Actually around half the budget of an AAA game is just marketing cost. Which feels wasteful, but if you need to recoup hundreds of millions it might be necessary.
I don't condone this, but we already had $60 games 10 years ago. If you simply add inflation you'd be at $81 today. That doesn't even take into account that modern games also have larger budgets compared to back then.
Video games really are a cheap hobby comparatively speaking. I still wait for sales of course :)
Windows 11 finally allows you to simply uninstall OneDrive. Before that you had to do weird registry hacks, that often broke something :-/
I also just got a warning, lol. Fuck them, I really need to come here more often :-/
Gravitated back to Reddit due to lacking content unfortunately..
I get all that, but it's still not what I'm trying to explain. If TAA is forced in a game that supports DLSS/FSR it's still not used in the image itself, but rather just the motion vector data gets piped into the new algorithm.
Otherwise even with DLSS/FSR active you'd have all the smearing and bad quality of the original TAA implementation, which you simply don't.
So it's just pedantic if a toggle in a game appears on/off or at all, if the engine just uses the motion vector data and then uses DLSS/FSR/XeSS or what have you to actually do the anti-aliasing.
TAA just means temporal anti aliasing. Temporal as in relying on data from the previous frames.
The implementation of DLSS and FSR are wholly separate from the old TAA. Yes, they work on the same principals, but do their own thing.
TAA as a setting gets disabled because the newer methodes fully overwrite it. Some games hide the old setting, others gray it out, it depends.
What? All Ray Tracing games already offer DLSS or FSR, which override TAA and handle motion much better. Yes, they are based on similar principles, but they aren't the mess TAA is.
True AGI would turn into the Singularity in no time at all. It's literally magic compared to what we have at the moment.
So yes, it would easily solve the climate crisis, but that wouldn't even matter at that point anymore.
Don't forget about spending thousands of hours in Diablo 4. And now he's eyeing up Path of Exile 2.
Hard working my ass, he spends more time on Twitter than I do at work.
It's even worse than that:
21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level).
So 1/5 can't read at all, and over HALF can't read better than an 11 year old.
I'm out of ideas on how to fix this, every now and then my Firefox browser gets a random white border around it. Windows 11, no compatibility mode active for the application.
When I maximize and minimize the window it goes away for a while.
One possible hint: This has started to show up after adding a third display (a 4K TV) to my setup. Even if the TV is fully off. But the TV is the only display which has a different resolution scaling active (all other displays are at 100%).
