The USA has always been THE bad guy, it just used to have better marketing and propaganda.

My Summer Cottage is the name of the game, which I imagine is some kind of Finnish Life Sim?

Watching the trailer caused me deep psychological pain, but it’s a very impressive game if all the systems showcase are true.

“Your honor, the health insurance CEO was killed for entertainment purposes only. The whole nation is thoroughly entertained.”

And thus, debate is dead, and your cozy bubble is formed. I get banning troll users, but banning a whole instance is a step towards killing what the federation is supposed to stand for.

Isn’t this dead? I remember some news about it from last year that this was being sponsored by AMD and then they backtracked from it, so the main dev also dropped it.

Is it still Enshitification if it was shitty from the start?

Lookup where the expression Carbon Footprint came from, what ad campaign birthed the term and what were the motivations of the companies involved in doing so. It’s not a matter of “and”, it’s a matter of propaganda or actual reality.

There was actually a case in Brazil recently where a girl left her male friend alone during a hike, and the guy got lost and stayed 5 days surviving alone in the jungle near the mountain until he was eventually found alive. Almost no news outlet mentions that he was abandoned, but there is a video from the girl who was supposed to be with him saying that she left him behind and out of her sight. No news outlet blamed the woman like they would if the gender roles had been reversed.

There are men out there with so little connections to real women who truly think that a girl should always wear makeup, regardless of time and circumstances.

If the picture in the article is a true real representative of DLSS5, the hair texture is obviously different and has been changed. The DLSS5 picture even has a slightly different hairstyle.

I find it unlikely that someone might be on Lemmy and not be aware about the basics of how ““AI”” actually works. But if you don’t know, truly, the rundown is that all of these AI apps you use are just an interface where you can make a request to an ““AI”” do something. The ““AI”” is not running on your computer. It’s like sending someone a message “hey, do this for me” and they will do it, and then saying you don’t feel tired after doing it.

You can use a 15 year old pc or a top of the line gaming rig, then go to chatgpt website and request something, and the result would be the same, because it’s not your machine doing the work.

Now, you can indeed run local AI on your machine, and if you try, you’d quickly see that you need beefy hardware and that your power use would spike like crazy to deliver results that are way slower than what you’d get from using an app/website. Which makes it obvious that they’re using stronger (more) hardware than you are, and, therefore, using way more energy than you are.

I played the first 20h, of which there was a solid 4h where I was not in control of my character, and a lot of immersion breaking bad game design elements (Griffon quest was particularly jarring). So I dropped it and never understood the hype either. CP2077 was yet another reminder that CDPR game design is mid at best.

For the US (which has always been an imperialistic pos country, never the savior of the world), this is not a pointless war. Is the most simple of all modern wars: oil war. Iran has the power to block 20% of the world’s oil supply. This is as simple as it gets, you just need to drop the rose-tinted glasses and realize that the USA js not, and has never been, any sort of paragon of morality and justice. It’s an Empire built by Oil and Billionaire Pedophiles. It’ll always do the shameless thing, because it knows no shame, and it has never known any shame, it just used to be a bit better at marketing.

I was looking into buying an old i5 3570 + mobo + 16gb ddr3 kit to make a nice emulation box using an old gpu that’s lying around here, and even that has gone up in price by about 50%…

It’s my anecdotal evidence, but Unity games run like shit. Whenever I hop in an Indie game where they used Unity, performance makes no sense. An example of this is the og Hollow Knight, which needs way more resources than it seems it would. Now that Godot games are becoming more widespread, I have never felt that a game made in Godot was “heavier than I expected it’d be”, often the opposite. Maybe it’s just that most developers using Unity don’t know how to optimize in that engine… But it’s weird. UE5 I can usually at least see where the performance bloat is coming from, but Unity just makes no sense.

The naval combat is pretty much AC4, plus you get a decent survival game, land combat, crafting and management mechanics for your ship, and boarding combat. Everything people have been requesting Ubisoft to do for years.

Humans are not herbivores. There are a lot of good social and ethical reasons to not eat meat, this is not one of them.

It’s 3D indie game made in Unity, and although the textures do look old school, lighting and geometry are not.
