Ahh, so they’re in the “Atari” phase of a developer’s lifecycle.

This... this needs context. I can get some truly stunning FPS numbers with Pong on most modern hardware. Really stunning numbers. Very high, lots of FPS. So, so many F’s for every S.

There’s some amount of trickery, too. Contextually and intelligently using heavier techniques when necessary, and lighter techniques otherwise. Facial mo-cap LoD, animation culling, hell, even ML based detail animation postprocessing. Conceptually DLSS is looking at a low fidelity original and using complex, trained…

See, that markerless solve is more impressive to me. Good stuff right there.

It’s probably worth noting that the lighting, textures, and materials in the final render make a tremendous impact - I would be curious to see the original animation applied to the final model.

Definitely a game that feels birthed from the moment a stoned developer, watching the final act of 2001, turned to the person next to them and said, “dude.”

It’s pretty easy to control and you don’t have to worry about precise movements. It starts off with a fairly relaxed “intro” planet that’s comprised of some nicely spaced, undulating hills before opening up to more varied terrain. Also, there’s not really a “fail state” to speak of, so you can just enjoy the ride.

“I’ve made a huge mistake.”

It’s worth mentioning that Apple is putting all of the responsibilities and costs onto the states to maintain and manage the data, and they’re also requiring the states to invest in marketing for this and offloading other ancillary costs. The states involved got a pretty raw deal from one of the largest and most…

Do you have an existing lease that you signed while you had the pets and can you prove that they knew about - or should have known about - your pets? That would help. Most places can’t add crap like that to a lease that’s already been signed so long as they already knew about the pets. On lease renewal it’ll be a…

Try again.

Honestly, I read this and went back to double check what I wrote initially and I think I see the problem. So here’s what I wrote:

Pointing out the omission of this point isn’t the “gotcha!” you and some others here seem to think it is, considering that point is extremely critical of virtually every main aspect of NFTs and the people using them as they currently exist. It is at most defending the hypothetical concept of an NFT, but has nothing…

Seems pretty rich to accuse somebody of crafting a “narrative” on that basis.

His point is that it *could* be cool. But none of this tech actually solves any problems that haven’t been solved already. He’s saying that it’s interesting, but that it’s *not yet* (or maybe ever will be?) a legitimate take on a new and emerging thread.

I’m not the person you replied to, but as I see it, complaining about “the narrative” is almost universally used to mean “I can’t say you’re wrong about anything, but I don’t like the implications of those true facts”.

Uh huh. So how much did you spend on ugly monkey pictures and how many of them are in this torrent.

Got some real “I’m about to speak to your manager vibes” here.

“fits your narrative”

Is there any reason why you seemed to willfully disregard the artist’s actual point, mentioned in the gist you linked to?
