  I mean look it might become a useful tool in the future, not denying that. But what we are seeing is DLSS5 being shoved into a lot of mainstream games as a replacement for polish. We can let the big studios drive themselves into the ground chasing profits and slapping on whatever new tech they think will give them a sales boost, no complaints here.

  But as it stands it’s a capability that’s over hyped for what it is, like you said yourself, art teams aren’t using it as part of their art direction so it’s clashing with the designs, and the hardware level barrier for entry isn’t worth the money it costs to get there.

  That’s all subject to change, it could become a staple of the industry, it could become the linchpin that lets smaller games perform while still letting the game have great design. But right now there’s too much opposition for too little benefit. It could be great, sure, but people playing games now don’t care what it “could” be. They care what it “is”, and right now for the most part what it “is” is an over hyped buzzword feature that jacks up the “cost” of a game for no real benefit to the player.

  And to give a counter example, the same thing was said about Ray tracing when it initially came out. It was cool but it would practically set your PC on fire at the time, but even then, people liked it. It was overpriced and not really that different, but some people thought it was cool. DLSS5 doesn’t even have that.

  Taking this bait, I think the problem is that these features are doing multiple things, and almost all of them are bad in the name of “better” graphics (which is subjective)

  • characters look worse, like AI slop filters were added over their faces and bodies
  • creative vision of the people making the game is bastardized behind these “enhancements” altering the look and feel of the game.
  • higher bar for entry for performance requirements and still getting poor performance if you do bite the bullet for a more expensive setup
  • a lot of these games aren’t that good, don’t get me wrong a few are, but having to buy extra equipment and push your PC to get marginally better graphics to play an “okay” game isn’t gonna make people jump for joy.

  You used half life 2 as an example, that was arguably one of the greater games out there at the time, tech and story wise, when it released. People bought better equipment because they wanted to, and even then, the game was still really good. Not so much with these new releases.

  You can blame the complaints on people hating AI, they do. But it’s not like everyone who doesn’t like these games and their requirements is hating it just because of DLSS. The problem is people are complaining about performance along side other issues and DLSS is being presented as “the solution to performance issues” when it’s not even close.

  No the games have to look like real life don’t you get it? Nevermind that fortnite and Minecraft, the two biggest games out there have cartoonish graphics and literal pixelated cubes no! We need to be able to see the reflection in a drop of sweat! And more AI!

  Games should have “style” and “performance”? Bah. What poppycock I say, another billion to the AAAA games! For the investors! /s

  Sleep debt is real. Take notes about how you feel. Get a good nights sleep for a week, and take notes again. You’ll see a difference. Self care isn’t like filling a gas tank or taking out the trash, you have to maintain consistency to see the benefits, and once you do, you will.

  I know people hate his followers and him, but there is a piece to this people forget.

  These people are real, and they are out there. He curates his audience to be echo chambers for these mindsets. We need to speak to our friends, family, and neighbors, about this stuff so that they can’t just fester in these toxic environments. It’s an uphill battle, but writing the people on the fringes of these groups off just causes them to spiral into their own circles and get more intense.

  We don’t want people following him because he isn’t worth following. Care for people and show others that your community is welcoming to all and they’ll lose their power. There are bigger problems we can unite against that we all want.

  I know you’re being sarcastic, but to be fair there is a difference between “I shouldn’t drive” and “vomit comet” levels of drunk. As a taxi service it’s part of the work that you get people like that, but they wanted to take over the industry, so they have to deal with the ups and downs of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That does not spark joy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a symptom of someone obsessed with wealth but with no actual taste. That’s always been trumps thing. Money or the illusion of money. He has more money than you, just look everything is gold, you don’t have gold stuff unless you have money, right? It definitely is the “style” of someone who never left the 80’s.

  Reminds me of those I’ve seen who are dead broke but they still try to make themselves look rich by wearing a pound of gold jewelry that came from their relatives.

  Linux is a system and a tool, Windows is a product. You don’t market high end precise machinery to everyday people, because it can be a pain. You sell them a product that is easy and simple.

  Microsoft is trying to do both and failing at both horribly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Censorship" ☠️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a lot of arguments on the internet about it, your moral compass usually dictates where you land on it. Personally I think any sexualizing of a child (deliberately or not) is wrong, so the words carry the same meaning.

