The appropriate use of this technology would be to make rendering dirt cheap and then apply style transfer as a constant overhead. But really, it should be something the game does. Like if you develop on some 500 FPS relic of an engine, but train with offline renders of whatever you want it to look like. Full global illumination, true subsurface scattering, flawless hair sims. all that fancy shit. Spend an hour path-tracing each frame. That’s the look you’ll fake on top of a fullbright Source g-buffer.

Probably the Reliant Robin.

Like it matters which hat he was wearing when he committed insurrection.

It’s almost like buying things means you own them.

Fuck any criminal treatment for civil copyright whining, but moreover:

Linux is free.

Still white spyware.

Anticheat needs to be about more than ‘you’re not allowed to look inside your own computer.’

“I can’t go into specifics because there’s legal prohibitions about that,” Kennedy told Stewart in the June 11 call. “If it’s something that you want to talk about, you know, you and I can talk about specifics.”

The five-dollar term is “conscience of guilt.”

Y’know you could just write “Billionaire donor Hildebrand” and it’d be as many words.

It’s coming to GBA one of these days.

I have said of billionaires: I hate him so much, I want him to have one hundred million dollars.

Let’s try this again.

“Federal judge in DC allows The Idiot to attack voting by mail.”

I so fucking tired of quintuple-negative headlines.

Discovery says try it, dumbass.

When, not if, they do it anyway - arrest them.

Charge them.

Apply consequences.

He is serving his function. Sony is gripping their platform with both hands, after nearly letting it slip away. The future presented by Helldivers 2 and various Spider-Mans is one where Sony’s a relatively large publisher for several important studios. The future where they deny reality and cosplay the 90s console war for another decade is one where they are the biggest fish in a small pond, and that makes more money, somehow.

I’m unclear how that will play out if Microsoft simply declines to release another Xbox.

Well aside, it’s surprising nothing on PS2 tempted you. Several tentpole titles did famously get PC ports, but if you’re more about Kingdom Hearts than GTA, that machine was like $150 by 2004.

Post below this: It says gullible on the ceiling.

We’re well into the You Can Just Do Things era, and the little folk should recognize that includes them.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

Ban the entire business model.

There are other ways it might work, like if there is a method of compression that is discovered that reduces the necessary RAM and Compute needs by 2-3 orders of magnitude. So models that are considered very large today (100-300 billion params at full quality) might be able to run effectively on a single 32GB GPU that costs a few thousand dollars.

You might want to check in on how well distilled / quantized models are doing, compared to gigundo datacenter versions.
