sincerely. i *adore* Bloodborne. and i'm NOT playing Duskblood over this. please, please consider boycotting Nintendo products. they deserve it frankly for the harm they've done to preservation and emulation.

hmmm. not sure what to make of this one. really needs corroboration.

the problem is if Musk and Trump have the opposite reaction - instead of clamping down / censoring, they fan the flames, spread it like crazy and go "see, look at these crazy leftie extremists"

*$2000 ladies, gentlemen and enbies*

if you're having issues, you can either switch PCI-E to an older version in BIOS or boot into safe mode, DDU your drivers and roll back to an earlier version
Lots of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 & 5090D GPUs Are Getting Bricked, Possibly Due To Driver, BIOS or PCIe Issues

welp, guess the prognosis has changed from autism / Asperger's to AuDHD - thanks mom and dad for demonizing mental health, keeping my diagnosis hid from me, gaslighting me that "mental health is an excuse" and refusing to see me for who i was / am

Even if some people are self-made from a capital perspective, they grew up in an environment where they were challenged to succeed by their peers. They had role models around them to guide them. Those who went the corporate route got into good colleges through legacy, Whereas the working class......

so a dev friend just pointed me in this direction, interesting tech that Nvidia will never use

this would make GI and shadows more efficient with same (or close) results. Nvidia don't want efficiency. they want to cripple your GPU, because Geforce GPU's are crippled less

My thoughts on CES for anyone who cares

Intel : 💀

AMD : "WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K ARE YOU DOING, WHERE'S THE GODDAMN GPU"

Ngreedia : What are you gonna do? Regulate us? False advertising charges? HAH! We own your politicians and military technologies, we keep your zombie economy afloat with AI slop

so, confirmed by my buddy Vex, the RTX 5080 WILL cost $2,799 AUD at launch at 1 retailer at least. the stores are buying them for about $2,550 (ish) AUD a pop

that's roughly $1,600 USD they're being sold to retail at. RTX 4090 money

this is a FANTASTIC video and HIGHLY recommended to watch. even if you aren't a metalhead (and there's no metal music in the video, just synths), this critique and analysis is applicable across multiple cultural and artistic expressions, like videogames

good stuff

so, a few things i can confirm bout this port
- it plays *mostly* nice with Linux via GOG
- the options menu is barebones
- it immediately booted in UW resolution :D if you're unsure the SR2 menu is in UW
- it feels like it's v-sync locked, but i'm not sure
- it doesn't play nice with MangoHUD

for $250? i think this is the new RX 6600, the new default recommendation. of course we gotta wait for reviews... but Intel did a good thing here, targeting entry level

hopefully this means 8GB framebuffers are dead and buried

NOOOOOO

*don't do that to me Sony. don't give me hope.*

Bloodborne saved my life. i have a physical copy, my disk drive is busted on my PS4 tho. I'd give *ANYTHING* to have a version officially on PC.

it's criminal that when 87% of classic games are at risk, Bloodborne isn't preserved on PC

yup, got one of these, 2tb as a secondary drive - it's a beast, very capable SSD for a mass storage drive

a sincerely excellent podcast worth listening to from the guys at @hardwareunboxed.bsky.social

TLDR - Ray Tracing is an upsell tactic at this point. and while it can be transformative, it can also be really poor, or actively degrade visuals
