Guess I’m not going.

How does heat mitigate the dendrites? Also doesn’t extreme heat damage the batteries? They barely hold up under high temperatures as-is.

The term is “Vegetative Electron Microscopy,” same as the other articles on this you may have seen.

Are you being paid to post here?

The way I see there was a 15 hour long free game that came with my purchase of Monster Hunter. It wasn’t much good but I’m glad to play Monster Hunter after that.

Performance-wise, the game is bottlenecked not just by CPU and GPU but also by asset streaming. Put it on your fastest NVME drive and make sure you have enough GPU headroom for DirectStorage to do its work.

Nvidia - $50, the way it’s meant to be played.

I much prefer Microsoft to Google.

You don’t respond to trolls. This is one of the earliest rules of the internet.

Yup, I didn’t get it because there simply wasn’t enough seasonal content, loot boxes, battle passes, and FOMO elements. Better luck next time EA!

No doubt in my mind that Silicon > Carbon.

The world would lose nothing if DeBeers went away, I think.

I agree, I was referring to ML supersampling and antialiasing in general.

DLSS isn’t just frame generation, the SS in name is for Super Sampling. It’s the best solution we have to graphical issues like subpixel shimmering and moire effects that are especially prevalent in modern titles due to contemporary graphical effects and expectations, and it might be quite a while before we invent something better.

I also don’t see how hobbyists can install undersea cables.

The needles do smell pretty good…

China’s good at this kind of thing, could go to them for advice on setting it up.

AFAIK China has few, if any, viable domestically produced alternatives to Nvidia or Intel hardware.

I would. I’ve tried many MH-like games. God Eater, Wild Hearts, Toukiden etc, and find them all enjoyable.

Monster Hunter.

I’m extremely picky, and I’m lucky to have a game I love to bits that’s been consistent the last two decades. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, and I’ve come to accept it. I still play games socially with my friends, even if I wouldn’t have played that game by myself.

I went through the same thing you did, trying games that are popular and finding that I don’t enjoy them that much, and then thinking that I’ve become jaded and no longer enjoy games. However when I do play a game I enjoy I enjoy it very much indeed, so perhaps I’m not jaded after all.

There’s no accounting for taste.
