@cybercpu AI influencers were paid under the table to promote AI products and make it seem organic, wouldn't be surprised.

DLSS 5 got trolled pretty hard but do you notice that out of nowhere almost every post on Twitter now is people defending it. That's not organic. That's a paid campaign.

@rose_moth IMO the hair is leaning too much into a PBR style and clashes with the anime style skin shader.

Bro.. trust me learning shaders changed everything 😫😩 this is just a material, i haven't even gotten to the painting yet, but a good base helps Character by @ssantinesss ___ #blender3d #3dart #3dmodeling #stylized #arcane

@nimlot26 The only thing that matters is if it's performant and doesn't look terrible in motion. Carefully crafted media kits mean nothing.

After this whole debate about DLSS 5 I came to the conclusion that most of the people talking about it are completely unaware of what they don't know...they're on the peak of ignorance and don't even grasp how little they understand. They just heard generative AI and like Pavlov's dog they just start drooling thinking it's the same shit as unethical slop image generators...for the love of Christ...go and educate yourself before raging on the internet for no reason. DLLS 5 is not a prompt based generator...it's not creating stuff based on someone else's images and hallucinates results. It uses the information from the raster to build up a final render frame with the same information but with better lighting and shading... I'll even give you an example on how much of an impact better shading and lighting has. This is a character I've worked on not long ago. On the left you have a raster render, with some bad shaders. On the right you have a render with raytrace on, a much better shader for both hair and skin. They don't even look like the same person...do they? This is what DLSS5 is doing....getting a result like the one on the right(tbh a lot better) at a smaller cost than actually rendering it. Still the same geo, same textures, same light sources. Some of you will go and say the one on the left is better and it's the artist's vision. It's not...it's just the artist's limitation due to shading and lighting constrains. Every single artist out there would love to get the right result in real time.

@Sir_Dammed Bubsy 3D was definitely a breakdown of the MIC

Reminder that "all art is political" or "games were always political" is a straw man, and one of the most easily countered arguments. If someone says this to you, simply reply with: "There is an obvious difference between telling a fictional political story for the sake of fun/entertainment, and inserting your modern day social politics into a story for validation/to push an agenda." Stops leftists in their tracks every time.

@TheIshikawaRin All you need to do is ask him about his game and he will ban/block you. It's pretty pathetic.

In the wake of the Digital Foundry stuff today it is unfortunate that Threat Interactive did actually have a point about them a while back, however it didn't take long for Kevin to start swinging his massive ego around again and insulting people so needlessly. He sucks.

@xJ0YDIVISI0Nx @TheIshikawaRin He also supposedly works 70 hours a week on 'something'. Yet has time to comment watch YT, make YT videos, block thousands on twitter, make responses, etc. Then asks 900k for a fork of UE.

@TheIshikawaRin "Us", "We", "Our" This dude does this a lot, he really likes pretending if The-Rat Interactive is more than just him.

@SebAaltonen So when gamers come back with issues whats the plan? Ask the AI to fix its own code? Maybe caveat this so first time devs don't waste time.

Now is the perfect time to write your own engine. The argument in the past was that you don't have time to write all the less important generic features. Now, the LLM will do that for you. You can focus on things that differentiate your product.

@SpookieGhoulie It's just noise. Make good content and people will consume it regardless.

@meesedev Have you actually made a game in Unreal and understand the pipelining involved or are we talking about things we don't understand?

Those who defend Unreal's performance usually don't have strong foundation in computer science or engineering. Sadly, lack of CS/CE education (self-taught or formally) is becoming more common in gamedev.

@sean_gause Blender has video editing that is very good.

@SonOfHardrada @shawnz49239 @chiefofautism This is fanfiction. It is mildly funny you have these delusions.

someone built a device that DETECTS when FEDS is SPYING on your phone nearby its called rayhunter, made by the EFF, and it costs $20 you buy a cheap mobile hotspot from amazon, flash it with their open source software, and carry it in your pocket feds use devices called stingrays that pretend to be real cell towers so your phone connects to them instead, once connected they can track your EXACT location, grab your phone identity, and potentially intercept your calls and messages counter-surveillance equipment used to cost THOUSANDS of $ and required serious technical knowledge now its $20 and fits in your pocket

@SonOfHardrada @shawnz49239 @chiefofautism You mean a patch? or do you mean discovery before it goes to prod? This makes me doubt you have any experience at all.

@trancelore @shawnz49239 @chiefofautism Access to the backdoors changed periodically and what allowed access one week, could be gone the next. I never personally experienced any backdoors for hardware/chips, but heard Engineers discussing it a number of times.

@SonOfHardrada @KaifKhanykym @chiefofautism It's funny that you would refer to general public and pegasus in the same context, specialized attacks do not equal general public. Stop showing your ignorance and go watch talks instead of youtubers when it comes to CSec, you'll learn more.

@KaifKhanykym @trancelore @chiefofautism This guy does. He's also installing physical switches to cut the power and he and his buddies are apparently running their own custom exploit patched phone OS on a 1986 Motorola brick phone. Hes to dense to understand I am referring to the general public not .0001%

@SonOfHardrada @chiefofautism "98% of the phones on the market today do not allow the battery to be removed" Making definitive statements like this is kinda stupid given the context of what I said. Go watch DC, BH and WWHF talks and come back when you have a better grasp of CSec.

@trancelore @chiefofautism No sh*t Sherlock, but for all practical purposes nobody is opening up their phones to remove batteries. You clearly know nothing about how the world of exploits works. The second a new OS or update comes out thousands are working to find new exploits and when found are sold.

@SonOfHardrada @chiefofautism All batteries can be removed, you merely need the know how. Small internal batteries do not have infinite life. The fact that you think that specialized malware will be used on you is funny. You realize the more an exploit is in the wild the more defenses can be made against it?

@trancelore @chiefofautism OK smart guy. Apparently you arent aware that 98% of the phones on the market today do not allow the battery to be removed. You're also not aware many phones that have removable batteries, have small internal batteries. Before continuing to yammer, research Pegasus.

@SonOfHardrada @chiefofautism You realize if I take the battery out electrons wont manifest in the phone right? And that making an internal switch is trivial to do? You're talking about a highly advanced attack vector that will be device specific and I highly doubt a generalized exploit would be possible.

@trancelore @chiefofautism It's not a rumor, it's a fact. You do understand that the power source aka the battery is still connected even though you have the phone "turned off", right? Buttons not working and screen being black doesn't mean squat.

@SonOfHardrada @chiefofautism Where did this rumor start that powered off devices can be accessed? You realize they can't break the laws of physics right?

@chiefofautism This is neat, but Feds have root access via Pegasus, an israeli developed spyware. Powered on or not, there is NO privacy on your cell phone and there's not much that can be done about it.

@NextGenNero Bait posting again about Unreal. Does it ever get boring?

Notice how every game that don’t use UE5 looks extremely impressive and runs buttery smooth? Crimson Desert, KCD2 , Marathon, BF6, Alan Wake 2, RE9… Almost as if these consoles aren’t the problem.. that engine or should I say the lack of optimization with that engine is..
