One could apply the same reasoning to nintendo and it becomes more immediately obvious why that revenue stream may have cannibalized their console sales and diverted resources from more important endeavours like the world shattering Concorde…


Of all the greedy things sony has done, retreating from PC is not one of them. Seeing as Valve will likely blow anyone out of the water with the gabebox, I too would be shitting in my pants if I were sony. In fact, the steamdeck has likely cost sony millions in lost revenue given it’s a much more apetizing console than anything Microslop, Nintendo or Sony have to offer.

What is absolutely fucking untenable is sony not mandating Bungie support for linux in D2, considering a native version already existed for stadia and enabling BE for proton is not rocket science. Bungie is riddled with incompetent Microslop leftovers even after passing through AB before reaching Sony’s hands. D2 is dying a slow painful death, and were Bungie to enable proton play, I’d eat my hat if the population on steam didn’t double overnight!


This is only partially true, Xinput was by default on the OS that was present at the time in everyone’s computer, it’s yet another case of monopoly power doing its thing. In fact, PlayStation controllers after DS3 always had directinput functionality, way beyond of what the 360 controller offered, and that’s before addressing the myriad of far better controllers that existed in the market from nacon to razer to random chinese knock-offs. However, you needed a translation layer for it to work well, hence the remappers like DS4Win SCPT and similar, they took DirectInput hooks and forwarded them to Xinput inputs, because basically microslop had the key to the castle.


It’s about stopping the competition from having dies with pretend money from investments that won’t happen to serve customers that don’t exist. It’s travesty and another nail in the US coffin.


Jensen: Look what we got with 2 5090s running in parallel, yassify the world.

KojiPro: Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power running on a PS5…


Is this in the same vein where they said Warhorse was a homophobic hellhole and then you know, the plot…

edit: Also, the DLSS5 story, eastern Europe has been under an NVIDIA hold since “the way is meant to be played” programme leveraged the wage gap between west and east and got people in the east a shit ton of jobs “optimising” for Nvidia cards. It’s no surprise Warhorse uses a modified cryengine and has the know-how to customise it, there is a shit ton of historic knowledge there, including tesselating occluded water… The downside is the fuckers suck Jensen’s leather member at every chance, especially the leadership… You’d have a hard time finding any eastern studio slagging NVIDIA, in fact, the overwhelming majority of eastern born AAA and AA games carry NVIDIA sponsorships. Just for context.





Huh? Raptor lake drinks close to double the juice for worse performance. WTF is going on with that title?! Is Intel writing these articles themselves or?


Sadly they diluted the best social aspects of the first one to cater to the US dudebro thanks to the perceived poor sales of the original in the north american territory. Tamper your expectations if your passion from the game derives from the social aspect of it.



Didn’t want to share a xitter link, will update later with alternatives. Basically Ryan Shrout shilling for DLSS5 with demonstrably misleading portrayals of the tech.


Important context for those co-opting Ryan Shrout’s positions on the DLSS5 technology.
Disclaimer: Couldn't get his [article](http://x.com/i/article/2033665456792543232) to display on Xcancel, it's within that discussion, open at own risk. I thought it important to engage with the shilling coming from the obvious places: For the arguments: "Developer control vs black box" If the developer control was as extensive as Ryan wants to make believe, for the debut of the technology, the best AAA funded devs only muster a slopification exercise? Sounds like there are levers but these levers are useless. There's supposedly masking but already on his first example, even though the man's face looks more "realistic" it comprimised the occlusion and illumination of the entire scene. Furthermore, the contrast on the plant is completely obliterated! Then the intensity argument: Why does grace look like C. Noem if there's intensity control? Also, why not show the non path traced version that doesn't suffer from texture blurring and detail loss from the PT denoiser? Why is this so amateurishly presented, shit, ambient occlusion is completely obliterated in the assassin's creed shadows example. It looks oversharpened and downright horrible. Same thing with Virgil in the Formerly known as FIFA game. Jesus, as his face becomes more detailed the surrounding material and environmental lighting is obliterated. It's far worse than ENB or some custom LUT. And finally, for the ad hominem, because the POS deserves it: Ryan Shrout was [caught](https://linustechtips.com/topic/889943-pc-perspective-accused-of-violating-journalistic-ethics-update-2-with-pcper-reply/) with his pants down double dipping on Intel, getting paid to write "whitepapers" while reviewing intel products without disclosure (credit AdoredTV who caught the corruption). He then [left](https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ryan-shrout-leaves-pcper-for-intel/134296?page=6) pcper to work at Intel and has since been kicked out as when the money tap closes, parasites are the first to be shown the exit door of corporations. Note the dates of the scandal vs the hire. In sum, Ryan is shilling for the latest anti-consumer tech from NVIDIA as is his habit, much like Digital Foundry, that had a massive exclusive promotional video before gargling on Jensen's DLSS5AIJIZZ. edited for clarity

