In case you missed out: I've retired "The AL2009man Website" infavor of Linktree. But I've been making a bit of change since then.

@NikTek i'm pretty sure the "it wasn't running that well" part only applies in the open world areas?

Well its not like it was fake or anything because there is a playable demo of The Matrix Awakens on consoles, all of it running in real-time. It wasn’t running that well though, but it did its job

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant then i don't consider it as "Path Tracing" within the context of a dev toggle that lets me switch between Ray modes on a third-party game engine.

@AL2009man @avgcroissant Yeah, none of it is just a "toggle." Nothing is.

What’s with all this anti path-tracing propaganda I’m seeing today? The path tracing results in Pragmata looks amazing, and physically correct. Emissives are properly contributing to the lighting, with proper occlusion, reflection, and contact-hardening shadows

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant as it's a engineering spec list, i don't think it's what i want. I'm thinking more akin to a toggle that switches between Ray modes in a "built-in third party game engine" sense.

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant the closest thing that specifically mentions Path Tracing is in MaybeReorderThread, and that's pretty much it. #maybereorderthread" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/…

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant can you show me a piece of DirectX document that specifically tells you how to enable Path Tracing? without using extensions.

@AL2009man @avgcroissant It's all been DXR the whole time. Nothing about it is proprietary.

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant given you said "it's just being used as another anti-competitive cudgel by NVIDIA", we need a cross-vendor solution.

@brothermichigan @avgcroissant It's less about "unlimited bounces" but more about a cross-vendor solution. you'd need to remember: early Ray Tracing implementations used to be heavily reliant on NVIDIA GPUs for it, and it has been until DirectX Ray Tracing and Vulkan Ray Tracing came into the picture.

@avgcroissant @brothermichigan if only Microsoft and Khronos standardized Path Tracing like they did with Ray Tracing...

@brothermichigan The tradeoff might be worth it to other people (such as myself), as I’d take the more accurate lighting even if it means sacrificing some perf. How is it anti-competitive? AMD is also developing their own PT technologies; some of which could’ve & should’ve been added to this game

@AonekoSS the bigger problem is the scope of story content. But if you ask me: make Season 1 free for all owners, but future seasons will be treated as a story expansion pack ala MMORPGs.

@AonekoSS if a theoretical Zenless Zone Zero offline version were to happen: the budget would be way less to than people would led to believe, given it's structured like a Single-Player game however, it would require a game rebalance, add unlockable and restore events.

「Stop Killing Games」のまとめ。 なんかいっぱい絡まれたから海外ニキと対話（レスバじゃないよw）した結果、要求のレベルが３段階くらいあるのが分かった。 サ終してもオフラインで動くようにしろ派： いまカリフォルニア州法に提出されてるライン。 メーカーにとっては対応コスト高すぎなんや。どないすんねん…… サーバー立てる為にソースを公開しろ派： つまり俺らでサーバー立ててホスティングするわって話。 ソースコードなんていう知財と企業秘密の塊をほいほい公開できるわけないやろアホタレって返した。（もう少し優しい言い方） 勝手に解析してサーバー立てるから黙認しろ派： いまニーアのプライベートサーバーで盛り上がってる界隈かな。 サーバー自体が法に触れるかは難しいけど、そのサーバーに繋ぐよう改造したアプリを撒くなら、それは紛れもなく「海賊版」なんだよね。 あと共通点として。 ゲームをオフライン版に改修するコストがほぼゼロだと思ってるっぽい。 ゲームは「購入」して「所有」するものという認識で、ライブサービスを受けている自覚がない。 大手メーカーをすげー嫌ってる。（でもゲームは買ってプレイしている） だいたいこんな感じかな。 英語とスペイン語が多くて、英語話者もヨーロッパのアカウントが多い感じだった。

@DailyYutane she forgor

ASTRA!!!!!! DO YOU REMEMBER ARIA!!!!!! YOU SAVED HER IN AN EVENT BACK IN 1.3

@ClassicREbirth Honestly, there's no need to implement Steam Input. SDL Gamepad API can "handshake" Steam Input and will provide the correct button prompts (assuming you leverage SDL_GetGamepadType). wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/SDL_GetGa…

A list of what will be in the next version of #ResidentEvil 1 Classic REbirth. I tried to implement Steam Input, but the x86 dll is not exactly easy to come by and the API is all over the place. Not a big deal, SDL3 is still a very robust replacement.

@adasfile the meme is real

homelander is really in the same tier as speed and flight for reaction gifs 😭

@bigFatBallss3 Unfortunately, youtu.be/4oibP2oAwkQ

@AL2009man Wait, for real?

this guy got mad that you cant look up Ashley's skirt in the remake

New Bluey episode was sick

@SIMIFU10 shit you're right youtu.be/zxDxlcjcvkQ

I dont know if that influence is real but let me show you one thats legit true.

@MugenBeastSFW @RossCastro @conjuredlion ...the original Resident Evil 4 is the game that introduces Adaptive Difficulty as a Resident Evil standard going forward. and Shinji Mikami loves Adaptive Difficulty to the point that he made it a game mechanic in God's Hand.

Dude really said Resident Evil 4 Remake got rid of the tension because of the parry, meanwhile the original provided you with a shotgun at the start of the game that can blast a ganado and salvador 30ft away. What are we doing lol