  That said, in anime, it’s often used as a way for a kid to call an adult a pervert or a weirdo, the way kids call strangers names all the time. So there is a difference in tone between “go away weirdo” and “aren’t you that felon who got convicted for CSAM” but arguing the finer points of it doesn’t help your case from a moral ground.

  Arguing over drawn vs real is like that joke about a pedophile vs an ephebophile, there is technically a difference, but knowing that and debating it makes you sound like a pedophile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America continues to fall behind the rest of the world⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no I totally agree with you. Not saying it justifies it or even that the math makes sense, but it feels that a lot of times when you have people who dissent against universal healthcare the reason I stated is why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America continues to fall behind the rest of the world⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is there’s a false scarcity. Healthcare is expensive for people in the US right now, so the idea of paying for someone else’s healthcare via universal healthcare doesn’t sound like a good thing, it sounds like taking the money you need for your healthcare to pay for someone else’s.

  It’s NOT like that, but people have it in their heads that it is. And it’s very hard to change a made up mind when there are people rallying against it to protect their own private interests.

  It just looks weird because of the perspective. The camera is basically next to their knee, aimed down the leg and their toes are pointed as well. That “dotted pattern” is just hair folicles.

  Honestly, it doesn’t really matter, the joke works without knowing who it is. But it looks like this was the singer “Jennie” from a Korean Girl Group called Blackpink. A lot of these groups will swap out members to keep the fame and fans of the group but allow talent to move on/retire, looks like Jennie is a new member and she’s doing so well because she was able to order her own Porsche. Yay for Jennie pulling herself up by her gold inlaid bootstraps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The joke is it’s “rags to riches” because she went from driving her mom’s Porsche (a luxury sports car brand) to having her own special ordered Porsche. If they’ve got a Porsche the only rags they’ve seen are the ones they use so they don’t have to touch poor people

  “The dose makes the poison”, it’s not uncommon for water to be a little contaminated, but dishwashers are also supposed to get hot enough to sterilize the water being used to wash the dishes. So you might get a bit of piss in your dishwater, it’ll be sterile, and most of it will get carried away with the water being used to wash off the other junk before sterilizing and rinsing.

  The biggest problem is that they didn’t even look. CoffeeZilla went “look it’s right here in YOUR spreadsheet” and you can see where they were like “wait what? It is? I didn’t know that.” And they seem to be genuinely surprised.

  It’s not just that they fought it, it’s that they got called out and didn’t even have the decency to say “ya know what let’s double check to be sure” they just flat out doubled down on “nuh uh! we’ll sue your ass!” like a bunch of assholes.

  While yes I get it, a lot of times in those communities moving out is still an option. People just don’t take it as often because it allows you to save easier. The problem now is it’s either “live at home, or move out and starve”, that’s not a pros and cons situation, that’s being held hostage by “investors”

  Thinning on top with the “monk ring” style cut. Nothing gets the ladies going more.

  But serious advice for guys, know when to just shave your head man. People like full heads of hair, people like bald, nobody likes thinning. Make the call and save yourself the embarrassment. Bald is beautiful.

  I think you’re right, and like other people said “the tent” has become a sort of icon of the series.

  I think it’s also from the “art direction” point of view, it also makes it appear as more of a “pop up contest”. They’re not going to an established venue, they’re saying “and here we are today at (location) for the British bake off!” It makes it feel more like a travelling “festival style” event like a local baking competition than a hard “we brought challengers to the Bake Off Challenge campus”. It feels more approachable when it looks like it could be “in your back yard” than in some far off studio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Truck is Stupid Big⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well not only “big = more expensive” the larger engines also have lower efficiency requirements. It’s much easier to make cars bigger and more “chugging” because they don’t have to meet the efficiency standards and because it’s bigger they can charge more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agreed. Like I said I think it should be legal regardless, the punishments are way too severe for what it is. But on a completely different note, we do still need the tests. I love drinking and I love smoking, but there are rules of the road, and one of those is “don’t drive the death machine with impaired judgement”.

  But yes you’re right, the legality shouldn’t be based on if “but what if they drive”. I’m more saying “if you do some life-disregarding level ignorant” shit you’re still getting in trouble.
