    The difference is pretty big when there are lots of reflective surfaces, and especially when light sources move (prebaked shadows rarely do, and even when, it’s hardly realistic).

    A big thing is that developers use less effort and the end result looks better. That’s progress. You could argue it’s kind of like when web developers finally were able to stop supporting IE9 - it wasn’t big for end users, but holy hell did the job get more enjoyable, faster and also cheaper.




  • I really don’t see Russia having a chance against us (Finland), in any short term conflict. We’re currently closing in to 900 000 troops in reserve.

    Other Baltic countries withdrew from the Ottawa deal too, which means mines, mines, mines.

    If the Russians can’t breach Ukraine, they sure as hell won’t breach the Baltics while simultaneously fighting Ukraine.

    Edit: I just realized we aren’t considered Baltic these days, even though we were referred as such historically (ww1&2 times).













  • Using 1080 to minimize latency already. Can play lesurely platformers, but even playing arcade racing games like Wreckfest, you just lose all feel for the car since tapping the controller applies the change with too much delay.

    Hardwiring would be the only way. That’s why I’m gonna build a steam os pc for the living room once it’s feasible.


  • BT would work if my PC was in range, then the input would be fast, but still the added image latency makes micro adjustments pain since you see them late, still.

    Running a DP cable instead of streaming would fix that, but you’d need a converter to transform into HDMI for the TV.

    HDMI over long distance doesn’t work.
