The OG link is already the post link. They included an archived think in the post body

Didn’t they announce that 4 years ago? I can’t find any recent news about it

Wait so you’re saying the problems we’ve been pointing out for years are actually real problems and they can’t venture capital their way out of it for much longer? Neat

At no point did I say anyone was entitled to anything - just that they’re justified to complain. The maintainer doesn’t have any requirement to care about their complaints nor any requirement to address them. But the people are justified in their response.

If I spend my own time building a rickety wooden bridge across a river and people start using it, I don’t owe them anything and I don’t have to maintain the bridge.

If I then spend my time reinforcing the rickety bridge to make it more reliable and sturdy, and perhaps wider so it can support small carts and horses, and more people use it, I still don’t owe them anything and I don’t have to maintain the bridge.

Then perhaps I spend my time turning it into a full concrete/tarmac bridge that can support vehicle traffic and it gets widely adopted so much so that people basically expect to use it in their day to day. I still don’t owe them anything, and I still don’t have to maintain the bridge.

Then I make some further changes to the bridge by using the “tool that sometimes makes bridges better and sometimes makes it fail without warning”, and the people who have come to rely on my bridge start being unable to use it because it randomly drops them into the river. I still don’t owe anyone anything. I still don’t have to maintain the bridge. But I would certainly think people are justified to complain that I did something quite fucking annoying and potentially harmful.

Fucking jumpscare

Fuckin love a dork

I dunno, mothership is pretty fuckin excellent

To be clear, “here"s the Nth fuck you” was me referring to the fact that you insulted my intelligence. I was not saying fuck you to you, but pointing out that you had implicitly said it to me.

1. I absolutely can tell when DLSS is on vs off. The swimming artifacts are blatantly obvious. I think it is a fantastic technology, I do not agree with the direction of AAA games making non native resolution rendering part of their performance benchmark. Seems to be an issue here and there broadly in AAA games but it seems to be the default for UE5 devs. Also here we have the first fuck you for simply assuming I’m too out of the loop rather than just having an informed, differing, opinion.

2. I brought attention to TW4 because I’ve seen the examples of optimisation cdpr are doing. Here is the second fuck you for simply assuming I’m out of the loop rather than having an informed opinion. If the Witcher 4 has hardware requirements that are appropriate for the visuals, then it will be the first blockbuster AAA in several years to do so, and I will celebrate their success and be glad to continue enjoying their art.

“I doubt it’ll allow you to disable RT entirely” is a huge problem. Rasterized lighting looks about 80-90% of the way there compared to full RT/PT with all the fancy pbr textures and all, but has a performance cost which is dwarfed in comparison. Offloading what could have been a dev’s handiwork onto the customer’s hardware willy nilly is part of the bigger problem. And we aren’t seeing cheaper games as a result of the corner cutting, despite the extra burden on consumers.

My experience doesn’t match yours wrt the 2080 being capable of handling current day rt only titles well, quite the opposite in the case of my friends with 2080s, but thats anecdotal from both sides so its moot.

I don’t expect RL to run as well on ue6 as it does currently. Obviously. That’s why I said it. If they do some big visual overhaul then we can’t compare apples to apples, sadly. But if it is just an engine swap without investing in PBR materials and stuff like that, then why would it be reasonable to expect UE6, a newer, hopefully more refined engine, to run worse than UE3?

Anyway. Despite your assumptions about me, we are both clearly informed on the topic(s) and have drawn differing conclusions. If you’re going to continue to engage with me with the same lack of good faith as your first reply, I’d kindly request that you simply do not. Have a good day.

Yes, it is possible to make performant products in UE5. Nobody bothers, though. Far easier to just turn all the magic buttons on that Make Game Look Good™ and then shunt the downsides onto the consumers hardware. I want to be proven wrong, desperately - I would feel nothing but joy if the ue6 rocket league was equally performant compared to it’s current state. I’ll be overjoyed if the Witcher 4 doesn’t require AI upscaling to run at 60fps on the latest hardware because perhaps cdpr devs can give a damn about their optimisation despite using ue5.

Really sticking to our guns on being TERF Island, huh? I’m so fucking scared folks

A diverse selection of my indie favourites:

Celeste, Citizen Sleeper, Outer Wilds, Tunic, Stray Gods, A Short Hike, Disco Elysium

With platforms like bandcamp and qobuz you can purchase albums/tracks and then download them or you can stream your purchased library - so the artists get paid better and you still get to stream your music

You can totally be a theatre nerd or a math geek

Yeah, they said nerd talking

Was it so necessary to use ai slop to make this meme?

Neat, thanks!
