  • Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

    This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

    Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

    DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.

    Bandlimiting isn’t just used in “AI”. It is a basic term for either chopping or smoothing out any signal.

    I think of shaders, because currently that’s by hobby project. But basically whenever you have a lot on unwanted noise, not a lot of information and need to be quick, bandlimiting comes to the rescue.

    Basically genAI images are weirdly smooth, because there are limited ways to quickly process a output to keep the network from exacerbating noise artifacts in the next step. That’s why practically all genAI images (but especially the earlyer ones) have this uncanny smooth look to them. That’s why LLMs struggle so much to procede in a story, despite have a shit load of flowery language to describe everything.

    You can see that this isn’t AI generated, because of the physical coherence, the lack of bandlimiting, the small thingy to push the little light switch being an the right place, the reasonable arragement of shelves and the perfect amount of eggs every fridge should have.

    I love this. It leaves just enough out so that it’s not immediately obvious what’s happening, but gives enough clues so that you can figure it out as you scroll.

    It builds up nicely, and once you understand it, it leaves you feel clever & very fulfilled as a reader.

    You’ve basically figured out Valve’s (the video game company) definition of “fun” for a short comic strip. You should be proud of that! Also love the style. I hope to see more whenever you find inspiration.





  • I propose the body temperature of an average opossum as the fixed point for 100 because they are cute as heck. We shall call this unit Possigrade. And anything above 100 Possigrade should be called the ‘rabies zone’ and 0 Possigrade should correspond to 8°C, as this feels very cold when dressed inappropriately. In addition, there is now the Bakers Possigrade, where 100 corresponds to 27°C, as this is the temperature at which sourdough bread rises by about ⅓ in 5.5 hours.

    But seriously: Celsius is fine. On Earth, we are primarily interested in water at atmospheric pressure. Too many things contain water (pipes, food, paint, etc) and they react differently at 0 °C than at 4 °C. For this reason, we deliberately avoid using water in applications that are regularly exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Water is simply everywhere, so 0 °C and 100 °C are important tipping points for general use.
