Ted Price's announcement to leave Insomniac came as a shock for many employees. It seems Sony was the main reason for his decision. Sony forced Insomniac to create third-party action-adventures over & over again. Ted tried to avoid layoffs, but Sony forced him to. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I was considering Starlink because it's a relatively cheap satellite internet service, but news like this are a red flag 🚩 I hope every Starlink customer - big or small - reconsiders their choice. There are alternatives not run by a russian nazi asset like Elon. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

Nvidia's Neural Texture Compression is pretty impressive! Up to 96% lower VRAM usage 😱 Officially requires RTX 20 series GPUs but it also works with GTX 10 series, AMD Radeon RX 6000 series and Intel Arc A series - NTC potentially becomes a mainstream standard www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...
Nvidia's new tech reduces VRAM usage by up to 96% in beta demo — RTX Neural Texture Compression looks impressive
But there is a performance cost.

I support Trump's impeachment! After all, no one voted for the immigrant Felon Musk to become president, yet here we are. I'm not even American but such a technocratic power grab is highly dangerous for all democracies around the world.
That South African immigrant running Tesla was such a catastrophic DEI hire 🤦♂️ I feel sorry for Tesla's original founders. They just tried to revitalize the EV market but Elon DEI hire Musk had to turn Teslas into Swatsicars ☠️ markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/...

Trump is a DEI hire ! Otherwise it's hard to explain why a convicted felon who tried to start a coup becomes president - despite his incompetence and inability to form coherent sentences...
Those videogame grifters who advertised Trump will cheer for this 🥴 Sure, consoles & PC might cost a lot more but at least they can pretend games would become slightly less woke 🫠
The Verge@theverge.com · 2y agoTrump says he’ll put tariffs on imported chips ‘in the near future’
I left Twitter because I don't want to support that far-right platform anymore. Now Elon Musk spoke at the rally of the german nazi party AFD 💩 This photograph is so iconic. And that's just a few days after neo-nazi Elon Musk gave multiple Führer salutes at Trump's inauguration.

Just a few hours after his inauguration President Musk's right hand slipped... Vice President Trump won't be happy about it. He also won't care, tho.

Looks like AMD makes some impressive progress! This a truly a game changer for upscaling. Not as good as DLSS but seems better than XeSS and a lot better than PSSR.
Digital Foundry@digitalfoundry.bsky.social · 2y agoTucked away in AMD's CES booth is an 'AI Research Project' that must surely be FSR 4... and it's impressive and very different than Sony's PSSR. Alex and Oliver compare notes! youtu.be/RVQnbJb_vjI
Yoshinori Kitase : "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can't be exclusive to a single console anymore" Square Enix deeply regrets to have signed that Sony exclusivity deal for a trilogy. Part 1 had average sales at best, Part 2 sold even less and Part 3 would be a significant loss if it stayed exclusive.
RTX 5080 retail pricing leaked 😱 Nvidia RTX 5080 $2799 AUD (incl. 10% GST) = around $1500 USD (excl. VAT) For reference, RTX 4080 launched for $2219 AUD, so RTX 5080 is 26% more expensive. youtu.be/7r2iBhxDhEM?...

I wish Quick Resume would finally come to PC... Quick Resume is by far the best feature of the current console generation. It's amazing being able to continue exactly where you left, even if there's no save spot around. On PC it might have hardware compatibility issues but I hope it's coming soon!
Players have 72h to finish the game?! 😞 Welp, that's awful. I hate time-limited campaigns. If it was a single mission or two, that's fine, but being forced to finish the entire game within a time limit makes me want to skip this one. 🤷♂️

Tom Warren@tomwarren.co.uk · 2y agoI think this will make more sense soon.
Basically, it launches after PS6 but will be limited to PS5 games that you played years ago? Of course, with obvious downgrades. What's the point of this? It sounds like something that won't sell because it trails a generation behind. I hope Microsoft aims for a premium next-gen-compatible device.
Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 2y agoBloomberg: "Sony is in the early stages of developing a portable console that would play its PlayStation 5 games on the move." Likely years away from launch and Sony could decide against bringing it to market. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
GT7 is the latest victim of PSSR 😞 Luckily, you can disable it. However, if you keep PSSR enabled, you can spot severe artifacting on the car's body. PSSR makes reflections dithered, adds flickering lights & random blurry spots. Video showcasing PSSR downgrades: youtu.be/2EGUWDOAXdM?...
