"Well, first of all, they're completely wrong," Huang said in response to a question from Tom's Hardware editor-in-chief Paul Alcorn about the criticism.

"The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI," Huang continued.

Just a elongated way to say AI slop.

I will be launching my first Steam page 😺 in future, okay?

Another group claiming they have people on the team who worked on Guitar Hero and Rock Band. This one looking more like the clone games that already exist.

Also has a fall release date in early access. Originally first to be announced this year. A lot of concern about AI generated content.

No song list either.

Might not be buying any of these out of the gate

Apropos of nothing Flappy Bird floated across my mind today. It struck me odd how little people seem to refer to it now, given how popular it got. I was reading its Wikipedia page; the game was pulling in $50k USD a day and the dev pulled it because he thought it was too addictive. Or possibly because he didn't feel like he could defend against the claims that he'd ripped off other games and got in over his head. It's a fascinating story.

But the game itself I never got into. I tried it once on a friend's phone and quickly had no more interest in playing it. I'm curious to know from people who played it a lot at the time, was it a good game? Does it hold up? Or was it a relatively generic knock-off that got famous because catapulting random ideas into the global consciousness is just a thing the internet does sometimes?

Copy pasted from a steam discussion I made that got buried

So for the most part I use steam workshop but I'm trying to install configurable xp gain. So first off is there a way to disable building/crafting/gathering xp without mods to save myself myself the headache. But can't seem to get it to work fully, picking items seems to work but im still getting the constant +2 xp (im assuming from a pal cooking berries non stop)
And this is all on my PC havent tried it on the deck yet.

But the reason I would like to do it manually is I hop between my pc (windows) and steam deck, and figured installing manually would save me the headache of finagling with some linux specific stuff and having to run the NMM app... and all that.

Some important details, I am using the workshop version of UE4SS on my PC, IDK if that makes a difference and I'm just being stupid and using something that doesnt work. However on my deck I have the github version with a protontricks fix and a launch command from a guide.

I feel like this is related to using the steam version but the description wants the mod to be installed in
...\Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\Mods
However there was no mods folder so i made one, didnt work. Then through trial and error found it partially worked in
...\Palworld\Mods\NativeMods\UE4SS\Mods
where there was already a mods folder

And now im here scratching my head wondering if im being stupid

The spring steam sale is March 19th. Are there any games that you've been waiting to purchase that you might get then? Me personally I have been looking at Routine and Outer Worlds 2.

Bethesda has announced its long-awaited list of updates and additions to Starfield, which fans have been anticipating as the game's 'version 2.0' moment.

Today’s game is Mario Kart DS. I was planning to play Metal Gear Solid Delta and even finish it. My computer had other plans. To cut a long story short, the boot partition just decided it felt like being full today. No reason why. I couldn’t empty it though try as I might. It owed to fun issues like: not being able to log in, not being able to update, and booting right into emergency mode. Somewhere in the 5 hours I guess my eyes glazed over and I accidentally deleted my home directory. Not to worry though. As some fucking genius made an app called PhotoRec and I was able to recover them from a live partition. Christophe Grenier. I don’t know who you are but I could fucking kiss you man. Everything is a little out of sorts but a few hours and I can fix that. The worst part will just be reinstalling things. Which I can do.

Anyways. So. Mario Kart DS. I picked this because it was either this or 7. I wanted to give this a try so I picked it. My First impressions are that it’s a very basic modern Mario Kart. Is that a bad thing? No. Not at all. It laid the ground work for a lot of what we have now. And especially Wii. But I also think that means there’s not much of a reason to return to this one if you didn’t grow up with it.

The track selection is pretty good. Delphine Square was pretty on the graphics. And of course there’s Waluigi Pinball. My personal favorite is DK Pass purely for the theme. But there’s some other good tracks too I have yet to unlock.

Maybe it was just my character choice but I did find myself struggling a lot though. Especially on this desert track where it felt like I was sliding fucking everywhere. The drifting especially I had trouble with.

Ultimately today was definitely me trying to make the best of a bad situation. For future reference definitely do backups. I’m a fucking idiot for not doing so. The lack of screenshots today is also on me because my Screenshot Archive on my DS was of course filled to the brim too. That’s why today is a little barebones. I would have had a full cup had it not been for that.

The feature, which is buried at the bottom of Nintendo's patch notes, allows for boosted Switch 1 games when playing in handheld, with performance akin to playing with the console docked.

In 2005, a bug in World of Warcraft turned Azeroth into a virtual pandemic, and gave scientists a rare glimpse into human behavior during an outbreak.

So recently I started a page in a notebook where I jotted down article ideas. Older games with interesting stories to them. Just as a part of a series of retrospectives I've been writing. So far I have done:

• Seaman
• GoldenEye 007
• Star Fox 2
• EarthBound
• Dune II
• Uniracers

...and now, obviously, World of Warcraft. This one is a bit more brief than the others, but the story is fascinating to me. An unexpected bug caused so much drama, and it ended up being studied. It came back to focus when Covid hit, it was covered by regular 'big' news services, the whole thing is such an odd story to me.

Anyway, I had a great time writing this up, maybe you were ther when it happened? I'd love to hear a comment if so!

I'm completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it's running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.

The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace's face look "sexier" because apparently that's what realism looks like now.

I wouldn't be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they're advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.

Pretty wild!

I have one and I have been enjoying it.

Today’s game is some more Metal Gear Solid Delta. I cleared all the way to the sorrow today. I’ve started getting a whole lot better at the gameplay too which makes it a whole lot more enjoyable.

Namely I wish I had known the lab coat makes me invisible to non-scientists. It would have been so handy before. I thought it just made me harder to detect in lab settings.

The sorrow’s fight was amazing too, it at first had me a little scared because I didn’t realize it was coming up. After seeing The End’s ghost floating upside down though it cracked me up and I couldn’t take it seriously.

I also found this fun reference on the table when escaping. I thought it was a cool nod to the magazine and it was cool to find.

I have a feeling I’m getting close to the end. All the loose ends started by the game are closing and pretty soon I’ll be fighting Volgin I assume. I’m thinking about a second play through. I kind of want to 100% it like I did Silent Hill 2 (and plan to do for f)

Nothing can beat Licar

I want to watch a play through of RE9. I’ve played almost all the games in the series, but this one is kinda priced high and I want to give watching someone else play it a chance.

I’m looking for a streamer who isn’t very noisy and distracting. I hope they can be focused on the game and less on chat and stuff.

I’m hoping they take the time to look around and not just rush through everything.

Based on this, is there a streamer you recommend?
