DLSS 5 (slop filter) you mean? Because the regular old upscaling DLSS doesn’t really produce uncanny valley stuff. Only artifacts, and mostly on presets like Performance or Ultra Performance.

And I do also agree about RT. Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 both had great visually impactful ray tracing and GTA 6 (as much as it pains me to say it) looks like a fantastic showcase of real-time lighting.

Not sure it’s for me but it looks interesting. Also, what’s with all the moon games lately?

Which is a shame. I feel like REDengine was getting so close to being actually good. But I get it, though. Easier onboarding of staff etc with UE. More resources out there. More documentation. Less work on the engine and more on the game itself. I understand the reasoning, I just don’t like the UE near-monopoly.

Ah, I had actually missed this. Time to figure out a categorization system, I guess. I too have 200+ wishlist items…

I would also like to know. I think mentioning it might be fine, it’s the direct linking that would get you I think.

I mean, I know weird ass simulation games are an entire niche so this will probably sell some copies but it doesn’t look great to me to be honest. It tries really hard to be funny and that usually doesn’t end up with jokes that land. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the sizzle reel and doesn’t do the game justice.

Still, nice to see a new game that isn’t UE5.

Oh, it’s that game!? I remember that!

I got one wrong too. Never heard anyone use “neek”. Was it an American thing?

If it’s basic to love orchids I don’t want to be extra.

Ye olde prisoner’s dilemma.

God that brings me back. I think I remember using the Xbox skin but there was one more that I don’t remember the name of.

EDIT: managed to somehow find it after some web searching, but it’s not in the museum. It’s this one.

I was just about to say this would be a great post for !webrevival@lemm.ee but… yeah :/

Shame it hasn’t been revived at another instance as far as I know.

Man, I love relics of the old internet. I know it’s hard to believe for the younger generations but… this place used to be good.

Man, old Nokias were just peak. The E70 is still my favourite phone I’ve ever had, and I’m so sad about their downfall in general. At this point I’ve probably fully gotten used to a touchscreen, but I still miss that full QWERTY physical keyboard. Typed faster on that than I ever seem to be able to on a touch keyboard, even with autocorrect.

That was actually very interesting. The dedication of these lost media hunters is incredible. I unfortunately don’t think I have any old PCs left lying around to scan the cache of, though.

“I think that the idea that the MMO crowd doesn’t exist is belied by the number of players who are still in World of Warcraft”

I’m not saying the MMO crowd doesn’t exist (though I do hold the opinion that trying to launch a new MMO in this day and age is a fool’s errand - so, actually maybe I am saying that!). But this argument is really weak - WoW players aren’t playing because they want “an MMO”, they are playing because they want to play WoW. Either because they’re already so deeply entrenched in it, or because they want to recapture the nostalgia of ages past (see the success of WoW Classic and various pirate servers). There is absolutely no reason to think all these WoW players have any interest in a random new and different MMO.

There are upcoming MMOs? I thought we all accepted this genre is dead?

The gameplay looks pretty smooth, I have to give it that. Looks like it has potential to be fun to play. The rest of it I don’t know… I guess I haven’t seen enough of it to call it but for me it kind of feels like it is caught in between the random meme-game vibe and the played-straight action game? I need to see more I guess.

2->240 FPS Frame Generation, the future is here 🤯

Yikes!
