whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool.
So what you’re saying is that the meme doesn’t work in German either, because the furniture in the meme would be referred to as a “Schemel” rather than a “Stuhl”
This meme is an abortion of human language smh
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 day ago:
I started using Lemmy like 2 years ago, stopped for a long time, and came back a few months ago. I’m sure something has changed in that time, but I don’t know what.
It could be because Lemmy is written in Rust, which is kind of notorious for how difficult it is to be productive in it. Or maybe it’s that there aren’t enough developers, or there isn’t enough funding.
In any case, my motivation to help fund this project is not helped by the insufferable cuntery of the tankies in the .ml communities. Knowing that the core devs are also tankies makes me want to see it fail. Fuck those people.

Late but I’m pretty sure it’s a byproduct of the RHLF process used to train these types of models. Basically, they have a bunch of humans look at multiple outputs from the LLM and rate the best ones, and it turns out people find lists easier to understand than other styles (alternatively, the poor souls slaving away in the AI mines rating responses all day find it faster to understand a list than a paragraph through the blurry lens of mental fatigue)

We’re both armchair lawyering, so I don’t feel like continuing this discussion. I’ll just quote a part of your comment that I think is silly, both in the claim that is being made, and the confidence with which it is being made:
So, as strange as it is to say, most uploaded videos of a game is in some murky legal territory.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 1 week ago:
I was being sarcastic, fuck big publishers and big tech (Bethesda is both now), pirate all their shit, and shit on the game online so other people don’t buy it.
Although I’ll admit I couldn’t wait, and bought the remaster as soon as I saw it. Oblivion is a special game for me, and this remaster definitely does not disappoint.

I’ll wait for a cracked version.
Piracy is bad! But just so you know there are already people downloading a cracked version of the game illegally today! Can you believe it?!

If something that would normally be copyrightable is leaked, then the only people who have legal rights to that work are still the original owners. Anyone taking/sharing it is breaching copyright.
It’s like you’re trying really hard to contort the discussion to make it seem like Nintendo has solid a case here. All the protections you’re talking about apply to works regardless of when or how they’re released. From the point of view of copyright law, a “leaked” recording of a game is no different from a regular recording of a game. Afaik, the guy in the OP isn’t being accused of sharing leaked game files.
If you’re trying to say that a recording of a video game is not considered fair use under copyright law, then I give you the existence of Youtube and Twitch as counter evidence.
I know some people have a misguided view…
Maybe, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here, unless you’re implying I have that misconception. If that’s the case, please point out which part of my comment lead you to this conclusion.

You’re actually unwell then. Seek professional help because Nintendo is not your friend. This is going to blow up in your face some day, and it is going to end poorly for you.
Mental health issues are complicated and suicide is awful, and idk you or your situation. Whatever happened, it’s good that you’re still here, but this religious devotion to a corporation is fucking disgusting. When you find out that Nintendo employees laugh at people like you during their lunch breaks, will you still feel like they’re your angels? How much labor have you given to them, both in the form of money you earned to buy their products, and online activity to defend their honor?
Don’t give yourself to a corporation like this. If you were saved, Nintendo weren’t the ones who did it.

I call Nintendo my angel of salvation and the mother I never had, but I’m just being realistic.
Upvoting just for this.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
This argument is nonsense. Why don’t they go after regular review channels and streamers? What difference does it make that the game is streamed before release vs after?
Nintendo isn’t your friend. Every minute you waste defending their honor online can instead be spent finding real friends IRL
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
So? Maybe there’s a case against him for regular piracy, but streaming a game pre-release doesn’t seem like anything remotely close to copyright infringement. If anything, it’s journalism and protected speech.
If a leak causes damage to Nintendo’s marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn’t have let it leak in the first place. That’s negligence on their part.
Of course idk the full story here. Not showing up to court and handing Nintendo a default judgement is stupid.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 1 week ago:
It always reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 1 week ago:
I loaded it up on my Deck last night for a few minutes using the default settings (low preset) and was getting what seemed like a stable 30 fps running around in Skingrad. Other people have reported sub-20 FPS when in the open world on the Deck, so it’s probably not the best choice unless they patch it
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 1 week ago:
Oblivion was the first game I ever put 100+ hours into, but every time I’ve tried to get back into it over the years, it was just too clunky and awkward. Bethesda games always age poorly.
But this remaster is fucking incredible and I very irresponsibly wasted an entire day yesterday playing it. They fixed and polished it so it feels like a modern game again. The only issue I had was poor performance in a lot of areas, like frequent drops down to 40 fps on my powerful PC. I’m hoping a patch will fix that soon.
Admittedly, my opinion is heavily clouded by nostalgia, so temper your expectations in case my comment actually convinces you to buy it. It’s a great game, but it’s smaller and somewhat clunkier than Skyrim.

