  • democracy can be viewed as a dictatorship of the majority

    No. If you had even the most basic theoretical background on the subject you'd know how wrong this statement is. Yet people like you dangerously believe this surface level third grade understanding of democratic systems somehow makes them an expert.

  • Perhaps consider watching the recording or reading what actually happened before typing a massive rant claiming others are wrong?

  • People born when Windows 7 was released can get a driver's license in many parts of the world

  • When I first heard of NFTs I thought the media was encoded within the blockchain - in that case sure, I wouldn't necessarily buy one but I understand how that'd be interesting.

    Ten minutes later when I was told they are just proof of purchase that points to a URL hosting your monkey image somewhere, I knew they were a total scam

  • That's a fair point in general, and a good reminder.

    But a person using AI is telling me they don't value their own mind to the point they rather outsource it to a dumb prediction machine, so why exactly am I supposed to entertain their commentary?

  • How is a complaint about script quality somehow disproven by Veo 3, a video generation AI?

    Did you ask an AI to come up with a reply?

  • Nope. They just don't know what they're talking about, something unfortunately common when talking about Proton.

  • Have you used DLSS or are you extrapolating FSR 1080p and believing it looks the same?

  • LLMs can't describe themselves or their internal layers. You can't ask ChatGPT to describe it's censorship.

    Instead, you're getting a reply based on how other sources in the training set described how LLMs work, plus the tone appropriate to your chat.

  • I didn't claim it doesn't work. I claimed there's a reason out of hundreds of releases, you have a singular example of a forward renderer.

    Which means TAA will keep being a problem, so my remark that DLSS is miles ahead applies to pretty much all games, even if once in a blue moon you find an exception.

  • To be fair, smart background removal was a feature from Picasa over a decade ago. We just didn't call everything "AI" to make shareholders happy.

  • The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

    The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

    That's exactly what's going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

  • Unfortunately, while Valve outsourcing repairs and parts to iFixit is great for most regions, iFixit stopped shipping to my country a few years ago, so this complicates things quite a lot :(

  • There's a reason you had to fish for an exception to find a modern game with a forward rendering engine.

  • I'll take DLSS over any other AA solution any day.

    We no longer use forward renderers, AA either looks like ass or comes with a massive performance cost, and it can't fix noise from foliage, alphas, smoke, etc. DLSS fixes all three issues at once.

  • We can't criticise a massive price increase on games and insane markups for a 480p webcam in 2025 because... People are having fun?

    I mean, I can have lots of fun with asbestos too.

  • My battery is no longer holding up the same as it did when I first purchased mine, but I'm only replacing my Steam Deck for another gaming device when the Steam Deck 2 launches.

  • My comment is got blast processing, so I win

  • Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro
