[@romulino]

There's no valid reason that could ever justify banning mods, it's just plain old abuse of power that the companies just shouldn't have.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

I think of it like this. If I buy a pizza, whether I want to eat it, or wear it as a fricking hat, at the point of purchase that is my business. If a company sells a product they have to be prepared that it is up to the customer to do as they wish with said product, as long as they are not copying said product and selling it or making profit from their IP them there should be no issue. Not for profit mods are fan tribute and furthers enjoyment and their sales of current and future products.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

The only way they are acting could make sense slightly is if they have plans to remaster or remake those games. Even then that is a stretch. All they do is give themselves a bad image and name and hardcore fans that may likely have bought their remaster or remakes will just say no. Real fans would have bought a quality remaster or remake, regardless of mods and enjoying the old games. Also it encourages money to be spent on the old game as well and prolongs enjoyment. The only threat to their franchise is themselves turning on the people who gave them success. What weird behaviour and lack of vision.

[@purplehaze412]

While I don't play inverted, the best explanation for the mentality behind it I've ever heard was that you're controlling the characters torso - up is to learn forward, down is to lean back. Imagining the motion of walking up to a deep pit and looking down it almost feels mentally like you're pushing forward to look down the pit, whereas when you're done looking down the pit you pull back away from it.

I’m really loving all the PC tech talk! Can this be a regular thing for you guys? Upcoming updates/ software / hardware etc … this is great stuff.

[@CakeMelons]

As usual, pleasure listening to you guys. I used to have weaker PC that often couldn't do stable 60 fps in many somewhat demanding games and back then i also didn't have VRR monitor, so my solution was to create a custom resolution with a lower refresh rate for my monitor, i actually had set of them, like 40Hz, 45, 50. And i would choose them when gaming depending on what my PC could handle and yea, i do remember that difference between 30 and 40 was pretty big, i'd say huge even, games felt much smoother.

[@TerraWare]

That's one of the things I love about pc gaming, the customizability. Even if you have weaker hardware you can tune mix low and medium settings to get a playable experience. You still get to play the same game in the end as someone with more powerful hardware.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

15:13 i like how we are slowing going back to the old days. SSDs are like cartridges and everything is accelerated with a co processor.

[@itsjusterthought7941]

No it's not like the old days. SSD is not equal to a cartridge. The cartridge was media memory. The SSD is main memory. Memory gets smaller and faster the closer you get to the processor. Media storage>>mass storage>>RAM>>level 3 cache>>level 2 cache>>level 1 cache>>registers>>processor. That chain of events is designed to make best use of storage size vs latency. The idea that you can remove RAM from the equation because you lack fast data throughput and stream SSD data direct to the GPU is a just a short term fudge. Yes current SSD is faster than last gen RAM, but it is slower than current gen RAM. Great for playing old games in higher quality (Game Pass), but no good for cutting edge future innovations.

I really don't understand why people struggle to understand 40fps on 120hz TV's Most TV's are 60Hz so it refreshes 60x a second. At 30fps, the screen refreshes twice (shows the same frame twice) for every frame - at 60, its a new frame every screen refresh. You could have 20fps - a frame is shown for 3 screen refreshes. A 120hz TV, at 40fps will show the same frame for 3 screen refreshes, at 30fps, you get the same image over 4 screen refreshes and 60fps, you get 2 screen refreshes per frame. Variable refresh rate means that the screen 'refreshes' every time a new frame is sent to the TV. Its not 'fixed' at 60 or 120hz - its matched to the frame rate so if you have 57fps, you TV is operating at 57hz to match. Because the frame rate and refresh rate are matched (or a factor of), you don't get screen tear or judder. That's why consistency is key - especially with displays with fixed refresh rates

[@chengcao418]

The intel talk about "DXR 1.1 style" means the shader handles the path tracing branching logic in something like a compute shader, where ray queries are used to cast individual rays inline with the compute shader. The "DXR 1.0" style means you use the DXR recursive ray tracing system with all the shader binding table, ray gen shaders, etc. The 1.0 style means the hardware handles branching and recursive calls instead of software, which gives hardware a chance to shuffle around and sort rays / calls to achieve greater performance. On some platforms (especially current RDNA implementation), a software approach may achieve higher performance by doing the scheduling or sorting in software (by the game engine essentially), but this may not always be the case if hardware has the scheduling capabilities. This is probably what Intel means here, they want developers to utilize the hardware's ray scheduling

