Steam page for my side project just went live, if you have Steam a wishlist would be much appreciated, or even just a like + retweet would be awesome. Hedera integration once it gets a bit of traction 🙏

@HBAR_Nick @HederianZ that is an understandable friction point, i agree

@HederianZ @pluto_hashpack ECDSA was confusing for many folks in the McLaren discord. Even long-time community members were a little confused.

And people wonder why I advocate against EVM usage. Network not needed.

@riseupmerc @DXFromYT game is good, cope and seethe

AAA Live Service game from once legendary (no longer) studio Bungie, and published/marketed by Sony cant even manage to consistently top 50k daily concurrents on their biggest platform. For the amount of money spent on the studio, Sony must be unhappy. Pretty sure we still havent seen its settling point for player counts either. Hey hey remember when it was "MARATHON WILL KILL ARC RAIDERS LMAO ARC CHUDS START CRYING" And now its "WHY CANT THERE BE MORE THAN 1 EXTRACTION SHOOTER IN THE SPACE, CMON GUYS LETS ALL GET ALONG!"

It's worth noting that at this point in the game's lifecycle, Highguard only had 4,524 players left on Steam. Marathon has over 10 times that right now, and those are all players who paid to get in. It was shortsighted to hitch one's wagons on Marathon being Concord 3.

@TheLoneDalek20 Use whatever tools you want, the end justifies the means

Generative AI should NOT be allowed anywhere near the creative industries, let alone our daily life! It is abhorrent and does nothing but generate slop, consume resources, and gives billionaires control of us. Do NOT let our society become dependent on it in any way shape or form

@HBAR_Nick @lazerhands @McLarenF1 @hedera Semantics tbh

@lazerhands @pluto_hashpack @McLarenF1 @hedera EVM is not Hedera Native 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just noticed the @McLarenF1 nft I have in my Hashpack is ERC… didn’t even know that was possible….any reason it wasn’t minted on the Hedera network? @hedera

@pcgamer So pumped

Marathon community crushes Cryo Archive puzzle, unlocks release date, and learns the map is only playable on weekends pcgamer.com/games/fps/mara…

@HBAR_Nick Seems to me like thousands of people used it, and of course the first time will be a bit bumpy but it's being rapidly smoothed out

@pluto_hashpack Yes, the token is minted on Hedera But how is it helping our network or ecosystem? It creates friction for our marketplaces and wallets. The result is a process that works for no one--Hedera users have trouble, non Hedera users have trouble.

@HBAR_Nick @lazerhands @McLarenF1 @hedera Some companies are more comfortable with evm tooling

@pluto_hashpack @lazerhands @McLarenF1 @hedera But why not adopt native tokens instead of EVM contracts? Sponsorships should get us that at least.

@PeteKramer29 @sarahs_sky Just like calculators

@sarahs_sky Thinking is a muscle that will erode if you don’t use it. Outsourcing thinking to AI is going to create an entire generation of morons.

Bold. Very bold to advertise that you sell slop. Why should I buy your slop? I can generate it for free myself to exactly my tastes. But seriously, don't let this tiresome argument bully you into thinking you'll fall behind without AI. The world will be ruled by those who rejected AI, because AI deliberately makes you dumber the longer you use it. Case in point below 😇

@ARCRaidersNews Can't go back after marathon tbh

ARC Raiders Flashpoint update is releasing on 03/31/26. The Flashpoint update will include: • New map condition • New ARC threat • New player project • Scrappy updates • New quests • New cosmetics • QoL updates • and more... Are you excited?

@lazerhands @HBAR_Nick @McLarenF1 @hedera the big reason was no mint or association fees for new users iirc

@pluto_hashpack @HBAR_Nick @McLarenF1 @hedera What would be the reason for doing this over just minting like all over nfts on Hedera are?

@lazerhands @CCdabz710 ?

@CCdabz710 @pluto_hashpack

Minting it ERC, like they did, you don't need to have $hbar in the account to associate the token id.. easier to onboard new users from new chains... If it was 100% hedera - you would need hbars to associate the token id - and new hedera users wouldnt have the bars to do so.

@lazerhands @HBAR_Nick @McLarenF1 @hedera ERC isnt ETH - it just means its a smart contract based nft (fully on hedera)

@HBAR_Nick @McLarenF1 @hedera Don’t make sense to me. They are promoting Hedera and using the logo but the nft is minted on eth and there’s no mention of that 😂

@wisplite @NikTek it would actually be really really dumb to assume its not going to improve

I disagree. They didn't have to demo it this early if they didn't want people to scrutinize it. So far, this is our only impression of DLSS 5, so it's the only thing we can discuss. It would be more foolish to assume that it's going to improve in the future and talk about it as if it were perfect.

During DLSS 5 Hands-On Video, YouTube creator Hot Hardware asked Nvidia employees this question about the computational cost of DLSS 5 when you move around in the game and it really caught my eye on how they hesitated on showing any DLSS 5 footage during motion. Every time that he moved the character, he would turn off DLSS 5 first then move to a different in-game location and then turn it on, or if DLSS 5 was turned on the movement was very slow and controlled. I know this is still work in progress, but it really begs the question "why wouldn't they show any this?" or "why show DLSS 5 this early?" I tried freezing some shots when another character is in motion to check if there are any artifacts when DLSS 5 is turned on. As suspected, I did come across some artifacts with UI elements, character popping out of the UI element and ghosting/artifacts behind the character. Its still not the best way to judge these small details that you can clearly see if a footage is recorded in-game, but then again its not like Nvidia provided any of them during DLSS 5 marketing campaign. Whenever this is still going to be present by the time DLSS 5 launches remains to be seen, however as of right now it doesn't look like it will handle fast-paced motion quite well and I don't know how well this "controlled AI-generated" rendering will scale to weaker GPUs in the RTX 50 series

@Midhache @VraserX that was just for the demo, obviously it will be optimized as they said

@VraserX My biggest issue with it is that you need two GTX5090 to run it. That means you need a $10.000 rig, demanding 1000W of constant power. That means you are basically having two pots of water at full boil all the time you are gaming.

I still don’t get the DLSS 5 hate. This looks insane. 🤯

how it feels to zero to hero on outpost

@Comrade_Del It's amazing that someone can read that post and come away with a completely incorrect understanding of what it said.

SO I WAS FUCKING RIGHT! THEY WERE NOT EVEN WORKING ON IT THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS CLOWN CAR OF A STUDIO?!

@Onepeg @rclark98 They have dlss5 to be mad about now, the cycle of outrage continues

@rclark98 Coolest part now is seeing the love for the game start to outshine the haters saying “numbers bad”.

The #Marathon discourse on social media has been insanely brutal and entertaining but in the end….Good games are good. It’s a punishing joy to play and an honor to be a small part of.

@ShitpostRock2 I would like games trying to be photorealistic to be as photorealistic as possible

I can't be the only one who doesn't want my games to look photorealistic
