  • Most people prefer more fps over image quality, so minor artifacting from DLSS is preferable to the game running much slower with cleaner image quality.

    I don’t think we’re not much different in this portion. AI upscale is passable enough that gamers will choose it. If presented with a better, non-artifacting option, gamers will choose that since the goal is performance and not AI. If the stat is from PS data, and not from a poll, I think it just strengthens that users want performance more.

    There will never be a set performance target again.

    It’s not that there’s no set performance target. The difference is merely one, on the CounterStrike era, vs. many, now. Now, there’s more performance targets for PC than Counter Strike days. Games just can’t keep up. Saying “there will never be a set performance target” is just washing hands when a publishers/ directors won’t set directions and priorities which performance point to prioritize.

    It might be that your point is optimizing for scalability, and that is fine too.




  • These ones I think had drummed up a lot of hype but failed to deliver:

    • “ai” a.k.a. “Plagiarized Info Synth System”. the magic is gone. it doesn’t make decisions. hallucinations show how limited it can and doesn’t match how it was marketed.

    • “smart” cars. all the powers (and tracking) of smart phone apps inside your car.

      • “smart” ref/ fridge/ icebox. plays skyrim. supposedly orders for you when eggs go out of stock. tracking. dedj in a year or so.

      • “smart” tv. more ads. more tracking.

    • NFT. owning the “receipt” of a digital resource is a funny idea. as long as you aren’t the one owning.

      • digital ownership. those online and cloud libraries of your music, books, etc. I have seen news of amazon, steam, and others de-listing items here. if you own one of those, they’re gone.
    • “google+”. touted fb-killer. nobody was there.

      • which leads to: any google product that was scrapped. because google killed it.
    • hyperloop. vaporware. I mean, we can dream.

    below are products that are solely in my opinion and YMMV:

    • 4D movies. oh, seat is vibrating. i got wet.

    • 1gb/2gb/4gb internet. promises up to advertised speeds. flat payment as if said speed was delivered.

    • iphone. all the bright colors and jumping people on the ad. I don’t see iphone owners being high as that. imo, the money i dropped on it is stockholming me – i love it.

    • salad. what’s all these girls smiling and laughing at their salad?