[@PixelShade]

Regarding the cross generation question and direct storage... One thing we need to keep in mind is that this technique is primarily used to enable larger quantities memory to a limited memory setup. If you look at the PC space a lot of normal PCs these days have ~8GB-16GB VRAM + 16GB up to 32GB DDR4 RAM... even if you have a slow 2.5" SSD and initial loads are a bit longer, streaming engines can utilize PCs RAM as a middleman instead of direct storage. (which the consoles cannot) and DDR4 RAM is in fact faster memory than PS5s SSD. :) DirectStorage is cool tech, and will work wonders for consoles. However, PCs can always power through these things since they are constructed with a split memory structure.

[@flimermithrandir]

Why not go to 64 GB RAM and install the Game on the RAM… Obviously thats better. But its also Way more expensive.

Inverted controls for the win

[@krandeloy]

Non-inverted people control the their line of sight in real life, AKA 'camera angle', with their face. Inverted controller people do it with their whole head/skull. (front of face Look down is down, back of skull tilts down when looking up.) -- I used to always play non-inverted, but my older brother and most of his friends would all play inverted, when we would being doing death-pass sharing a game (person plays, dies, hands controller to next person) I'd be the youngest in the room and the only one putting the controller back to non-inverted and they have to switch it back. Peer pressure, as in my brother literally sitting on me to take my turn, eventually made me learn how to play inverted.

[@thebookkeeper3508]

On the topic mentioned by John of VRR at frame rates below 40fps, it actually works perfectly on my Gigabyte G27Q monitor since it supports Low framerate compensation (LFC). Sure, the frame rate naturally starts to look a bit choppy once you get below around 45fps, but frame time consistency remains great even as you go towards 30fps with LFC. I have found that one reason people might have a bad experience with LFC is that if a game does not support arbitrary frame rates (e.g. Sekiro is capped to 60fps maximum), then LFC does not work. In other words, LFC does not work in Sekiro if the frame rates drops under 50fps or so.

1:10:59 I don't have a problem with the "if ever" comment, especially with respect to the current console generation.

We *might* get Direct Storage within that time frame, but let's be honest with ourselves, M$ hasn't even figured out HDR yet and that's a last-gen technology. TLDR, laughing at whoever asked that question was unnecessary.

I am also an OLED desktop user, I have an LG B8, it has 13 thousand + hours on it now (if I am leaving the room for a couple hours like 2 or 3 ill leave it on, and half the time I leave it on over night, might get turned off for 3 hours at a time lol, it has no burn in that I can find anywhere, but it came with about 12 dead pixels right out of the box, and 2 or 3 are right next to each other and very noticeable. The reason I like it is because of response times, 60hz OLED compares and IMO beats LCDs at 90hz, even 120hz in terms of motion resolution. Every phone I've ever had in the past 10 years except 2 have been OLED, and I've never had an issue with burn in with them, my Galaxy S only died last year and the screen was A1 besides broken glass. It only takes some common sense to keep them in good condition, don't leave them on max brightness all the time! My B8 OLED spends 95+% of the time in standard mode with 0% backlight, it's still plenty bright enough to use with the curtains open, and Ill leave a browser open for 48 hours at a time, with KZbin, Ebay, Google, literally 100s of all those static tabs lol

If you’ve bought a legitimate copy of a game you should be able to do whatever you want with it, modding needs to stay.

Except for cheating in a multiplayer game of course

i still use inverted look because of games like x-wing, tie fighter, and descent before the FPSs of the time (namely doom and "doom-clones") had the ability to look up/down. it was only natural to use the flight stick model of looking up/down in games like quake.

[@AirsickTadpole]

Inverted all the way.

The mod takedown does make sense in a twisted way as the most likely type of mod for older titles is graphics mods and the like along the same lines as a remaster: which are doing quite well. The main difference is that the remasters that are worth anything are hilariously better than any graphics mod I've seen.
