Dark souls 3

Coming back after finishing Elden Ring, and I must say, the concise, “railroaded” world works much better for the FromSoft formula, IMO

No hate against ER, it’s a great game. But it definitely drags on a bit long


From what I understand, FSR1 is not a temporal upscaled, so it shouldn’t have ghosting.

That does cause the quality to be lower, though


Upscaling really is black magic
I have an RTX 3060 that I bought about two years ago. Until recently I only had a 1080p 75Hz monitor, so I could play pretty much anything on max settings. Then I decided to treat myself to a 1440p 180Hz monitor, which has been amazing. Obviously this is a lot more GPU intensive, so I have had to turn down some settings. Then I decided to try out FSR. I'm on Linux and gaming mostly through Proton, so it was as easy as adding a launch command. Holy crap. Elden ring (admittedly not a very intensive game) went from a choppy 50 fps on high settings and medium ray tracing, to a smooth 60 fps on maxed out settings and high ray tracing with FSR Quality. And I can't even tell the difference from the upscaling! I'm super impressed and can't wait to try out FSR 2 and DLSS now!

Action Role-Playing Game

Basically a game focusing on levelling up your character to become your preferred version of killing machine, as opposed to maybe more of a diplomat or a rogue in what you would find in a typical Role-Playing Game (RPG)


FWIW the latest Grim Dawn patch has implemented a dash action you can use to avoid AoEs or get into the thick of things

Not quite the same thing as what you’re referring to, but a step up from the brain off “click to attack until target is dead” of other ARPGs

Why does the USA have jurisdiction over what TSMC (a Taiwanese company, AFAIK) does with their manufacturing tools, even if they come from the US?


What EldenSoulsBorne boss gave you an embarrassing amount of trouble?
Many bosses are really hard and have racked up a dozen kills per player. What boss has the community labeled as a pushover that you've died an embarrassing number of times to? Crystal Sage from DS3 has killed me at least 8 times every playthrough, but every forum I've visited has made them seem easy.

Played it in the v6-7 days.

It introduces multiple new fleshed out factions with really good balancing. Obviously there isn’t going to be a lot of voice acting for characters not in the movies, but that’s a pretty minor setback, all things considered


I browse Reddit occasionally without logging in (I also shredded my account after the API changes) and I see many posts that make me worried about the sort of data LLMs will collect once Reddit management allows that



Off-topic, but there’s a cat that lives nearby that has your name


The day we can use biocomputers like that is when criminals start hiding URLs in their DNA to rickroll the police chasing them


Fuck it, give the students maps

Give the teacher maps

Everyone gets a map!
