Portland protestor frog costume: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge pepper balls?

When I think about Painkiller, I definitely think about all these characters and pre-order bonuses.

Caustic reflections from a ceramic baking dish. Absolute next level. When do we get this in games?

Great video by Kurzgesagt, as always! It's pretty telling that even they don't know what the future is made of, or how to fix this situation (because it's impossible to tell at this time), but I admire their dedication to keep making human art and well-researched theses ❤️

This is wild and fascinating, but honestly... Worth the Performance Differential IMO for Disk Space. Crazy that people are mossing the Games to do this. I will have to try and Cover this.

It's difficult to overstate how terrible Sourceforge has become. Visually it's almost indistinguishable from a scam site.

It is finally here - our in-depth look at DLSS on Nintendo's Switch 2. Pre-launch we were skeptical if the Switch 2 could muster the power for DLSS, yet post-launch many games use it! So how is that the case? How does DLSS on Switch 2 compare to PC? Find out in this video!
