This is just preferring runtime validation instead of compile time validation.

How long till Trump and friends announce the return of Debtors' Prisons?

I'm guessing this is the final Switch 1 only Direct. And maybe we'll see a couple games shown off both this week and next week with the differences on display. Metroid Prime 4 will probably be the biggest showcase of what a cross-gen title can look like.

I'm fine with the concept of upscaling tech. DLSS 4 with the transformer model looks excellent. And FSR 4 is looking pretty damn decent as well. The earlier attempts weren't as good. Ideally it would be acting more like DLAA, but 8.3 million pixels is a lot to render (4K). And if 8K is going to be a thing one day, it makes even more sense there.

I think too many people focus on the now and can't imagine what things will be in the future as they progress.

Now frame generation, that one I feel less optimistic about. Especially when I see people using it for 60fps or less. It should really only ever be used at 80fps or higher, where the lag is less of a problem. But one day inferred frames, where it only looks at the prior frames and does not wait for the next frame, might make it a better experience.

Lastly, it's NVidia and AMD's marketing departments fault for having them all conflated. DLFG & FFG is what the frame gen tools should have been called, rather than shoehorning them under their super sampling and super resolution branding.

Remember when Google tried to launch their smart glasses, Google Glass? And everyone freaked out about the camera and microphones pointed at you all the time... Why are we not getting that reaction anymore for products like this or the Ray Bans? Have people really accepted the end of privacy?

It was FrontPage for me back in the day

You misspelled "against" (as opposed to without)

Their goal is eugenics. They don't care about killing the sick and elderly

Such an infinitely quotable movie. Some of the humor doesn't hit the same as when I was a teenager anymore, but I swear every single scene has at least one laugh in it.

My all-time favorites have been in place for many years now.

It's a tie between Sonic 2 (Genesis) & Final Fantasy 6 (SNES).

They are two very different games that represent two different concepts in gaming. For Sonic it's all about smooth, fun gameplay. With FF6 it's all about the story and the experience of controlling an ensemble cast of characters. I can beat the first in under an hour, as while the latter usually takes 60+ hours. They're like the yin and yang of videogames for me.
