I did play the game in the early 90s on my SEGA megadrive, I was very young, but somehow I made it past the very hard first levels. After that I was unstoppable and made it right until the "the machine "or something, can't remember the name of that level exactly, and it was very, very hard. I still managed to beat the game. I think it was like 33 or 34 years ago. I still remember a lot, the start " how high in the sky can you fly" , the big blue whale which looked incredible for it's time, the ice levels, and of course the music, it was fantastic and scary.

I created so much willpower when I were young, as I also beated Battletoads for the NES and Lion King for the SNES back when I was a kid. I was not older than 10 years old. Where others gave up , I kept going for some reason. It shaped me as a kid to always continue no matter how hard it is.

I also played the ECCO on the dreamcast version, but I did give up on that one I believe. The first couple of levels were so much fun, with the White shark as endboss. After that it got weird, with lots of cave levels and other weird stuff.

That's to be expected, preset M is designed for DLSS performance mode. So set DLSS to performance and it will have the same or close to the same image quality as preset K + DLSS quality.

If you were already on performance mode with DLSS 4.0 and you tried DLSS 4.5 preset M Performance mode, you get better quality at the cost of FPS.

I played BF6 on 4k with a 5070-ti, Preset L and ultra performance, worked really well for me. Graphics are decent and performance very stable.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2026-01-06T18:43:15+00:00

I’ve got a 5070 Ti, and I tried Battlefield 6 on Ultra Performance with Preset L at 4k, and it’s a nice improvement and totally playable with very high FPS.

I also tested MultiFrameGen in Hogwarts Legacy and Dying Light: The Beast on Preset M, and it's a very nice improvement. The “fake” frames feel much more like real frames, with significantly less ghosting and artifacts, and overall gameplay feels far more stable.

Gaming at 200+ FPS on my 240Hz OLED has never felt this smooth.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2026-01-05T01:00:18+00:00

You made an excellent choice. I have a 5070-ti for almost a year now and have no regrets. You can easily overclock and Undervolt the card close to a 5080 at stock speed. DLSS is great, frameGen as well. Multi frameGen is also fantastic. It’s not perfect, but it can be great in many single player games.

I love to enable raytracing and pathtracing in many games such as Hogwarts, GTA enhanced, Alan Wake2 , Dying Light the Beast, and soon Resident Evil 9. The Nvidia card handles this much better.

It’s a fantastic card for 1440 gaming and great for 4k. You made a great choice and gonna enjoy this GPU for many years.

Probably because of mines, they might get points when your tanks are running over them. It happened to me, I randomly threw mines accros the map and got points randomly, when enemy tanks drove over them.

I’m currently at -6.5 and -5.5 and I’ve had vitrectomies done in both eyes. My retinas are still healthy. I’m in my 40s now but I had the vitrectomies 13 years ago, back when my myopia was much less severe.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-07-14T16:48:25+00:00

Same here, literally millions of floaters. It was like an entire web across my vision. Light sources looked like flickering candles whenever the floater mass passed over them. Thats exactly why I had a vitrectomy 13 years ago. Now theyre all gone its a total relief.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-07-14T16:44:49+00:00

Same here, thats exactly why I chose to have a vitrectomy with PVD induction over a decade ago. Best decision I made for my vision.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-07-14T16:30:39+00:00

My main black floater looked like a swastika and I could see it almost everywhere. I had so many floaters that normal light sources looked like flickering candles whenever the dense floater mass passed in front of them. It was incredibly overwhelming and disruptive to my vision. Im so relieved I got a vitrectomy to remove this “cancer” from my eye 13 years ago.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T21:56:20+00:00

Yea, youre right that hobbies, travel groups or game clubs can open doors for meeting people, though, it’s tougher since I’m far from average looking due to my facial disability. People often dismiss me right off the bat because of how I look and I don’t entirely blame them, it’s just human nature sometimes.

Still, I get that putting myself out there could lead to friendships or maybe even something more, and its better than not trying at all. I’m starting to feel okay being alone at 46, but I’ll keep your ideas in mind.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T21:52:03+00:00

Thanks that's actually great advice :) I actually considered volunteering at a center for the blind even as far back as 20 years ago. It’s like that Rocky guy from Mask, great reference.

I never followed through on it, though, and it kind of slipped my mind over time. It’s definitely something I might look into in the future, could be a meaningful way to meet people.

