It’s a common misconception that Commander Kroluk’s Bladestorm damages his adds and that you should kite him through them. It doesn’t. You should generally kite him away from the adds to avoid unnecessary damage. That said, the fight would be a lot cooler if it did.

Except for the fact that outside of that one gay Klingon the majority did still fit the "Worf profile". And for that crime of still being a proud and patriarchal society Kurtzman had them reduced to a few thousand stragglers because similar to the Romulans their homeworld got destroyed.
English
@memeticsisyphus Expecting Klingon in this era to fit your Kirk or Worf like profile of the past is like expecting Scandinavians to be more like Vikings or Japanese to be more like Samurai, still the time difference isn't just couple centuries but 1+k years with al in between historical events.

I am a scientist. Most of the people I work with are nerds. Many of my close friends are too. We’ve all had the discussions about Star Trek, who is the best captain, which series captures the true essence of the techno-optimism , etc etc… no one I know has seen this show. It’s not a left right thing either, they just tried to use the Skinsuit to attract a new “modern” audience. Which never seems to show up. It’s just so strange so many brands do this.
I think it’s an excellent reflection on our society’s collective narcissism. Ham fisted and cheesy as the older series were, they at least discussed big ideas. What is the purpose of law? What does it mean to be living? What would a society driven by this or that vice or virtue look like?
Those big ideas are replaced by the personal. What does it mean to be a minority in a majority setting? What does it mean to be a gay alien? Blah blah blah. It’s the same story told over and over.
They’re not asking what would a warrior culture look like, they’re just making the warrior gay and lame.

EXCLUSIVE: “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will end with its upcoming second season. The show failed to find a significant audience, not ranking on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming viewership charts at any point during its 10-episode first season. wp.me/pc8uak-1lH3kQ

@mpr_reviews @aziebert Same behavior with Zero Dawn back then, but that was improved a lot. Strange that we see that engine regression on PC.

Ran a quick test at 1440p Very High, DLSS Balanced, RTAO on.
PCIE Gen 4 x 16 = 99 fps
PCIE Gen 5 x 16 = 109 fps
So basically a 10% improvement by going to PCIE Gen 5. I saw similar gains when @aziebert and I tested Doom: TDA PCIE Gen 5 vs Gen 4.

Saw an interesting Steam forum post from Nixxes regarding DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH possible performance issues due to PCIe bandwidth, so I decided to measure it on my system using @CapFrameX, and I indeed saw quite a bit of PCIe traffic when moving around in the game.

Das lustige ist, ich hab in nun bald 10 Jahren Gym noch nicht ein mal Männer in der Umkleide über Frauen reden gehört.
Was ich allerdings schon mit meinen guten Ohren gehört habe:
- wie zwei Frauen am Handy das baldige Date der anderen bewerten, Highlight war der Satz "die Brille kann man ja austauschen"
- wie zwei ältere Frauen während sie an den Geräten saßen die sagen wir mal physischen Stärken des Gymchefs priesen

@theo This might be why the "it's only 8GB" might not matter that much. On my M1 MacBook air it seems that even when swapping, it does not seem to slow things down very noticeably.

Nobody told me about the SSD speeds on the M5 Pro wtf?? This is nearing DDR4 RAM speeds.

@adeptxo Calling for iLvl 245 when with that iLvl there would not be any need for a M0 is certainly strange.
I'm at 250 now and I didn't bother with M0 this week. Would have only done one if it overlapped with the reputation weekly, which it didn't.

I think this video does a good job explaining the viewpoints of the team but I wanted to make sure it was clear that I wasn't feeling up to participate yet thus not in the video. I will share my own thoughts soon but my opinions largely mirror what Alex says in this video!

@UN_PGA "Islamophobia" is an invention of the Muslim Brotherhood to stop the rational defense against the spread of political Islam.
English
Across the world, Muslims continue to face discrimination, hostility, and even violence because of their faith. This must change.
Discrimination or hatred directed at any community because of its religion has no place in our society.
Today, marking the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we reaffirm our commitment to dignity, tolerance, and mutual respect.
Standing up against Islamophobia is not only about defending one religious community. It is about defending our shared humanity.

