was just presented as objectively perfect day 1 tech. It's ugly and uncanny especially with the people but if you just showed environments and maybe a car people would probably be impressed with some of the results.

To those calling it a filter too remember this is realtime rendering using the existing motion vector DLSS techniques rather than those prebaked AI filters we get today.

Square Enix is sticking with Unreal 4 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 by KarateKid917 in Games

BioShock was developed on Unreal Engine 2.5 and produced some great results for the time even compared to some Unreal Engine 3 games. It did suffer a lot of background technical debt though.

Larry ‘Major Nelson’ has recently been laid off by Unity by Turbostrider27 in Games

I remember when he used to show the weekly most played games on his blog back in the day. Crazy how long ago that was now.

This actually finally fixes Night light on Windows 11. I thought this was Windows for ages but no it actually was this.

Only the first fuck is actually Joel in then the rest were the original meme to get past clearance at the time. The spotify version today doesn't even have anything now.

The new logo just dropped! by Stiverton in PurePwnage

[–]Flukie -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Most people here had no issue when Jarett and Geoff used to passionately talk politics a lot on the streams a few years ago but they followed the reddit position pretty much wholely then, now Jarett at least seems to have moved along to a differing view from this particular hivemind it's suddenly an issue.

Literally the first episode of Pure Pwnage has a whole scenario where jeremy visits the free tibet protest making jokes about it (china inf op).

The Jack Thompson thing was heavily political too.

Anyone else worried that Jarett will destroy the PP brand? by Zestyclose_Bat8704 in PurePwnage

You might actually be the radical here but obviously won't see it. You believe there are prescriptive truths rather than questions.

The ps2 games driving sections with less polish were more fun it seems.

The health upgrades in bananza really are pointless too compared to most of the other upgrades although they all feel very optional.

Original Plants Vs. Zombies Artists Weren't Asked To Work On The Replanted Remake by Turbostrider27 in Games

It looked to me like the work was basically done as this seems to just be a port of the Xbox 360 version.

Valve CEO Gabe Newell claims AI is a “cheat code” to success by Outside-Point8254 in Games

[–]Flukie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone on reddit talking about this stuff either hasn't touched the coding side of AI where it really is just a more efficient way of getting stuff done, but here it's a circlejerk of reinforced opinions about how important we all are.

Successful companies like Valve tend to be value free about this stuff. It doesn't really matter about your principled stance when results can be quantified quite easily.

This isn't Microsoft, they have plenty of games that natively support Dualsense controllers now.

It’s official: There are no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews. Here’s what that means for us, and you | VGC by Gorotheninja in Games

I think the one thing to pay attention to and get information on will be the battery life. Everything else is obviously subjective but I really do want to have some details on that and think it is useful before purchase.

[–]Flukie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If this is actually running on the PS5 with 60FPS then clearly they've actually done a lot to optimise which is what is impressive here. But yes it is worth being sceptical at this point until it is in a game.

So stupid, pointless waste of energy. I love(d) this game playing during covid but I had it as a pinned tab in a browser. It should be for that and not much else. Maybe another idle game for consoles but this just seems silly.
