I mean I guess it's good that he's honest and all that but please fuck off forever now.

I won't lie I am kinda stunned by the blunt admission here

like it's not that it doesn't have use-cases for casual users but they're generally more along the lines of "oh that's neat"

the problem is that it's a tool made by programmers and engineers, a field where it is genuinely completely revolutionary, and those people are thinking that it would be equally revolutionary everywhere else when that isn't really the case

anyway AMD's work in bringing FSR to older GPUs paying off I guess

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 11h

that's not what this is. this is an upscaler that renders the game at a lower native resolution to improve performance

Guys I'm looking at the comparison of this feature that's meant to increase clarity with fine detail through a tiny compressed image on my phone and I'm not noticing any difference

If I'm executed I'd want it to be through firing squad not just because it's the most humane but also because it has the most aura

Honestly the reaction to this is interesting because it's not really that beyond the pale (putting in your PayPal is ten times more efficient) but also it does feel like image board memes from 15 years ago becoming real

the thing is that there's always a few companies going "we're going to make a hardcore PvP MMO" and it invariably turns into the Warcraft episode of South Park where some max-level no lifers just run around slaughtering newbies

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

the only "calling anime by the Japanese title" that really annoys me is "Boko No Hero Academia" like motherfucker "My Hero Academia" IS IN THE DAMN LOGO

Clicked on a video about the Witcher 3 remaster and the guy was sponsored by HDMI for some reason

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

yeah like the N64 VC emulator was your best bet for playing some games for a long time but also I don't think people update their priors sometimes

Kirby Air Riders had some particularly really dire HDR

Closest analogue I can think to Outfoxies is duck game honestly

seriously the fuck are these timing windows dawg

Tried playing PaRappa the Rapper and I think at this rate I have better odds of 100% FCing Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero 3 than I do of clearing the tutorial level in this

Yeah AI is a demon for reverse-engineering and that speeds up a lot of the decomp work but a lot of people really don't understand the limitations

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The language is just kinda not suited for it I think, rap's all about complex rhyme schemes and that's just not really a thing (at least in the same way) in japanese

000

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I'll be honest I feel like Japanese Rap music is not great in general

I made an account on the Dolphin wiki just to add this to the Wrath Of Cortex page

the steam forums are a tarpit but they also save my ass a lot of the time when getting old jank games working

also the Umbrella guy going "don't fire the gun in the car, do you wanna shoot the engine out?"

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

the gag where he flipped the car trying to get through the gate then had the key fall out of the sun visor killed me

Idk what y'all are talking about that JoJo ending credits song was lit

Playing the RE8 DLC on hardcore may have been a mistake

People complain about modern smart TVs and not necessarily without reason but I do really appreciate stuff like "oh hey I can just use Bluetooth headphones"

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

in hindsight we should have let the Fine Bros stop everyone else from doing react content

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

watched the new Resident Evil movie that was some good shit

000

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I like how it's half typical "grr how you dare stand in my way" villain shit and half "no genuinely how are you alive I ripped your fucking heart out"

000

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Miranda in Resident Evil 8 probably has the most justified "why won't you die" crashout in history

100

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'm not a fan of the ink ribbons in Resident Evil but at least it's straightforward enough, Crash Bandicoot is just fucking bizarrely convoluted for no reason

000

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think the save system in Crash Bandicoot 1 is one of those "friction" mechanics where the remake was 1000% justified in just taking it behind the shed

100

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Honestly I'm not one for "man algorithms are bad they should be bad" talk. Have you seen the shit the default YouTube homepage gives you. Is that what you want to deal with

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

In RE4 this happens when you get to the castle and meet Salazar and in San Andreas this happens when you get exhiled from Los Santos

001

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Resident Evil 4 and GTA San Andreas are both interesting games because they kinda have a similar thing going on tonally where the tone of first third of it is tongue-in-cheek but still fairly straightforward before they descend into absolute lunacy

101

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

when the letterboxd review has shit like "an awe-inspiring invocation of the beautiful moving picture" that's how you know the movie is complete ass

000

Garfield & Friendslop @error52.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

the problem is that if you try to argue against the technology without really understanding it you just end up with hacks like Ed Zitron
