@__silent_ @mweis200 TBF I think that's also conflating with how bad DLSS used to be with it's alternatives. Like v1 was easily worse than SMAA.
This AI crap is replacing, not improving and can only improve by doing less.

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall. DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality. Learn More → nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/…

@KayleMain54 @LukeStephens Worse yet, just wait until "stylised" slop filters get applied and we get to repeat this same thing on a loop.
English
@LukeStephens The people happy about this now will be posting stuff like "remember when games had unique art styles?" a few years down the line.
Just complete slop.
English
You shouldn't be.
Listen, I like DLSS. It's a marvel of modern computing. But this? This will make every game look like a crappy AI face filter was applied. It undermines all of the creative efforts of studios that work so hard designing characters and art. Actual abomination.
Bryan Catanzaro@ctnzr
So proud of DLSS5: Fully generative neural rendering, in real-time, in real games. Mind-blowing realism. A whole new generation of real-time graphics. A decade of continuous research and development. Coming soon to PCs everywhere. 💚
English
@ModernVintageG Legit every example has terrible lighting that makes no sense in that scene and just ends up looking like a photo shoot with studio lights facing head on.
Yet again wasted dev time on temporal screen space pixels rather than something useful like hair or non important physics.
English
@Jawmuncher There is quite literally small jump scares every 10-30s in the opening section of RE9 what are you on about.
English
Not knowing game design must make horror games absolutely crazy.
You just think the dev is going to scare you every two second lol.
teddy@prxfns
why is he playing like this i'm dead LMFAOO
English
@Brammflakes @billclitton007 It really is design though. Modern maps are just clones of slightly scaled down real places or over balanced with zero variation.
I don't want to roam another generic boring building complex in COD and I want third places off center in BF. It's what drives me away now.
English
@billclitton007 I bet you're 28-35 years old and you're talking about nostalgia not design.
Just a guess, I have the same opinion, but I am 33 and washed.
English
Controversial take for players.
It is fairly well known within FPS studios that statistically new maps do NOT bring back old players or attract new ones. I have seen a lot of data to support this.
Players believe it is a huge draw, but the reality is that rewarding players time is more important.
Battlefield, a franchise I love.. has failed to answer the question “why am I playing this game” for a decade now.
English
@ActuallyFlamey @Noah6092 @christitustech Beginners either spam next and don't realise stuff is happening or agonise over every option but I'm also meaning more effort should be put into a "default", stuff gets too spread out in this space.
English
@zombieguy98 @Noah6092 @christitustech i disagree, i don't think it's needed. Limine always gets selected as the default bootloader and Plasma gets selected as the default DE. that should be enough of a hint that that's what the devs probably want you to use imo
English
The time has come... LTT did another Linux Challenge.
Pop_OS! again Linus!?! This gonna be a long month...
English
@ActuallyFlamey @Noah6092 @christitustech TBF I use and love Cachy but its a huge problem with Linux (often touted as a pro) that there is far too many options for the DE and a perfect scenario for a beginner to have to deal with.
The installer should favour one DE and hide others behind an advanced section imho.
English
@Noah6092 @christitustech Luke from the WAN show chose CachyOS, but for some reason he chose Cinnamon as the DE (???). Still, they didn't show his experience as much as they did for Linus and Elijah.
English
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that said:
I'm tired of "ugly" or "not modern" texture = bad
A lot of people don't like the new textures, not out of pure nostalgia, but because it's literally a different art direction.
Not everything needs to be "genius" from some artistic level to be enjoyed.

