That’s true. Ray tracing libraries and engines like UE5 are a lot easier to develop on than older engines.

But I’m not sure it’s such a simple comparison. 3d acceleration made games look better, and the weakest gpus didn’t make your fps tank afaik. Your average gpu these days will tank your FPS in ray tracing and cause awful visual artifacts, either from bad denoising algorithms, or from the upscalers used to hide the bad FPS and bad denoising.

This move reduces development costs, but given that the consumer doesn’t get any benefits from it, it’s hard not to have the cynical view that this is just greedy cost cutting on Microsoft’s part.

Microsoft getting me to buy this game requires me to care.

Not buying a new GPU for a new Doom game.

there’s an African I work with, I think you guys should investigate him because hes really bad at his job and he’s been posting extremist content online. He’s obviously a DEI hire and I really think he needs to be fired. His name is Elon Musk.

Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven’t been revised since the 80s or 90s.

what the fuck is a deia contract. Do they just want a list of scapegoats they can be racist, sexist, and bigoted to?

theyre invasive

Zelenskyy said European leaders should not ask themselves what Trump would do next, and said that they instead needed to take collective steps to defend their continent at a time when it was under aggressive attack by Russia.

“We all need to unite,” he said, adding: “Europe needs to learn how to fully take care of itself, so the world cannot afford to ignore it.”

Zelenskyy showing some true leadership in Davos.

Also, Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia need to shape up and stop blocking Ukraine in NATO (and peace in Ukraine).

Like hell he will

Basic democratic principles and checks and balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement and media will be robbed of their independence and misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power

I think this mainly means that tech companies will be able to regulate online speech and commerce, which is forbidden in the EU under the DSA and DMA.
