Hey there everyone here, my name's Zenta. Some quick notes about me:
I purposely waited until I had at least 10 posts before making this thread, so I could use an image signature.
I am a forum moderator staff (and discord moderator) on a certain well known "warez" forum website that I am not allowed to say due to GBATemp's rules, but 90% of you will know what it is just from me saying "Black Umbrella Piracy".
I have been with the console "modding" scene for quite a long time and have always used GBATemp for guides and/or help for many many years, but never registered.
As my signature states, my career is in the 3D Digital Design/Art field, which is not as lucrative a business as I thought it was, so I'm just a contractor for whatever company needs 3D Models at the time of hiring.
I was born in Finland, lived there for about 20 years.
I moved to the USA around 2008 and have been here ever since, but still have a very strong sense of Finland pride.

That aside, I'm a gamer, like the rest of you. My "modded" systems include 3DS, PSPgo, Switch, DSLite, and an Xperia Android phone with custom ROM.
Tonight I intend to start getting into Spyro: Reignited on PS4 (unmodded), and have never played any Spyro game before, short of a demo of the first. Looking forward to it. :yay:

Feel free to ask me anything you want. :teach:

I'll fit in from a person that references anal sex in their a

Aw, see? That's the spirit.

Look at you, already quoting and using emoji....I'll bet you'll be knee-deep in the EoF in a few days.

Seriously, judge not the member for their avatar, judge the actions of that member with regard to you.

Yup, that's true. As a forum moderator on a big/major "gaming" forum, I have indeed learned that avatars don't always indicate what the person is like. It was a joke, rolling with yours.

If you don't mind me asking, why, in all the .net's out there, would you want to come from a position of authority, to being a pleeb?
Because being a pleb here is still higher ranking than a mod there :tpi:

It's all okay--I told you, I have a crystal ball. I didn't tell you, I see the future.

SimplyPut: I think of it this way - The Black Umbrella site that I mod on is more of the supplier. I think of GBATemp as the actual instructor for the supplies.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
