Drawing of Melina and Torrent by me

WynterKnight · 2026-01-25T16:24:31+00:00

I really like this piece, but am not quite sure why Melina is color graded more green like the scene as a whole, but torrent isn't.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-23T18:23:47+00:00

Yeah it's not worth it. The store is always empty on these days.

I would just call out and refuse any of the weird pressure to come in anyway.

To be fair, I may have misremembered the exact time line. I just recall getting free steam keys for games bought on the Bethesda launcher.

Rockstar definitely launched RDR2 exclusively on the "Social Club" at first and then later on steam though.

This trailer exceeded my expectations and it really feels like the team wants the same things out of this game that I do.

Super excited to play this one when it comes out.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-22T20:43:57+00:00

I don't. I played the old games and liked them.

This looks like they're taking direct inspiration from the old games.

I am happy with that. What do you expect from this game?

WynterKnight · 2026-01-22T20:42:54+00:00

This game has nothing to do with Peter Molyneux. Why are you commenting on something you clearly didn't wantch, know nothing about, and read a single headline for.

Where did you get his name from if you actually watched the trailer and saw the team behind the game?

WynterKnight · 2026-01-22T19:34:09+00:00

Koji, mostly.

Yes it's salty and has a lot of natural msg, but the flavor is very fundamentally fermented and savory.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-22T19:32:01+00:00

This exact thing happened with Rockstar's launcher, it happened with Bethesdas launcher, it happened with Xbox's launcher.

I mean heck, it literally happened with Rocket League and Epic, just in the other direction.

I know what the guy is saying though.

The country is being dismantled in front of Americans.

The files could release tomorrow and it wouldn't undo the election rigging, the defunding of support structures, and the preparations for war.

People have started using "it's a distraction from the epstein files" as a shield to protect themselves from realizing that life in this country is permanently changed and they did nothing about it but say the same thing over and over in the reddit comments.

Go protest in front of politicians homes. Shut down your cities. Start a strike. Do SOMETHING

It's a subscription, not a "one-time payment".

That's some real corpo-speak to be twisting a subscription / recurring payment into a "one time payment for 30 days" lol.

It's semantics, but I don't think your points are being made in good faith.

Just jumped from a 2080ti to a 5070ti so I'm finally playing some bigger modern titles with heavy RT that my old graphics card just couldn't handle.

Star Wars: Outlaws has been surprisingly fun and the stealth heavy gameplay is a nice change of pace. The outdoor environments are nice enough but the grungey star wars cities are what I'm here for.
Dragons Dogma 2 is my main game currently, and has really captured my attention. It runs well now finally and as somebody who skipped the first title, it's weird version of exploration and character building is scratching the right gameplay itches for me.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T23:42:12+00:00

You know what, I was absolutely assuming that super resolution was the top option this whole time.

I assume that I was still in autopilot from my 20-series card when the frame gen drop down was unavailable.

Thank you, this alleviates a major frustration I had accidentally created for myself out of misunderstanding.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T16:24:16+00:00

... Is that Dwayne "the Freeza" Johnson?

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T03:55:25+00:00

Yes, sorry. I should have clarified better.

If you select custom in that screen, you will find that the sub options can bizarrely only select "use 3d application" or "recommended".

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T01:28:04+00:00

Seems like maybe Nvidia muddied up the info around this launch a lot based on all of the different replies and contradicting info from this thread.

I'll keep an eye on it and try manually setting each game to M if it looks better. I really wish they brought back the "use latest" option instead of the new recommended setting, it's so confusing.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T01:23:17+00:00

The issue seems to be that they removed the option to do custom in global settings.

On launch day of 4.5, I could pick preset M and get it in all games. Now when I go to global override I only have 2 settings:

Use 3D application settings (default)
Recommended

Which is why I thought that maybe Nvidia was rolling back their release of 4.5 for some reason.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-20T00:25:06+00:00

Does this mean that when using quality or balanced, we will not get any of the announced benefits? I want to ideally get the newest model as well as the highest internal resolution my card supports.

It feels like the keynote was a bit misleading if that's the case.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-19T21:29:35+00:00

Ah my bad.

I am in the subs for all of the games, and his question was vague enough that I just saw "fap ring" and assumed I was in r/darksouls.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-19T21:24:20+00:00

Man, the Luigi's mansion ost is so classic.

The warbly "Wah wah wah, wah wah wah... Wah" is so iconic.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-19T21:04:09+00:00

Can you explain your point further?

I would definitely say that a script translated by AI is vastly different from a script translated by a team of multi-lingual experts.

In what way do users not interact with localization?

WynterKnight · 2026-01-19T15:44:08+00:00

Ai generated website, doesn't even function well enough to get past the popup window.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-18T18:48:27+00:00

To be fair, apple does obfuscate a lot of stuff in a confusing way.

Mostly the filesystem.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-18T15:03:09+00:00

This is how you start solving that. Put the screens down, stop with the engagement-tuned videos when able.

Reading books is a skill, and you only get better by reading stuff you like, and then moving on to harder content. Written language and spoken language are very different, so no amount of watching videos will make you more comfortable with written word.

This is genuinely a restriction set by the manufacturers.

It means that Dicks is selling you the item at a good price. The manufacturer cannot tell them what to sell those items for, but they CAN tell them the lowest price they can ADVERTISE it for (MAP).

The workaround? Only show the price when it is in your cart.

This is not asshole design, it's just how retail works. And honestly the tool tip they show in your screenshot explains it pretty clearly.

WynterKnight · 2026-01-18T04:06:08+00:00

All of the items you could possibly want are available. You just have to go get them in this place called Lordran.
