I assume you've heard "based" and "chad" before, and "gigachad" is a common phrase among... some people. "tera" and "peta" are the subsequent larger prefixes, viz. mega < giga < tera < peta

anyway lmfao

I know people like this are just lying about caring for accuracy, but the majority ethnicity that part of the Sword Coast are Tethyrian, who are dark skinned. Really all the white people in the game minus neverwinterians and asterion should have more of a tan.

How could a game that lets you get away with so much satisfying bullshit, also make ragroll stun-locking a moblin to death with their own weapon you just stole feel so exhausting? Maybe they listened to fans all shouting barbarian armor was overpowered and assumed people would be rolling with maximum combat buff at all times?

I swear to god, it feels faster to kill a Fake gannon spawning from gloom hands Than a depths bokoblin with the master sword on glowing turbo mode. Though that might be due to that enemy chasing you, instead of you chasing after their body being launched 20 feet every heavy hit unless you get them stuck in a corner.

It's a 15 year old joke mocking a bad videogame comic artist who was trying to express his grief about a miscarriage he actually experienced.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Also worth mentioning that a big part of the reason people won't let it go is that Tim is an insufferable dbag high on his own farts.

Interesting. Wonder if the engine will collapse under the extra stress. Didn't Portal RTX have some really bad stuttering?

Veotax
May 16, 2006


I don't think it'll have any effect on the engine. RTX Remix, as I understand it, basically intercepts the renderer and replaces assets on the fly. So if you change an asset in RTX Remix, you're not modifying the actual game, but there's a program that's running along with the game that intercepts the game's renderer on the way to the graphics card and it says "wait, don't use that, use this instead!".
So the game basically has no idea what's going on.

You can use this to change textures, models, inject different kinds of ray tracing.

The reason Portal RTX can run so badly is because it's fully path traced, basically the heaviest kind of ray tracing. Everything is running in real time with light rays and light bounces, nothing is faked.


Due to the way it works, it'll only work on older games. Like Portal RTX is actually running in DX8 mode, because something changes in DX9 mode that RTX Remix can't interact with.
