  Practically impossible for this developer? Maybe. Technically impossible? No.

  We do have realtime GI solutions which don’t require raytracing (voxel cone tracing, sdfgi, screenspace, etc). None of which require any ‘special’ hardware.

  Raytracing is just simpler and doesn’t need as much manual work to handle cases where traditional rasterisation might fail (eg; light leaking). But there’s not many things it can do which we can’t already achieve with rasterisation tricks.
  Raytracing is mostly useful for developers who don’t have the time/budget/skillset to get the same visual quality with traditional rasterisation.

  However, in an industry which seems to prioritise getting things released as cheaply and quickly as possible, we’re starting to see developers rely heavily on raytracing, and not allocating many resources into making their non-rt pipeline look nice.
  Some are even starting to release games which require raytracing to work at all, because they completely cut the non-rt pipeline out of their budget.

  So I’d argue that you’re incorrect in theory, but very correct in practise (and getting even more correct with time).

  Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to save money⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally understandable.
  Sounds like you have plenty of more important things to focus on right now.

  It probably sounds like I’m really trying to sell you on games now, but did you know there’s games and mods built specifically for blind people?
  I’m not saying you or your wife should play them, I just thought it was an interesting coincidence, as I’ve actually developed a couple of audio games before.

  Anyway, I’ll leave you to go focus on what matters, not my rambling or videogames.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to save money⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough.
  I’m not going to argue about what does or doesn’t appeal to you personally, and I know you probably didn’t list every single game you’ve ever interacted with, but it sounds like action-heavy games aren’t your thing?

  There’s plenty of puzzle games, and games that revolve around creativity though.
  Minecraft got insanely popular partially because it allows you to express so much creativity.

  If you consider giving games another chance, I would recommend the recently released indie puzzle game ‘blue prince’. It involves a lot of creative thinking to overcome its challenges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to save money⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kind of wild to me. There’s so many unique types of games, and not a single one interested you?
  That’s like not being interested in an entire media category.

  I can understand not relating to the gamer culture, but even my grandma games on her tablet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are most relationship counselors saying that though?
  Like you said, professionals can be wrong, but I’d still be interested in knowing what the general consensus is.

  I guess it’s hard to know without surveying them all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re really just sharing opinions though, not facts.

  I haven’t found any solid evidence that poly relationships are inherently more difficult or prone to failure than monogamous relationships. Long-lasting relationships are just hard in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there’s too many poly relationship structures to be able to generalise them all like that.

  There’s plenty of people who have open relationships, where two people have a very close relationship (sometimes married) but they aren’t sexually exclusive with each other.

  I’d also wager that some poly relationship structures would be more stable for lgbt people rather than heterosexual people, solely on the idea that everyone could participate more equally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming has a polarization problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

  I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
  Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.