@BarjiYT @DoctorGester Its very petty and pointless, if you need access to more "in depth stuff" then you make it, regardless of the framework. This cherry picking a list of features that suites your arguments is weak asf and as I said its very common in these exact type of threads.
English
it's not petty. It's that the features that the vast majority of devs need are there + the iteration speed. If you need access to more in depth stuff then you choose your tool accordingly. ex There are rendering features in Godot that you can't manipulate in Unity and vice versa. Choosing an incredibly niche missing feature and calling it "one of the most basic things" is just pedantic. There is no "best engine", but the gap between Godot and Unity is not as big as people make it out to be for most devs.
English
Unity’s biggest asset is its assets.
I really hate “engine elitism” but seriously, at this point why would anyone but hobbyists, put their livelihood in the hands of this company when they’ve screwed over their user base endlessly. Runtime, Ironsource, weta digital, calling you stupid. Have they added anything useful, or fixed the glaring issues with the engine, over the past few years? I mean a large portion of the community is still on 2019.
If you haven’t already, you should try Godot there’s almost nothing missing at this point, you can use C#, and it’s so easy to switch. People just reiterate the “it needs a few more years” but it’s been a few years!!
Not to mention, when you look at the current pool of popular engines, who’s the most likely to position themselves as the vibe coding engine? Maybe that’s your thing, each to their own, but for better or worse that’s where it’s going.
It’s also nice to use an engine that doesn’t slow down the longer it’s open, or take 30 seconds to load everytime you want to test.
Unity used to be my biggest sponsor, they’d fly me out to events. I had all the reasons in the world not to switch.
Try Godot.

@DoctorGester @BarjiYT I've seen this exact convo so many times now. People need to stop over glazing godot and pretending its feature matching other engines. Such a pointless battle and always so petty when the obvious is pointed out.

@thr33swords @Pirat_Nation You a bot bro? TS is happening everywhere.
EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand etc have all made similar moves and looking for more. The US isn't far behind, with several similar bills in the works and were actually one of the first to start this with per state age ID laws for online
English
@Pirat_Nation Don’t know why platforms haven’t just IP banned the entire UK by this point. It’s just not worth doing business with them anymore, and savvy users will find a way around it anyway.

@raiiskaim @AmeliaERWood Our school had SASS do forced assemblies telling us we will likely never need to pay anything back and a class where we had to apply to 5 unis, which also had a school trip to a uni fair thing.
Granted I don't regret it but its crazy to see people re-write history around this.

@AmeliaERWood Not even just told.
How many of us had lessons where we filled our applications, where offers were accepted, parents advised, and you were already set into it before you even finished school

@SamuelePanzeri Yet to meet a single dev at work that is pro it and the only "Devs" I see online that push it have AI in their bio and are shilling garbage.
It serves zero use beyond code completion and sometimes boiler plate if you don't care about what you are working on.
English
Programmer aren't pro-AI. A lot of them hate it, most are pragmatic and see it as what it is, a tool. You just live in a bubble
Mark Kretschmann@mark_k
Why are devs so 'pro-AI' while artists are so 'anti'? 🗣️ It feels like coders are leaning into the tech to work faster, but creators are genuinely angry and frustrated by it. Is the difference just that programmers are used to constant change, or is the impact on their jobs just fundamentally different? Would love to hear some insights on why these two groups are reacting so differently!

@myles_premium_ The problem is that this model used to work extremely well in the UK, but things have gotten so dysfunctional that its created a loop that applies to all our services of:

The “Open Gaming Collective” was just announced as a group of Linux game-focused projects who plan to work together on “gaming-focused components used across the Linux ecosystem.”
A few things to keep in mind:
- The “Open Gaming Collective” is spear-headed by a Microsoft employee.
- The lead project, Bazzite, is one of the most intensely political projects in the Open Source world (regularly banning users and contributors for wrong-think, aggressive “Code of Conduct” weaponization, targeting children with “Trans” and “Bi-Sexual” cartoons, and more). To call it “woke” would be an understatement.

@BountyLawFan @Joseph1147354 @GlobalBoxOffice 28YL was slop, like every metric of it. It threw in a bunch of typical cliches, kept explaining itself, was extremely plot driven and like all slop is turning yet another IP into an unneeded series. Shit was paper thin.
