Oblivion Remastered for example runs at a choppy 19 FPS on an RTX 3050 6GB at low settings, DLSS Ultra Performance 1080p (youtu.be/watch?v=ZcGWT74mzv0).
Unfortunately Bethesda has a massive amount of fanboys who bought the game anyway, rewarding Bethesda's decision not to optimize the game.
Games like E33 and Pragmata on the other hand run comfortably well on an RTX 3050 6GB. Especially Pragmata, even a GTX 1060 6GB can run it at 60 FPS 1080p lowish settings with FSR.

The gayest videogame community on planet earth:
It's a VERY flawed game and you can't notice how until you've put enough hours in.
There are 2 major flaws with Melee:
1) It is counter productive to its own existence (I'll explain)
2) It's way too tier list oriented.
As for being "counter productive to its own existence", there is an objectively best way to play. And that's to play boring. Never approach. If you approach, you lose. But if you don't approach, you get heckled by the real-life crowd of people.
Melee is a catch 22 in which if you play to win, you get the ire of the community. What a stupid system!
It's also way too heavy on the tier list stuff. Sure, it's technically possible to win with a mid-tier, but you will NEVER do it, ever. And matchups are a real thing. You CANNOT become a champion with a solo main. You have to dual main because of bad matchups. This really frustrated me because I wanted badly to solo main, but you cannot do that in melee and succeed.
Melee community went full libtard
>people getting instabanned on twitch for "misgendering" recently trooned-out melee players
>Hungrybox banning "transphobes" from his online tournaments
>mang0 has recently started pandering to faggots
>"transphobes" getting banned from Melee discord/reddit etc.
>inb4 melee had it coming
There's nothing inherant to this nintendo party game that demands the player base be this cringe. Like what is going on? I like the game but damn I'm not sure if I want to go to tournaments any more.
>Marth and Falco make melee LITERALLY unplayable.
This is true but not the whole story. I've been playing for a long time and I've figured out a deadly flaw in Melee's gameplay.
It's too character dependent. There are only 3 characters that will let you play the game for a living. Jigglypuff/Marth/Fox. (it's debatable whether Jiggs should even be in there) all the other characters are simply not good enough to get a sponsorship and go full time. Literally 2 characters. If that doesn't turn you off to the game, then I don't know what will
>but Amsa!
freak of nature. You (yes you) will never get a sponsorship with Yoshi. EVER!
>but what about [insert character here that has one player with a sponsorship]
Allow me to continue the redpill:
The tier list is based solely on whether your character can hit the opponent up (like, the direction, up). Yes, it's that simple. Marth/Fox/Jigglypuff can hit the opponent straight up for endless combos.
What's you're favorite character? Is it Mario? He can't hit straight up, so down he goes on the tier list. By the way Yoshi can hit character's upwards. Just food for thought.

>>110706>There's nothing inherant to this nintendo party game that demands the player base be this cringe. Pretty sure that's the player base you should expect when it's autists treating a party game like a serious fighting game. I've always had a visceral disgust for Melee players. I don't usually get upset about someone's retarded hobbies, but there's just something indescribable about them that gets my ire. They're the only people I encourage Nintendo to crack down on.

It's horrifying to me how much stuff I threw out like age 15 to 30 (mid 30s now). And is it really hoarding when you want to just store stuff? I had a nice tendon ds, some sega handheld thing with this absolutely fun crush/physics mining sort of game. Plus all the clothes and accessories like bracelets with metal spikes, a choker (heh, you mad?), shit ton of band shirts, and other jewellery.
Only partly on topic but I organised a bunch of stuff, lots of it was tech, by putting it into reusable shopping bags. It's not a perfect solution because some stuff is e.g. not put into its packaging box properly, like manuals and warranties, but it still worked really well.

Not every game is going to make it like Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Pizza Tower, etc. This guy makes $500/mo on Patreon plus $150/mo on YouTube.

A few outliers here and there, as aggravating as they may be to those of us who know we'll work our entire lives to do by hand what a machine can do in seconds, can't remotely make up for the billions these companies are losing. There will be a huge market retrace on this stuff over the next two or three years.

