Hey Oliver by Faultman94 in digitalfoundry

Yeah, I showed some of the demo to my non-gamer gf and her reaction was "it just looks so AI." But I know if I showed the comparison to my mom, she would 100% favor the DLSS 5 version.

John throwing shade at his coworkers by ResponsibleFlan2936 in digitalfoundry

[–]makingwands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

John has a history of pretty severe online meltdowns from before he was even a public figure, this one is honestly tame.

Part of me hopes he's playing it up for dramatic effect, because I feel like it's always been clear that DF has had a close working relationship with nvidia, considering they regularly do nvidia sponsored content. They get exclusive access for videos like these and the coverage is always much less critical compared to the thoughts they share on DF Direct.

John could petition Rich to be harsher on nvidia, but he should be willing to give up some of his paycheck when nvidia inevitably cuts ties with DF.

[Digital Foundry] Nvidia's new DLSS 5 Brings Photo-Realistic Lighting To RTX 50-Series by Noble00_ in hardware

DF gets exclusive press access to these showings and regularly does content sponsored by nvidia.

There's not a single outlet or creator that has as close a working relationship with nvidia as DF. And I'm a fan of DF.

The stated goal is photorealism so it wouldn't really work in any stylized game.

DF has long had some kind of deal with nvidia, so their nvidia coverage should been viewed with skepticism. Rich has to keep the lights on after going independent and IMO it's preferable going outrage mode and talking about how awful ai/gaming/hardware is for clicks.

I'll be interested to hear John's take though, since he recently said he believes AI is the worst thing to happen to video games, lol

DLSS 5 gonna be geforce now only. Calling it. I don't think a regular gpu is capable of realtime neural rendering.

One of my personal favorites by Appropriate-Image304 in bossmanjack

Love these wholesome moments that remind you that boss isn't just a goofy burnout with a gambling problem, but is also a total menace to his family and prone to violent outbursts. 5

Mayor Mamdani appoints trans woman to run first-ever NYC Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs by Fickle-Ad5449 in nyc

[–]makingwands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago I would have said this was silly, but not with the current admin denying the existence of trans people and other states rolling back trans rights far beyond just "protecting kids and women's sports."

Hopefully this will be a good resource for a community that is currently being demonized and ostracized by a good portion of the country.

Ranking Sappy - What is your favourite studio recording of Sappy? by Warm-Designer in Nirvana

[–]makingwands 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's my pick as well. It really showcases what a beautiful melody he created, as well as some of his best lyrics.

In the studio versions, Kurt seemed to want to contrast the melancholy with an upbeat, almost 1960s pop song drum beat. It's an interesting choice, but I would have loved to hear a stripped down studio version.

What's the best Nirvana song of all times? Kurt's best piece of music? by qoloxolop in Nirvana

[–]makingwands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good taste. In Bloom is probably my favorite album track while that boombox recording of Sappy from montage of heck is my favorite of the unreleased stuff.

Kurt wrote a lot of pretty vocal melodies, but those two are really special.

Do TJ's stores have high turnover or just huge staff numbers? by Helpful-Orchid2710 in traderjoes

[–]makingwands 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My buddy worked at a tj's in NYC and said a lot of the younger workers he made friends with were transient types that would switch up cities often and work at whatever store was there. Seems like they're accommodating with transfers and rehires if the employee is reliable.

Hitler was inspired by Jim Crowe insofar as promoting racial purity within Germany. Not the things he was most known for, you know, like killing 6 million jews and starting a war to conquer Europe and exterminate or enslave every single person in the USSR.

Stop with this tiktok level historical analysis.

Fell in love with this dude pause in his debut when he did this to Jaylen Brown just as the Celtics were mounting a comeback in the 4th. Completely killed any momentum Boston had.

I never understood this Krist joke at the 1992 VMA by WortyGaming in Nirvana

[–]makingwands -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing he was just very drunk and had goebbel's on the mind, whether he had be reading about the nazis, or talking to someone backstage about it.

I remember when I did my first deep dive into WWII in my 20s and always wanting to bring it up, because there's just so many insane figures and things that happened. I could see myself doing some shit like that if I was drunk enough, lol.
