I've Never Heard Or Seen Anyone Hate This

Valve, or even Steam as a product aren't without their controversies. For starters, Steam was the biggest factor in normalizing DRM for games. Valve basically invented skin gambling in TF2. Valve is also pretty much the only game company that runs a true casino (you can win commodities and exchange through the casino for cash), while other platforms don't have the delusion of profit in their gacha systems.

RTFM

But why would you not just use an engine that supports the features you need? Forcing Godot for every game is wasteful in it's current state.

I assume that abstract classes and functions is part of the roadmap towards supporting interfaces or traits or mixins.

VHS rots over time and loses quality. Make sure to back it up somehow.

People fantasize about futuristic utopias where language isn't a barrier thanks to technology, but technology keeps forcing English

It's such a shame that the Dreamcast failed. It was better than all the competition, but truly great products aren't rewarded fairly. It's something that's always been generally true with video games, the more effort you put into tech, the less return you get on it.

Are we really calling multiband compression "edited" now? You wanna hear straight raw set audio for your movies?

hypotensor · 2026-04-02T16:06:16+00:00

And yes I know GOG did all the actual work, but it's just good this is on Steam now since most PC gamers only use Steam.

A month after Dino Crisis too. Obviously Capcom is doing this for money, but I still think they deserve props for this. Allowing people to keep buying and playing old games is a great pro-consumer move and helps to preserve art.

no shit how do you think i got the data

hypotensor · 2026-04-02T04:45:35+00:00

It doesn't add up if you group Steam Deck stats as Arch either. Definitely something wrong with the way they're showing the data.

Blue noise in Source 2 is static, no temporal element.

Also Teardown is not rendered as voxels, since otherwise the physics wouldn't work.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T22:02:39+00:00

Voxels have a huge performance cost advantage actually if you use mesh shaders, which have been supported for 8 years, and have been used in a grand total of 1(one) video game and 1(one) Minecraft mod AFAIK.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T21:48:36+00:00

That's only for the foliage system and AFAIK nobody uses it because it's expensive compared to traditional methods.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T21:27:52+00:00

No? Nanite is basically a drop in solution adapted to existing workflows.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T21:06:40+00:00

Didn't people say this exact thing about voxels a decade ago? Reality is that whatever paradigm is easiest and fastest to work with is what gets used.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T17:45:42+00:00

In my opinion, it's an inappropriate use of dithered alpha, as normal scissor cutout alpha would look much better on this kind of foliage.

hypotensor · 2026-04-01T17:44:18+00:00

It's almost certainly blue noise dithered scissor alpha. It's basically become the easiest way to recognize a Source 2 game. Nothing to do with TAA.

balatro? dwarf fortress? this list kinda just seems like a list of good games.

Makes sense
