The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash - The CEO says artistic control remains with developers. (Tom's Hardware) I don't know. I'm still trying to understand what Jensen is saying in the article. It's not generative AI but it's content-controlled generative AI. Is that not generative AI, but with a different input source? Are you not still guessing what the next frame will be showing? Digital Foundry did a video after the announcement where they did a first look at DLSS 5 and they were told by Nvidia it's going into Nvdia Streamline so optional now, required later. 🤷♂️ So eventually game devs have to bake it in(?). -

The problem with AI guessing is that it ends up a lot like third party cheapo animation houses. They guess one way one frame and another way the next frame... -

The computer and electronics super geek thread
mikeszekely replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't have all the technical answers. The AI is using a bunch of data from the game about color, lighting, motion, etc, but the instead of drawing the frame exactly it interprets how it thinks it should look. As a lot of people have pointed out with Claire, the result can look less like how you expected it to and more like Tilly Norwood (an AI-generated "actress"). But, IMHO, I also think it can take some rather unnatural character models and make them look more natural (see Starfield). I don't think it's totally deepfaking, but it's not exactly limited to just lighting, either. Developers get a lot of say in how much or how little DLSS 5 can actually do, and I'd hope the model's output is consistent, but I guess we won't really know until it's out in the wild. -
@pengbuzz Condolences to you and sorry for your loss. Stay strong.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I feel like it was the ease of the controls. A lot of the other games kinda felt like you had to input a code with the buttons to pull off cool moves, while Samurai Showdown kinda felt more like a motion of the stick to really get some cool basic moves rolling. Kinda like winding the sword back and actually swinging it forward or something. It also helped that all the characters were really cool. Like An American ninja with his best buddy or a drunken samurai. It was just cool all around -

I was mildly obsessed with Snake Eyes during childhood so I never tire of him. Dude, I loved Samurai Shodown! I was never any good at the other games but I could hold my own with Galford and Haohmaru. -
Oh @pengbuzz I am so sorry to hear about your bad news. You have our thoughts and prayers. There really is nothing anyone can say or do that can make this any better, only time will heal. I remember some of the happy news you mentioned when she would secretly buy you something that you've been wanting or replace some model that broke - it was pretty special how she would hunt for these items for you. All I can say is remember all the good that she brought into your world and carry on the best you can in her name and honour. Condolences, my friend and hope you return someday when you're ready. All the best, William

@pengbuzz I am so sorry to hear about your loss bro! I know you loved her VERY much! My thoughts and prayers are with you! Please don't be a stranger and don't go it alone! - MT

Star Wars Maul - Shadow Lord, 2026 on D+
Seto Kaiba replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey, it's the Jedi's fault for not reading the patch notes and seeing that lightsaber damage was nerfed. But recovering from a lightsaber wound isn't coming back from the dead if the wound isn't explicitly fatal. The list of people who've actually come back from the dead is very, very slim indeed. EDIT: I'm not even sure Palpatine counts as coming back from the dead since he's visibly a rotting corpse... more a lich than a returner anyway.- 45 replies

I enjoy No Way Home more than Homecoming and Far From Home. Too much child comedy. Looking forward to Brand New Day.- 17 replies

Now, if only someone would get serious about Samurai Showdown. I had fun with Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and King of Fighters, but the one I really loved and really want figures from is Samurai Showdown and not just a couple characters, but probably all of them. -
I'm good with the HMR Defender. I just need a few more Tomahawks and the Phalanx to go up for preorder.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I had a similar question---if it's basically AI "guessing" at details, is it effectively deepfaking the faces? Based on what? Will it be unique for each user/setup? If you take a screencap of yours, and someone else with identical settings takes a screencap of theirs---will they be identical? Will EXACTLY how a character's facial features appear be influenced by randomness/seeds etc? -
Oh no! I really had thought she would pull through. I feel deeply saddened for your loss and I truly hope you will be able to get through this. I can’t even imagine how tough this is for you. I really hope you have loved ones and friends near you to help you through this. Stay strong and take your time.

Looking forward to the Dukes of Hazzard figures that will be included with the General Lee rerelease. Hopefully Ramen Toy will correct the ugly hood pins.

Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
From hole, three or four, from saber at least 4. Although Maul did both and turd sister survived saber twice, so maybe 5 saber survivals and I still expect a stinky Phasma at some point and I don’t watch the ugly animated stuff, so maybe even more.- 45 replies