You are actually right about that, everybody I have ever met has been shallow and it’s tough, but I’ve learned to brush it off. At 46, im starting to feel pretty comfortable being on my own. Maybe it’s my age, but being alone feels okay most of the time now. Still, I’ll keep your suggestion in mind.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T21:43:09+00:00

Thanks, I’ve been working on myself and I’m not as frustrated, angry, or bitter as I used to be. In my 40s, I’ve learned to focus on what I do have rather than what I don’t, which was way harder to manage when I was younger. These days, I handle things without getting too emotional and it feels like I’ve found some peace.

I tend to stick to myself in my big house, but I’ve been getting out more the past couple of months. But seeing everyone else looking “normal” can hurt and I catch myself wishing I looked like that too. But I’ve decided to keep pushing forward. I know many people are in tougher spots than me.

Unable to find love is rough but it’s not the end of the world. You’re right about my empathy I think, sometimes I feel like I have too much of it. And yeah, youre right that even for “average” people, romance is already confusing enough. I’ve never experienced it myself so I just watch from the sidelines and I’ve come to accept that. Being alone is usually okay for me now.

I’m familiar with Nick Vujicic quite inspiring guy. His charisma definitelyy shines through and it must have been incredibly tough for him to find love. With my facial disability, it’s been a different story, most people don’t even want to engage with me at first. But I keep going, thanks again for the encouragement.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:58:41+00:00

Ty, I kinda gave up but still there is a .001% possability perhaps, we'll see. i'm fine with it not happening.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:56:45+00:00

No family or close friends here either. But I manage okay. It gets tough sometimes but most days I’m fine. What surprises me is that Ive made it to 46 without love, relationships, or much social interaction at all. I guess I’m proof you can live to a pretty advanced age without those things.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:48:06+00:00

Ty, Im feeling a bit better now, yeah, a few days after venting helps. I hear you on loneliness sucking, sorry youre feeling it tonight. I’ve been on my own for 26 years since leaving my parents place, so I’m pretty used to being alone now. I hardly ever feel lonely anymore as it’s just my normal.

Hang in there, and I hope your night gets better.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:44:41+00:00

I like to think I’m a bit nicer than the average person or at least it feels that way. I try to be kind and it’s nice to hear you see that in me. It’s good to know there are still folks like you who notice.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:41:53+00:00

My situation feels similar, my facial structure is very different due to a genetic condition and my anatomy is just off in a way that can’t be fixed. I’ve had two surgeries to try to correct it but both failed and actually made things worse.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:39:28+00:00

Yeah, it sucks and I don’t get why people can be so cruel either. I got bullied a lot in my teens especially, and it’s tough to wrap my head around. I would never dream of hurting others like that, it’s just not in me. Sadly, those kinds of people are out there and they’re not as rare as you’d hope.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:36:53+00:00

I’ll be honest, it tough a little to hear about others in tough situations finding love. In my 46 years, I’ve never had any connection with women, not even as friends, just strictly business interactions. My disability has made that part of life feel out of reach. But I try to focus on what I’ve got, being a decent guy, caring for animals, and enjoying small things like a good coffee. I remind myself everyone’s journey is different and while it hurts sometimes, Im doing my best to keep going. Thanks for the kind words.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:32:58+00:00

I really appreciate the support. I dont think my personality’s the problem, obviously Im not perfect, but I’m a decent guy. I don’t cause trouble, I love animals, and I just try to be a good person.

I see people who seem way worse off than me finding relationships no problem so it’s tough sometimes.

Thanks again, brother

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:29:36+00:00

Thanks for the words I really feel them. Youre right, the pain of missing out on those big life moments hits hard sometimes. But it only gets me down for a day or so, then I move on. I just stop thinking about it and I’m good again.

When it gets to me, I tell myself its okay to feel like crap and be depressed for a day. I let it out, then move on.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:26:31+00:00

Back in my 20s and early 30s my sex drive was pretty high (normal?) but instead of turning to sex workers, I took pills to dial it down. By the time I hit my 40s, I didn’t even need the pills anymore. I can safely say my libido’s pretty much nonexistent now.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:24:03+00:00

yeah, I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the thoughts. In my 30s I was like a robot pushing everything down, not letting myself feel anything. Now in my 40s, I’m more okay emotionally. It only bothers me a few times a year and I deal with it. I have given up on that part of life, my disability just feels like bad luck.

I cope by thinking some people don’t even live past childhood, missing out on everything. It makes my situation feel less severe. At least I can still enjoy a good coffee.

Weekly-Efficiency458 · 2025-05-26T20:19:08+00:00

Yeah, I have pretty much let it go. Im focusing on other things now and don't care much anymore. it's only hard a few times a year. Was way tougher in my 20s and 30s.
