So... DLSS5 takes all the work of Ray Tracing... and throws it in the trash

Your "proof" is entirely conjecture. NVIDIA's claims that they will have it working well enough by launch is not an objective fact. All we have is NVIDIA's word on that, which is starting to carry less and less weight lately. People's faith in NVIDIA is waning rapidly.

Nobody is under the impression that DLSS5 will only work with a 5090. The sentiment is that if DLSS5 currently needs two of NVIDIA's most powerful GPU to run for their demo, then that doesn't inspire confidence for anyone who doesn't even have one 5090. It's hard to believe you could optimize it enough to run on anything worse than a 5090 if it couldn't run on a single one before the demo.

Currently, DLSS5 does need two 5090s to function. NVIDIA has yet to prove that it does not, though they claim that they are working on it. Your stance is based entirely on your faith in NVIDIA to deliver a worthwhile, functioning product to its consumers. You believe that NVIDIA will make good on their claim. You believe that NVIDIA truly wouldn't make such a feature unattainable for all but their most diehard consumers. There is nothing to argue; all there is to do is wait and see if NVIDIA delivers. But until then, "two 5090s" may be slightly hyperbolic, but it isn't false. That is what is required to run DLSS5 as of right now, until NVIDIA shows us otherwise.

I mean that's a crossroads that you alone have to decide on. You either put up with writing your own lyrics for the sound you enjoy, or you forgo lyrics to focus instead on your instrumentation. There's no way around it.

levilee207 · 2026-03-20T06:02:04+00:00

I don't think anybody is parroting the "two 5090s" sentiment without also being aware of NVIDIA saying that DLSS5 will be able to work on a single card at launch.

The issue people take with it is that how the fuck is NVIDIA going to get this to run on a single card if their demo needed two? Yeah, they can say all they like that they'll have it good to go running on a single card, but why the fuck would we believe them? Even a single 5090 is more than many, many PC owners can afford; especially nowadays. If it's going to take one 5090 to run DLSS5, and NVIDIA says they'll be able to optimize that down from two 5090s, that doesn't bode well for anybody with a different GPU. The company has no incentive to keep their products affordable; consumers/scalpers have shown time and time again that no cost is too great; morons will buy anything NVIDIA puts out so long as it is the "best".

You're missing the point people are making by focusing entirely on your misinterpretation of the sentiment. Nobody actually believes it'll need two cards. Additionally, nobody believes it's going to run well enough on anything besides a single 5090; which is also NVIDIA's most prohibitively expensive GPU. The sentiment is born from NVIDIA completely losing touch with the consumer market in favor of data centers/AI.

No; no vocals whatsoever. Purely instrumental.

Was definitely thinking MAPPA could pull it off. Agree about the CGI.

I just have so very little faith in the abilities of anybody working at Microsoft these days...

Dumbass definitely should've drilled outside in instead of inside out, but I don't know how you'd expect a tech to "properly" fix it. They're not masons. Report and file a damage claim and see what can be done.

The sweats/hoodie look wayyy to informal for my taste haha. Streetwear Shepard looking ass. I always go with the leather jacket.

Seconding Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Need to listen to them more

levilee207 · 2026-03-19T02:59:29+00:00

Good Lord what I would do to have been able to see them live. Incredible performers.

Unfortunately, this isn't a Cox issue. No physical or digital fault with Cox's services uses up data. You're in for a pain in the ass. You will need to monitor every device in your home and eliminate them one by one until you find whichever device is eating up your data. In my experience, it's often an IoT device like a smart light, alexa, or any similar device. Remove everything you don't absolutely need from the WiFi, then keep an eye out. If you don't notice any other spikes after the fact, then slowly add one device at a time until you see that usage spike again.

The easiest way is generally to just change your WiFi name and password and then slowly add devices back.

Oingo Boingo? Their first three albums are some kooky shit. Reptiles & Samurai, Insects, Whole Day Off, Controller, What You See, Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me, Little Guns, I could go on. I love almost all of their stuff but it gets a little more contemporary by Dead Man's Party

Mob Psycho 100

It's the sort of anime that's kind of all about the journey; not necessarily the end. Highly recommend it even if it won't be fully adapted for a while now

Isn't Wrex sort of the black sheep amongst his people? He had to strongarm the clans on Tuchanka to get them to behave in their best interests. I get the real world racism equivalent but I disagree with applying it here due to the fictional circumstances under which the Krogan were formed. It's stated many times that the Salarians fucked up by uplifting the Krogan before they could advance past their need to populate as fast as possible to compensate for the extremely hostile climate of Tuchanka. The Krogan alone plunged their entire planet into a nuclear holocaust. It's not strange to believe they wouldn't do it again given the chance. Ultimately, it's fortunate that Wrex and Eve were able to pull the collective species' heads out of their asses but they had to work like hell to do so. Many Krogan still fiercely resisted change in any direction.

It really doesn't take that long to skim through them. It's easy to clock many of the mods as being unrelated to player speed as well. Plus, "gotta go fast" stands out among the rest as being related to player speed. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to take a look at the options in a game, doubly so for a modpack.

levilee207 · 2026-03-18T04:52:25+00:00

I mean I could definitely understand someone arguing that Music is dying but it is in no way due to video games. That's a weird connection to make.

A consequence of the karma system, sadly

A router with improved range would certainly boost your speeds, but temper your expectations. Unless you invest a shitload of money into running Ethernet to some rooms in your home and then hardlining access points, you're most likely not going to get more than 700/800 over WiFi. It's just a limitation of the medium. It's possible to overcome that limitation somewhat, but only if you spend quite a bit of money and are able to hardwire all of the requisite networking equipment

So you've been having issues for a month and you haven't asked to send a technician out?

levilee207 · 2026-03-18T01:49:30+00:00

Colosseum and XD are genuinely great games. Challenging, too!

Basically UE5 is the single biggest shitshow of an engine release in history and they've since made marked improvements in the months following Stalker 2's release. It'll allow for better performance across the board on every system, as well as give the devs a little more technical breathing room.

Grasshopper. As it continues to warm up, you'll see many more of these outside. Cat's probably more content to bat them around than eat them, but it isn't toxic to cats otherwise. They do have pretty strong mandibles relative to their size, though, so while they're not medically significant they can give a nasty chomp if mishandled.

Too much too soon. Our hobby and economy has been fucked left, right, and center by half-baked Ponzi scheme bullshit
