- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 week 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.

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 1 week 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.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 week ago:
It’s a post-processing screen space effect. At that point, there’s zero control the game can have over the geometry. If the AI model wants to change it, it can. It fundamentally can’t only operate on lighting like the marketing claims, it can only make a hallucinating best-effort statistical guess at what the geometry in the final image should be.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 week ago:
So this dumb fuck’s own marketing material has said this operates off final pixel colour and motion vectors (for temporal stability presumably) - that says to me that it’s not working with actual geometry info at all. It probably has a step to infer geometry but it’s still just a fancy Instagram filter working with limited data and an obviously ill-suited training set.

Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.

If I saw this in The Met, which I’ve visited but this wasn’t on display at the time, it would have stopped me in my tracks even as a TTRPG player. It would feel very anachronistic amongst most of the displays.

It’s definitely doable but I won’t pretend it’s a pleasant process compared to what people are used to with Windows modding, and Wine overhead can mean a large unoptimised mess of Stardew Valley/Rimworld/Skyrim mods are going to perform worse.

Status LEDs/displays likely won’t work unless the manufacturer makes a Linux driver, publishes driver documentation, or it’s a super popular device. Reverse engineering USB is possible but very much a passion project. Most gamer hardware hasn’t had to care about Linux users till the last few years. Input devices at least are usually normal HID devices which are standardised.

That’s a difficult one. Due to their target audience, a lot of them are more focused on storytelling (usually limited gameplay and more reading along in a choose your own adventure style) for a single player. What you’re describing is a bit of an untapped market, but give F95zone.to a look and you might find something. It’s a site dedicated to collating freely available adult games (with ways to support the authors linked). It’s where a lot of the games OP talks about found their audience.

I was going to mention The Last Sovereign in this thread. It’s a little bit hard to recommend because it’s like, barely modified RPG maker sprites and some serviceable art for sex scenes, along with the difficulty. However that game is a damn magnum opus.

I just finished what exists so far for The Princess Trap last night. I have to recommend holding off on it till it’s finished so you don’t end up in as much despair as me.
