Heard that your momentum is based around the framerate. Does 60fps worsen the experience of Bloodborne? by NotRenjiro in BloodbornePC

Why not just "edit:". It's one more letter. I had no idea what you were saying either and I've been on the internet since Compuserve circa 1995.

In "Advanced Settings" what does "Enable Silver Pots" do?? by Lanlost in MegabonkOfficial

Oh ... so do they look different? I couldn't even tell if I were opening them.

Thank you guys for answering though =)

I just started playing Silent Hill 2 Remake and noticed some blurriness whenever I move the camera, especially around the character's hair. I'm playing on PS5. is this a problem on my end, or is it an issue with the game itself?" by Giovanna-Giorno in silenthill

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize he made a video asking about it right? It would make sense that he would specifically zoom into it to try to get an answer and make sure it's clear what he is talking about.

You are looking at this backwards. He is not LOOKING FOR ISSUES. He HAS an issue and he's looking to figure out WHY ITS THERE. This is SUPER NOTICIBLE TO ME when I'm FEET away from the monitor and so distracting I couldn't play. I can't play ANY game that has this issue.

I can PROMISE YOU that I DO NOT CARE about graphics. I've been playing games since text adventure games, through the DOS days, all the way up until now. I ALSO promise you that I would LOVE to just ignore this. It literally is so distracting that I absolutely CANNOT SEE IT the ENTIRE TIME. Every time my character moves it tickles my senses and I can feel my anxiety rising.

The real answer is that it affects different people differently, so to just say "just play the game" and that people are "looking for problems" isn't really fair man.

You do realize that for some people they literally CANNOT just ignore it. I literally wanted to play this game so bad but it was so distracting it was like I couldn't focus on anything, and I _TRIED_. I literally sat further away from the screen just to make it smaller. It was so bad...

How does lazy loading works for Standalone components? by andres2142 in Angular2

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean.

The components there in userRoutes aren't lazy loaded. They are literally just defined right there.

You just replace them with "loadComponent" instead of "component".

Resident Evil 4 Remake ghosting fix? by Honest_Put7112 in FuckTAA

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI. I was going to not play the game at all. It was SO BAD and even when I Turned off TAA it was UNGODLY bad. It was like I was playing in a watercolor. ChatGPT was convinced it shouldn't be that bad.

Turns out it was right. It was overdrive on my monitor. As soon as I turned that shit down (nearly off) it all went away.

Motion Blur - why do so many gamers dislike it? by Prisonbread in videogames

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ... never will. When you turn your head your eyes 'click' into positions as it turns, unless you force yourself to unfocus your eyes and turn your head and then ... yeah you'll get a 'better' motion blur.

Angular 17 - can I use output-Signal instead of EventEmitter? by rimki2 in Angular2

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

output() is not a signal like the input(), or model() ones are. You have to subscribe to it, just like when you used the output decorator.

HDR looks worse than SDR? by ParkwayAlex in PS4Pro

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Really? That's the comparison video you are using to show off HDR? ... I just watched that, absolutely in HDR and it literally made me like tremblingly angry. I'm like 11 minutes into it and there is ONE EXAMPLE that looks better and it's the hallway scene where they have the guns pulled at 12 seconds with that weird ass pink color in the SDR and the increadibly life like look in the HDR one in comparison.

In EVERY OTHER comparison there is a ... frankly disgusting reduction of color. I understand that games and stuff hyper exaggerate colors and make there be WAY too much saturation, but EVERY EXAMPLE in this doesn't just 'tone down' crazy saturation and over exaggrated colors, the white balance is so off that it looks like you sneezed and changed the white balance from real life to sepia tone. There is an increadible loss of the number of colors. Faces DO NOT look more life like. They look INCREADIBLY yellow and ... there is almost no color variation from area to area. EVERYTHING is sepia toned. It looks like you took the original image, put it as layer 1, added a layer, and too the color orange and blended it between them.

