Thats render permanence. The reference to the object is still there in the level layout and its properties are still there in the object array.
Its just all invisible
… and if you are more clever, you can even simulate dynamic interactions going on, out of the occlusion culled render window, between various systems and actors.
A whole, invisible, living world, doing its thing, without you.
Or…
… is it really just temporarily invisible?
When you dream of being a butterfly… do you not see the world of the butterfly?
The world of the dreamer, well, now that’s invisible, beyond the experience of the butterfly dreamer.
Perception is indeed in the eye of the beholder; the nature of reality can be more of an ontological, or even etymylogical question, than a practical one.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s around, did it make a sound?
No. It was a very sneaky tree.
It depends on if any players, or sound aware NPCs, were near enough to it that it may matter.
Yes. This version of reality (existence) was designed to be rendered live and on the fly without limitations. Therefore, everything has to be up and running all the time, even when not observed. Even millions of light years away, there’s a rock on a planet that sits there everyday while you do people things. It exists just as much as you do. The universe is the display, the hardware, the coding, and you in the seat, all at once. Now that’s what I call omnipotence. I’m pretty proud of it.
Get a load of the guy that made stalin, hitler, pol pot, and all the others bragging about it over here.
If you only know how silly that sounded. You’re not exempt from this act.
You sound like my high school counselor.
No because that would be unnecessary computation, but a fast calculation on the physics and collisions will be done so its is save to say “the tree fell” because we can observe the results of said fall
or maybe the tree spawns fallen
The entire universe was pre-rendered and spawned into existence 5 minutes ago
False, time began at 00:00:00 Jan 1st, 1970.
Can I ask you for a favour, can you read this as slow as you can? this way I get to experience existence for a bit longer. heard a lot about this whole existing… nevermind, it’s overrated, you can stop reading now, I want this “exciting” thing to stop. thanks.
I will continue rereading this until I die :3
please stop, existance is a curse, things are getting weird.
Sorry, but I’m not actually the one keeping you around. I’m only an ephemeral internet character, not a physical being. Must be the people who find your comments funny :3
I only exist because you are witnessing me, I am not real either.
Does that mean that we both exists because we each are ephemeral unreal creatures witnessing each other? like a beam of light eternally bouncing between two mirrors?
We need to end this convo for you to truly be free
Anyhow, how was your day? :)
So far so good, got a hearing for something (divorce dad problems). but otherwise nothing to note. Yesterday my kids were making trouble not going to bed and locking their room. they were telling me they do not need to obey authority because I teach them about anarchism… it turns out they were making me a makeshift bed for me to be comfy while reading them Lord of the rings, I almost cried when I found out. I do not deserve them.
Don’t ban me for not being a cute girl, I am a figment of your imagination so if anything it is your fault.
How about you?
hmm, sounds like your wonderful kids are keeping you from dematerializing. Unless of course they’re also figments of my imagination :3
Sorry to butt in, but your realize the internet has… more than two users, right?
Are you sure you are a user or just a figment of notJessica’s imagination? and you only exist when she is thinking of you?
Yes.
I am sure I am an indepdent entity.
This one simple trick increases framerate by 90fps
DLSS?
FSR?
Dedicated thread(s) for physics calcs?
Pre compiling shaders?
Using a more fine tuned and optimized anti aliasing algorithm?
Spritesheets/TextureMaps?
Baked lighting?
Intelligent asset pre-caching?
dlss (100%) is actually the best thing ever idc how many fps I lose it looks so much better
I… uh… what?
DLSS does not cause you to lose fps, it causes you to gain them, by reducing image quality.
DLSS 100% would… just be … the same as not using DLSS, as you would not be reducing image quality at all.
You would only lose fps running DLSS if you’re comparing different games, on the same hardware, where one game requires DLSS and the other does not…
…and that first game is very graphically intensive and cannot really be run without DLSS, whereas the other game doesn’t need DLSS…
… or, your hardware simply doesn’t well support DLSS.
Either way, both are apples to oranges comparisons.
DLSS at 100% is DLAA which does lose fps but is (imo) the best AA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Anti-Aliasing
(technically DLAA and DLSS 100% might be different but they’re essentially the same to my eyes 🤷♀️)
The reason people dont believe this is because it isnt as easy to prove its happening as in video games
My autistic partner whenever I leave the room:
This is how god saves on RAM
Nah, he installed chrome. that is why reality sucks now. full of bloat and ads
Don’t look at me! I want to finally fade away into nothing = 🫥
i can’t help it ur so beautiful 🥹
Of course, saves on rendering. Why should the simulation render things that won’t be actively perceived or interacted.
Permanence. Object permeance is easily testable.
So this is why all of the women disappear out of my life. Here I was worried I was doing something wrong, like a regular nervous Nellie!
Something I think about is what if cause and effect happens backwards, too. So every moment both the past and the future are changing. We’d never even know.
Only for the main character, for all of the NPCs they don’t even have a view rendered.