Take this technology to its logical conclusion and even ignore its current predominance as a tool to industrialize massive fraud on behalf of third worlders who'd literally be rolling around in their own shit without it (and have instead become legitimate "trusted journalists", "artisans", "musicians", and "authors" as far as you're concerned), corporations defrauding customers, employees defrauding their employers. Beyond all that deceit, beyond the almost comically super villainous effect on the environment, what it will soon evolve to be is a means to trap those under its spell into a permanent, endless cycle of seductive, masturbatory self-curated fraudulent content in which hundreds of hours worth of consumption can be manifested with minutes' worth of input.
It has irrevocably poisoned illustration, animation, photography, film, music, creative writing, graphic design, non-fiction writing-not a single aspect of the "digital life" has gone untainted by its employ or reasonable suspicion thereof and this ingress has a residual effect on the real world in which people are discincentivized to pursue healthy self-actualization in favor of the equivalent of entering a query into "Google Images" and pressing "enter" over and over again until a self-satisfactory result is produced.

Over 99% of artists, musicians and writers will never make their primary wage plying their trade in art. The amount of artists AI affects in this manner per capita is very little so speaking in terms of material wealth or career isn't entirely appropriate. Sure, it's noteworthy but it's still largely beside the point.
Human made art is about effort, self-actualization and the pursuit of connection with others. AI's purpose alternatively is atomization, creating a world where so much is churned out in such numbers and with such ease that there is no time or interest for anything other than what we ourselves are made "capable" of through our subscription to the machine (and the brown drinking water, inorganic market fluctuations, surprise utility bill increases and new taxes that comes with it).
>left behindOk, I'll stay behind with Gustave Dore, Rembrandt and Michelangelo, you can go on ahead with the guy we were talking about earlier who's made over 140 images in the past two days and who will have without fail have produced 140 more images in the next two days from now and so on.

Thanks to the gasoline engine we are atomized into cars, and plastic consumables can be shipped across the ocean and then tossed into the ocean when discarded. All technology enslaves. All "efficiency" (that you claim to value) further atomizes. A large family once was needed to farm. Now the efficiency granted by technology has made it where one man can grow the food for a million people. "Efficient" GMO food that grows much faster than traditional crops

>>112120>Human crafted art is not threatened by the existence of AI content provided it is of sufficient quality.Simply not true in a lot of cases. The only scenario where I personally can see hiring an artist at this point is if you need a lot of art that needs to be sequential and consistent, like a 2D fighter or something. It's not that I would like to stiff artists or anything, but "quality" has largely become a cope at this point and it would take something niche to justify hiring an artist or in many cases even buying assets now. What you see people generating from mainstream LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok are actually substandard results. Models that have a specialized purpose are much better at their job.
>>112144>Human made art is about effort, self-actualization and the pursuit of connection with others.

It's similar to someone who wants to write their own game engine instead of using unreal or unity. While it is an impressive feat, no one outside of the craft is going to give a fuck if the result looks worse than ready-made assets in unity. It's like how imageboard admins always think their new software is going to be a real game-changer and drive traffic toward their site for some reason.
And while AI is very inefficient on a macro level, It is my belief that for the time being we are in the AI "golden age", where it isn't totally monopolized and useless as I expect it to one day become, and can be used productively for personal or small indie projects. Back in the day if you were making something as simple as an Oblivion mod and you wanted voice actors you would in all likelihood need to do it yourself or you would use some shitty text to speech program, and then even if you were lucky enough to find a group of amateur volunteers, you'd need to edit the various audio files of different quality yourself and hope they'd do more line reads if you decided to change anything. Do you need custom icons or textures? Well then you're going to need to be able to draw or find an artist. Want new music? Well better know how to make music or find someone to do it for you. Sure there are a lot of free assets out there already, but AI fills all the holes so you don't need to be a multi-talented savant or have a small team just to produce something that feels complete. Also the fact is the quality you can get from AI is usually better than what you can reasonably expect to get on a budget. Lastly if you need answers for just about anything, Claude AI has given me the best results I've seen for years. It is leagues better than other mainstream ones when it comes to finding information, and it's very suspect that it's the only American-based LLM the government is taking issue with.

Stop Killing Games in the EU failed and got no concessions and I said from the beginning they should've at least pushed for something like stricter upfront product labeling at purchase stating that it's online-only and can shut down at any point kind of like with tobacco product warnings (so that if you're still stupid enough to buy something like The Crew, it's your own fault for wasting money on an online-only product) but they didn't bother with that, instead they only asked for the maximalist demand of forcing companies to have an offline patch or equivalent.

Feeling the poe itch. Funny, I looked it up to check out the new/current league or w/e as I haven't played in about a year or more and I forgot there is now two Poe's. When I was playing the 2nd I remember feeling like going back to the first would feel like a huge downgrade, but I can't remember the specifics as to why. I'm sure it was the revamped gem system which seemed to offer more freedom/customisability, but I think there were qol ui upgrades/changes. Anyway otherwise I think the poe gameplay loop is very satisfying.
I was playing enshrouded but getting kinda bored of the third person survival collectathon. Wasn't really rewarding enough, I know I could adjust the settings to make collecting easier but still, the game type feels kinda flat and stale to me at the moment.

