To give an update, I did end up getting a Shield because I really want enough horsepower to have a proper, smooth experience. I got the non-pro version and saved a little bit with that, since I mainly just need it for streaming media from a NAS.

So far it’s been good, though I did also find out that some of the stuttering was probably caused by having subtitles on and using the LibVLC player instead of exoplayer (or automatic selection that was apparently choosing it?). I still had stutter on the Shield when using LibVLC in combination with subtitles, though I think it might have been less pronounced. As soon as I either disabled subtitles or changed to exoplayer, the stutter was gone. It’s still a little early to say for sure, though. The general UX and lack of UI navigation lag has been great.

I will also say that I feel like the image is just… different. I think the contrast is bigger and blacks are darker, despite making sure I’m on the same picture mode (from TV settings). I can’t really say that it’s better, just different. Might just be in my head too, honestly. I should compare the two at some point…

I might come back again even later to do another report. :)

I don’t know why people insist on this narrative. Isn’t the truth horrible enough? Hamas is allegedly using hospitals as shields, which is horrible. Israel is willing to kill countless civilians to get at Hamas, which is also horrible.

It’s constantly improving though.

DLSS 3.5 for example comes with that new AI enhanced RT that makes RT features look better, respond to changes in lighting conditions faster, and still remain at pre-enhanced levels of performance or better.

And Reflex fixes a lot of the latency issue.

A lot of games don’t use the latest version of DLSS though, so I don’t blame you if you have a bad experience with it.

Seems like a really stupid ban. Unless you’re overly online and/or up on the latest trans discourse in the US, calling women females is at worst a little weird, but ultimately innocuous. Could easily be an ESL issue also.

Now if there is good reason to believe OP is intentionally using it in the weird incelly way, sure that’s bad. Although unless OP is like intentionally missgendering or otherwise harassing people with the word, I personally think it’s way overkill to police it even if he does mean it in the incel type of way…

Edit: Oh wait, I’m slow. The punchline is probably that the “female” in question is either a man or trans. Yeah in that context the probability that OP is intentionally being weird is probably much higher…

I wish it was just “towards the left”.

I’m very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.

Apart from making it political for no reason, how on earth did you come to the conclusion that doubling the kill count and putting the responsibility on someone else makes you a decent person?

I agree. I’m also a bit of a completionist by nature so it’s doubly as painful since I can’t just do the main story…

I have gotten a bit better about it in the last few years to be fair. Though sometimes I relapse and realize I’ve wasted 80% of my free time that day doing mediocre side content.

Yeah. I never really watched shorts, but I recently started watching them and I get tons of right-wing/red-pill shit in there despite clicking on “dont recommend this channel” (or whatever it says) on like 50 of those types of channels.
