I know. 😔

I mostly share these feelings because it illuminates the issue a bit for some people who otherwise have not considered it.

Ah, good point. I guess things would rapidly re-form in the favor of the fediverse if this law was overturned…

Sounds like a monkey paw situation to me!

Yet again, we have difficulty having shared definitions of the most basic words.

We really need to address this some day. So much conflict will go away once we stop arguing about the definitions of words.

Maybe words are too imprecise, and we need something else. But on the other hand, we have precise words for lots of things. But it’s considered elitist or whatever to use them. “$10 words” are often just very precise and replace a bunch of other words in a sentence.

Well, it’ll be a difficult transition. But in the long run, maybe not?

As long as the Fourth Estate gets their shit together.

It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.

There is no Radical honesty on Truth social.

That’s a fair take. I’m sure they feared looking dated. I think that’s a misguided fear that you have when you don’t think the other aspects can live up to expectations.

Which is weird because it sounds like they tried really hard with the story, as in they tried to elevate it beyond the usual dick and fart jokes and snark. (They didn’t eliminate that stuff, but rather tried to have a balance) BL3 was terrible in that dept. it went way too hard on that shit imo.

Oh, simpler than I expected. Cool…

Hey wait a second…

How do you make a dog shake?

Yeah, but it’s not just a toon shader/cel shaded shader.

I’ve seen footage, this game has full (highly stylized) PBR and all sorts of fancy lighting along with the cell shaded look. Reducing it all to “cell shading” isn’t the whole story.

Hi-Fi Rush is much closer to classic Borderlands than BL4 is.

This is how I understood it too.

He probally knows only a certain percentage of his audience will ever hear about this.

Eh, I guess it is. But it also isn’t. We have stagnated a bit in the rasterization and VRAM departments when you talk about affordable entry level cards that most people buy.

And the PlayStation 5 has not changed since it launched…

Sure, newer cards have Ray Tracing stuff and new video encoder pipelines and some other things. But when you look at classic rasterization, and look at xx60 and xx70 class cards, it’s not the sort of leaps we use to have. Node shrinks are not what they use to be.

A 3060 is as fast as a 2070 super. Just as an example I have first hand experience with. There use to be much larger performance gaps between generations.

Weird, tools. Not more AI. Same thing, I guess.

I wonder if either of them are actually the correct scene.

You made this statement by using the most optimized high end VR title in existence. And the creators of the game their own engine!

Graphics do matter. That’s why you cited Alyx. Right? Because the game is impressive in many ways, graphics being a really big one. Graphics in VR have generally stagnated for the past 5 years since Alyx came out.

Graphics are why the interactions with bottles in that game are so impressive. Just to highlight one small thing.

Only PCVR titles can even approach saying such things without looking like jerks. And even then, it’s probally counter productive.

An example, for those curious, is Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The internet.

“This company is too cheap to pay someone for a proper advertisement.”

Using AI like this seems like a counter productive way to build brand awareness.

Sounds better than age verification… oh wait.