@TerraWarePC The "artistic intent" is for her to look exactly like the scanned face model.
English
The discussion about artistic intent is an interesting and valid one regarding DLSS 5 although what would that be in this case? The left with PT? Middle with RT? Or right full raster?
What if Capcom approved the way DLSS 5 looked in their game? Would that make it more legit?
I personally value what I think more when playing a game and how I tweak the visuals. Lighting can have dramatic effects on a game that aims for realism. DLSS 5 cranks this to 11 for better or worse thats up to you.
Do I like it? I most certainly like the tech and see the potential it can have. Stuff like this is what separates PCs from other gaming platforms, options and breakthroughs in technologies. I love options.
My biggest criticism about DLSS 5 would in the naming. I think calling it DLSS Neural Rendered Lighting or something would've made more sense but I look forward to seeing how tech like this can transform many games in my library.
English
Calling it an Instagram filter is just dishonest.
It is trained on realistic illumination including how faces actually interact with light.
If developers don't want realistic illumination, then there is the easy solution of doing nothing. DLSS 5 can't work without a developer implementing it because it needs access to way more data than SR or FG.
English
"The AI model powering DLSS 5 is a single unified model. Same model for every game. It's not trained per-title, per-face, or per-object type."
Why are Nvidia claiming developers have full control over the artistic intent of DLSS 5 output when it uses a unified model that isn't trained per game?
Surely this would mean DLSS 5 output would converge to the same type of visuals across games, removing artistic intent/touch. Just as we see from current gen AI tools
Giving developers true, full artistic control would surely mean having specific models for each game trained only on that studio's assets?

@SentinelBorg @AkimaKahn steht da nirgens. Frame Gen hatte von anfang an ein Eigennamen und wurde seperat von DLSS 3 angekündigt
Deutsch
Was ist DLSS 5 für ein downgrade? Charaktere und Artstyle werden komplett geändert teilweise
DLSS war bisher immer nur um Auflösung hoch zu skalieren und nicht die Grafik zu manipulieren.
Macht daraus eine seperate Option das man wählen kann aber nicht in den Upsample integrieren.

@HeyStani @AkimaKahn Es ist eine separate Technologie, genauso wie es DLSS 3 (oh oh) Framegen ist.

@AkimaKahn vorallem in DLSS integriert. Von mir aus bringt einfach eine seperate Option wie FrameGen usw. dann kann jeder selber entscheiden

@HardwareUnboxed But the "artistic style" is often a result of going through multiple layers of tech limitations, so what we see on screen may not be what the artist originally intended.
English
Are we supposed to actually believe DLSS 5 gives developers control to maintain a game's "unique aesthetic" when the examples they show completely change the artistic style of some characters?
"Ah yes, this completely different looking person is what I wanted all along!"
Hardware Canucks@hardwarecanucks
Context is important too. It puts additional levers into the artists' hands. Whether or not those tools get abused is another matter altogether since evidently this runs the risk of AI Slop being pushed even more broadly into games.

@Nikuw2137 @GamersNexus @wall24565 The authoritarian left loves surveillance as much as the right, maybe even more so.
They just hate that they are not in control (anymore).

@GamersNexus @wall24565 too bad, being anti-global surveillance places you firmly on the left now :^)

@mpr_reviews I have a 4K 240hz 27" OLED and yes it is incredible.
English
After a few days testing this I have now decided that my next purchase will be a 4K 144hz monitor.
4K DLSS Performance looks quite a lot better than DLSS Quality at 1440p in most games I've tested. I have a 4K monitor but it's only 60 hz as it's used for work.
Mostly Positive Reviews@mpr_reviews
Okay DLDSR, I was not familiar with your game. I havent really used DSR / DLDSR outside of a few edge cases, so yesterday I decided to play around with it in my most played games. Setting my 1440p monitor to 4K and then using DLSS Performance I get a much cleaner image than 1440p DLSS Quality in all the games tested so far. And this is when forcing Preset K at both resolutions to keep the preset the same. If I set a custom scaling factor of 75% for DLSS at 1440p, which means the internal resolution is then 1080p, the same as 4K DLSS Performance, the image with 4K DLSS P is still much cleaner and sharper. The only game I saw some issues was Cyberpunk, where DLSS Performance would have flashing bright spots on some edges, and sparse grass completely breaks, unless you use RT + DLSS RR. There is about a 20% performance cost on average using 4K DLSS P over 1440p DLSS Q, but in many games it's worth it to me. This also solves a lot of the ghosting and noise issues in Resident Evil: Requiem.
