  • demon tides has been a great goofy game, and the newest update added a full on built in randomizer

    i never tried the demo so i dont know how up to date it is, but i strongly recommend looking in to it
    the mario kart world track discourse is funny to watch because i actually like the track to track races more

    not only that, but my biggest gripe with MK8DX was literally that i dont like 3 lap races because it feels like such an arbitrary number

    i can understand the "straight line" complaints and they could definitely do more to improve it, i especially wish charge jumps were a more core part of the experience for the blander sections

    but at the same time, man its so refreshing to not do 3 laps (at the expense of getting crucified by the vocal side of the playerbase for not voting the 3 map option every time)
    the majority of the time, i find ray/path tracing in games to feel less accurate to real life than just whatever the native shading was

    i was looking around for games with good implementation of it, and cyberpunk was the the most recommended one, so im looking at comparisons and it feels like a solid 70/30 split on whether it hurts or improves immersion in any given example

    Camera footage is the closest analog we have to real life that can be studied and compared to. Obviously, it's not as easy to measure exactly what our eyeballs capture, and it differs slightly from person to person.

    I think it's also a bit of a technical limitation. Light reflects and scatters infinitely in real life, leading shadows to be softer. Real time path tracing has to hard cap the number of times light can reflect off a surface. Given more powerful hardware, it's as simple as turning up the number of reflections to get a more accurate result. But for each time the light scatters, hardware requirements go up tenfold.

    Subjectively, I think that the image on the right could use tonemapping to get a better (more visually pleasing) result. That's sort of cheating but until we have computer hardware that's 100 times more powerful than what we have now, it's a necessary evil. Too much detail is lost because the shadows are so dark. It might look better in HDR because then tonemapping is applied (and contrast in general is improved)
    i wonder what's going on in the realm of gaming... news... today...

    maybe gaming isn't dead after all :ph34r:
    oh the name changes have to be approved i thought the reason was for fun
    i have fully swapped over to AMD hardware and its been making this attempt at swapping to linux so much nicer... things dont just not work for no reason like they did in all the previous attempts

    To beat the Sleep Paralysis Demon all you have to do is to take control of your dream and replace the annoying tech tutorial youtuber with a competent tech tutorial youtuber with an Indian accent (you know they're the best!).
    Then you will be free from the Sleep Paralysis Demon, and learn something new.
    no matter how far i go in life, how much i grow and adapt and overcome, and how much i accomplish...

    one thing always remains a constant:
    i don't think i would recommend luigi's mansion 2 HD if you already own the 3ds version

    they didnt do a great job with adapting the controls
    I've never been excited for a pokemon game prior but legends zaza looks so fun

    tried emerald, then xy, then a ds one, then sun and moon

    then violet recently because of zaza hype, and i have actually been loving violet but for a pretty funny reason; the game offers a lot in common of what i love about elden ring that keeps me coming back

    I played red first on the OG fat Gameboy and absolutely loved it - it helped all my friends loved Pokemon too

    Of course at that time every little kid was watching the movies, the anime, had the cards etc. Even if the games were bad we would have loved it because it was just such a phenomenon

    I used to have the Mew card you get for going to the Pokemon 2000 movie
    has DLSS always sucked or has implementation of it just continually gotten worse because i feel like i never had issues with it years back whereas now it makes modern games look like theyre dipped in vaseline