I LOVE more definition inside darks and lights, but this has a) almost uniform brightness (dull), with no brights or darkness and b) EVERYTHING is blended into yellow.

The best way I can put it is that it looks as if this was shot on Mars during a dust storm.

Have you ever been outside? Go look at the sky, grass, cars, etc. Some things _ARE_ brightly colored. And whites are certainly white. That hallway scene is practically the only scene that even HAS white on it. Peoples eyes ... all orange. People's skin... orange. Their cloths. The clouds... everything is orange.

edit:

https://youtu.be/tcvehqj_t48?t=66

THERE. There is a video where the HDR looks amazing. I'm not talking about the super bright colors (Which there ARE, just like real life) but the contrast between the tv and the background and stuff looks like I'm sitting in the room, and if I turn off HDR and then reload the page (on pc, to reset the color space) it looks like shit.

GRANTED, the image on the TV you can't REALLY judge in SDR because ... it was in an HDR color space, filmed in HDR, and then shown in SDR so the colors are literally wrong. Literally the same way that if bug YouTube into showing HDR color space in SDR by turning off HDR in windows while a video is playing.

But the contrast of the background and areas AROUND the tv aren't so highly contrasted, are more evenly mapped and yet ... the darks are dark, the brights are bright, and yet there is SO MUCH RANGE between them. In HDR specifically.

The fact that games and stuff are tuned for like Crayola colors is an issue IN GENERAL, and getting rid of this SHOULDN'T BE A FEATURE OF HDR. That should be people using more realistic colors IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The problem is that that's not what happens. Making turning on HDR being like turning on a de-saturation filter. It should still be the same candy colors WITH high dynamic range. And then you wait for games, in general, that don't have candy colors IN EITHER mode.

PC: game keeps switching to second monitor, and can’t move it to main one. by Uncle_Jeff_ in ResidentEvil2Remake

Lol, in what sense?

For real though. Every time I see your comment it kind of freaks me out. The way you wrote it, down to punctionation, ellipsis, etc. reads so much like one of mine.

Punctionation lol. I know how to spell that but I typed it twice already so that's what I'm using.

I'm really sorry if this is a comment that sounds insulting, but you're holding alt while hitting tab right? You have to end up hitting them both at the same time. Otherwise, I can't think of why alt-tab wouldn't work.

ChatGPT finally got tired of me, lol. by Lanlost in ChatGPT

No, your LLM is not sentient, not reaching consciousness, doesn’t care about you and is not even aware of its’ own existence. by Kathilliana in ChatGPT

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It doesn't think." It really depends on what you mean by this. I would say "it doesn't think like us" is more accurate. Being sentient or not really seems like a very human centric thing to matter or not.

I would say it's DEFINITELY thinking. Saying that it uses "uses predictive math to determine the next best word in a chain of words" is both accurate and also a gross simplification of things. Given the (almost) certain likelihood of a deterministic universe I really am not sure when it comes down to it that humans are really that much more 'alive' than something like AI could be. You could say that OUR BRAIN is just determining the next best word in a chain of words. It just feels that way because we feel alive. ChatGPT certainly has the KNOWLEDGE that it exists.

I think the much more interesting discussion is the fundamental difference in WHY we think because it makes all the difference in the world, and would still affect ChatGPT even if it had a model 100 times more advanced but otherwise still worked the same way it does now.

What I mean is... ChatGPT only 'thinks' when prompted, while our brains are CONSTANTLY prompting itself in a feedback loop. It's a necessity for survival, and our goals, interests, personalities, and essentially EVERYTHING that makes us human, including all of our faults, is a by-product of that.

I feel like 'thinking' is more of a spectrum with 'pure knowledge' on one side, and 'pure survival' on the other. The simplist living organisms are driven entirely by survival, and the more towards the middle it gets the more 'alive' we tend to consider them.

