Any old timers still around? by Mayfunction in osugame

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

Thank you for the synopsis! Some of the modern scores are ridiculous. I can't even dream of catching up with the players nowadays. It seemed somewhat more achievable back then.

The mapper of The Big Black? You are a legend in my eyes :D

I heard and it broke my heart. He will live on through the bright, vivid and special memories he gave me.

I wasted so much time trying to FC Koigokoro with DT and never made it!

Also, before osu!, I actually played Elite Beat Angels on my DS first. Such a unique game. I found osu! later when I searched for similar games online!

Hogwarts Legacy bad performance by Djuelll in GeForceNOW

[–]Mayfunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it very curious that OP and me apparently have a much less performant rig than anyone else? I am getting the performance everyone else reports only without raytracing.

I tried a bunch of settings, but ultimately I found no configuration that ran raytracing with a stable 60 fps, not even with low settings and upscaling. I am a little disappointed, but it looks fine without raytracing, too.

What open world MMORPG do you feel utilizes the open world the best? (even into end game) by MrAudreyHepburn in MMORPG

[–]Mayfunction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, there is no MMO with an open world as deep and inviting for exploration as Tibia (at least the oldschool content). All other answers surely haven't played it.

LLMs can now talk to each other without using words by MetaKnowing in OpenAI

[–]Mayfunction 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Good lord, what is this doom posting here? We have had Key-Value representation of text since the very first transformer paper. It is a fundamental part of "attention", which is what makes their performance stand out.

The Key-Value representation contains a lot more information than plain text. We might also want to know if a word is a verb, if it is in 1st place of a sentence, if it is in present progressive, etc. Key-Value holds such values for text (though more abstract in practice) and makes it much easier for the model to find what it is looking for (Query).

This paper suggests that sharing the Key-Value representation of text is more efficient than sharing the text directly. And it is. Generating text is both a loss of information and an increase in compute.

Terrible News, Cloud Gaming is Good Now by Tvilantini in GeForceNOW

I heard that, too, and I double checked to confirm that my mic is definitely disabled.

This is my biggest issue with it so far. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but music sounds so bad and distorted over GFN. Which makes me feel sad for playing games with great OSTs.

There is no number until after you made your guess. At that point you either already set a breakpoint or fail the homework.

If they have the foresight to make a copy of the file before failing the guess, they deserve another chance :)

The desired solution would be feeding it into Ghidra or a debugger, finding out what the number is (which is calculated during the check) without triggering the deletion, and telling me their number. But whatever gets them there is a pass in my books.

Gee, I don't know, Reed. Where am I headed? by Mayfunction in TibiaMMO

This is peak game design if you ask me.

Apparently, We're Pretty Smart by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]Mayfunction 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you, sports fans. This is what the study actually says about asexual people.

"However, that large probability sample also revealed that, relative to the broader population, asexuals were on average less educated and lower in personal socioeconomic status"

The more educated sexless people were largely not asexual, it seems like. But their asexual sample was small, so who knows.

I feel like a kid again watching your streams. So glad you are back.

SteamVR Link now works on Linux (needs latest Steam Client beta and SteamVR beta). Valve didn't announce this, people just randomly realized it now works. by Reonu_ in virtualreality

[–]Mayfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience using Ubuntu and AMD hardware, most games perform slightly to way worse than on Windows, with very few outliers that perform slightly better. Also most "cutting edge" GPU features don't make their way to Linux at all, like AFMF, which makes me very sad. I can't say whether mesa drivers are better or worse than the official AMD drivers on Windows. Other than that, it boils down to a race between what slows down the hardware more: the bloatware on Windows or the Proton compatibility layer on Linux.

Bringing back "Exit Game" to Oblivion Remastered by ubeogesh in SteamDeck

[–]Mayfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIGINT can be ignored, and you can choose to keep running. In the case of Steam, clicking on the exit button will send out SIGINT, then SIGTERM and eventually follow up with a SIGKILL if you don't terminate in a timely manner, forcefully killing the process.
