*Shouts about the sublime grandeur of the Toyota Century from the mountaintops*

Jalopnik can do as Jalopnik pleases, even tell hard truths about things that might make you uncomfortable—-in the interest of informing its broader audience. Jalopnik reports on all vehicles of all sorts, be they cars, trucks, cybertrucks (sigh) , planes, and yes, even the odd yacht. That they choose to report on…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this graphic! The maths of it all are all there, and that makes perfect sense.

And here I was considering buying a PS5 to just play Tekken 8 and FFVII: Rebirth. Maybe just sit on my coins a little bit longer!?

I am with you in that simply increasing the resolution of images does not make them ‘better.’ Contrast, to dynamic range, to brightness in relation to ambient lighting are all significant factors in reproducing a realistic image, and sooner or later, these displays will bridge the uncanny valley, but we just are not…

*Leans in*

Ah, had not thought of that. Makes perfect sense, but we are swiftly approaching the resolution limit of our eyeballs in relation to VR headsets. Another few generations, and we will not be able to discern the difference from upgrade to upgrade in terms of resolution, so they’ll probably just over-inundate us with…

Unfortunately, 8K is inevitable, and Japan has been steadily laying the groundwork for such a shift since late 2018/early 2019 when they first began broadcasting with such fidelity:

I don’t believe that PSSR is enough to sell enough to upsell on another system, on any planet, this late into the PS5's lifecycle, especially if there will be scant games who can leverage the extra juice. Now, if the vanilla PS5 was found to secretly have the ability to be upgraded to work this PSSR magic with some…

Bingo. Sooner or later, we are going to get to the PS9 that we were promised all those years ago. But will it have all the promised features, and will the shareholders ever be happy? The cult of those who expect infinite growth is as corrosive as it is cancerous.

Ah, perhaps that is it. This is SEGA’s “Blast Processing” all over again. In theory, AI could upscale and dynamically increase/decrease the frame rate more efficiently than current methods, but like you said, all it might do is ‘force’ a solid 60FPS on games that might otherwise make things stutter, which is....still…

Meh. Bleh. Fleh

Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.

Hard pass. The game is an MMO first, and I am perfectly fine letting it be grand as just that, for those who want a multiplayer experience. A tacked-on single-player experience does not interest me as a consolation prize. Would much rather play any of the other games that were built for that from the ground up.…

My inner Elder Milennial just cringes at the mere mention of an MMO, even if it has the trappings of Final Fantasy. Was not even secretly hoping that XVI would have sunk the Yoshi-P boat. Just not a fan.

I wonder how they will be able to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson without tears in their eyes. Downfall of their idol is fertile ground for an even uglier one to be put on a gilded pedestal.

Eating lunch while reading a Jalopnik article that drew heavily from Devil Wears Prada was not even on my *wildest* gay bingo card for 2024. What a delight, even if the paint jobs are bleak lol

G/O media is really in dire straits across the board. Lifehacker was sold. Jezebel was sold. Both within the last year-ish timeframe. A friend of mine wrote for Lifehacker for years, and yiiiiikes the battles with the G/O union and the c-suite were ROUGH. Deadspin has no comments. The Root has no comments, and…

Now I am not a parent, nor will I ever be. But, if I had a kid, they’d probably play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest the minute they knew how to read, to get down the basics, and then graduate immediately to playing FFVI (as it is the best) and then have them team up with Avalanche and friends in FFVII. From there, the…

My God, you are a FF-Fan of exquisite taste! I tip my hat to YOU. FFX-2 is the best 3D FF in existence.
