They pull this shit in the US too. Back up your postal workers, Canada. A reliable nationwide mail system is key to a healthy country and it's your right as a citizen to boot; don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Get mad if someone says it's not needed.

You need 91 more people in the first frame for this to be to scale.

It's not meant to stop you getting caught, it's to distribute information. But it works sometimes, when people forget to look, and copies are easy to make and distribute.

Ha! Well, very cool project my guy 😊 I'm just speeding by on mobile and thought it looked cool, I didn't look too deeply. But there ya go, I saw the post and I wasn't even looking for it!

Got a link? I can search but I'm curious if you used a guide or other written resource?

Also, on a more personal note, you ever wish you'd recorded the process from start to finish for any projects, in case you feel like making a guide? I always think about it about twenty minutes after I've started whatever I'm doing 😅

My wife, but she's the best thing to happen to me every year ♥️

That's fair, it's an actively developing field and I have not been keeping up! I think I didn't have a good experience with it on my rig and mentally shelved it as something to think about when I have scads of cash to blow on frivolities since I didn't seem to see any improvement in Cyberpunk. But I'm perfectly willing to admit that my test was not scientific in any way shape or form - my rig simply chugged so it might have been impossible to appreciate any difference, with the stuttering.

Consider the case file open again, I'll give RT another chance.

Huh. I've seen the RT lighting too, in Cyberpunk, and wasn't impressed. But then, I was only using a 3070 (on a Ryzen 7 3700X with 32GB of DDR-3400 RAM), and gaming at 2k, and the performance hit was massive even with DLSS on. I was getting >60fps consistently with RT off. I've noticed weird visual artefacts with RT too. Just seemed underbaked, to me, but that was a few years ago now and as you might have noted my hardware aging even then. I'd say aging well, but still maybe underpowered for what I was trying to do with it.

By "the app" I mean "the nVidia app". Collecting telemetry data is one of the stated goals of that software. I don't know what it collects, but it's well-established it sends computer use data back to nVidia. Same with Windows; you have to actively opt out of the telemetry every update (shout-out to O&O Software for their "shut up 10" and "shut up 11" software!)

On a completely unrelated note, I think it's important to take some time every now and then to remember important historical data security techniques such as steganography: https://hackeracademy.org/steganography-hiding-secret-files/

[–] voracitude 1 points 2 days ago (5 children)

The drivers, no. The app, yes. Windows, yes.

Can I ask why you want Ray Tracing at all? Is it just for gaming or do you have another specific application in mind? In my experience RT is not that much better than rasterised lighting, for games...

I started the game with a variation of this idea from Rogue Rat, but instead of a legendary farmer's daughter I dominated a legendary hulking baboon. 53 strength and 60 health seemed like a big jump in power from my water merchant.

It's going... pretty well so far.

"Noita, but fish" indeed.

Thanks for checking out the second version of my Noita fan track! This one sounds kinda like Scandroid. I did and do love the first version which was much closer to power metal, but I wasn't happy with a lot of aspects of it. I re-wrote the lyrics, re-generated the whole thing from scratch using Suno, and then spent ten hours figuring out the basics of DaVinci Resolve to add all the different animations and transitions. It's still not perfect but I'm happy with it... for now.

I hope you enjoy it!

I had my best run going in over 280 hours. I had a homing rock wand, infinite spells and vampirism (infinite healing with the oceans of blood from corpses, not to mention grinding up the meat realm), an unmolested potion shop in the mines, and so many hearts I had 451 health with Vampirism. A fast teleport wand, a black hole wand I could have used to dig to parallel worlds eventually. I had killed The Alchemist and the Meat Realm boss with my sick homing quantum-split plasma beams on a Sparkbolt + Trigger.

Then I found Touch of Water.

No room in my inventory, onto my chainsaw wand just 'til I could get back to a Holy Mountain to save it for later. Saw a corpse, thought I'd top off my health and fired my chainsaw wand.

Actual footage of the event:

I finally feel like a real Noita!

I hope it's okay to cross-post this here! I'm not trying to spam, I didn't realise there was a difference between the different instances and thought my posts to one would be visible across all. I'm still getting the hang of this Fediverse thing 😄

This hits hard 'cause I was one of the fans so hopeful that Starbound would be Terraria 2 (In Space), and backed it on Kickstarter.

The presentation is a bit editorial at times, but I feel it's a pretty good overview of the game and the context surrounding its development, hype, and downfall.
