Interesting thanks for the info, it looks pretty intense/fast paced for what I’m into right now, but I may give it a try in the future.

People are coping so hard with starfield. There have been several major red flags already and I have really low expectations. I’m going to wait a week for reviews and real gameplay, and then make a decision.

Actual quotes from Shuji Utsumi: “The action in play-to-earn games is boring,” Utsumi told Bloomberg News. “What’s the point if games are no fun?” “We’re looking into whether this technology is really going to take off in this industry, after all,” he added.

To add from the article: “Sega does plan to let external partners use its lesser-known Three Kingdoms and Virtua Fighter characters for non-fungible tokens, a sort of certificate that confirms ownership of a digital asset.”

“Sega will still offer its lesser franchises to several blockchain games to be announced later this year, and will continue to invest in related projects — to the tune of hundreds of millions of yen in each case, Utsumi said. The technology remains useful, for instance by making it possible to move characters and items between different games, he said. Longer-term, Sega remains open to getting more involved as the technology matures.”

I guess no one reads articles and just wants to bash new technology, makes sense. Next time use a non-editorialized title and use actual quotes.

This has been a trend for a lot of tech related things in this economy. Higher prices, less features, worse user experience.

CS:GO ban wave results in over $2 million worth of skins and other items becoming being lost more rare. 😀 👍

It’s great to see the Steam Deck actively improving handheld gaming.

“art assets generated by artificial intelligence that appears to be relying on copyrighted material owned by third parties.”

It makes absolutely no difference how the copyrighted material came to be, if you generate a shitty image of a copyrighted character to put in your game it doesn’t matter if it was generated or hand drawn it’s still copyrighted. People just like focusing on AI generated images because it gets more attention for clickbait headlines.

Gaben will provide, have faith.

They can fix the relationship with their players by releasing a great free overhaul update like they say they will alongside the huge expansion DLC. I hope it’s good, I’m definitely going to be doing another playthrough once it’s live.

India has been heading in the wrong direction, potentially such a powerful country being limited in their feedoms by their own government.

lol this image

All those gambling addict’s losses going straight into the multi-millionaire’s pocket, fuck yea I love capitalism, let’s race to the end faster with AI late stage buddies.

You love to see it. I just played, absolutely no performance issues. I hope to see some patches soon though for some slight annoyances like the “beta build” text on screen constantly even though it’s barely visible.

Definitely a bit hyped about it, but I’m going to wait a bit to watch some gameplay and see what the reviews say.

This article has a graph of GPU total power (Watts) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

I would be interesting to see a ratio of Frames/Watts for power efficiency.

Just because something they reference is out of date, does not mean the article is less relevant.

Yes it does.

lol giving blizzard money

I gave GTA Online another try a couple months ago for the Drug Wars update. The loading times and unskippable cutscenes just made it impossible to enjoy. I even had it on a solid state and the load times were unbearable.

Sounds unfair to criticize an article from 2021 for not being up to date

An article from 2021 which hasn’t been updated is by definition not up to date. Neither of the articles you posted even have the 3060ti on the list. Nothing you wrote actually debunks my refutation.

I don’t trust anyone saying userbenchmark is biased without their own set of information to back up their claim. Using reddit drama as an excuse to not use a tool is weak.

The article you posted claims this:

“However, consider this: UserBenchmark mentions the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super in their GPU section as faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT.”

This claim in the article is factually incorrect at the current time.

If by “fun” you mean “rage inducing” then yes I agree. That mud part of the video looks like it would be so painful to fail on and watch your dude just slide down over and over. Thankfully not a Playstation 5 exclusive though. 😂

The places I see them gaining traction are areas with manatees and wildlife that can be harmed by conventional propellers. If the local government enacts legislation that requires the use of them to protect wildlife for instance.

I remember reading about these a little while ago. Supposedly toroidal propellers aren’t that good for high RPM and high speeds, but they’re really good for things like submarines and they also create no bubbles/sound. Another big benefit is they don’t harm wildlife such as manatees because they don’t have blades.

It’s a less mature platform with less features and not enough content.

Well… that’s kinda why I like it lol

Off to a great horrible start! Absolutely not touching this game until I see in depth gameplay reviews.

Yea I understand that, it’s a bit overwhelming to be presented with a shit ton of servers, there are around 79 general servers as of right now to choose from. https://joinmastodon.org/servers

It was simple for me personally, but I guess I’m a more advanced internet enjoyer?

1. went to https://joinmastodon.org/
2. clicked “create account”
3. went to c.im
4. then to https://c.im/auth/sign_up
5. accepted agreement
6. created account
7. became mastodon enjoyer

With Mastodon as a strong alternative I really don’t understand why people use twitter at all anymore. There have been so many negative changes that have happened to twitter over the past 2 years.

Meanwhile microsoft is trying to automate itself away with AI lol

Glad to see more competition in the GPU market, but the Arc cards are still not cheap enough to really take away much market share.

Userbenchmark still has the 3060ti +16% over the a770 and on the market currently the 3060ti is cheaper than the a770.

Real gameplay seems to start at 1:56. It seems pretty smooth, but my expectations are that it’s going to be a buggy shitshow on release. What seems like about 0:16 of real live gameplay in a 3:08 long video reinforces my expectations, I wouldn’t get hyped about it until we see REAL gameplay on REAL people’s PCs and the xbox.

Anyone else see stuttering in the video or just me? Not looking good if that’s the case.

He said verbatim: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump then you ain’t black” At 0:57 https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=We6Qr9-dDn8

LOL wtf

“The total number of crashes involving the technology is minuscule compared with all road incidents; NHTSA estimates that more than 40,000 people died in wrecks of all kinds last year.”

Are these automation accidents occurring disproportionately compared to human driver car accidents? I don’t care to do the calculation, neither did the author.

Oh nice, good to know, thanks again.

Interesting thanks, that makes sense. Where can I see my instance’s list of blocks?

It seems like https://lemmygrad.ml/ is blocked as well. I’ve tried viewing through this instance and it doesn’t work. I’ve looked at some accounts on https://lemmygrad.ml/ and they don’t have any posts on any other instances.
