Same, he started out alright, and now him and his friends have all decided they are cooler than you, actually, are insanely pretentious, and they also seem to think they are something like indie film producers… everything is like 3 to 4x longer than it needs to be, overproduced and overwritten.
Oh and of course all the blatent sponsorships and ads, which are not ads actually, because, heh, trust me bro.
Bleck.
Basically, if any guntuber seriously says ‘Two guns is one gun, and one gun is no guns,’ they’ve fucking lost their minds and are now gunculture social media infuencers, competing in a popularity contest and occasional drama fights… they’ve lost the plot.

Wait so… his own brain isn’t antifragile (neuroplastic) enough to consider the idea that some other people his age have brains that actually are antifragile (neuroplastic)?
You could probably make a 5 or 10 minute sketch, for econ nerds, out of how absolutely absurd this is.

That pretty much describes my same reaction to almost all guntubers as well, lol.
On that note, RIP Paul Harrell, I suspect I would have disagreed with a good deal of his politics, but goddamnit if he wasn’t the most reasonable and processional FUDD who ever lived, I can’t actually tell what most of his were because he had actual fucking decorum and kept it as level as humanly possible.

- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 6 days ago:
When I went to install this latest version of DeckyFrameGen, it only went up to 11, in DeckyLoader.
The version that has the experimental FSR4 stuff is v11.5, could only be installed manually, via first downloading the zip from DeckyFrameGen’s github.
… Maybe this has changed in the last 12 ish hours?
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 6 days ago:
Ok, I misunderstood.
So, yes, if you already have Decky installed, then yes, you can install the plugin via its GUI.
But I am pretty sure you cannot install Decky, DeckyLoader… from game mode.
Thats what I was trying to say.
Also… if you are installing a plugin from a file, into Decky… you would have had to already download that file… and I am pretty sure, you’d have to that in desktop mode.
Anyway… yeah Decky isn’t included in a … holistic instruction set… probably because its generally assumed that if you’ve had a Deck for a while, you’ve already Decky installed for a while.
And because you…can… just link to the other instructions for Decky Loader itself.
Maybe they could change with an update? And then your holistic instructions would also need to be updated.
Also the install process for Decky can be different depending on what OS your Deck is running.
SteamOS? Bazzite? Nobara’s Deck edition?
I’m sure there are more than that.
… Are you really just annoyed that there is not one single set of instructions for you to follow?
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 6 days ago:
Because there is no way to install Decky from the game view itself.
Basically, think of it as a mod, or maybe a mod manager, but for the game view itself.
… Can you install a mod for Skyrim… from within Skyrim?
Probably not lol.
Yeah, you gotta go tinker with things in the background for the foreground to get a bunch of nifty new neat stuff.

Check the optiscaler github for a more detailed list of what games they have working with what upscalers.
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 6 days ago:
FSR is basically part of a software driver for a GPU.
FSR, XESS, DLSS (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) are all their software solutions for taking a lower resolution rendering of a video game, and upscaling it to a higher resolution.
They are all different in how exactly they do this, they all have different visual quirks, oddities, quality.
They are also all designed to work with their own hardware, primarily.
These realtime frame upscaling algos also usually come with an accompanying Frame Generator… which basically makes a ‘fake frame’ in between ‘real frame’ renders.
This can make your fps go up, but it can also introduce… weird kinds of input latency, other visual oddities, which will tend to be much more noticable and much worse for fast paced, competetive games, but is usually not a problem for slower paced, less intense games.
…
What Decky FrameGen does is… short version is that it takes a bunch of that kind of software and essentially hacks it into some games.
Each game is different, each kind of frame upscaler / frame generator is different.
Technically, Decky FrameGen is more or less just a front end to make this work easily on a Steam Deck interface.
Technically, its really pulling from Optiscaler, which is a collection of basically… video game / video driver modders / hackers.
They are writing and tweaking code so that things that should not officially work… do.
…
So… maybe think of this as a kind of very, very complicated mod for a video game… and your hardware.
lol
Also, when I say ‘hackers’ I mean that in the sense of … making things that shouldn’t work, work, not in the sense of bad guy bad person who is intentionally fucking up your shit in one or another.
…
As to how to use a frame upscaler?
The resolution you set for the game is the ‘target’ resolution. Say 1920 x 1080.
What the upscaler does, is render a frame at… 90%, 80% of that resolution, and then ‘upscales’ it to that full 100% resolution.
When you see modes like ‘Quality’ ‘Balanced’ ‘Performance’ ‘Ultra Perfomance’… basically, you’re going steadily downward to a smaller percentage of resolution that is actually rendered, and then upscaled.
So, a 100% … would basically just be equivalent to… not using an upscaler at all.
This all exists so that you can get more FPS than you otherwise could, for what is, in theory, supposed to be only a small degredation in visual quality.
The problem is that the degredation often ends up being fairly drastic, and the other problem is that… a whole lot of game devs just get or already sloppy, and now their answer to ‘why does this game run/look like garbage’ is ‘buy a graphics card that supports the upscaling tech we designed it for.’
…
Now to try to wrap that all around:
If you can hack in support for games and older hardware to run the upscalers, instead… well now, you may not need to actually buy the graphics card, because now, it might kinda work on what you already have.
Apologies for how long this explanation is, but this shit is just actually really complicated.
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 6 days ago:
For what its worth, I don’t think its a ‘whoops’ that FSR 4 works on older GPUs.
AMD has stated multiple times that they would/are pursuing getting FSR4 working on older GPUs… its just that they genuinely do not know if they could get it to work, in a reliable, ‘safe’, and useful way.
Better to underpromise and overdeliver, than vice versa.
I have no idea why the writer is describing the full source code for AMD’s SDK for FSR… being open source… I don’t know why they are describing this as an accident.
Am I missing something?
Their own older article links to the github page.
If it was an accident… they would have taken down the github page.
Again… am I missing something?
