This report seems accurate, unfortunately. It's worth noting that there's a lot of underreporting of AI use too, sometimes unknowingly. For example, GitHub now uses AI to pre-fill each commit's description. I hear Photoshop may use it for its normal tools such as its smart select as well. #AI […]

I don't like the term "vibe coding". It implies there's coding involved but in reality it's just prompts written to an LLM. I'd use the term "LLM-produced" instead. #AI #LLM #coding

I clicked on two issues from the list of GitHub issues of an open-source project and they both happened to be AI slop. You can usually tell by the structure, needlessly formal tone, and excessive details. Who would want to read those? I'm lucky I haven't got any like those on my repos. #AI #GitHub

In the images below, from Draugen, the area below the eyes is darker, while the nasolabial folds are significantly more prominent, making the character look older. This is exactly the problem we saw with the early Resident Evil DLSS 5 showcase. (2/2) #DLSS5 #gaming #graphics #AI

Though I think DLSS 5 can be quite good at making scenes look noticeably more realistic, that's not always the original intent, but it doesn't ask. Another problem is that, as with the original Resident Evil showcase, it changes people's facial features. (1/2) #DLSS5 #gaming #graphics #AI

Not the first time someone runs into an issue with my mod because one of their keyboard keys is faulty! It's also one of the easier problems to solve because it requires no action by me.

is there a certain location where the FOV changer needs to be run from? I've tried multiple locations with no luck.

the fov changer window shows my current fov when i press f9, holding f3 decreases fov, but f4 does not work

current fov is 80

Rose_ OP • 1d ago (Moderator, Ultrawide)
If it decreases, there's no way it wouldn't also increase unless your button is faulty. It's the same function.

you are correct! I used a keyboard checker and my F4 in fact is not working. thank you so much for the response!

Roughly 80 to 90% of the games sent almost weekly to a relatively large Steam curator I help run are the types that I would call asset flips that usually don't manage to attract even 100 followers. Thankfully, I was told not to review those at all.

One other thing that irks me is that there is no curation for the charts. There are thousands of asset flip and generally low-effort products that can hardly be called games on Steam.
