It's better than Avowed in some cases (it's not using FSR2 this time around thankfully) but Lumen seems to be busted? There's no denoising.. 🤔

Is every one simply relying on TAA to tackle specular aliasing these days or has there been some actual workarounds developed similarly to Valve's work on the Source 2 engine nearly 10 years ago? (Advanced VR Rendering)

Finished Keeper (7hrs)
Absolutely incredible experience.
Pure fucking Art in motion.
Genuinely the best looking game ever IMO. Incredible art direction, environments, and animation, sound design..
Also an amazing UE5 showcase.

Keeper looks incredible. Absolutely no idea what the FPS is on Series X though (looks like 40fps? With some animations at 30fps?).

This apparently "is not a huge deal" in 20 fucking 25 folks. But if your game lacks some tacked on BS RT feature (BF6) or still uses SSR.. Beware.. Get you priorities straight you lazy devs! (/s)

Diving again into Starfield on Xbox SX (nearly 200hrs in since launch & haven't finished the main story yet). Boy oh boy does it look good at times. The IQ is pristine compared to the absolutely heinous crap nearly every UE5 project is blessing us with. Custom engines FTW

I don't to post loads of screenshots because it would definitely spoil it & won't do it justice. Suffice to say that this is some of the best environmental design ever. Filled to the brim with amazing assets (alongside the superbe lighting) it keeps getting better the more you play😳😱👌🏼

Welp Foundation Season 3 is a banger. Better than S1 & S2 so far. Also Lee Pace is so fucking great as usual.

Here are two of my SIMs from 2023 & 2024 IIRC.
Looking at the fine print data is unlimited but speed will indeed be throttled to 200Kbps if transferts exceed 10GB or 135GB (depending on the prepaid SIM type you both)
