ultratiem, do piracy w Why WARP is OK for torrenting
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

WARP is a great. The only issue when it comes to torrenting is you can’t drill open any ports. Makes seeding super hard near impossible.

Other than that, yeah it will protect all traffic and is insanely fast for a free service (I snapped 700Mbps and my line is 1Gbps).

Is there a tracker that gets most switch games? I used to use nsw2u, but lately most games area direct DL and not torrent. IPThads some of the games, but many of the ones I’m looking for are missing.

Wait, we respawn now with a weapon and armor? Interesting. Is it the same weapon you were using before dying or random one?

With this new legend, lifeline just keeps getting left behind. Poor lifeline.

DestinyGrey,

It’s the same weapon, and some armor. It’s actually lead to quite a bit of amusing cheese, where you can duplicate evos using this one simple trick!

Lifeline’s still pretty good if you play aggressively with a team though- she’s great for kind of immediately picking everyone back up for any incoming third parties. I suspect she’ll see more usage again if the new legend isn’t too overpowering a support.

not_that_guy05,

Welp I see this being abused real quick and everybody having purps or red armor by the middle of the season.

DestinyGrey,

During HisWattson’s 14 hour stream on the first day of competitive, he and his team were duplicating armors a lot at the start. By beating a team, killing the dogs and spiders nearby, and then crafting the evo once or twice, they could guarantee a red evo that would then get duped.

You dive off the map, teammate grabs that evo and then dives off map, then both of you get respawned with red evos and even duplicate items (sans attachments, of course).

They actually got dove by a pred team from last season doing this, but since everyone on the team had red evos, HisWattson’s squad beat them. It was actually pretty funny, if a little bonkers.

And since this season incentivizes placing over kills by a significant margin, this isn’t a braindead strategy, though it requires your teammates cooperating and your squad’s speediness in getting that higher level EVO.

pycorax,

I haven’t had a chance to play it yet but I really like the sound of still having your weapon (even if it is naked) and armour even when you’re down. Feels like it would make respawning in the final rings a lot more viable.

They broke linux gameplay again. Thats all i think about it.

DestinyGrey,

Yeah. It’s sad to say but I’ve kind of given up on playing the game on Linux at this point. “Fortunately”, I have to use Windows for WFH so it’s not a huge deal if I want to get some Apex in.

CSGO? No, Valve does not care for a game that was repalced with CS2.

What is the botters goal here?

smeg,

Does CSGO still give you cosmetic items that you can sell for real money? If so then I guess that’s the goal.

Update it to CS2. CSGO is now replaced with CS2.

Solution is to not play modern AAA garbage. For the $40-50 pricetag, I could get a handful of great indie games off my wishlist. Games that won’t bat an eye at an aging GPU.

PeterPoopshit,

They would make a lot more money if they made games run on older hardware. Most people can’t play cities skylines 2. Most people can’t play kerbal space program 2. We don’t want photorealistic graphics. Just give us fallout 3 era graphics because thats good enough. Fuck.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

I agree in theory but Fallout 3 is a horrible example, the art direction was the epitome of the era’s fascination with bland brown and sickening green landscapes.

The answer here is to ask if photorealism matters to the game or not, if another type of art direction suits better then do that. Hell, look at Boltgun or even just games that used contrast and bold colors to their advantage like Halo 3 or Mass Effect 2.

I’ll be completely honest, that’s probably the coldest take someone can make about recent tech that I’ve seen, and it’s being presented as a hot take.

Virtually everyone prefers native, almost aggressively so. That being said, I think there’s important nuance that’s missing in most talks about upscaling. In my testing, my experience of blurring and smearing with upscaling/frame gen seems to be hugely dependent on pixel density. If you get a really dense screen, then upscaling, in my experience at least, becomes virtually undetectable even at 1080p.

That’s exactly what the “we have you surrounded” meme template conveys (at least according to my understanding): a popular opinion, but ironically presented as a fringe opinion.

So no, this isn’t really intended this as a “hot take”, there seems to be a decent amount of people who dislike TAA for example. I’m pointing out a trend in the industry, that devs are using temporal or upscaling tools to make the game run/look better, and GPU vendors support those tools to squeeze out the most fps from their cards. At this point TAA is the standard AA method and is integral to how some games are rendered, and upscaling is advertised as basically free* performance. Unfortunately, by its nature, all this temporal tech doesn’t work too well at low framerates and resolutions, a scenario where it would be very useful.

I would agree that most artifacts and the softening effects of upscaling will be less visible on higher density screens, or when you’re sitting further away from a screen. Unless your TAA/upscaling implementation is absolutely botched, in which case it will always looks garbage, but that’s not really the fault of a specific technology.

Contramuffin,

Interesting - I was not aware that that was the intended use of that meme. Maybe I’m getting old?

DLAA with frame generation seems pretty good to me in cyberpunk.

Remember when you could force MSAA through Nvidia Control Panel on almost any game without issue? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

moody, do gaming w My condolences to anyone playing modern AAA titles in 1080p

I don’t play a lot of AAA games, but ngl I’m quite happy gaming at 1080p on my 27" monitors.

I get way better framerates, and it still looks plenty good with maxed out graphics, as long as I’m not sticking my face right up against the screen.

Crozekiel,

Same. Honestly my eyes aren’t good enough to notice a difference between 1080p and 1440p (or 4k) at the scale of my pc monitor, but I damn sure notice a difference between 60 fps and 200 fps…

hsr,
@hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Glad it works for you. Since I upgraded to a 1440p monitor (I still have the same GPU) I went from comfortable high-ultra settings to mid-high settings + FSR Quality in more demanding titles. From the games I played in both 1080p and 1440p, I’d say that less GPU-intensive titles definitely look better in high-res, but I found the overall experience quite whelming.

Simply playing on a higher res monitor won’t necessarily give you better visuals if you don’t have the GPU power to match settings, however at that point it’s not “higher res = better visuals” but “more powerful PC = better visuals” which, duh, of course it will look better.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Well there’s your problem, you wanted better resolution but didn’t match it with a GPU upgrade.

Gotta have both or you’ll suffer a bit of loss.

ichbinjasokreativ,

Have you actually tried 4k though? Yes, framerates are lower, but boy does it look better. For me, and it’s that’s just my take on it, 1080p ends at 24" monitors.

aBundleOfFerrets, do gaming w My condolences to anyone playing modern AAA titles in 1080p

The completely unfounded death of MSAA in modern games is devastating. It was (and still is!!!) so much better than every alternative.

hsr,
@hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Turns out the death of MSAA was actually quite founded! Here’s a great Digital Foundry video on anti-aliasing piped link | youtube

tl;dw MSAA only affects geometry, so while it worked fine for older titles, it can’t handle textures, normal maps, shading etc.

Glifted, do gaming w My condolences to anyone playing modern AAA titles in 1080p

I’m still running a 1060. You’d be surprised what you can play if you’re willing to put up with shit graphics

Blackmist,

And for anything else, I run it on my PS5.

pythonoob, do gaming w My condolences to anyone playing modern AAA titles in 1080p

I still play in 1080. I believe monitors shouldn’t cost as much as my build. (Yes I’m exaggerating for comedic effect).

PopOfAfrica,

1080p is still great. What giant ass screens are people running where it isnt?
