I highly recommend this read on the rendering and performance of the most recent "Metaphor: ReFantazio". It is no wonder the game looks and performs the way it does on all platforms based on the findings here.

@JeffGrubb Tier 2 source Jeff Grubb is correct 👍

It's been weird watching the Internet narrative on the PS5 pro this week.

$700 for a Pro: Wow no thank you. Way too expensive. Barely an upgrade. Go away.

(Likely) $900+ for a gray version with some forced upgrades plus it'll be really hard to buy: You son of a bitch I'm in.

@GarnettLee Congratulations brother.

@itsVanAken old man gamer / Uber driver here. It was great to meet you & I hope you get all the B roll and some forbidden C roll @ PAX!

[Guy Thompson @Gnerma]

@lucyjamesgames You immediately came to mind when that happened. I guess you've become the "It's da bat!" person 😅

[Alexander Battaglia @Dachsjaeger]

I have to agree with Steve here, very interesting stuff going on with Intel Battlemage. Arc was a huge die for the performance it had vs. the competition. Reigning that in and changing up the units is going to be fascinating to see.

@oliemack Thanks for doing the 4k encode of the direct this week!

@Dachsjaeger Weirdly DLSS is not in the PC Game Pass version of Jusant. But it IS in the Steam version (as advertised by Nvidia in their driver update doc yesterday). Any idea on why that might be?

[Guy Thompson @Gnerma]

@DONTNOD_Ent Hello! Why isn't DLSS in the PC Game Pass version of Jusant? Regardless could you please add it? Thanks.

[Guy Thompson @Gnerma]

Hi game developers. I don't want to have to "Press [button] to enter the game" after a load. Just open the game.

...resemble anything like a representation of reality. It's not what I'm looking for in game's visuals in 2023. Maybe when I have 3x the GPU power I'll be able to get a proper image out of this thing. I think I'll be playing Phantom Liberty with RT off.

[Guy Thompson @Gnerma]

I really don't understand how most people find the path tracing mode in Cyberpunk 2077 nice looking. To get it to run at a worthwhile framerate I'm using DLSS at Performance with frame gen. What you end up with is a very soft, unstable, dreamlike presentation that doesn't...

I feel happy and secure and am so ready to explore the galaxy with Todd & everybody else across the globe.

Happy @StarfieldGame sorta release day nerds. I'm taking a sick day to start playing. I can only do that because Washington state forced my employers to offer sick time. Thanks bro.

Today I'm still in Seattle, I like this city more all the time. I'm newly engaged to a wonderful woman who treats me with respect and kindness. I also have an optimism about the future that I haven't felt for a very long time.

@dark1x Having a desk setup from your past go viral/become a meme must feel really strange.

[Guy Thompson @Gnerma]

@oliemack I'm truly glad you guys are okay & am sorry you've had to go through this, it must be really tough.
