You can simply not use any of the AI features. The studio claims the genAI is a model trained solely on material their artists and devs created for this exact purpose and it runs locally, and as far as I know there is nothing in the game that uses genAI other than what the players can generate.

If you’re using Tuya devices and your network is dual band (same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz), it’ll work just fine without needing to change frequencies. I have a couple of very old Tuya lamps that I connected just like that

Google Play Services is not Android.

Google can decide all they want, but they can’t close source Android due to the GPL.

“This just in: Lemmy user sole responsible for companies ‘Denuvobaiting’; more news at 11.”

They’re probably referring to “f”, not “Silent Hill”

Americans.

So yeah, nobody cares about SMS/RCS

Because they want to play games and have fun

UE doesn’t get “near rebuilt from the ground up every major release”, that would be an absurd waste of time and resources every time. It’s being updated and iterated over, just like how CE is.

The problem here is that you don’t like Bethesda games and jumped on the bandwagon of armchair developers using the engine as a scapegoat, ignoring the fact that many other mainstream game engines are just as old or more.

Creation Engine is the least of Bethesda’s games problems, it’s their game design that’s the big issue and the reason why thinks are so bleak.

No, just like how the current Creation Engine version is not the same as the first one from 20 years ago.

Unreal Engine is 26 years old. id Tech is 30 years old. What’s your point?

Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on.

Capcom straight up recommends frame gen to get 60 FPS, which is not what the current frame gen tech was made for, it’s ridiculous how bad this game runs

The issue there is 4K, even with upscalers it’s a massive rendering job for GPUs. Realistically, only the 4090 and 5090 could run in high settings at 4K (with or without upscaling). I had a 4K monitor with my 7900 XTX and decided to dial back to 1440p (and got a n OLED screen too) so I could run my games at max on 120 or 144 FPS, because at 4K I would get anything between 50 and 100 fps with a mix of high and medium settings

I think Avowed is the smoothest (strictly comparative) game on UE5 I’ve played in a long time. I get 120fps locked on epic and no shader compilation stutters (1440p, 7900XTX and 7800X3D, FSR quality) outside of cities. As soon as I enter a city and move my camera/character, it dips to 50fps with my GPU barely being used and CPU spiking, which really doesn’t make much sense to me considering the aren’t a lot of NPCs in town and they don’t move/have routines

The engine itself isn’t the problem developers just don’t optimize shit because they aren’t given the time/derective to

The same can be said for CE2.

While the Creation Engine can be limited, the issue with Bethesda games is not the engine, but their development and direction

How is that a dick move? Bethesda (and other companies) don’t owe anything to the very small community of modders of their products, and they certainly aren’t doing this rumoured remake out of spite for the Skyblivion team.

Swiping on the space bar only moves characters, the faster/longer you swipe, the more characters or words you swipe. There are no other functionalities that overlap or conflict with this

Gamers massively overstate minor inconveniences. TAA smearing, upscaling artifacts, VA ghosting and blooming, ray tracing noise, all of that you get used to it on a day or two and never notice it again but leave it to the gamer to go on a crusade like their lives and the world are doomed because of it

Seems like the bug where random things become light mode, on Android 15. I think you can toggle off and on dark mode and it’ll be fixed, or change your colour theme to something else and back.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article

Patents are about how you achieve a goal, not the goal itself. You can have multiple parents on “switching for character to vehicle on top down 2D environment” as long as the means to do so are not the same.

it quite literally takes 5 minutes with a WebUSB installer.

With a supported phone, on a Chromium browser on Windows. It takes much more than that usually, depending on device, to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM

If you can’t have fun then no one can, right?

AFAIK there is a mode that focuses on story, at least there was since I last played a year ago

They’re probably referring to fiduciary duty, but with their own words.

This seems good and all on paper but in the real world this means you become a social outcast that’s left out of everything

Netflix was always bound to the shareholders desires, Valve was never and as far as Gabe and his successor are concerned, it won’t. This and Valve’s unique hierarchy are big factors into why they haven’t enshittified.

Steam is a monopoly surely, but it’s a rare case, or maybe the only case, where it became a monopoly both because it is actually a good service that is not enshittified, and because the competitors kept shooting themselves in the foot.

I guess that’s what you get when you don’t have any obligation to shareholders.

To be fair, the only people criticising his yachts are some smartasses over Lemmy and Reddit thinking they’re on a moral high ground by doing so, when everyone else doesn’t care

If you read this article you would know that these are quotes from the Half Life 20 year anniversary documentary released a few weeks ago.

Finally! One of the most requested (and complained about the lack of) features from tech circles and even outside of those, but leave it to Lemmy users to be comically negative about it.

You people are miserable

The issue is that the Venn diagram of people interested in vikings/odinism and racists bigots is almost just a circle

Because they are different devices serving different purposes. The r36s is a portable emulator that’ll run games from different consoles; the playdate is a portable console that runs games made specifically for the playdate.

“Why would I want to put anything on these highly used social networks where all of my friends and people I follow are?”

His videos used to be pretty good, but his RE4 “comparison” one was pretty much 40 minutes of strawman arguments from someone that hates change. I’m not hopeful at all for this video here considering DRDR turned out really good as well.

People vastly misinterpreted this EU ruling. Having pull tabs, or the new thing Apple is doing, is already enough to be in line with the requirements. Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water, thus they aren’t required to have an easily accessible battery cover.

You don’t need a Google account to use either Private or Work space, and Google recommends using an alternative account to your main one.

This game costs 80€. No other game in the market costs as high as that for a base edition. You’re claiming that a 80€ game offering a 20€ subscription to a feature every other game that offers it has it for free, is a reasonable thing.

Some people are really delirious…

They can’t link because it doesn’t exist. This is a green account with quite a negative reputation, their comment is just a bogus line that is brushing people off from this app. They even misspelled the app’s name in their misinformation attempt.

Unless they’re in India, I don’t see how that’s possible. Google will block you from doing payments if your account is on another country for too long (after a month or so from my experience), and after a year they’ll forcefully move your account to the country you’re residing in.