What happens when you throw in several Minecraft mods full of overpowered mobs like Ice & Fire: Dragons and Born In Chaos, then decide to wander the world in your unenchanted diamond duds thinking "oh, it's diamond, I'll be fine"? You're decidedly NOT fine if some of these mobs across different mods work astoundingly well together. For example: a few sirens (evil mermaids whose song makes you lose control of your movement and you're dragged towards them until you're close enough to get ganked) pulled me off my amphithere (flying mount, looks like an Aztec inspired snake-bird) and the moment I dropped into the water a nightmare stalker shredded me while unable to get away from the siren's song. Nightmare stalkers live up to their name in several ways. One thing they have is a 2sp00ky variant of frost walker so no, you can't just leap into a river or throw down a water bucket for easy cheesing, and if you're underwater and don't have the usual enchantments aquatic you're just going to drown because it will NOT let you reach the surface. It auto-blinds you the moment it gets in your face and you stay blind until you kill it or dig straight down and tunnel rat, because you are NOT going to run from something just as fast as you if you could sprint (the blind effect from vanilla also disables sprinting as well as critical hits, if you didn't know) and yes, I've tried going full coward but they're relentless and WILL leap down caves and cliffs to get you. And this thing is invisible except for a pair of white eyes (IYKYK) and its every footfall is an intimidating stomp, so if you don't see tiny glowing eyes in the dark you have maybe 1.5 seconds from hearing that first distant heavy thump to going blind and getting ripped apart by a monster way more scary than any of that cave dweller slop. I hate nightmare stalkers BECAUSE they're such a well-designed and deadly horror mod, and I've probably died to them almost as much as I've died to a dragon suddenly leaping out from behind a bush and turning me into KFC. I need to start min-maxing enchantments before I go do ANYTHING, even build a starter home with all these bad boys roaming my world!

> I want to talk about something that I think is one of the most important dynamics in entertainment right now, and almost nobody frames it correctly. This isn't a rant. It's a structural observation about how two groups of people behave differently and what it means for the market.
> Non-leftists will support projects made by leftists if they enjoy the work. This happens constantly and nobody bats an eye at it. Conservative, libertarian, apolitical — whatever label you want to use — these consumers watch movies from directors who openly campaign for causes they disagree with. They play games from studios whose leadership posts things they find ridiculous. They read books by authors whose personal politics are the opposite of their own. If it's fun, if it's well made, if it entertains them, they buy it. The creator's politics are secondary if they're a consideration at all.
> That same courtesy does not flow in the other direction. Not at any meaningful scale. The moment a creator is identified as anything other than left-leaning, a segment of the market activates to delegitimize their work. It doesn't matter if the product is completely apolitical. It doesn't matter if the work contains zero political messaging. The mere association is enough. If the wrong people like it, if the wrong audience supports it, if the creator is suspected of holding unapproved views, the work gets reclassified as right-wing, problematic, something that supporting says something about you.
> And it goes beyond boycotting. Boycotting is a consumer choice and everybody has that right. This is active campaigns to deplatform. Pressuring retailers and distributors. Lobbying other creators to distance themselves. Building a social cost around engaging with the work so that even people who might enjoy it think twice because they don't want the headache.
> This asymmetry is how they win — and I don't mean that with admiration. I mean it as a structural observation. If one side consumes good work regardless of who made it, and the other side actively sabotages work based on who made it, the side doing the sabotaging has outsized influence on what gets made, what gets platformed, and what gets supported. Creators and companies start factoring that in. They stop asking "is this good" and start asking "will this attract the wrong attention." That calculation, over time, shapes what gets greenlit, who gets hired, and what stories get told.
> One side is playing as a customer. The other side is playing to get over. And that gives them more structural power even with fewer numbers because they're willing to use tactics the other side won't. The best thing any creator can do is what we've done at the Rippaverse — build directly to your audience, don't depend on them for validation, and make the work undeniable. The asymmetry is real.

Just beat Halo 1. Very good game overall, especially for its time. The escape scene was cool, but I think the final battle was pretty lackluster and clumsy, it relied on platforming to some extent whereas it could hardly be considered remotely present through the rest of the game (the jumping is floaty and gay so with good reason, I'd say). I'll be playing the next one fairly soon. The good thing about games like this is they're maybe a dozen hours long so it's not some huge commitment.
