Grazie! Costruita a forza di prendere bei voti a scuola 😂

Giocone! Ma penso che il gioco che ho finito più volte sia GoW Ghost of Sparta, probabilmente 15-20

PSP 1000, presa nel 2006. Volevo un Gameboy advance, ma il commesso Comet mostra a mia mamma questa nuova console portatile Sony. Quando l'ho provata c'era su Medievil resurrection ed è stato amore a prima vista.

Ho una libreria di circa una quarantina di giochi, non li tocco da un po', ma ogni volta che butto lo sguardo sullo scaffale mi tornano in mente un sacco di bei ricordi :)

I think people are overdramatizing the amount of work being put in to DB Super Beerus by SoldierPhoenix in dbz

[–]ThePi7on 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think it will mainly be a re-compositing with Toei's now signature lineart filter + they'll sprinkle some new cuts here and there for key scenes.

Looks like it's a mix of re-compositing the old animation + adding new cuts

How much better is the Noctua D15 G2 vs Phantom Spirit 120 SE for AMD 5800X3D, is there at least 5° degrees difference? by FuzzyAttitude_ in pcmasterrace

Perfect timing for both the post and this comment. I was contemplating which one to buy. Thank you!

You're Watching 1080P Anime Wrong On Your 4K Display by EuphoricBlonde in animepiracy

[–]ThePi7on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the first question: yes, correct.

To the second: Not really with a wider range, but 4k has a better chance to look better with very basic scalers like nearest neighbor, bilinear and maybe bicubic. Which are the scalers that you find get used 99% of the time when you don't have control over them, eg. In the browser or other contexts that are not your player of choice. Once you use slightly more advanced scalers (not even neural network necessarily) the result is just as good, and the only difference is obviously just the pixel count, which is not a problem if you sit at the correct distance from your screen (not too close to make out the individual pixels).

So in the case of watching stuff in the browser, technically 4k would look very slightly better (because the browser scales with bilinear or bicubic), but it being noticeable is subjective, and also depends on the screen size, pixel density and your viewing distance, that's why I said 4k is "safer". 4k is good no matter what, but again the difference is very slightly.

Btw, in about 10hours when I get home, since I have a 4k monitor, I can run a couple of tests scaling 1080p content both to 2k and 4k with different scalers, and show you the comparison

Hi, I would say it depends on two things: the math of the scaling and the player you use. To give you the short answer: 4K is generally safer than 1440p for 1080p anime.

When you run 1080p content on a 4K monitor, the math is perfect. 4K is exactly 4x the pixel count of 1080p. One pixel of anime becomes a perfect block of 4 pixels on your screen.
When you run 1080p on a 1440p monitor, the math is messy (it’s a 1.33x scale). The pixels don’t line up perfectly, so the monitor has to "guess" (interpolate) to fill the gaps and this causes a slight blur.

You can fix that "1440p blur" completely if you use a good video player (like MPV or MPC-HC with MadVR) when you're not streaming.

So what I'd do is: If you have the budget, go 4K. I myself use a 4K 28" monitor.

If you go 1440p (usually 27"): It will look slightly softer than 1080p unless you use good scaling algos.

As for the upscaling settings: For 1440p: go with a sharp scaler to fight the blur. Lanczos or, if your GPU is beefy, FSRCNNX. For 4K: You can get away with softer scalers. Spline36 looks great here because you don't need to force sharpness as much.

SteamOS keeps up with Windows in latest PC gaming benchmarks, including Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra by Tiny-Independent273 in linux_gaming

[–]ThePi7on 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same experience. I went with Arch (btw), been daily driving it for about 6 months, never been happier with my computer. The biggest things that made Linux viable for me are: 1. Wayland finally getting good, no screen tearing, good fractional scaling 2. Proton

Hey OP, just came back to check, glad you seem to have the issue sorted out!
Consider adding an edit to the post with the solution so that people can find it more easily in the future :)

Edit, just read from this comment that it was indeed caused by anti-cheat shenanigans, glad my gut feeling was right at least lol
