- Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 5 days ago:
Tried the demo. Its 42gb to download, lmao. Its UE5. It runs like ass. Like my 5800X3D and 6900XT combo isnt the very best anymore. But it can handle every big AAA game with gorgoues graphics just fine. But Bus Bound seems to be the limit. Better upgrade to a 5090. Seriously i barely hit 60 fps on medium(without lumen) and upscaling. The artstyle pf the game doesnt even shine even on ‘epic’. But on medium it looks like 10-15 year old game and runs like ass. Also TSR/FSR/DLSS/XESS is a must. If you atleast want a clean image with low graphics: though luck. Temperal artifacting and smearing are on the table. Now eat shit.
The intro of the game is super low budget which isnt an issue but isnt a plus either. Driving physics are so barebones that i feel like its a barely touched UE5 premade physics asset. Collisions are laughably bad and worse then a lot of the PS1 racing games i played a few months back(this isnt an exaggeration). One time the busses(eseses?) collision box got stuck in the asphalt of a (slight) downward slope and the physics exploded. Amateur hour.
Now to the positives: The game made me finally read into getting Optiscaler running on Linux to spoof FSR4 on my RDNA2 card. Its pretty solid for an upscaler. I will try it now with Control where the image quality always bothered me.
Anyway: Fuck RPS and Saber Interactive for their misleading little adverticle.

You pay more for less so the numbers go up.
Its just not you numbers.
Ditch your friends and play incremental games instead, i guess.

Why did i never came across this masterpiece?
Ooooh, because its the gayest movie i’ve ever saw. Its gay af.But yeah, it holds up. Had a blast watching it after the trailer. It has the german je sais quoi i normally miss in german productions. Just the way people talk is already fucking refreshing. Its still scripted but not that stilted ‘TV-language’ nobody talks like in RL which surely is a phenomenon you know of from your mothertongue.
Apart from that its a greatly crafted intentional B-Movie with great sets, camera work, lighting, acting, premise, characters and script. IDK how the comedy hits for non-germans since its very german coded. But in a good way. Just tons of tiny tidbits of relatable punches at our culture unlike seen almost all of the time on our linear tv screen.
Oh yeah, motherfucking H.R. Giger was creative consultant on this movie. Like whaaaaat?! Also seeing fucking Iris Berben in this movie and ham her acting up to a perfect level was insane. Like i dont give a shit about the german movie landscape but Iris Berben is a name even I recognize.
Anyway. 9/10 Movie. Thanks @CubitOom@infosec.pub

Why did i never came across this masterpiece? This might be very best trailer for a german movie i have ever seen. I hope the movie itself lives up to the trailer. Must be atleast a decade i was excited to see a german movie.
Thanks. Gonna check it out.
- Comment on does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded? 2 weeks ago:
But YT definetly fucks something up when stable volume is enabled. My non audiophile ass can notice it instantly even with podcasts. It sounds significantly worse.

Nothing but to agree. But we are way past the point of facts. This fallacy implies just projection of your own competency onto morons who just dont care. Your enemy doesnt care.

- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 5 weeks ago:
Since i saw that gameplay footage which was released like somewhere in the last 5 years its all i can think about when Sq42 is in the news again. Until that point i just hoped that maybe somehow someday an unpolished but interesting game will come out. But that footage looked so unfun and ass after ~10 years of development i lost all hope.
- Comment on have some standards 5 weeks ago:
I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.
Like dont get wrong i'm fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i'm not interested either way.

- Comment on The Making of Wolfenstein - Noclip Documentary 1 month ago:
As a longtime and somewhat dedicated but casual viewer i wasnt even awere of that fact.
But i still think getting onsite acccess to devs comes with compromises. Which still is legit. But i(!) still feel it comes with some constraints. Otherwise we would see nothing tbh IMHO.
- Comment on The Making of Wolfenstein - Noclip Documentary 1 month ago:
My biggest gripe with noclip is that their documentaries feel just a tad too corporate. Like i'm(!) personally(!) convinced some money was exchanged between the dev/publisher to make these docs happen. (allegedly, no proof, vibes)
BUT(!!) idk how else you would get that close access to the stories they like to tell. Also they're really fucking good at telling and surfacing stories in these tight constraints tbh. If you're not a particular fan of topic they cover it can feel sometimes a bit 'shilly'. But if you are in some capacity fan they always give you some really cool insights into the development of 'your' game. Danny O'Dwyer is a fucking magician in that regard. I never feel cheated besides the thoughts in my first sentences in my post.
