  • That’s like saying “you shouldn’t mod games, 'cause that’s not what the dev intended”. Idgaf what the dev/chef intended, if I like mods in my burger, I’m gonna season it to my liking.

    You can dislike what this dlss5 is doing all you want to, but in the end, no one is forcing you to actually use it. Sure, some devs will start to rely on it, but those same devs never gave half a shit about what their burger tasted like in the first place. They’re the equivolent of a McDonalds burger. The devs who won’t rely on this, and who have a vision for their artstyle won’t be affected from this, in the same way that indie devs aren’t affected by the newest call of duty.

    The devs who give a shit aren’t gonna be forced to even make this available in their games. DLSS has always been a choice, if the chef doesn’t want me to put ketchup in their game, they shouldn’t offer it by putting the ketchup on the table in the first place.







  • As much as I am a big fan, and user of public transportation, saying it’s just because billionaires don’t want trains is a bit disingenuous in my opinion. A car is simply much more convenient than public transportation. If I wanted to go to burger king from my house, right now, I could walk 5 minutes to the train station, jump on the train, take that for about 2 minutes to the next station, jump off and walk another 10 minutes to burger king. So like, 17-ish minutes. If I went there to get takeaway for both me and my wife her food would be cold before coming back, even if we live in a scenario where the trains match up perfectly as to avoid any waiting times at the station.

    Lets call it a roundtrip of 35 minutes just to get a burger. Again, assuming that the trains, because they are so incredibly wellfunded in this scenario, that I can step on a train pretty much any time I need, instead of the hour it is at the moment.

    If I were to take my car, the same distance would take me 5 minutes. So a roundtrip of 10 minutes.

    When I take the train to work, I need to bring my bike along because trains don’t stop in front of the factory. Time from set off to arrival is about 45 minutes. In my car I can get there in 15 minutes. That’s 60 minutes of wasted time per day.

    My point is, taking trains is not going to work for a whole lot of people, and brushing them and their needs off because of it isn’t going to solve anything.