I learned this fact when I decided to check my spam emails once and found one claiming they had a video of me performing onanism and would send it to my friends and family if I didn’t pay up.
Gave me the idea to explore languages on Google Translate until I found the one that produces the word “onanism” when translating to English. Then I could reply to the scammer in their native tongue for a reverse blackmail.

I think the anime people will instantly know they’re AI and think you’re just a coomer obsessed with anime titties in particular.

- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 4 weeks ago:
“perfect emulation”
With a setup like this, you can keep moving the goal post until you win all your little internet arguments. Personally, I’m not a fanboy for neither Nintendo nor Valve, so I really don’t care to get into this kind of atgument.
My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.
I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions)
The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 4 weeks ago:
The steam deck just barely emulates the switch
Wdym? Last I tried it, Switch emulation on the Deck was nearly perfect. I played the entirety of Metroid Dread on it with zero issues, and a couple of other games (Breath of the Wild, Smash, and Odyssey)
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 4 weeks ago:
Why not? Just because the Switch 2 can do 4k60 doesn’t mean it’s super powerful. Thd Switch 1 was obsolete when it launched, so a hardware upgrade over that could be literally anything. For reference, even the Raspberry Pi can do 4k60 nowadays.
Afaik, Switch 2 specs haven’t been revealed (have they?) so we don’t know yet what to expect, but considering it’s a handheld it will likely have similar power constraints to the Deck, possibly even more to achieve longer battery life. (But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade). As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.
The trailer mentions that the Switch 2 can do 4k60 when docked only on some games. Just knowing Nintendo’s cheap asses, I doubt you’ll get that from any significant 3D title. It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles. I doubt you’ll see that in the new Bloodborne, possibly not even 120 while in handheld either.

Huskies are great. Mine loses her shit if I even look at the leash, but she will not run out the door by herself. At worst, she’ll take a few steps out with her ears down (which is the sign that she knows she’s being bad), but then run back in as soon as I call her.
I didn’t train her at all, she’s just an unnaturally good girl for some reason.
- Comment on Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union 1 month ago:
This is one of those radical ideas that people are terrified of, because it would kill the business models of a lot of massive corporations. It’s easy to spin that as the death of the game industry, rather than what it is: the death of a business practice.
Like the laws against underage smoking probably wiped out billions in shareholder value, but that was objectively a good thing. Banning (or heavily regulating) in-game purchases would also be a good thing, no matter how much it affects existing players. If it leads to the death of name brands like EA, Ubisoft, etc. then who cares? The market will readjust and new players who were able to adapt to the changed environment will take their place.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 1 month ago:
“real time raytracing” as is advertised by hardware vendors and implemented in games today is primarily faked by AI de-noising. Even the most powerful cards can’t fire anywhere near enough rays to fully raytrace a scene in realtime, so instead they just fire a very low number of rays, and use denoising to clean up the noisy result. That’s why, if you look closely, you’ll notice that reflections can look weird, and blurry/smeary (especially on weaker cards). It’s because the majority of those pixels are predicted by machine learning, not actually sampled from the real scene data.
Blender/Maya’s and other film raytracers have always used some form of denoising (before machine learning denoising, there were other algorithms used), but in films they’re applied after casting thousands of rays per pixel. In a game today, scenes are rendering around 1 ray per pixel, and with DLSS it’s probably even less since the internal render resolution is 2-4x smaller than the final image.
As a technologist, I’ll readily admit these are cool applications of machine learning, but as a #gamer4lyfe, I hate how they look in actual games. Until gpus can hit thousands (or maybe just hundreds) of rays per pixel in real time, I’ll continue to call it “fake AI bullshit” rather than “real time raytracing”

The cost of DoF rendering far outweighs the memory savings of using reduced texture sizes, especially on older hardware where memory would be at a premium
