- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
There wasn’t really much of anything broken at launch. The updates added a couple of QOL changes but the gameplay was much the same. The „insta-fail“ stealth sections were trivial, not really instantly failable and low consequence but I get that the broader market doesn’t really want stealth games with any real consequences (there were similar complaints with a trivial stealth section in FFXIV).

I’ve worked in open plan offices my entire 20 year career and I yearn for the cheap fabric covered mines.

Finding out that he did a photo op tearing down homeless camps definitely vindicated my initial bad vibes.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
It’s amazing how Rockstar has gotten away with the same linear quest design with rigid boundaries for generations, thrown in a bunch of edgy boomer humour, and is the biggest media property of all time. No accounting for taste.
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
It still made more than most blockbusters could dream of. Literally the 16th highest box office ever. We’re definitely getting a 4th.

Where is this idea that game developers are all rich coming from? Artists in the industry don’t get paid much better than a retail wage and programmers could double their salary outside it.

I dunno, I could see Höcke (who we are legally allowed to call an actual Nazi) wanting to get really close with Trump, Thiel and co.

It’s all they have, as their entire society is so easily mockable. Give them a little pity.

The general public on games development. Sometimes even game developers on games development outside their usual sphere/scale. None of us are immune to Dunning-Kruger.

That would be Germans in my experience.
- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 1 month ago:
That’s not the claim of the article though. Avellone is ragebaiting in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. It’s an absurd claim to make in context - especially from a game/narrative designer.
- Comment on Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow' 1 month ago:
Cool but the narrative doesn’t have anything to do with technical expertise like Avellone is claiming. It was way more buggy than Fallout 3. and some of us are old enough to remember that.

Ah yes because F:NV was such a technical masterpiece. What a ragebait statement.

But if you’re even the slightest bit aware of statistics, near misses are exactly the same as complete misses. Seems strange that anyone educated falls for it. Desperation I can understand, especially these days when traditional ways of building wealth are almost as bad as just leaving cash under your mattress.

The most risk I ever take with my money is an indexed investment fund and even that feels a bit much at the moment.

Good instinct. Pirat_Nation is a grifter/ragebaiting account. No one should be giving him visibility.

- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 months ago:
This guy is clearly speaking from a place of technical ignorance. It can’t do any of that because it’s a screen-space post-processing effect that only works on final pixel colours and motion vectors. It does not have depth, material, or lighting information. It is purely a generative AI filter and in the demo gets so much wrong with the lighting and material properties. There’s one scene from the Hogwarts game where it turns a cast-iron cauldron into flat ceramic or plastic. It makes up reflections that are effectively screen-space because it can’t „see“ detail off screen and overrides actual RT reflections with them. It’s bad for faces and bad for backgrounds.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 months ago:
They already have the RTX Remix stuff but it’s a manual process because at least back when that technology launched, people at NVIDIA realised it needed a lot of human intervention.

It was also a work in progress. This was just meant to be colour blocking before details were added.

A tech YouTuber ended up following up with Nvidia engineers directly and it’s exactly like I said. Not even the depth buffer is part of the inputs.
- Comment on Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 2 months ago:
The inputs from everything Nvidia has said, are simply the final pixel colour values and motion vector information. It’s meant to sit in the same post-processing stack as the upscale. It’s effectively a screen-space post-processing filter over the final image. Nvidia have said that the artist controls are masking (blocking certain areas from it), intensity (so a slider value), and some kind of colour re-grading (since it destroys the original grading). It’s extremely limited.

Studio quality headphones tend to be a flat response curve, which is not what professional music producers master for - so no, that’s a poor argument.
