@Kriegler007 LOL I have this too - I keep it just for the case. I have the movie on HD-DVD and 4k for watching (still need to get the LaserDisc now that I think of it)

I guess you're welcome to act like you're not impressed by this TOTAL RECALL dvd but the thing is, I just won't believe you... #PhysicalMedia 💿

@oliemack We're witnessing very special things happen. People have default settings to sudden change and it's usually "kill it". Thanks again for being on the level with all this stuff and I hope there's a positive outcome for the tech and the coverage (no Unlaunching!)

@renbry It's kind of hard to believe but perhaps the model is just that good at inferring material characteristics from images. After all, we can infer material characteristics from colour values pretty well.

Here's some of the DLSS 5 material we saw in the demos but didn't get a chance to film. Here I think you can see the strengths of DLSS 5 - reflections become much more attractive. Starfield doesn't have great lighting to begin with, so the differences can be profound.

@Noirchick1 Oh interesting! I happened to watch this last night on LaserDisc - it was Open Matte so we saw a bit more of what was going on in the shower scene.

The body double for Janet Leigh in the shower scene in "Psycho".....actress, model and showgirl Miss Marlie Renfro..........

@kiaran_ritchie Totally is neural rendering. There's that post recently about how 1 in 12 pixels in Cyberpunk is real. It's so much more efficient to lean on neural rendering than doing brute force rendering. People are just not used to such a leap happening so quickly. Exciting to me.

DLSS 5 is absolutely bonkers. This is waaay beyond super sampling.

@digitalix YIKES!

MacBook Neo HUGE problem! After extensive testing, I finally found what’s wrong with these. Pinching hinges!

@mattkenyon @Gammitin the feeling of path finding the escape route was, like, go back, then rotate 90 and go "down" then pitch up and go "forward" ..... it was crazy but so unique!

@Gammitin Get dizzy thinking about it….

Descent 2 is now 30 years old! It's definitely up there as one of my all-time favourite games!

@GlennGossett @Gammitin I had a lot of FOMO with regard to "MMX"...what a sultry thing that was!

@Gammitin Back then all I wanted was a Pentium to really enjoy it with

@HankYeomans @Gammitin I'd never heard of this - will go see what it's about and hope there's a chance to play it (?)

@Gammitin I have Descent Overload from their kickstarter a while back on my PS4. So good.

@Gammitin Before WSAD was a convention, i'd adopted Descent's unique keyboard setup and played hard core quake/3 with these controls for a long time until finally adopting WSAD to fit in.

@HandsomeHCP @HDMOVIESOURCE @Stunt_ManMik3 Looking down upon those without the ability to spin a disk. Stay back streaming cretins!

@HDMOVIESOURCE @Stunt_ManMik3 Physical Media Enthusiasts reading this post:

Physical Media is buzzing right now. People are buying 4K Ultra HD players again. Some releases are even completely sold out because the demand is so high. March 2026 is so loaded with titles, and the format is thriving with real momentum. Collectors are jumping in because the quality is unbeatable right now, and the lineup keeps getting bigger every week. The difference in picture quality and transfer quality between the top indie labels and triple-a studios is now close, and most studios are now putting out movies that look great. You couldn't say this when 4K Blu-ray was first released in 2016, we've come a long way. Streaming keeps removing movies, lowering bitrates, and glitching at the worst times. Buying movies on disc gives you the full experience with no surprises and no missing titles. Now is the time to buy into Physical Media, and it's the safest way to keep the movies you love. #PhysicalMedia

@HDMOVIESOURCE Nice to feel a part of a movement in any case. Thank you for your work and attention to the tangible, good things in life.

@HDMOVIESOURCE I've gone bananas and started collecting LaserDisc. 250 now in a few months. I get to subvert (most of) the entire remastered, chuck out the old, in with the new. I keep the 4K Arrow and VSyndrome releases coming in as choice makes me feel rich in experience.

@optitrack @Official_GDC That's exciting!

New at @Official_GDC - ROM (Bone Refinement) in Motive 🧠💪 During setup, performers run a guided Range of Motion routine so Motive can compute more accurate joint locations—then you can refine joint placement and scale bones so the skeleton better matches real movement. Best part: you can reuse those joint locations across sessions by updating constraint locations (not bone lengths). 📍Catch the demo at Booth #1041. #GDC2026 #OptiTrack #MotiveROM #motioncapture #mocap #gamedevelopment

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K Please not a compressed 4K source like Back to the Future recently was at IMAX. I was looking at macro blocks bigger than myself! (exaggeration but it was a shock to see what seemed like a literal 4K Bluray source on such a large screen)

Top Gun (1986) is releasing in IMAX on 5/13

@TheCinesthetic I love this. I just started collecting LaserDisc and there's a bunch of Open Matte titles hidden in the catalogue as "Pan & Scan" however we've got the LDDB which helps to identify what's actually Open Matte. Fun stuff!

The difference between the original 35mm open-matte frame and the theatrical crop in Jurassic Park (1993).

@mieanadonye @InternetH0F I also expect that stereoscopy may help a tad more than what we see in the 2D video. 3D can help form detail beyond near-field noise (as it's cancelled out in the brain) . . . . still. . . .I admire the incredible ability to do this sort of thing !

@InternetH0F how do they see the road 🤔

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN JUST watched "Home" last night as I'm taking my 11 year old through X-Files.

I Saw the news that “The X-Files” is being rebooted by Ryan Coogler. It was a show I absolutely loved back then. At the time there were no DVDs yet, so I watched it through VHS rentals. The internet was just starting to spread in those days, and I would check U.S. websites for the latest information, which also helped me learn how to use the internet. I even bought the soundtrack and trading cards. Still, I had only watched up to around Season 2. Since it was now available on a streaming service, I rewatched the first episode for the first time in over 30 years, and then watched the legendary episode from Season 4, Episode 2, “Home,” which was rumored to be traumatizing. 😱😱🫣

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN I just started collecting LaserDisc. It's an interesting way to get physical copies of lots of niche, special and forgotten films from last-century. Lots of stock still in Japan too!!

I rewatched the movie I love, “The Hidden” (1987), which I found on a streaming service. It’s great no matter how many times I watch it. The Japanese BD hasn’t been released in Japan, so I have the North American version, but watching it with subtitles again is something special. 🐌

@iBrews Oh less than a year end to end. Production was only a few months. "Kagami", the previous Ryuichi Sakamoto show was several years... and I'm currently remastering it now!

@renbry How long did An Ark take all in ??

Just submitted to The Shed's open call-- hoping to blow some minds with a new mixed reality piece. Wish me luck !
