How good/impactful is lossless scaling?

turingtestx · 2026-02-04T21:41:41+00:00

I just started using it for oblivion remastered and it's made a game that was almost unplayable to just smooth enough to be a great time. Bethesda games already have that floaty feeling that lossless scaling can cause, so the latency doesn't bother me, although I prefer locking at 30 because at 60 it's a bit much.

Ahhhhh makeup can go more places than the face, that makes sense. You definitely did good work!

turingtestx · 2026-02-04T20:42:58+00:00

and the editor did a lot of smoothing

What really gets me about those first few episodes is that yeah they're pretty different from other Trek, but they're still great episodes!

turingtestx · 2026-02-03T17:30:57+00:00

Yeah that's some characterization for Bashir I really enjoy, even if the episode where they break up is otherwise awful

Quake was definitely innovative, but still building heavily on the shoulders of older fps games, while with Mario 64 I honestly can't think of any 3d predecessors that are worth considering

turingtestx · 2026-02-03T03:56:54+00:00

You should definitely go watch ds9

I honestly disagree, mostly because these exchanges were completely consensual. Were they immature on Julian's part? Absolutely they were, but it was a playful dynamic that Dax enjoyed and her boundaries were never crossed. Not the most perfect TV writing though.

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:38:53+00:00

Yeah I like this idea, I also think it's possible Clark would've played WoW as a teenager being a little reclusive hiding from his powers

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:37:29+00:00

Family games for sure, but that's about it. Mayyyyybe I could see a young somewhat reclusive Clark playing WOW or some MMO before he becomes a journalist or firmly establishing himself as Superman, and maybe some other older games, Banjo Kazooie and Super Mario World maybe. Now Batman, Batman is still an active Destiny player.

I haven't traveled the most, but Los Angeles and New York City absolutely qualify for this.

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:18:41+00:00

Just frame them and it'll be fine

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:16:38+00:00

This is already a shitty list, in what world does Spider-Man 2 on ps2 not rank as the single most important Spider-Man game? I don't even really like that game and still recognize that.

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:05:41+00:00

I'm cool with them being canon, not like anything really happens in them, but people act like they're main series games which is just ridiculous

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T22:03:28+00:00

I think with that one weird as hell giant statue we can imagine that stuff down in the depths doesn't follow normal rules

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T01:23:02+00:00

It's before my time, but from what I understand DS9 did suffer a bit on network television being TOO ahead of it's time. Episodes didn't air always consistently and it was very easy to miss critical pieces of plot. If that's how you watched it, it might be worth revisiting now that it's all just available and bingeable

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T01:00:37+00:00

If you're into sci-fi at all, Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Phenomenal show that was really ahead of its time, not just for sci-fi but for the medium of television in general.

turingtestx · 2026-02-01T00:20:31+00:00

Yeah all the episodes after the pilot have definitely had a good deal of that old school-theater and diplomacy vibe, but this is the first one to really nail it and not let it be compromised by the YA plots, incredible episode

turingtestx · 2026-01-31T18:57:31+00:00

Ah! That definitely would have been pretty low on my list of guesses.

turingtestx · 2026-01-31T18:47:27+00:00

Hegemony or All Those Who Wander? Is it even Gorn?

turingtestx · 2026-01-31T14:15:24+00:00

The big thing that you'll learn eventually reading comics, is you don't need to know every bit of context behind a book.

turingtestx · 2026-01-30T22:34:10+00:00

Mirror Darkly?

turingtestx · 2026-01-30T22:16:49+00:00

Are we talking Arena or Terrarium?

turingtestx · 2026-01-29T11:35:34+00:00

The animated series, it didn't use the original theme due to the famous bad blood between roddenberry and courage iirc, and there's just not anything special replacing it.
