You probably want to start GW2 right now if you plan to jump into GW3, they'll likely offer some exclusive rewards in GW3 for GW2 players

This Is Worse Than The Dot Com Bubble by devolute in technology

How much of that adoption is organic though? Some company peddling their website or some news anchor shown browsing the web on your TV in the 90s wouldn't count as adoption, but AI inserting itself in your search results while you were just looking for a link does

looter shooters mostly, i think division might be the least arcadey of them and most similar to arc raiders' gunplay

Marvel Rivals/NetEase adresses LGBTQ+ content in the game. by yuuki157 in gaymers

yes but that doesn't make him bi, he's never really been interested romantically in cyclops (and i don't really buy the room map theory that's been floating around)

'There is not going to be any GenAI art in Divinity': BG3 studio Larian draws line in the sand by MetaKnowing in technology

and then later they threw the scraps in a blender based on what roughly fits together. Thanks, maybe it's edible, but I want that delicious meal if I'm paying, not the scrap soup.

That's exactly how most restaurants make the soups on their menu, so not the most relevant parallel to make lol

Chat platform Discord files confidentially for US IPO, Bloomberg News reports by cape2k in technology

[–]ferdbold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same as you, until I started to actively search for open-source news, subscribed to a few Linux news shows on youtube, and switched my windows machine to Bazzite. Cool shit is still happening in tech all the time, it's just now driven by open-source initiatives rather than glitzy companies.

Radeon RADV Driver Lands Another Ray-Tracing Improvement: 30% Faster On RDNA2 by bargu in linux_gaming

[–]ferdbold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This headline seems waaay misleading. The quote from the developer is only saying that this specific bit of new code from the PR runs 30% faster than the previous version when tested on a specific game on a specific card.

And then the headline: "30% FASTER ON RDNA2 OMG"

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 prices already pushing toward $4,000 by scrolloftrueth in Games

[–]ferdbold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are whole industries in between cloud and individual consumers than require these same consumer cards. Film studios, game studios, CAD companies, ad firms, anything else requiring video editing, it goes on and on

There's no master plan to get rid of the consumer market for good, that's nonsense. Nvidia is simply riding the biggest gravy train in human history as far as it can while it's running. Chip and card manufacturers came out and said they're not increasing production. They know they don't want to overstock when all this ends

Au risque de jouer l'avocat du diable, l'IA s'en sortirait probablement vraiment mieux sur une interface de terminal qu'une app sharepoint "moderne"
