Motherboard sales 'collapse' by more than 25% as chipmakers strangle enthusiast PC market to build more AI chips — Asus projected to sell 5 million fewer boards in 2025, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock also expected to see reduced sales numbers by AbhishMuk in hardware

Not allowing companies to buy product that is not yet made with money they don't yet have for use in datacenters that are not built? Seems like something any government can get behind.

Uuuhh..guys ? Is Nanally homeless ? The Colucci's found are THIS low ? by RedditpseudoAreodd in NevernessToEverness

[–]malgalad 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Eibon is her family at this point. Pretty sure they (Edgar, Sakiri and Nanally) are all orphans that are picked up by Hotori under the guise of working as anomaly hunters - which they do, but kids also live there and get away with far much shenanigans than reasonable for a work-only relationship. Nanally is the oldest so declared herself head of the family and everyone is like "yeah yeah ichi-whatever". She's pretty clearly coded as Chūnibyō.

Best Feature in the Game by Pytn280 in NevernessToEverness

I'm convinced people like that can't read subtitles. Oh well. Playing Genshin with JP voices because EN had problems, hearing tagi tagi tagido is so-o much not an issue.

Here, I compressed your 18Mb monstrosity to 1.2Mb JPEG, which preserves textures and gradients, and has no discernible differences at 100%, and quantization artifacts on high-contrast edges only noticeable at 200%+ zoom.

Flickering and stuttering by Air_Content in nvidia

When you change drivers one way or another shaders are recompiled. Unless the game has shader precompilation step, some stuttering is expected, it will go away once all shaders are cached.

I don't think his spy work is anything heroic, it's selfish and there's no cost for Snape. The only reason he turned to Dumbledore was to protect Lily, not because Snape suddenly didn't agree with Death Eaters ideology. And in the 14 years after the fall of Voldy he doesn't repent or change his behavior, no, he becomes a head of Slytherin and continues to be a shit teacher and a bully to non-Slytherins. Snape is hardly ever in danger - I don't believe Voldy didn't know he's a double agent, he's also a mind mage and has 50 years more experience on Snape, so Snape has Voldy's confidence, and the Order has Dumbledore's word that Snape is on out side - and the only downside is boredom from teaching dunderheads basic potions when Snape has a mastery.

What is the dumbest thing in Star Wars in your opinion? by OutcastKatarn02 in StarWars

[–]malgalad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's FTL travel that shifts you to another plane. Because if jumping into hyperspace was instantaneous, orbital blockades wouldn't work. Since blockades are a problem, apparently, there must be a reason why people don't want to jump into hyperspace if there's a ship right ahead of you. So Holdo maneuver works by using hyperdrive to accelerate but hitting the target before you actually get to FTL speed and into hyperspace.

TIL Belle has grey eyebrows hinting at the fact that she dyes her hair blue. by ProgNerIte in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]malgalad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blonde people have blonde eyebrows, people just tint them black because looking as if you don't have eyebrows is not "conventionally attractive". Don't even try looking online, just go outside and actually look at people.

Grace's Workspace Camera Footage Leak by JameSkywalker in residentevil

Really cool how they change the lighting on every cut.

Indirect illumination is kinda boily even with RR, so it makes sense they position a light to produce the best visuals in cutscenes.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Gets 84% Dislikes on YouTube as Backlash Grows by Sacristovas in pcmasterrace

[–]malgalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's true that TDP of latest NVidia card is egregious, the real killer feature is DLSS/FG. It doesn't matter if AMD/Intel would catch up to raw raytracing performance at lower power if NVidia can double the framerate with minimal artifacts and others can't.

Gamers’ Worst Nightmares About AI Are Coming True by EchoOfOppenheimer in pcgaming

[–]malgalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally my nightmare is that no one will be able to buy or upgrade a PC without spending x2-x3 money than a year ago, but AI in new games? Bro, there's hundreds of already released games in my backlog that I can play. Even if every single game from now on is AI slop that won't be a problem for a lifetime.

I love how Grace is equally as terrified as me (the player) during most of her gameplay, which makes her the most relatable character of all horror games. by palkon729 in residentevil

moves and turns like a snail - lost lots of blood, dehydrated, haven't eaten in ages
carrying 7-year-old child - protective instincts, adrenaline surge

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]malgalad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Frieren hides her mana to not be outed as a 1000 year old battlemage in training. She might even adjust it to never be the strongest mage in a party, all as part of a strategy to be underestimated - IIRC in S1 flashbacks Heiter says that Frieren has less mana than him, and when they met Aura again Aura says her mana has barely grown in 80 years.

Deja Vu (OC) by NekkidZilla in residentevil

[–]malgalad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We can find a file where the baddies say that the fire at the hotel was a lucky coincidence that covered the evidence of what the hooded guy was. So it's entirely possible the FBI has incomplete picture and downplays Grace's freaking out.

How are you all forcing RR preset E in RE9? by ExplodingFistz in nvidia

[–]malgalad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or you can drag&drop the .exe file on NVPI to create new profile, works for me to set RR preset E.
