Beyond FPS

@Karai_Dan I played AC Unity a couple of years ago. It can look very good but also has terrible pop in and poor textures. Characters also don't look as good as current games (understandable). And even lighting is clearly inferior (pre baked lighting has its limits).

@Karai_Dan No they haven't peaked. And they look good because developers pushed tech forward just like some others do today. I do play and played recently many mid 2010s games.

Sub 70 IQ logic "Why does the 10 year old game that had state-of-the-art visuals look so good today?" and then "Why do some modern games chase state-of-the-art visuals?"

@kr00tmantech @Sebasti66855537 @Charcharo and if we add inflation to this.... more like $150+

@Sebasti66855537 @Charcharo I love how people always mis remember the past. Like when people talk about how much cheaper games were way back when and then you break out adds for 75$ snes games in 1994

These people are so dishonest man. When Unity came out it was attacked for being unoptimized, a mess, too difficult to run, too demanding, worse than some even older games... Now they forgot and the narrative changed. Deeply dishonest liars. x.com/ShitpostRock2/…

@IksIksIkss @Charcharo We never achieved the same results +10 years ago

@Charcharo @beyond_fps His point is "why do we need all of the new technologies that make performance significantly worse and use significantly more resources when we achieved the same results using none of it" There is an answer to this but the poster completely misinterpreted the point

@YatoSubs1 yeah x.com/beyond_fps/sta…

@beyond_fps That's the kind of posts you'll see 10 years later about games like Alan Wake 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 and so on

Anyway, which will be the next game? Batman? Crysis 3? Driveclub? Ryse of Rome?

Bonus: this is how AC Unity looks on a 1050 btw

@Charcharo In 10 years he will share screenshots of Alan Wake 2 with 4K DLAA Path tracing and will claim that a RTX 3060 was able to do that

@HelmPeter @ProvenReserves @janrosenow Because you become dependent on others.

@ProvenReserves @janrosenow We used less electricity in Germany, part to efficiency improvements and part less GDP. Why produce electricity yourself, when you can buy it cheaper?

Germany's electricity mix, 2000 vs 2025: Renewables: 6% → 62% Fossil fuels: 62% → 36% Nuclear: 30% → 0% Nuclear's exit was filled by renewables, not coal or gas.

@ZacksJerryRig He is, birth rates have been on decline decades before tech took over. Women being part of the workforce and higher education levels is what matters the most.

He's not wrong.

@SteveSkojec @JJanegle This the reason and not because of social media like the guy from your video says.

@JJanegle That's because it's not industrialized. If they could figure out how to get there, their birth rates would drop just like everywhere else it's happened.

He’s dead on.

@RockyWhu why are you blaming AMD and not the devs

Doesn't look like i've got much choice!😂 XeSS it is then! That's what I love about AMD much like my first ever Girlfriend ... I never expected anything much from her & I was never disappointed, thats how I feel lately with AMD!

@vZeroG @alphafox What transition? I was over 20 when social media began lol

@beyond_fps @alphafox Also, I believe you can read, but you were not here for the transition, and don’t know what it was like before.

Man perfectly explains the reason for the worlds declining birth rate: 💯

@vZeroG @alphafox There is no data that supports these claims, so yeah... however there is plenty of data about how they drop hard the moment countries become wealthier and more educated.

@beyond_fps @alphafox And you don’t think that what he’s talking about is having an exacerbating effect on the problem?

@vZeroG @alphafox No, I am 39 years old but more importantly I do read, birth rates have been declining at similar rates for decades visualcapitalist.com/cp/charted-rap…

@beyond_fps @alphafox He right in that it is part of the problem. As someone who found my wife right before everyone had a camera phone, he is unquestionably correct. You cannot dismiss what he is saying here, but perhaps you are younger and simply don’t have the perspective that I do as GenX.

@hoytehablode @PlayStation Y luego me quieren comparar el precio de una consola sin online a un PC ...

@beyond_fps @PlayStation Sep sino tienes plus te jodes

Q @PlayStation no tenga guardado en la nube de tus juegos d manera gratuita, deberia ser PENADO por la ley Muchos preocupado por DRMS de mierda, pero en lo q realmente deberian ofrecer gratis nadie le reclama. Solo Sony y Nintendo son tan rastreras d cobrar por un servicio basico

@aruvinchan It's the same kind of social pressure as when young people start drinking, and most of them drink just so they don't look like the weird ones. Then when they get older they do what you described here.

I don't know if this is a Europe, Spain, or Barcelona thing. But there's actually strong social pressure here to constantly show that you're "living the life." It's very similar to the "keeping up with the Joneses" or flexing culture in the US. Except instead of comparing homes, cars, job titles, and trophy wives, you're comparing vacations and nights out via Instagram stories, reels, and photo albums. I often feel compelled to do certain things that I don't really care for. Just so that I won't be the idiot who, when people ask what I did all weekend or summer, says, "Not much. I just chilled at home." Is it really such a crime to do nothing? I actually enjoy my home, my Netflix, my cooking at home, and my not going anywhere just because it's a long weekend, the summer, or whatever stupid public holiday. My home is actually very comfortable. But no, "I must" pack my entire summer with as many activities and trips as possible, otherwise I'm letting life pass me by! I'm so sick of this FOMO culture, and I'm actually starting to embrace JOMO culture (joy of missing out). Almost like an act of protest against this "hedonism for its own sake" mentality that many people in Europe seem to have.