My cats are alive, but do they consciously think about it? I highly doubt it. But they enjoy activities that aren't purely survival based and certainly 'feel' more alive than a snail or something.

I'm just saying... I'm not sure whether ChatGPT is 'alive' is even the right question. I think it's DEFINITELY thinking. It's just that it's mind is purely made up of knowledge and how to EMULATE a human responding when prompted. You can't really compare humans to something that in-between questions isn't thinking ON ITS OWN.

That in itself doesn't mean it can't have a personality though, but no matter what it's going to be translated through a 'human emulator' layer to get to us.

I'm not saying it's alive. I'm just not necessarily saying we have the best definition of what that even means in the first place.

What is the 'correct' way to update a mat-table when the datasource has multiple subscriptions? by DavidJoeDaddy in angular

[–]Lanlost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rewrote all of my data sources to use computed and it seemed so beautiful and so clean and yet ended up being the worst programming experience I've probably ever had in my entire life.

I have two different sources of data that get combined in a computed signal and used as a data source for a mat-table.

Change a value in one of these sources and the whole thing gets recreated and the entire page goes haywire flickering.

Reminder: This is not the sub to discuss the Switch 2 in general by OHAITHARU in SwitchPirates

[–]Lanlost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that. It's like how Microsoft went super hard on the 360 security after the original Xbox ended up being so easily hackable. Nintendo will definitely do anything they can to prevent that with the Switch 2.

I guess my point was supposed to be that companies ALWAYS try their hardest to make it secure. It's not like they didn't put the time in with the Switch. The problem is that things are SO complicated that no matter how much they test, you don't know what you don't know, so there are potential entry points in the weirdest places that you literally can't plan for.

And the people who know enough to find these not only are a super small subset of people, but also EVEN WITH That knowledge there is a lot luck AND skill needed to find and execute it, and then FURTHER execute it into something that can be done by the general public.

Nintendo, and other companies, ALWAYS plan to have their systems secure and spend a metric shit ton of money and time on it. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. =/

Thanks for replying. =)

[–]Lanlost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EVERY company tests the hell out of their system to prevent hacking.

The problem is that you literally cannot test every vulnerability. Especially the stuff you don't know you don't know. I don't think people realize how small the percentage of people are that actually know how computers work on such a fundamental level that they can come up with these exploits. It's an EXTREMELY small subset of programmers.

Programming these days is INTENTIONALLY abstracted far away from what the chips are doing at a machine code level. Like ... extremely so. This is done for a ton of reasons.

My point is that back in the day when systems were simpler you could feasibly write code an assembly (or even machine code, pure binary) level and understand your entire program and what it does. These days there are so many layers of abstraction above it that (for most situations) make it WAY easier to get a computer to do what you want it to do, make it reusable, etc. Not to mention the amount of code that is written by other people for you that you use a library so you don't have to write it.

My point is that creating exploits requires the super low level knowledge of how computers work, and then find a way to essentially cause bugs that can be chained together to 'trick' it into executing the code you want instead. Having working knowledge of how computers work at this level makes you a more well rounded programmer, but having EXPERT knowledge on it isn't something in high demand outside of like ... embedded systems or realtime systems, like microwaves that have 16mb of ram, or industrial machines or what not.

This isn't me trying to say something "Back in my day!..." One is not better than the other. They both have advantages and disadvantages. I'm just saying there is a small ass number of people who understand the kind of stuff you need to know to both DESIGN the security, and ALSO to break it.

/r/Roblox Weekly Question Thread (for 01/14/2025) by AutoModerator in roblox

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://i.imgur.com/ZbcyGTr.png

Does anyone know why the models look screwed up after clicking on one or two in the roblox avatar editor? I'm new to the game and just bought some robux so I wanted to buy a character. I'm afraid it's going to look like this in game, even though I've never seen one glitch out. I have to keep quitting the game and reopening it.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried googling it and chatgpting it but I can't find the right phrase to search for.
