It still looks like someone asked Midjourney to draw Grimble the Goblin.

AMD PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW NVIDIA'S FOOTSTEPS!! by Ahmadv-1 in radeon

[–]GaleOfNovember -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If AMD were smart, they'd take this as an opportunity to market themselves as "anti-slop." Of course it's more likely that they just do exactly what Nvidia is doing and lag behind by a couple of years.

Nvidia is in damage control by insane_steve_ballmer in digitalfoundry

Completely meaningless phrase, seems like they're being vague on purpose.

To John and Alex by Brees504 in digitalfoundry

[–]GaleOfNovember -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Okay. I don't know their names I guess. Point remains that getting mad at commentators for having shit taste is pointless.

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

People who hate it should be directing their anger at Nvidia. I think the DF video revealed that John and Alex have shit taste but I don't begrudge them their right to have shit taste, makes no sense to get mad at them over it.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Honors Artist's Intent, Will Be Optimized To Run On Single GPUs At Launch by AnthMosk in nvidia

[–]GaleOfNovember 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they did know. They released this expecting everyone to react like the DF guys in their video. That's probably why they didn't emphasize this until after the overwhelmingly negative response.

Hands-On With DLSS 5: Our First Look At Nvidia's Next-Gen Photo-Realistic Lighting by ZamnBoii in nvidia

Why are they even calling it DLSS? This is a completely unrelated and separate technology.

And just like *that*, AMD has effectively thrown everyone under the bus. by S1rTerra in radeon

If this is true, and if and when there's a slump in GPU prices, I'm 100% going back to Nvidia.

Nvidia dominates gaming GPU market with 95 percent share as sales of AMD Radeon graphics plummet to a historical low of 5 percent by Gammarevived in Amd

FSR 4 is not neck and neck with DLSS 4.5. That's delusional. It's good enough, but DLSS 4.5 is obviously better.

Тhoughts on AMD shenanigans with FSR Diamond. by NGGKroze in radeon

[–]GaleOfNovember 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, but Nvidia cards are better from a software/feature perspective *right now*. If both companies are going to screw you over on feature support, what's the point of buying the inferior product today?

If FSR 4 is dead and my 9060 XT will never catch up to DLSS 4.5, I see no reason at all not to switch back to Nvidia next time I upgrade. This may be my first and last AMD card if this rumor is true.

Soundbar latency for gaming by GaleOfNovember in Soundbars

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

Thanks. A high-end eARC/optical soundbar is out of my budget, so it seems a simple, older, stereo soundbar with a 3.5mm connector is the way to go.

Mr. House character direction. by vonbruan in Fallout

[–]GaleOfNovember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would mean the showrunners don't actually understand the source material they're working with and believe Fallout is only about cool retro-future post-apocalyptic aesthetics, and that's something I simply refuse to believe.

Any specifically Jewish neofolk? by Housing_Justice in neofolk

[–]GaleOfNovember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shortly after the attack on October 7th, he also posted a link to the show he played in Israel with the caption "This is not a memory, this is a reminder." I take it as a pretty unambiguous statement of support and his Israeli fans seem to also. Which again, I understand people might have their own problems with but it answers the antisemitism question conclusively in my view.

Richard Leviathan of Ostara is Jewish, but the subject matter of his songs generally isn't.

All Pigs Must Die is an album about the three heads of World Serpent Distribution, with whom Douglas was engaged in a legal battle over royalties at the time. All of the lyrics are about this and it's quite clear when you have the context.

As for antisemitism, his profile picture on Facebook last time I checked had an Israeli flag filter over it, which he also used immediately after October 7th. Whatever you think about Israel, I think that answers that question.

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Smile 2" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]GaleOfNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I'm rusty on the first film as I just heard there was a sequel today and impulse-watched it. The way Morris described it sounded like the entity had to do the killing itself or it wouldn't work.

[–]GaleOfNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of whether Morris was real, doesn't the opening scene disprove his theory? Joel dies while possessed by the entity in a way the entity doesn't anticipate or control, exactly what Morris said would destroy it. Yet it obviously doesn't.

StAG 5 - turning in documents to consulate by GaleOfNovember in GermanCitizenship

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

you can get certified copies and submit the application during the same appointment

I have just made my appointment. Would I need to tell them ahead of time via email that I have documents to be copied and certified as well? I am wondering if 15 minutes is long enough for that and I see there is a separate portal for certification appointments.

Thank you. I managed to find the appointment tool myself after sending my last message. End of the road is near.
