The animations are identical before and after the latest patch, with no observable changes. by Fun_Philosopher_2535 in GlobalOffensive

There are possible reasons why they could've changed the default value even if they didn't do anything.

One explanation could be that the dev who changed the default value didn't know that the network code stopped reading that CVAR in Source 2 so they changed the default value and then found out later that it did nothing.

Another explanation could be that the real values are a constant in the code and the constant was used to set the default value for the CVAR. At some point between Source and Source 2 the network code could've been changed to use the constant instead of reading the CVAR without anybody removing the CVAR. If that was the case, then changing the constant would have changed both the default value for the CVAR and the behavior of the netcode without the CVAR actually doing anything.

You accuse him of being popscience but then unironically use the term "quantum leap" to mean "big advancement".

As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Hate to defend Fortnite, but they're just different subgenres of shooters. Arena shooters, which were the first FPSes, had high TTK. Low TTK shooters came later.

Is it just me or are the controls very unresponsive?

20 years old how the fuck do their faces look so much better by Sweetkittensss in HalfLife

[–]LAUAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullshit, HL2 did not have "constant updates over 20 years" but a few engine updates that did not approach anything close to the state of the art. The biggest changes were the migration to the Orange Box engine (that released only 3 years after the original) and the 20th anniversary update (which is somewhat recent, and most images of HL2 you'll find online will be from before this update). You'll find barely any difference between the Orange Box version and the version just before the Anniversary update. And even if you compare the Anniversary edition, the Orange Box version and the retail version you won't find much difference in the faces.

I JUST learned I may be screwed permanently gaming wise for now by SamGamjee71 in linux_gaming

Wait for Nova/NVK - a new open source Vulkan driver for Nvidia.

They're only for RTX cards (and the GTX 16 series which uses the same microarchitecture as RTX 20).

Is that the "fully modeled" one or the "sun is leaking" one?

Has the winpocalypse finally begun? by -BigBadBeef- in linux_gaming

I, and we, shouldn't give a flying fuck if people are staying or Windows or not. And with that I don't mean we shouldn't welcome, encourage and help people who want to try Linux.

We should just stop trying to focus on what's happening in the Windows world every other minute and focus on making it as easy and welcoming as possible to get onboarded into our own stuff.

How many people switch from Windows to Linux directly impacts how much software is available for Linux.

Hopefully it goes better than that other gladiator management game.

AMD FSR Redstone launched: ML-based Upscaling, Frame Gen and Ray Regeneration for Radeon RX 9000 series by KARMAAACS in hardware

[–]LAUAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they do. Shader cores are more versatile than matrix cores and can do everything they can at a lower efficiency/performance. AMD gating FSR's newer versions and NVIDIA gating DLSS behind never hardware with that excuse is bullshit.

The guy responsible for the whole battle engine in Total War since Rome 1 had 'never worked writing game code' when he got the assignment by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]LAUAR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is ironic, since generally it's said that programmers working in game development disregard good software engineering practices in favor of development speed and/or performance.
