More like “blatantly outright wrong ‘solutions’”.

Maybe? Someone better acquainted with the show/manga would be better able to say with any certainty, but my thought was that this was the result of multiple takes to get the most accurate attempts.

Why slop? Using a service contributing excessive harm to the very thing he’s spent his life promoting. Not very appropriate.
- Comment on Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th - Steam News 3 weeks ago:
Instead of having people frantically trying to beat robo-scalpers through a system (predictably) crashing through surge of demand, people would get into the queue and scalpers would have had no incentive to exploit FOMO that wouldn’t exist. There probably would’ve still been a tech issues at the start, but it would’ve smoothed out on it’s own instead of having people wonder for a week if they’d be able to even submit an order, hoping they don’t miss the next announcement (which I almost did).

The was absolutely a queue.
Source: I was in it.
- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 3 weeks ago:
People got errors during the check out,
And? With the queue, people were able to continue submitting orders as things calmed down. There will always be a rush to be first. The queue handles it better by not outright denying those who didn’t make it in right away. This also reduces the FOMO that funds scalpers’ abuse of the system.
As for account age, it doesn’t really matter when it is set at - any limitation reduces the number of bots able to spam real users out of a purchase. Admittedly, that only really helps if there’s also a limit on number of units bought, which I don’t think was implemented this time, either, for whatever reason.
- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 3 weeks ago:
They did a hardware launch perfectly for the Deck - Account of minimum age needed, and a queue to buy as devices became available. Why the hell did they go with the old, shit version that only serves scalpers that use bots to scoop up every item?

- Comment on Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad? 1 month ago:
All these concern trolling articles about Valve’s “monopoly”. We never get this shit about Youtube, Windows, local ISPs and other utilities, etc. Super subtle, guys.

- Comment on Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 2 months ago:
I can fault them for choosing to push the button and for just accepting that the result is “pretty” without rebuke. For defending the end result against those of us criticizing it. The companies may be responsible for the pushed adoption of this ridiculousness, but people are the ones happily going along with it and actively defending it.
- Comment on Digital Foundry's Video Follow-up to DLSS 5 is Much More Nuanced 2 months ago:
People that issue death threats for shit like this are absolute trash excuses of humans. That said, DF is trying to double-dip here, sychopantically hyping a product unreservedly and then acting like they still have the credibility to act like objective critics. What a joke.
- Comment on Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 2 months ago:
That’s unfortunately a lot of people going by the amount of “fixed” (ie slopppified) art and photos I see going around online.
- Comment on Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5 2 months ago:
That said, theres been so much focus on how it looks. IMO, its completely overblown, especially when all of this needs to be manually configued on a game-by-game basis. Devs can tweak the settings to their own preferences, and make things more or less extreme.
It’s wild that every defense of this garbage is “Just have devs spend even more time finetuning for this.” Yes, let’s double (or more) the workload of workers that are already overworked and crunched beyond reason, all for a “feature” that looks like garbage in it’s showcase demo and is so resource intensive that very few users will be able to utilize it, if they even want to.

a consumer GPU
That’s a stretch for a demo that’s using two GPUs working in tandem that each cost roughly a month’s salary of a US worker ($3k).

Good point. I was too distracted by the shadows/reflections on the ground appearing and disappearing for no discernible reason to notice much else in that shot.

That made me laugh. New to me, but that has to have been done already, right? I mean, the “jack off” joke is right there.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 months ago:
I hope so. They’re going to be responsible for maintaining the art while we weather through this shit storm. Hopefully it all falls apart soon.

You joke, but this is actually something people are trying to do.

Was able to brace myself enough to skim through the video. Anyone that watches those clips and thinks that looks better has no place working on anything related to visual tech. Not only is the interpolation obvious and distracting, every scene, no matter the time of day, location, or anything else, has the exact same shitty lighting that washes out every shadow and color painstakingly added to the scene by actual professionals. Pro-tip: A white-balanced image is the starting point, not the end-goal. Making every game look exactly the same is fucking terrible, you hacks.
I can only hope this shit only finds its way into the AAAA dross that’s not worth playing already.
