- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 5 days ago:
I’m fine with the concept of upscaling tech. DLSS 4 with the transformer model looks excellent. And FSR 4 is looking pretty damn decent as well. The earlier attempts weren’t as good. Ideally it would be acting more like DLAA, but 8.3 million pixels is a lot to render (4K). And if 8K is going to be a thing one day, it makes even more sense there.
I think too many people focus on the now and can’t imagine what things will be in the future as they progress.
Now frame generation, that one I feel less optimistic about. Especially when I see people using it for 60fps or less. It should really only ever be used at 80fps or higher, where the lag is less of a problem. But one day inferred frames, where it only looks at the prior frames and does not wait for the next frame, might make it a better experience.
Lastly, it’s NVidia and AMD’s marketing departments fault for having them all conflated. DLFG & FFG is what the frame gen tools should have been called, rather than shoehorning them under their super sampling and super resolution branding.

Such an infinitely quotable movie. Some of the humor doesn’t hit the same as when I was a teenager anymore, but I swear every single scene has at least one laugh in it.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 week ago:
My all-time favorites have been in place for many years now.
It’s a tie between Sonic 2 (Genesis) & Final Fantasy 6 (SNES).
They are two very different games that represent two different concepts in gaming. For Sonic it’s all about smooth, fun gameplay. With FF6 it’s all about the story and the experience of controlling an ensemble cast of characters. I can beat the first in under an hour, as while the latter usually takes 60+ hours. They’re like the yin and yang of videogames for me.

So…bad frame rates all around? 😓

I just learned that in Collective Soul’s Shine, he’s not saying “you haven’t let your light shine down”. But it’s actually a Jesus song and 'heaven let your light shine down." Over 30 years I was wrong lol

Fuck the Punk Rock MBA. He’s a goddamn poser and has publicly admitted he never listened to most of the bands he talked about

- Comment on Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors? 2 months ago:
He’s probably referencing the tech we already saw a few years back where the game would render incredibly simple untextured geometry, then the gen AI reskins it to look like a realistic video
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Patch 2.21 2 months ago:
And yet still no official support for PS5 Pro smh
- Comment on We need more turn-based RPGs 3 months ago:
4 of those are remakes. And Fantasian came out in 2021, it’s just now getting ported to other platforms.
Also Metaphor is only half-turn based, you only directly control one character.
Like a Dragon is the only one I would actually count in such an argument

- Comment on Tune in tomorrow for a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny 6 months ago:
PS5 came out in 2020, PS6 is expected in 2028 or ’29. We’re right at the half way point. Seems about just right really
- Comment on Predictions for the next Xbox in 2026 7 months ago:
Well, I mention that type of psuedo console device within the video. But I think it’s going to be a third option.
But yes, if Valve came out with their own full fledged console, the Xbox would have a big problem. And it’s the operating system they fear the most. If SteamOS picks up traction beyond just the SteamDeck, Windows is in trouble

- Comment on After three hours of Bloober's Silent Hill 2, it's unclear who is remaking who 7 months ago:
This is a news article, not an art project. Really poor decision for the writer
- Comment on After three hours of Bloober's Silent Hill 2, it's unclear who is remaking who 7 months ago:
Did an AI write this? Completely mixing up history and the present in the same sentence
Developed well over two decades ago, the original Silent Hill 2 is the magnum opus of Polish horror stalwarts Bloober Team. Running on then-innovative “Unreal Engine 5” technology created by Jazz Jackrabbit publishers Epic MegaGames, it’s a wonderful abyss of a game that remains perfectly playable today,
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 7 months ago:
Huh. I am that guy and was not aware some GC Color games would do that. Never had one, always thought of the Color as the first Pro model rather than its own generation.
But it’s neat to hear they did that because it matches up with my assumptions about how it may be handled
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 7 months ago:
Oh yeah, a patent isn’t definitive proof of anything. The housing could potentially be different, but the pin out would be pretty well defined here. I’m inferring a lot on this one

- Comment on What the Switch 2 has to get right 8 months ago:
Well I can’t fit a whole paragraph into a title. “This” is multiple things. It you want to know what “this” is, you’ll have to watch it. If you don’t care, then simply don’t click it
- Comment on What the Switch 2 has to get right 8 months ago:
“content of dubious value or interest”. So no. This is not click bait.
I care deeply about the topic and put a lot of effort into this video. If you’re not interested, that’s not the same
- Comment on What the Switch 2 has to get right 8 months ago:
What’s click bait about it? The whole thing is about the words you were presented with. Click bait is tricking you with something other than it said it was going to be
