The £ key on GB keyboards is shift+3.

Ray tracing actually will directly change the way games are made. A lot of time is spent by artists placing light sources and baking light maps to realistically light scenery - with ray tracing, you get that realism “for free”.

DF did a really interesting video on the purely path traced version of Metro: Exodus and as part of that, the artists talked about how much easier and faster it was to build that version.

I think you just need to look at the PS5 Pro as proof that more GPU power doesn’t translate linearly to better picture quality.

The PS5 Pro has a 67% beefier GPU than the standard PS5 - with a price to match - yet can anyone say the end result is 67% better? Is it even 10% better?

We’ve been hitting diminishing returns on raw rasterising for years now, a different approach is definitely needed.

This is why they’re one of the wealthiest companies on the planet. They’re very good at “business”, which is just a way of saying they’re good at maximising profits.

All corporate social media accounts are trying to sell you stuff.

Looks gorgeous but I’m a little disappointed by the games they’ve selected.

I thought it was called adventure time

Sadly it’s a PS1 exclusive game, but the story is super interesting a it revolves around mitochondria.

It’s sort of a mixture of resident evil and final fantasy. Worth checking out on an emulator though!

I’m genuinely curious, how do you feel about parasite eve?

It’s one of my all time favourite games.

Heroes lives in my brain as some of the absolute best TV ever made and some of the worst. The first season is incredible, the drop in quality afterwards is shocking.

One of the “protect our children” protests in the UK yesterday involved burning down a brand new library because…reasons, I guess?

If you ever had any doubts about the right wing protests affecting the UK, remember they burned down a local community library for no fucking reason.

They won 5 seats, not 4 but they had considerable share of the votes which is what makes them dangerous.

TNG’s the inner light is one of its best episodes and it spectacularly fails this test.

Cases like this only prove that a better lock doesn’t improve security when the old lock still lets you in.

The takeaway here isn’t “passkeys are bad”, it’s “keeping less secure methods of authentication as a fallback is bad”

It’s like saying all 2FA is bad because SMS 2FA is dogshit.

Wait, What’s this about corned beef? I am Irish (as in actually from Ireland) and I have no idea what that has to do with St Patrick’s day?

Open collective can let you specify where you want that donated money to go, so if the jellyfin admins wanted to they could have set OC up in such a way that donations could go to specific areas - not just clients, but specific feature development even.

If you’re concerned that your donation to the project wouldn’t go to something you value or your wanted to ensure a client you cared about had support, that would have been a better way to manage it.

I really think jellyfin is making a mistake by not centralising development costs for all the various clients and such out there, especially for those that require some developer account or certification to get on a storefront.

You uhhh…you might have missed the sarcasm on that one.

That context is exactly why Karl’s content is what it is, it’s the same reason so many YouTubers use click bait titles and stupid thumbnails - it gets more hits and more hits is more money.

If it takes you a week or more of your time to make a single video, of course you’re going to want as big a return from the video as possible. And if the choice is 3x the return for the same effort then it’s a complete no brainer.

He makes billions of dollars from YouTube videos or something
