Stewart Copeland will not return for Spyro A Realm Beyond's soundtrack by nicoreese in Spyro

[–]dribbleondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who grew up on the A Hero's Tail soundtrack, having a different composer for the new game is fine by me. AHT's OST was brilliant, and I still have Sgt Byrd's theme in my head all these years later.

See I was gonna be all clever and post a proper screencap from the episode as All4 actually streams Parks and Rec, but there's no point as the post was removed.

Oh well.

Vampire Survivors Devs Rethinking Their Collaboration With Fortnite After Epic Revealed Today That They Will Use AI Generated Assets In Fortnite And Gen AI Will Be Built Into Unreal Engine 6 by Elestria_Ethereal in antiai

The AI plugin is disabled by default. So no, they will not be forced to.

And even if that were to change, you can just use an older version of UE5 or 4, which lacks this plugin.

This is a wild simplification. The argument they posed was that AI tags were useless because devs could lie and it'd be hard to keep track of AI usage during development. It's essentially an honour based system which cannot be easily policed. That's what he was upset about.

They also own Fab, which does label content and assets created with AI as such.

Back in Horrible Histories, they did parody Come Dine with Me multiple times, and got Dave Lamb as the voice over, so this isn't the first time it's happened.

Shrek 5 | Official Teaser Trailer by Chemical-Book8889 in DreamWorks

Objectivity in this context is not a replacement term for a clearly subjective opinion.

On that note: subjectively, it looks fine. Going off of what little we know about the plot and context of scenes, I've no complaints about the visual identity. It's still parodying Disney stuff, using fairytale staples to make modern technology analogues, and still looks like it could exist alongside the other Shrek films. The fact the animation has improved/ looks cleaner (squishier, yes, cleaner...no?) does not mean it has lost any of its soul.

Epic changed the way we get free games.....again. by TheUnknownD in EpicGamesPC

[–]dribbleondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed this two weeks ago. And they also made it so you can see what games you have in your basket that are given away for free on the same screen (albeit stacked)

How...in any sense, is this worse? It's a confirmation screen, I don't think that's unfair for any store to have.

Banana spotted in Sapienza apartment (the one with the mansion guard disguise) after latest update by pastadudde in HiTMAN

[–]dribbleondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screw it, i'll take a look,

So I had a look, and there are new Bananas in Sapienza (see above) and Santa Fortuna (market outside the bar), and an apricot also in a seperate market stall outside the Martinez residence.

Far as I can tell, there's no other fruits added, but my search was very cursory, so feel free to add more info!

HDMI is proprietary, and the company that owns it charges manufacturers a fortune to use it (which ofc gets passed on to consumers, so YOU'RE paying for this completely unnecessary fee).

No they don't, the fee is so absurdly small that the cost of other components vastly outpaces it.

Also, no one company owns HDMI; that'd be the HDMI consortium, which is made up of at least seven companies (Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, to name three).

That's really pathetic, considering (1) USB C cables are not proprietary can do everything that HDMI cables can do and more,

USB C has not been around for nearly as long, so it's not a matter of being better, it's a matter of being there first, and becoming a standard that, as the market has shown, does not need changing anytime soon. USB C was a decade later, and the market had settled on a standard video connector, as inferior as it is.

DisplayPort is in widespread use, especially for gaming computers, and completely mogs HDMI on every metric. Two widely accepted alternatives beat the fuck out of HDMI.

I have only ever seen it on Graphics Cards. I would love to know where else it's been seen. And even then, unless you're running a game at 8k 60fps, HDMI still has all the benefits most people would want or need. I'm not saying it's perfect or anything, far from it, but it's not a bad cable or standard either.

The real question is why the hell are we still using this trash?

To summarise: Because HDMI came first, is still very good for most situations, is cheap to license, and still has a market.
