Does this allow the DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction to work?

Don't worry. They'll turn them into live-service games with repetitive content and immersion-breaking cosmetic micro-transactions. You'll grind through the same few stealth levels with some barely random enemy permutations marketed as "infinite open world content". Your coop partner will be someone dressed in red cargo shorts, a purple mohawk wig, and a weapon that has so many random attachments on it you can't figure out whether it's a microscope, a dildo, or a sniper rifle.

I got burned pretty bad by QNAP. Their TS-453 Pro had an Intel manufacturing defect that basically caused it to die prematurely and QNAP has basically given up all responsibility for it. I built my own NAS after that experience.

Residential ISPs almost never respond to reports of inefficient routes unless you are one of their peers

Oh man, fucking tell me about it. I remember Verizon support gave the absolute runaround when I was trying to debug why my server was absolute garbage in San Jose vs LA. Took me 3 separate support calls for them to finally do something about it. It also took me a while to figure out it was an ISP issue in the first place.

Good. The last thing I want is more live-service games.

I am not sure if it's just people being lazy. Steam legitimately is a good gaming platform. It just has so many features that really bring the PC platform to the level of consoles in terms of UX. Social features, discussion boards, reviews, matchmaking, chat, broadcasting, remote streaming, all this alongside a kickass store. That's why Valve could roll out something like Steam OS and not have it feel woefully inadequate compared to what consoles offer.

The whole idea of investments always going up is an absurd idea that needs to go. At this point I infinitely prefer a private company over a publicly traded one.

I am actually hoping more for a Steam Machine. A standalone VR headset will be dead in the water. It won't have enough processing power to power any PCVR experiences adequately.

I feel like the situation is a bit different for PC no? There's a history of backwards compatibility since forever. Yes PC game stores like Steam are all digital, but there was never a chance that the store would just close down when a generation was over, unlike in the console space.

It was never the case that you literally had to purchase the game on top of the subscription fees

It depends on the game. There were a bunch of games under "Stadia Play" that came along with the subscription, GamePass style. And then there were games you had to outright purchase.

Sigh, I've lost all interest in Bungie ever since they doubled-down on live-service games.

And your point is? Just because it is open source doesn't make it automatically good and it doesn't excuse the company running the project from being competitive lol.

AMD hardware doesn't have the dedicated AI cores to make it work well anyway.

If you’re using it in a hateful way against someone or a people, then sure, that bastard should face some consequences.

That's exactly what the creator of this mod intended and its hilarious that you don't see that.

In Australia the racist word people used for indigenous was ‘coon’. I’ve never used it and I never will.

Think about it this way. There's a reason why you don't use it, right? There's a reason why your friends don't use it. If one of your friends uses it all the time to hate on others, would you be okay with that? If its as offensive as you say it is and I have no reason to doubt otherwise, would you want to be associated with that? Probably not. You're making conscious decisions every day about who you want to hang out with, who you want to be associated with. You've cultivated your own community of people who you like and want to hang out with.

That's exactly what Nexus Mods is doing. They want to cultivate a community that's gender inclusive. They don't want to deal with people who aren't, nor give them a platform to do so. They're within their right to do so.

Just because Nexus Mods is an online community doesn't mean it's different from real life. That's what people fail to understand.

Lol I feel like you're just proving my point. The question isn't whether these mods exist. Of course they do. But an entire country has made such symbolism illegal specifically because its a bad part of their past and they find it offensive. They're within their right to do so and so is Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods are allowed to remove whatever content they find offensive to cultivate the community that they want.

I was seeing 30-40% performance loss in BG3

Were you using the Vulkan renderer after Patch 2? There's a massive performance regression that got introduced with that Patch. DX11 still works fine tho.

the stutters were too frequent to play Apex Legends

This should be fixed after graphics pipeline library support was added to both Nvidia and AMD. If you tried it before that, it was indeed a stuttery mess. It is dramatically better now.

No one is forcing the mod on you. Is it really that harmful that it exists?

Yes, in very much the same way that hate speech is moderated out of communities, and for good reason. Allowing this stuff to exist is basically saying that this is okay when it frankly isn't. Imagine if there was a mod out there that removed your entire race and culture out of the game. How would that make you feel if you were just scrolling through the list of mods? It's just a shitty statement to make.

We moderate things like the N-word and antisemitic Nazi bullshit out of forums all the time. This is the exact same thing and if you can't see that, well frankly you're probably in a position of privilege.

Tolerance goes both ways. I tolerate your beliefs and you tolerate mine.

This argument is frequently used by the intolerant to justify their actions. The one's who identify as they aren't the ones going around telling those who identify as he or she that they're wrong. It's the other way around. You're completely misidentifying who's being intolerant here.

I am not saying AMD should get DLSS to run somehow on their GPUs. I am saying that their competiting technology, FSR 2, just isn't at the same quality level. If FSR 2 didn't exhibit extremely bad disocclusion artifacts and particle ghosting, or even worked decently well at lower resolutions, I wouldn't be complaining. But it really is just a subpar upscaling solution that gets beaten out even by Intel's XeSS, which was a late arrival to the scene.

Welp, I just got hit by a wave of nostalgia.

If only my usb-c dock supported it hahaha. Any alternatives to the official dock to get this kind of support?

It was something about adding group to my docker compose file that did the trick.

Ah yes, I do remember something about certain distros limiting access to /dev/dri/renderD128, so maybe adding the group gave the docker process the necessary permissions? I am not sure, just making guesses right now. Super glad you got it working though!

Next issue, Swiftfin for Apple TV needs quite a bit of polish

Yeah, this is definitely one of the areas Jellyfin needs to catch up on. Their app support is a bit buggy, if not entirely unavailable on certain SmartTV platforms. Definitely an adjustment. I use the Jellyfin chromecast app, and its also buggy with subtitles. Every time I seek, the subtitles get duplicated. I am sure this will all get ironed out over time.
