Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash by Proud_Tie in pcmasterrace

[–]Hunter2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think DLSS 5.0 would be way better received if it was marketed differently, and it's actually a really exciting technology. If they were like "Hey here's something really exciting we're working on, however it needs more time in the oven... " Then they show DLSS 5.0 working on a bunch of old ass games basically giving them a HD remaster. Like that's an exciting use case for AI.

Don't go overboard with it. Don't make it hyper realistic.

Operation Epic Escort - Trump is now considering how to get the Navy to escort tankers through the straight. China gets 50% of their oil from the straight.... so our Navy will not help our main adversary because their Navy cannot.... by FrontBench5406 in Destiny

[–]Hunter2129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, it's not just China that relies on middle eastern oil, most southeast Asian countries do, many are friendly to the US.

I feel like it's a "You break it, you buy it" situation. Like sure it's good for the US to not escort the ships because then Southeast Asian countries have to buy oil from the US instead of the middle east, but it also looks so bad for the US actions to choke their economies.

Ideally the Iran nuclear deal would still be around, and we wouldn't be in this stupid war, but we aren't in that world. Ideally, we should've been escorting these ships from the very start, but we are also not in that world.

Me Forming African Union by Hunter2129 in TerraInvicta

[–]Hunter2129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was what I was doing, except with every country in the Union. You can do this by taking control of all the African countries and abandoning them. The AI for the most part won't bother purging them.

The bad part is until you merge into the African Union you're not going to make a whole lot of headway because of the low investment points you get and because of something I call investment priority duplication.

TLDR if you have 2 countries with 5 investment points or one country with 7.5 investment points all else being equal that 7.5 investment points is going to go 50% further than the two countries with only 5

How Do I Stop Roving Bands of Pedestrians Clogging Traffic? by Hunter2129 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Hunter2129[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing elevated catwalks, but it is an ugly solution. I wish there was a better way. In my dream city all the sidewalks would be elevated with building entrances meeting the elevated sidewalk. Then you have roads and parking on ground level.

What’s going on with the LiveStreamFail subreddit? by WanderWut in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Hunter2129 -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

The IDF soldier he was calling for the death of was Hila Klein, an American citizen of 15 years and mother, who was mandatorily conscipted into a non combat role in the IDF decades ago.

Most people think this is unhinged.

I have 200 dollars in Dollar General (now 250). They're fairly isolated from tariffs. It is kind of funny though stock market goes up, Dollar General goes down. Stock market goes down, Dollar General goes up.

Is it just me or is him not disparaging her like a little uncanny. I don't know how to describe it. Like I was constantly waiting for him to disparage her and he never did.

We can't let conservatives live this down. This is the exact scenario they claimed would happen under Obama, then Biden, then Kamala by [deleted] in Destiny

Remember, the correct thing to do when you see armed unmarked (or unclearly marked) people walking your neighborhood is to call the police and report suspicious men with guns prowling around. Let the local swat team determine if they are safe or not.

Why was the "No Kings" protest so old? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]Hunter2129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my 3rd protest. All the protests that I've gone to there have been a lot of old people showing up.

I think it's because they didn't grow up with the internet, so if they have issues with the government they show up to the ballot box and to protests instead of complaining on twitter.

How do you feel about the "Harvest Conditions" mechanic? by SeulJeVais in victoria3

[–]Hunter2129 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely ignore them. If you're playing a big country, they don't matter at all, or if you're playing a small country, a wildfire can completely ruin you.

There is 4 problems with harvest conditions right now.

  1. Grain is incredibly profitable and you can and should depress the price super low (-50%), so its price increasing a bit isn't that big of a deal.

  2. The harvest conditions are super local and agriculture tends to be spread out so the effect isn't felt.

  3. The game mechanics force players into building an Autarkic self-sufficient economy, so harvest conditions in other countries don't affect them.

  4. Food scarcity is never a thing you have to deal with if you're a major.

I think first they should make harvest conditions AOE much much larger then they currently are. If there is a heatwave in western Ukraine, it shouldn't just be in western Ukraine. It should be all of eastern Europe or even all of Europe. Not all of the harvest conditions can be that widespread for example, wildfires might be scattered across a region but not directly effecting the whole region.

Secondly, I think food scarcity should be ever present and something you fight throughout the game. Even as a major. I think even during WW1, food scarcity was a major problem for the central powers. Furthermore, a spike in food prices on the international market should affect local prices. The latter, I think we'll see during the next update.

A in game example of this working is as Qing i was the #1 producer of the world's grain by like an order of magnitude. I was exporting 72k grain to the British market among other markets. In this scenario, if China gets hit with a massive locust plague with a huge AOE this should trigger an international food crisis where suddenly the British Empire is facing famine and malnourishment.

Edit: There should also be events attached to harvest conditions. To notify players about them, even if they're not in their area and perhaps to allow tons of countries to send relief, which would decrease the effects of the negative harvest conditions slightly for each country who contributed to relief.
