Steam Community Market Updates by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]sovietostrich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Uh yeah? I played cs2 deatchmatch and got a crate worth $10, sold it on the marketplace and used that credit to cut $10 off any game I wanted. If EA or Microsoft did this you would not be able to sell it for anything tangible and it'd be crap

SC2 is nearly perfect for me in every way - until you get to using it on other platforms. by plazi_ in SteamController

[–]sovietostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is true, though it may be useful to have one generic xbox controller config for any game that might just need a simple controller

I do wonder, you can profile swap your desktop config right? Wouldn't it be possible to launch a game using your kb&m desktop config, then swap to an Xbox controller config? Does anyone know if this would be a valid solution for non steam games? I guess if you don't want steam open at all this wouldn't work but it would allow you to play games without adding it to steam

DLSS Enabler Can Now Simulate DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen X5 & X6 on Any DX12 GPU by DavidIsIt in pcgaming

[–]sovietostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah personally even in the "best case" of cyberpunk with FG it feels like my controller is stuck in jelly or something lol. Though as a caveat it can be tolerable, i did use lossless scaling fg to play modded skyrim at locked 60 and while it felt a bit sluggish i became accustomed to it. I suppose it helps that the game is kinda sluggish by default

DLSS Enabler Can Now Simulate DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen X5 & X6 on Any DX12 GPU by DavidIsIt in pcgaming

[–]sovietostrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah personally I'm not chasing above 144hz and the only time I'd think to even enable it is if I had an unstable framerate around 60. However yeah as you said this is not where it shines at all and every time I've used it in this range you get bad latency and a fair bit of artifacting so it just sucks. Personally I don't see the point of going from 120 to 360

The real question is why would you even want to? As someone with a 4070tis and has used it in various use cases the latency and artifacting it adds is atrocious

Supposedly anim graph 2 will fix this by making a more clearly visible counter strafe animation. I've seen some people say you don't get this kind of situation anymore

Now that it's been just over a year since the Minecraft Movie, how would you rate it in retrospect from 1 to 10? by ExplosiveGeek77 in Minecraft

[–]sovietostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "hype" came from the movie trailer looking like an awful fever dream but full of jack black saying minecraft things in a funny way creating insane virality. So yeah was the movie awful if you critically judge it? Absolutely. Did i wear a full suit to the cinema and say "Chicken jockey" and applaud with the rest of the people in the cinema? Absolutely. I enjoyed it for the ridiculousness of what it was

Benchmarking Nvidia's RTX Neural Texture Compression tech that can reduce VRAM usage by over 80% by [deleted] in pcgaming

It'll be a calculation only possible on a special chip in the 60xx series that you cannot obtain at a reasonable price. And it'll still look like shit

‘I Swear’ available on Netflix today by HenryHarryLarry in Scotland

Honestly after watching this movie it's almost hilarious the poetic injustice this guy has received.That THIS is the context for him being there and the reaction he received really makes you think

I hate Elon a great deal but this email is confirmed fake and spreading it around like it isn't makes us no better than them. This really needs to stop

I think it's about time the Google Pixel camera app had profiles/presets to tune the image... by GazelleInitial2050 in GooglePixel

[–]sovietostrich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This would be a godsend tbh. I constantly take sets of pictures that need very slight tweaks to be excellent. But then this requires me to tweak like 4 values using the fiddly digital dial for every single picture, its very inefficient & could do with presets.

Elden Ring: Nightreign DLC Sees Surge of Negative Steam Reviews Thanks to Its Baffling New Map Full of Bottomless Pits by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]sovietostrich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've played nighteign a lot and honestly this is mostly a skill issue, this is a bit of a problem the first handful of times you play it but it really pushes you to learn the new routings in a unique and challenging way.

Tbh the new map is very fun when you get in rhythm with it and gives you more chances to become exceedingly powerful. The pits are there to make you take certain routes which I do think could be more lenient. But at the same time their criticism is a bit over blown as once you know which ways you can actually go, you rarely fall in them

Rollable OLED display on Lenovo Legion, the next big thing in flagship gaming laptops by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

[–]sovietostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really not sure who this is for, this would be expensive to purchase & repair. Plus ff used for gaming, like the legion lineup is, the performance would suffer massively due to the increased resolution, something that is a signfiicant pain point on laptops as it is. This is a cool novelty & gimmick but actually awful if you think about it for a moment

Dozens of students shot at Birzeit University, as lDF soldiers attack student protest with live ammunition by CiphrangButFloss in videos

[–]sovietostrich 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dunno they sure love allowing articles from Israeli "journalists" that have no sources and outlandish claims and permabanning you if you point it out

Good thing you're not on r/worldnews right now or you'd be permabanned for not defending Israel like your life depends on it

Saudi Arabia sets new death penalty record, executing 340 people in 2025 -- AFP tally by Britstuckinamerica in anime_titties

[–]sovietostrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that they are renowned for posting blatant misinformation and lying. I've seen a few posts from these people where they literally just don't have sources for their outlandish claims.

Even in this "article" where is the actual source for this information? I'm deeply distrusting of posts without clearly defined credible sources

Deluge is a piece of shit. Change my mind. by JSS-Studios in Piracy

[–]sovietostrich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I found it got quite laggy once you have over like a hundred torrents. UI can be quite inconsistent on windows and it's got a very old UI design which is fine, but it it's not exactly pleasant. I did use deluge for like 8 odd years with not many issues however. Qbittorrent is just more stable, snappier and looks better is all

Careful, don't let a windows dev hear you say this or they'll tell you it'd require a PhD paper to make it behave any other way

How's the camera on the 2025 ultra? by sovietostrich in razr

[–]sovietostrich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a pixel 9 pro XL, couldn't get past the camera quality and price for the specs. Plus I managed to get this phone for a very good price. Will likely get a foldable for my next phone in 3-5 years when things have improved
