Ye, I guess that's plausible, but what I don't find plausible is the the author didn't pick up on it! Or any of the editors!

You're right though, maybe it wouldn't really fit that sub

Do we have an equivalent of r/thattotallyhappened or whatever that sub was called?

What? I respectfully disagree. The reason I struggled to stay on Pixelfed, and recently Loops too, is because as a new user all I was seeing was classical art, and landscapes (and the odd weirdo) but nothing actually entertaining. Loops at least has people copying stuff from TikTok. I'm not condoning that behaviour, I'm just saying as a casual new user, that was pretty much the most compelling content.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but IMHO the content creators are the core of any social media. Pixelfed and Loops will both live or die by the creators they attract

ETA: I love weirdos by the way, that wasn't meant as a negative. If anything, more please!

We'll figure that out later. In the mean time, lets just keep them concentrated in one place, like a resort... or camp

LLMs not being able to tell us what bread tastes like has nothing to do with intelligence. it's a qualia. I think you meant it cannot KNOW what bread tastes like... although I still don't understand why you'd think that's a requirement for intelligence

No, he didn't, sorry! Just googled it myself. They've been around in some form since BCE

I apologize for my last comment, I was drunk when I wrote it. I'd rather not put that kind of negativity into the world.

I do still disagree with you though.

On paper or not, the system supports it, which means that they are very likely NOT supporting two lighting systems, which means that, yes, my point still stands. The series S is only 5 years old. The minimum system requirements are for 7 year old hardware.

EVERYTHING else is a matter of optimization, which no one here can comment on until the game is released. You just cannot know the game will perform badly until it is released.

As evidence of this, I will again point to the Indiana Jones game which is a) Ray Traced, b) Runs on the series S, and c) runs at 60fps (although, admittedly it's apparently blurry)

This is my last reply because I just can't with you anymore.

Those are some HELLA cherry picked examples. Both Dragon's Dogma examples have the games running at MAX SETTINGS!

Even the Cyberpunk example, that was RAY TRACING on Medium.

I can't read german, so no idea what is actually being said in the Indiana Jones article, but the closest equivalent I could find is this video which, frankly, tells me you're completely full of shit.

It's cute that you think that was a good counter argument

forcing gamers to have a sub par experience

The game isn't even out yet and you're commenting on performance! As someone else pointed out, the modern Doom games have a reputation for being extremely well optimised, so let's wait and see how it actually performs on a 20 series card

As for needing a card > $1000 that's just ridiculous. You can get a 4060 NEW for under 500, and again, the minimum here is a 2060.

Re: supporting old hardware, again. The minimum is 7 year old hardware. I was also around in the 386 era and to say that devs of that time supported hardware for longer, is at best, wildly exaggerated.

I can't comment too deeply on consoles. I have no real experience with them, but from a very shallow level, the series S was released in 2020, and Google suggests that it supports ray tracing.

So my point stands. Stop expecting your 10 year old hardware to run new games indefinitely