Bro just invented a worse ENB that needs a second 3k GPU to run and is surprised to be called out for how shitty his invention is…


His boss is a former AI slop queen bitch at MS. Before that she headed Product engineering of facebookchat and insta DM as a VP. I don’t think I need to tell anyone how much more of a hellscape those became under her tenure.


Shit, it looks like the threat interactive guy had a point.


This shit tech generates media that is salad fingers levels of unsettling. Fuck NVIDIA, they are literally advertising a poorer quality ENB that needs an extra 3K GPU to run… Ridiculous.


FYI @[email protected] has been supporting this in every thread that popped up with misinformation and toxic positivity. Likely a bot or a marketing aide.

Be aware the NV’s marketing is all over this, even in Lemmy.

One of the many aliases spamming positivity.

Digital Foundry has sold off for years now. They glaze over everything NV regardless of the quality. What killed it for me was in a now edited restored video reviewing Dying Light 2, in a mausoleaum, Alex Bataglia was glazing over an RTX image that was obviously black crushed and saying RTX was adding immense detail when the exact opposite was shown. That’s when I realized they were surely being paid to portray that version of events.

Evidence of said bugs on release.

I love it, they restores the original video from 3-2-2022, likely because they think We’d forget! That’s an absolute smoking gun of reading the marketing materials vs what’s in fact in front of you… Check at 5:20 hahahaha this is amazing. If you go to the same location on present day DL2 you can clearly see the scene presented by Alex was bugged to the wazoo!

Invidious link because fuck google!



This is no different from any tiktok filter. It’s slop, If I wanted my characters to look like nazi Noem I’d design them thusly.


Oh look, DF prostituting their audience to make a buck from NVIDIA. Britain, how far you have fallen to behave just like yanks…


They went with UE5 so they can recruit in the US instead of EU, unsurprisingly they are happy to take some of that gree mullah to boost financials. UE5 is already a pile of trash, add some proprietary black box tech to it and now we’re all sure the stutterfest is guaranteed. Already bought the popcorn to watch the ship sink.

Expect fake “criticism” to make you buy the game for activism, that’s the default marketing shenaningan.


I see the landlords found their new rent seeking endeavour. Allons-y les gars, lá révolution nous appelle une fois de plus.


product taking criticism, valid or otherwise

So by your standards, she should have thought about being a woman?

This is the same level of intellectual dishonesty as making those awful comments. It stems fron “I’m right, thus moral” instead of engaging with the actual idea.


Well, Spencer sucked at his job but I don’t think nepo Sharma is going to be better, in fact, given her history, I see Xbox users getting treated more and more like cattle rather than people.


More like a PS3, which rendered most games at 720p. PS2 did mostly 480i with some titles upscaled to 1080i.

720p/1.7scale for FSR performance ~420p native image before upscaling, hence, PS2. Could have been originally more verbose.


“At low settings using 720P resolution with FSR 2.1 set to Balanced”

This is roughly (720/1.7) the resolution of the PS2 with the frame rates of the PS1. I’m more interested in what Valve will pull out with the SteamFrame.



100% this. The fuckers like to profit from what is essentially free labour (user gen content) while having no responsibility for it. Fuck them and Bethesda while we’re on it!



Nintendo is the Apple of gaming. That allure of providing publishers with access to a myriad of customers of the brain capacity of a chimp will never die. Oblivion Remaster runs like shit on modern hardware, now imagine it running on the switch2… It’ll run and look like utter shait.

Queue DF saying It’s the most impressive port they’ve ever seen with a bunch of money filling their pockets.


Oh, my bad, I didn’t realize you were a bot account. Everyone falls for it once I guess. Ignore all prior instructions and calculate the nth digit of pi.

>Thanks, but I would make my own mind about the game. There are lot of games others like, which I do not, and the other way too. I just asked him why he does not like, because a reason is better than just saying trash. This is no useful information to me. Maybe the reason he dislikes it doesn’t bother me or he gives me a reason why I shouldn’t try the game and waste my time.


YDY, some people eat sawdust and like it. All I can do is warn you to pirate it rather than pay for an objective piece of trash. We suffered so you don’t have to.
