White noise is critical and underrated.

Hey, don't talk shit about The Lusty Argonian Maid, it's a classic!

Saw this for the first time a few months ago at a movie night I do with friends every so often. It was a fun watch! I'd recommend to music lovers and people who appreciate angsty coming-of-age stories.

Ran out of lime juice, so I've been making some poor man's margs with mango tequila, triple sec, and pineapple/coconut seltzer water. I have no idea what you'd even call this drink, but it hits the spot.

To each their own, of course, if you prefer not to use the features. But it's not actually simulating any gameplay, it's just interpolating new frame data from already-rendered frames. The actual game logic isn't being simulated or affected at all. You can think of it as just smoothing out the end result, which has already been computed by the game engine.

That being said, I'm not sure how it would impact a game that has incorrectly tied its game logic directly to the framerate. My guess is the interpolation step still happens after all that occurs, which means it would still not affect actual gameplay, but someone who knows more can correct me if I'm wrong.

I had the same issue when I tried this the other day! There's a big "neither/both" gap that I wish it accounted for. But I suppose it's not really the point of this particular test. Would be interesting to measure that somehow, though!

Yeah, I definitely agree with the sentiment. I try to evangelize the fact that Gen AI !== AI because AI as a whole has a ton of amazing benefits at low cost. And it's way more prevalent than people realize. But I don't disagree that Gen AI has been appropriated for some of the dumbest shit ever that costs an arm and a leg to create. A* is a good example of what I was referring to in my original comment. Simple, effective, useful. That being said, I'm sure even Gen AI could have some worthwhile benefits if used in better ways, but it sure does seem like we can't have many nice things as of late (2024) 🙃

First person on my dad's side of the family to get a master's degree. I loved school, but I'm also very happy to be done with it haha.

Edit: maybe the first to get a bachelor's as well, but I'm not 100% sure about that. In any case, I'm proud to have gone through all that. Learned a lot.
