  • Game developers should never use upscaling, develop everything at native 4K with 4K ultra textures, and for playing at lower resolutions the game can remove pixels for lower resolution. Similiar to how 4K recorded video looks better at 1080p than 1080p recorded video.

    For framerate and GPU performance, we are now in the 4K capable GPU market and only getting better every 2 years. In 2026/2027 people will NOT require the top GPU for native 4K 120fps which means 4K GPUs are only going to get cheaper and cheaper, not for price but can start pairing a lower GPU with a 4K screen.

    Upscaling is not available on older games, some of those are more popular in terms of favourites than brand new releases, and upscaling is inconsistent across games that have it.

    The smoothest performance across a random 20 to 30 games will always be to only play at native resolution with no frame generation technology.










  • Thank you providing reasons for why it’s your favourite game.

    I bought the New Order/Old Blood combo on GOG.

    Prey looks really nice. Don’t you primarily play through the game with a sword, having a lot of required stealth kills?

    Is Turbo Overkill an arena game in a single environment, as opposed to progressing through multiple levels, say, in like a military campaign?




  • Someone else said Ttitanfall 2, to which I replied “I have it, I have not played it through, only played half an hour to an hour, but I will trust you and play it through soon to give it a proper try”

    I will watch for Effect and Cause to see what you like about it so much.









  • I would describe it as software that is not 100% open source, and/or connects to services that run is not purely open source software connecting through standard protcols. It can’t have a proprietary connection.

    Basically, if both the software and the service do not run reprodible builds of the software, it is an anti-feature. For example, Proton, Telegram and NewPipe are open source apps, but the source code for their servers is not published so it’s a proprietary connection or servers run proprietary software, so those apps have anti-features.
