Yeah, and these companies are wondering why we’re restricting these social media networks in Australia.

Facebook is literally full of criminal incitement that they won’t remove

Funny how after opening weekend, nobody bothered talking about this documentary again, except to discuss the grifting behind it.

I wonder how many of the people who said they’d watch it only lasted 5 mins

Yep, business owners are already whining that they need to pay workers a living wage

You’re not even in Australia it looks like.

I feel like a lot of financial review readers are the exact people who are targeted by the new tax changes.

The poll isn’t really useful anyway if it’s not normalized by checking if the majority of readers are right wing.

Id love to see the poll also normalized by whether they are negative gearing or/and have trusts to dodge tax

It’s like polling sky news. Only useful if the trend is away from the right wing realistically

Yeah, I started a major project 20 years that got a lot of attention.

I gave it up after a few months because whilst there was a lot of support, you have to constantly fight against a holes who will tell you how much you suck compared to other options, or how unnecessary you are

Yeah. But unlike the steam machine, completely locked down and possibly sold at initially no profit which is recouped in games.

And possibly won’t play older games you purchased

You mean media which likely favors the elderly and people who are right wing?

Probably need more info on what you’re running. It’s much better than bazzite on my rog Ally x (and definitely better than the windows shiz show it shipped with). But, if a desktop, not sure yet

We really need a firefox addon to block reddit from google results automatically

Sony have always been a sh** company though, even as far back as their proprietary mini disc format.

No doubt they’ll be the people least deserving

Here in Australia I’m hosting a snow trip next week… there is still no snow in the mountains where we’re goin

Also f summer. Hayfever and bushfires suck

I have no idea why you’re getting upvoted… You keep saying optimisation, but for what?

Mind referencing where the 86mb claim comes from?

They’re either likely including different scaled images, to help accommodate different video card VRAM configurations, or, full quality that gets scaled as required. My guess would be a few differently scaled images, as you wouldn’t pull in 4K images for Scenary that is in the background for a game, and then rescale in realtime if you’re not running with much VRAM (similar to icons, they have multiple scaled images too).

You’ve picked a bad example (EA), but there are plenty of remastered games that are absolutely fantastic compared to the original, like Command and conquer (obviously though, VRAM isn’t an issue there). That isn’t even the first NFS dud though (a lot of them were garbage after HP). In fact, Fairly sure I bought the latest one and it doesn’t run correctly on my Rog Ally X (even when set to 30W).

One other consideration is that we’re also playing games in 4K these days, which absolutely makes a difference to 1080p.

We all look back fondly to games from 20 years ago which blew our minds away, but, if you replay them, you’ll absolutely see the difference. My mind was blown with Half-life 2 as an example, but, I started playing it again, and the quality difference is DEFINITELY obvious to modern games. Similar to when you switched from glide to OpenGL on Half-life 1, and it felt too crisp (and was better quality, but uglier)

Previously low resolution make things look better, and reduced expectations, but its blurring and such obscured bad textures. With 4K, even in movies, every pimple and bruise now shows clearly on camera, and blocky textures are obviously. CGI in movies becomes blatantly obvious too (watch the matrix 2 as an example). That’s why resolution matters a lot more now.

Serious question, do you seriously think image lossy compression is difficult for game developers? lol

There are googly eyes on my robotic vacuum. Ie. DJ Roomba

Id imagine that movies and textures use up the bulk of the space.

There isn’t much to optimize there. Optimizing for performance also sometimes requires additional storage

It’s wild that you’re getting down voted 😂

You’re not wrong.

Pornhub is blocked. I just checked lol.

All the videos up aren’t porn, and there is censored porn videos to click that asks for verification

And yeah, honestly, pornhub is more ethical than Facebook, because they take down content that is illegal. Facebook don’t

Again, meta aren’t even moderating anymore.

They aren’t doing enough. I’ve seen lots of obvious criminal incitement amongst other things that has been reported, and it’s not against their standards

It’s not that teens shouldn’t socialize, it’s that meta have been so criminally fucking negligent that the biggest dipshits on the planet are normalizing absolutely crappy behavior

I would go one step further and start fining them heavily for all criminal activity that doesn’t get taken down too

Lets thought experiment…

If I create a local AI, and train in all the music, images and assets from GTA5 and then prompt it to create a game, with the GTA5 storyline with screenshots of videos of each storyline point and outcome… Should that be legal? Should it suddenly make it legal if I add 1 extra image that is public domain and got blended into it a bit?

Whether it is legal now, and whether it SHOULD be legal are two different things.

The laws simply haven’t caught up yet… Just because AI blends up a bunch of images it was never given permission to use and you can’t trace where they were from, doesn’t mean it SHOULD be legal to do so. Thats the problem.
