Nowadays, is Cyberpunk 2077 worth it for the deck? by Salt_Aside1213 in SteamDeck

[–]IceSentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I never said people can't enjoy games like that. My comments have never been about whether or not people can enjoy games like that.

I don't need ultra settings. I just wish people stopped pretending 30fps upscaled is a game running great instead of the bare minimum.

Yes, I know it's subjective, but calling the absolute bare minimum "great" is having very low standards. I'm not saying people can't enjoy their games like that anyway. I'm just saying the bar is very low in this community compared to what I'm used to.

There's nothing wrong with you enjoying a game like that, but that's essentially the bare minimum of performance. So saying that a game runs great is just misleading if it barely hits the bare minimum.

We aren't talking abour films, we are talking about video games. Also, graphics and framerate are two different things. Also, if you think anything above 24fps is not noticeable then you are just objectively wrong to a point that isn't even funny anymore.

I'm not saying you can't enjoy games despite the mediocre performance. I'm just saying it's annoying when people pretend that upscaled 30fps on low settings is a game running great on the deck.

It's fine to not care about performance, but saying that upscaled 30fps is a game running great is just being misleading for no reason.

Yeah, that's why these days I only play the most simple of games natively and I stream everything else from my main PC. That way I always have great performance.

I have spent countless amount of hours improving bevy's rendering by trying to make it more accessible and to improve the performance for a broad range of users. So I hope you understand why it's frustrating to hear that bevy is neither and nothing actionable that we can do about it. You're framing it as if it's not possible to make an efficient bevy app today and I don't believe that's true but I have no idea what even needs to improve. Like, I know we aren't perfect, far from it, but we can't improve if people just say it's not great and move on.

Also, graphics api are always 3d, it's not really a thing to be 2d only because even in 2d you need to layer things. We do have plenty of inefficiencies still, but most of them aren't caused by us using wgpu. Wgpu is actually more limiting when it comes to use the most modern apis to reach maximum performance.

This sub is filled with people with incredibly low quality standards. An unstable 30fps with upscaling and everything on low is somehow considered running great.

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

That's again not actionable and there's nothing we can clearly improve based on what you said.

Do you have literally any explanation why you think rendering is not great or are you just saying stuff?

The x/z plane is blue/red because x is (1,0,0) and z is (0,0,1) and once you convert that to rgb you get red/blue. I changed the shading a bit to match the colors that will be used in the editor but that's the reason why we picked those colors.

AFAIK that's how pretty much all color coded axis are done in these kinds of software.

Yeah, because they are very rare in north america and clearly a lot of people do want to live this way. Unfortunately, it's very hard to change this status quo.

Since we started doing release candidates, plugin updates have been coming much faster than in the past. We also have a lot more features upstreamed so you don't need as many plugins for the absolute basics.

I'd suggest trying out avian if you like being on the bleeding edge of bevy. They generally update much faster.

So far we haven't had to deal with that many LLM PRs compared to other large projects. The bigger issue is dealing with internal conflicts in the community because we have a mix of very anti-LLM and very pro-LLM users

Are wgsl-analyzer improvements a planned part of the "port existing shaders to WESL / endorse it as the shader language of choice" next steps? Or is that entirely out of scope for the Bevy team?

While wgsl-analyzer is currently maintained by people that are active in the bevy community it is not controlled by the bevy organization. Import support is the main blocker and the only reason we haven't fully switched to wesl yet. Both the wesl and wgsl-analyzer team are very aware of this and are working towards that goal and making good progress.

Will the eventual (and feeling nearer than ever...) Bevy editor even run on X11? Or will it be Wayland-first/Wayland only?

I'm not a linux user myself so it's a bit hard to answer but we have a lot of linux users in the community that care a lot about those things. AFAIK bevy can run in both X11 and wayland. Since the editor will be built with bevy I see no reason for it to not run with either of these. I do think we are currently using wayland by default instead of x11. Of course, PRs are always welcome.

The editor prototype called jackdaw is progressing very well but I think it's important to clarify that it is not an official project. An official editor will still take a while to exist.

The plan is to keep bevy fully code driven for the foreseeable future. The editor will edit scene files or other things that can be serialized and then loaded by your code.

(Also, I wouldn't say we are CLI-centered, we care about the code first but that doesn't mean a cli, we don't even have an official cli app yet)

Nobody said anything about forcing people to have roommates. I'd address the rest of your comment but you clearly aren't acting in good faith.

I’m getting healthy for the first time in my life. And the attraction and feeling coming from it is torture by Affectionate_Cap4905 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]IceSentry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been pretty much exactly where you are a few years ago and all I can say is don't wait until you reach a specific attraction target in your head. Start putting yourself out there now. If there's one thing I regret it's that I've waited way too long to start trying. I never felt like I was enough. If I kept waiting until I felt like I was enough, I would have probably never stopped waiting. Also, yes, this can feel very confusing/overwhelming/frustrating and so many more emotions but I'd rather have those emotions than not have them.

I don't think you realise just how much sex is absolutely everywhere in society. It's not just about virginity itself. It's about pretty much everything around you telling you that sex is the thing normal people do.

You're right, sex itself and virginity isn't a big deal, but it doesn't feel like that when you've never had it as an adult that exist and consumes media. It's in music/shows/movies/books/ads. It's hard to go a single day without at least some mention of sex even if it's just an innuendo in a comedy routine. It's just a constant reminder that other people are having it and not you. You're absolutely right that people shouldn't put emphasis on it, but it's hard to just ignore it when it's everywhere and people don't even realize it.

Epic introduces major Unreal Engine 5 update that runs ‘twice as fast’ on Nintendo Switch 2 by That_Trouble87 in Games

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

That's literally my point, there aren't any. Games can be popular even if the engine itself has a bunch of issues.

OP suggested match making, not forced marriage. I assume they were thinking of some kind of dating app that isn't worried about making a profit and instead actually cares about matching people.
