WolfLink, do gaming w Upscaling really is black magic

DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

ThunderComplex, do gaming w Upscaling really is black magic

Yeah I’m a big fan of upscaling myself. I hear a lot of complaints on the internet that this means developers won’t optimize their games because upscaling exists, but I think it’s great because it gives older/weaker GPUs (like your 3060) some longevity.

Heck, I use DLSS on my 4080 when I don’t want a game to suck so much power.

    Thanks for contributing in unneccessary witch hunting. You’ve shown that Lemmy can be just as petulant and inhospitable as reddit. Nothing I have ever written is AI generated, such a weird criticism and hilarious to lob that at someone considering that even million dollar tech companies who have made “ai detectors” have failed spectacularly with false positives. But you dislike what I say so you’re 100% correct, right? yea that makes sense dude sure.

    It’s amusing to me how you felt the need to write this incredibly long “shame on you” rant, like you were really that bothered by some words you saw that you had to write up a long witch hunt and try to harass me.

    If you feel like an user may be a bot, please report it to a mod so we can put said user under observation in order to access its behavior.

    Your comment seem well documented, but that’s something that should be sent to the mods via PM, not posted on the open.
    If you were wrong, and he was legit, you’d have triggered an harassment campaign against him by encouraging others to just conclude he must be a bot because someone said so with a lengthy comment they don’t have the time to fully check.

    Edit: clarifying why this shouldn’t be done that way, as my previous take was kinda harsh (I was a bit tired)

    ViscloReader, do games w How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?

    Buy one for the living room, oled or standard. Then, if requests / frustrations about playing asynchronously piles up. Consider buying another for the most invested of all. Take physical copies also. They’re easier to share.

    cdipierr,

    I started with just one, and was buying digital games. I quickly found as each child gets to 6-7, they need their own switch. So I’m sitting at 4 right now, and agree hard on physical games.

    fuckwit_mcbumcrumble, do gaming w Upscaling really is black magic

    I actually really dislike DLSS and FSR. At least to me the upscaling is pretty noticeable (but not the end of the world), but the artifacts that it causes drive me insane. I haven’t tested Onion Ring with it. But for example FH5 I get all sorts of ghost images on my screen and they go away as soon as I turn off DLSS.

    Also weirdly on my laptop I got worse performance. I’m assuming that’s because I’m 100% CPU limited and there is a bit of CPU overhead to running DLSS.

    Rudee,

    From what I understand, FSR1 is not a temporal upscaled, so it shouldn’t have ghosting.

    That does cause the quality to be lower, though

    PunchingWood, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

    The amount you complain about WoW you should probably just quit the game, if you’re even playing it. Also why do you keep making topics and then deleting them? You complained about subscriptions, and now you’re complaining about optional additional cosmetic content.

    Like 99% of the community likely doesn’t care about promotional stuff. You can just pay the game and subscription and get access to all gameplay features just fine. If someone spends hundreds of bucks to get some useless promotional item, then let them. It doesn’t affect my gameplay.

    Yeah, you can buy a mount from the store that saves you like a 2 minute walk or flight to your closest auction house, ironically I’ve never ever seen anyone even use these mounts outside of the cities that have actual auction houses, they’re usually just next to a mailbox or bank across the street of the auction house.

    The fact that these things sell is probably one reason why subscriptions in the past 20 years haven’t rising in the first place.

    Yingwu, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

    I just started playing WoW again and I don’t feel any pressure from the supposed “dark patterns”, or having to buy this stuff (which I can’t, because I’m not in the US). It has zero effect on my gameplay. WoW is fun and addicting in a sense for sure, but there are way worse MMOs when it comes to this. Just look at any Korean MMO, like Black Desert Online. I’d even argue ESO is way worse than WoW when it comes to monetization.

    Carighan,
    @Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah it’s the same when people say this about FFXIV, which does have an extensive money-shop for extra mounts/animations/skins/etc.

    They’re pricey as hell, but at the same time the only thing you ever might feel pressured into getting are:

    • Fantasia (character do-overs) after enough years because you feel like you’ve seen enough of this face and want another one and want to finally become a cat-girl like everybody else is! The game does however give you two for free, and we’re soon getting a third one, at least temporarily.
    • Character boosts if your friends are being assholes and berate you for not skipping the story (seen it happen), instead of what 99% of the community does which is the exact opposite. 😅

    of course it is. it’s a microsoft property now.

    wirelesswire, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

    This has been a thing since TCG mounts and pets… back in TBC.

    I won’t bother with any more of an argument since you’ll probably nuke this thread, too. I suggest you stop flapping your butt about WoW and go find a game you enjoy that respects your time and money.

    While additional cosmetic options can add variety and personal expression to the game

    I guess if bragging about spending extra money to advertise for some company is personal expression, sure.

    catloaf, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

    What is your obsession with WoW? First you make multiple posts about the costs vs. investing that money, now this? Didn’t you also complain about the art style changing, even though multiple people said it’s always been like that?

    You really just need to understand that different people have different feelings.

    Crashumbc,

    This reads like chatgpt garbage also.

    PunchingWood,

    Yeah and he keeps deleting his posts if they don’t perform well and he gets called out for them.

    Honestly should just be banned for botting at this point.

    Dremor,
    @Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

    This was the first of his post to get reported. I don’t ban immediately unless it is obviously a bot trying to link to forbidden content.

    catloaf,

    Is it reportable when someone makes low-quality AI-generated posts, even if they’re not technically breaking any rules?

    Dremor,
    @Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

    It could fall under rule 4, but would require to be sure that it is indeed AI generated.
    There are people that throws AI accusation around with no evidences other that a gut feeling, so I prefer to be cautious.

    catloaf,

    Makes sense. It’s not conclusive, but this user did make a post with a line like “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” until I pointed it out.

    Not that it matters in this case, because they’ve already deleted their account.

    Chronographs, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

    The game uses every type of dark pattern there is to make you log on every day and soak up all your time.

    Poopfeast420,
    @Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    How so? I actually think in recent years, they’ve gone away from making you log in all the time, with less daily quest and much better catch up mechanics, so it doesn’t matter too much if you don’t play for weeks or even months.

    Chronographs,

    That could be true, I quit during battle for azeroth

    I think you’re looking at this through rose-tinted glasses.

    In my opinion mounts, pets, toys or whatever don’t count as content, so in that case, you still get everything with the expansion and a sub.

    But even if you think it’s content, back in the day you also already had Collectors edition mounts and pets, the stuff from Blizzcon (before it was digital), TCG codes, etc. Not much different than today I think.

    Buttflapper,

    Idk what point you’re trying to get across. Back in TBC everything was in game. Every mount and cosmetic. There was no shop. Collectors edition obviously existed, sure. How is cosmetics and mounts not content? It’s part of the game lol

    luves2spooge,

    Not exactly true. There were mounts you could only get from buy the trading cards (spectral tiger being the most popular)
