That’s not strictly true, since your frame rate could be either CPU or GPU limited. If your process is light and running on the thing that has compute to spare, well then it’s running on “free” compute time.

Yeah, I was referencing light field displays. I think we’ll eventually see an attempt at a commercial VR unit with light field displays, but I think it’s about a decade away before the first one goes on sale. They also have the added difficultly of needing even more renders from the GPU.

The lense adjustment would still mean that objects at different distances would still all be at the same focal plane, but that the focal plane would change depending on what you’re looking at. I bet it’s probably good enough for most people, but I’ve never heard of it before so I’ll look into it.

Not OP, but I’m going to have to wait until we get depth of field going in a headset, which is still a ways out. There are some desktop units for commercial sale to optimists, but that’s it. With the current VR headsets, having the focal distance never change just doesn’t work well for me.

It does suck that the art of optimization has been largely lost. I dream of the performance we could have if developers took it seriously.

Older than Doom

I, too, am barely older than Doom, but this chud is huffing nastolgia. New tech is at the edge, practically by definition.

That said, I’m not really sure what DLSS 5 is supposed to do beyond a vague “it makes games look better!” Kinda annoying for a performance hit when it’s not even clear what the goal is.

No you got it, just collecting. They kinda make for neat art.

I feel like reporting illegal behavior supercedes any contact you signed, but I’m not a law person

Accepting a common flaw among humans is not me giving up on a better world, it’s just accepting that the better world must account for this flaw.

That’s like, 95% of people, yeah.

You gotta remember that no one except known communists are pitched lemmy on the basis that it’s developed by a communist. Everyone else gets that fact omitted.

I want our trains to have to deal with the speed of sound.

It’s incredibly annoying that we should have the fastest bullet train network and we don’t.

They won’t, they’re not that dumb.

I haven’t played Minecraft, but the Minecraft vs Vintage Story videos I’ve seen made it clear I picked the right one for me. I laugh when I die and I love how much work it takes to put a ceramic tile roof on your house.

I absolutely love Vintage Story, but I dunno if it’s the best suggestion for someone who doesn’t like games that can feel like a life simulator. If watching pies rise isn’t your thing, you’re really gonna hate when you look away for a few seconds and come back to burnt pie. XD

Yeah I mean, they were pretty clear that there were gonna be bugs, but I can understand the frustration. For me it’s about building houses, and playing as your character is just a minor annoyance needed to get more money. XD

I also had bugs on launch, but only a few and they were minor. Software is weird.

I have the “Edward Kelly” achievement in Kingdom Come Deliverance due to brewing 15 types of potions. Only 3.3% of players have it, which is pretty high compared to most of the ones posted here, but it’s still a little interesting. Brewing potions in the game is a bit boring, and you can easily buy all the ones you need, so it’s understandable why few people would get it. I just kinda decided one day I wanted to get to auto-brew level of skill and that meant lots of potion. Might as well make as many different kinds as I can, and auto-brew requires you’ve done it once already anyway.

And how does a person actually get it?

You looking into Paralives? I’ve enjoyed it in early access.
