FunkyMonk, do gaming w I can't live like this

only works for me now when I'm flying something that can't hover. Tried it in AC6 and felt like way less of a pilot :|

Out of the loop here, can someone explain where the guy with the fantastic facial expression is from?

magic_lobster_party,

The movie is At Eternity’s Gate. Actor is Willem Dafoe, who’s portraying Vincent Van Gogh.

(I have not seen the movie, just looked it up)

Can’t your eye only see like 30 frames per second in the center?

Technically yes, but the more fluid the video is 8n the first place, the fewer gaps your brain has to fill in. On 30 fps you can see the moving image just fine, but your brain is always assembling the pieces and ignoring the gaps. The higher framerates reduce the number of gaps and makes a surprising difference in how smooth something looks in motion.

So you just explained why it’s actually a no.

TheSlad,

Also most monitors only go up to 60fps, and even if you have a fancy monitor that does, your OS probably doesn’t bother to go higher than 60 anyways. Even if the game itself says the fps is higher, it just doesn’t know that your pc/monitor isnt actually bothering to render all the frames…

pivot_root, (edited )

This is blatantly false.

Windows will do whatever frame rate the EDID reports the display as being capable of. It won’t do it by default, but it’s just a simple change in the settings application.

Macs support higher than 60 Hz displays these days, with some of the laptops even having a built-in one. They call it by some stupid marketing name, but it’s a 120 Hz display.

Linux requires more tinkering with modelines and is complicated by the fact that you might either be running X or Wayland, but it’s supported as well.

drcobaltjedi,

To add on to this. There are phones coming out now with 90+hz screens. They are noticably smoother than the 60hz ones. My current phone does 120hz.

Yeah the OS can and will shove out frames as fast as the hardware can support them

Wayland picks up my 155, 144, and 60 hz monitors and sets them to the correct refresh rate on it’s own nowadays, so it’s even more painless.

ChicoSuave,

What the fuck? Help us understand: which OS doesn’t limit fps and what do you see when you check frame rates with your own eyes?

@fiah@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

my man, just because you’ve never seen the refresh rate option in the monitor settings doesn’t mean it hasn’t been there since basically forever

olutukko,

You just won the award for stupidest comment in the whole commentsection. That is just completely false and makes no sense in any way. Your computer doesn’t just skip calculations its told do do. Where did you even get this idea lmao

CommanderCloon,

That was true before high framerate monitors were a thing, which was around 10+ years ago…

fiah,
@fiah@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

no it wasn’t true back then either, CRTs have been doing 100hz and more decades ago and it was very much supported by OSes and games

yggdar,

Our eyes and brains don’t perceive still images or movement in the same way as a computer. There is no simple analogy between our perception and computer graphics.

I’ve read that some things can be perceived at 1000 fps. IIRC, it was a single white frame shown for 1ms between black frames. Of course most things you won’t be able to perceive at that speed, but it certainly isn’t as simple as 30 fps!

Zron,

The human brain evolved to recognize threats in the wilderness.

We see movement and patterns very well because early hominid predators were very fast and camouflaged, so seeing the patterns of their fur and being able to react to sudden movements meant those early people didn’t die.

But evolution doesn’t optimize. Things only evolve up to the point where something lives long enough to reproduce. Maybe over extremely long time spans things will improve if they help find mates, but that is all evolution does.

Your brain perceives things fast enough for you not to get eaten by a tiger. How fast is that? Who the fuck knows.

All the being said, I like higher HZ monitors. I feel like I can perceive motion and react to things more quickly if the frame rate is higher. The smoother something looks, the more likely I feel that I can detect something like part of a character model rounding a corner. But no digital computer is ever going to have analog “frame times”, so any refresh rate you think feels comfortable is probably fine.

zout,

That's what I've heard. but also, the frequency of electricity in the USA is 60 Hz because Tesla found after experimentation that that's the frequency where you don't notice a lightbulb flickering anymore. Since the lightbulb flickers 120 times per second at 60 Hz, you could assume that a lower framerate than 120 fps is noticable.

Ibaudia,
@Ibaudia@lemmy.world avatar

No, your brain just blurs an overwhelming amount of visual information into images as it sees fit. It doesn’t have a framerate limit.

AbsoluteChicagoDog,

No. Iirc around 200hz is where you get diminishing returns.

olutukko,

No. This is something console fanboys used to spread up when pc gamets showed off with their +30fps games

Hey, here’s a radical thought… don’t force yourself to finish something just because you paid for it. A lot of games accumulated were prior to generous refund policy and back in the days of Bundles and stuff. Why would you force yourself to play something you don’t like.

Patches, (edited )

Back in the days of bundles.

Looks at the 5 TRPG I just got yesterday for $15. So I could get 1 game I wanted that is always $20.

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. People wonder why so many are praising Gaben, but decision to refund any game for any reason within 2h of play or 2 weeks of ownership is an awesome one. So many times game looks entertaining only to realize it’s bad.

Patches, (edited )

You don’t have to look very far back to see the positives

Most people got refunds on the policy alone. The rest are getting them outside of policy by directly talking to Steam.

Do you think the same would happen in Epic?

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

No way. Epic doesn’t give a shit, although they do have a refund policy of sorts, it’s not as lax as Steam’s.

… So, what was your last game then?

DudeImMacGyver,
@DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works avatar

The last game I got to the end of or the last game I bought?

Last game I beat was probably either Slime Rancher or Cyberpunk 2077, can’t recall which was most recent.

Last game I bought was Slime Rancher 2.

This one, I don’t know about this franchise, but enjoy it to the fullest.

It’s a nice game to relax with, would recommend.

You better beat them.

😭😭😭😭😭

Lol.

I refuse. If I lose interest in a game, I ain’t touching it until I’m ready. It’s one of the big reasons I quit FNV months ago in the middle of what will be my first ever completion of the game.
