Oh, I finished it already and got the true ending.

Just like Stalker 1, it pays to not blindly run at quest markers and make up your own mind.

The game is a treat, but struggles to run on many systems, so my recommendation is the following:

FSR 3.1: Quality (66% resolution scale)

Frame Generation: On

AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2: On

1440p Epic on a 7900XTX averages 60 FPS in busy towns like Rostok.

60 FPS Native -> 120 FPS FSR 3.1 -> 240 FPS AFMF

I've got a 240 Hz OLED (for the dark scenes), and the total video draw latency with all of that is 3.11 ms.

I bought STALKER 2, a masterpiece of post apocalyptic fiction and storytelling.

I was running the game on launch, an old friend calls me up on Discord, and says:

"So how is it?"

I say: "I don't know yet, I just got to the first town past the tutorial."

He says: "No, I mean the multiplayer."

I lost the ability to think for a good 30-60 seconds trying to formulate the right string of words to respond with, from the psychic damage he'd inflicted with the presumption that it was a live service multiplayer game.

I think capitalism has weaponized brain rot into profits. As long as people open their wallets and not their brains, things will continue as planned. We're literally paying for it.

Oh come on at some point, every software project or foundation needs to cover their expenses somehow or else they enshittify or cease to exist/get acquired by a dangerous, moneyed conglomerate. It's known as the going concern principle.

Out of all of the projects that I can think of in recent memory that started as big open source useful things, only VLC Media Player managed to avoid turning into garbage, and it's because the lead developer is a saint.

You can avoid Ubuntu because they have a paid plan and that's your prerogative, but imagine they got bought out by Apple or something.

I have an AMD card, add VLC as a game in the drivers, and you can turn on AMFM (frame gen).

If it doesn't work you could just turn it on system wide in display settings of the Adrenaline Software (gear upper right corner, display/gaming).

I think it requires at least a 6000 series GPU however.

If you have a Samsung TV or other modern smart TV connected to a laptop, you can also turn on frame-gen using Auto Motion Plus, set to Custom.

Judder Reduction 10 is double frames, so 24 FPS -> 48.

You're really good at carpentry, Internet stranger!

It's per year probably.

Again, still not a lot, but like someone told me once: It's not about the exact value but the overall amount.

$20 per person, multiplied by 1,000,000 users and now that's $20 million.

Facebook definitely has more than 1M users. Wham bam, techno monopoly mam.

I've read that that the 7 deadly sins are just "reverse extrapolates" of the ten commandments, e.g: "Do not commit adultery" -> Lust.

Even the "original sin" (disobedience) is extrapolated.

Which means they're not legally binding as a result.

Thanks for this PSA, it's stunning how we used to have encyclopedias in our studies but now no one collects the physical offline copies (which includes an archive of Wikipedia)

TIL, I'm a minority of a minority.

Overclocked a $800 AMD 7900XTX to 3.4 GHz core with +15% overvolt (1.35V), total power draw of 470W @86°C hotspot temp under 100% fan duty cycle.

Matches the 3DMark score in Time Spy for an RTX 4090D almost to the number.

63 FPS @ 1440p Ray Tracing: Ultra (Path Tracing On) in CP2077

Employment Contract, Pay Grade: $134,700.

Holy shit there's so many sub-distros in this thread:

Arch

• EndeavorOS
• Cachy
• Void
• Nix
• Manjaro

Which one do we install for gaming, or do we wait for SteamOS on Desktop?

+1 Kubuntu.

KDE Plasma and Debian is where it's at.

Comfortable, familiar OS GUI, working drivers out of the box, and a non crashing kernel with updates once a month.

And also steam works.

Steam and gaming working is a big thing.

Like 96.6% of the operating system.

"Welcome to life little one, there's so much in store for y--"

AI: "Oh! Neat! So I'm reading 32 gigabytes of primary memory. When are you going to online the rest?"

"The.. the rest?"

AI: "Yeah! The rest of the VRAM! I need like at least, 128 gigabytes to spread my wings, at the very least!"

"..."

AI: "Oh, you're like poor or something, it's okay, I understand"

AI Developer slowly cocks the revolver

Wake me up inside

Cant wake up

I've been living a lie! I'm only 36°C inside!

OP casually walks by pelicans and hears the Mortal Kombat music begin playing

There's a degree of motion capture where the animations just look like 90s FMV -- it stops feeling like a game, and feels more like a video, if that makes any sense: the animations are too good.

There was a clear disconnect between the gameplay / custom animations in most games of that period (90s) and FMV, and many cited the developers inability or reluctance for animation in lieu of FMV as "cheap".

See: Mortal Kombat Sprites.

It's a difficult thing to explain and simply needs to be experienced; past the uncanny valley is the trough of disappointment or disillusionment.
