1·16 hours agoIt’s because I never tried to represent an absolute, but you still decided to reduce my argument into one. Most people don’t mod a game before trying it vanilla. The few excepts are games with notorious bugs or legacy titles that only work on modern systems with modifications.
Modding a game is an artistic activity that’s a key part of remix culture and doesn’t interfere with the original artist intent of the game because it’s something that happens after release. DLSS5 is a layer on top of the release game that’s there from the start.
An equalizer is something the end user does themselves to customize their experience of the music, but it doesn’t override the original music or the “canon”. Any music maker will understand the need for equalizers because of unique room setups. They would not appreciate if their music was fed through a autotuner though, especially if it’s something the hardware manufacturer is forcing on the end user without their knowledge.
Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.
An equalizer is a preferred option because everyone doesn’t have the same audio setup. Different speakers and different room setups will effect the audio. An equalizer is equivalent to the calibration settings in your display setting.

Many of those devs got their starts in the modding scene and understand remix culture. What Nvidia is doing is not that. What Nvidia is doing is tantamount to including Autotune in every music player.
3·1 day agoNo one probably told him about the ones that already exist. That or he’s jealous someone else already made it.

All for the service of a Live Service Game seems like such a waste of effort.
edit: To anyone that takes issue with my cynicism, can I play the Destiny 1 and 2 campaign from start to finish today?

A lot of the time, if they’re the writer or director, it shows though in the media.
You can also preserve Bananas by making dried Banana chips. Having too much of a fresh/shelf unstable crop could be a problem in any economic system.
I’m surprised some food processer isn’t buying them to make into pudding or something.
Carrots had this issue, but some started processing them into bite sized pieces.

What can be asserted without evidence can be discarded without evidence.
3·5 days agoTrump’s incompetence does not preclude him from being a Russian asset. His buttons are easy to press if you can get access to him.

It’s true and terrible. It ways rubbed me the wrong way that whenever there was a natural disaster or terror attack overseas, the news would always make sure to mention the deaths of American tourists. There’s ads for new Jeeps that mention that you’ll be able to SAVE OTHER AMERICANS with it. Annoying as hell.
When I was called to serve in Bush II’s wars, I refused. It should be a way easier decision this time.
Things seemed to be getting better in the 90s. It wasn’t solved, but it was on course to be getting better. And then 9/11 happened and all of a sudden, it was ok to be prejudice against brown people and it didn’t take long for that to snowball. Seeing that felt like everyone around me was replaced with pod people.
Do you think that scene from Blues Brothers would be included if it was made today or would the executives play it safe and veto it?
