@Duende@snouts.online here's hoping Microsoft unfucks their approach to ARM because it would be super cool to see ARM gaming laptops

I'm honestly surprised that Rust's async stuff is as ergonomic to use, if not more ergonomic, than Kotlin's coroutines. The lack of intrinsically scoped tasks leaves a little to be desired, but Rust compiles everything down to something so much smaller and more concise, and the compile times so far haven't been offensive at all.

cries about Amaurot again

I mean he was terrible and did terrible things. But he was the best antagonist for sure.

Emet Selch was the best.

@Kat@snouts.online sounds like a movie week tbh

[hell march plays on a distant speakerphone]

So if Gearbox screwed up the lightmaps for Halo PC, what's stopping someone from importing the lightmaps from the Xbox maps into the PC maps

i mean it's no secret that ARK is a poorly optimized mess, but dear god, this is embararssing for such a high profile game

good lord, ARK on PS4 is a hot mess isn't it? these cascade shadow maps stop 5 feet in front of your character

C&C remastered feels damn good for being relatively unchanged from the original games

@yaodema anisotropic filtering has no added storage cost, but it still is relevant for gpu bandwidth on the switch I think

It's 2020. Realistic lighting is not really hard to design, nor is it technically difficult anymore. Environment artist have much more tools at their disposal to make nice looking terrain than just modeling software and seamless repeating textures. Is the industry regressing? What is going on?

My second observation is that the terrain geometry is all surprisingly low poly, with ugly stretched texturemapping that, once again, just like SwSh, looks like it came out of the PS2 era and got some normal maps thrown on it. There's no vertex painting to even try to blend intersections between rocks and sand.

Everything looks better than SwSh but still does not look like a game that will invariably be a best seller should.

This game's lighting looks... Wrong. Like really, really sloppy wrong.

It's like they cranked up the ambient blue lighting to compensate for badly tuned directional sunlight and as a result there's bizarre blue color channel clipping on environment surfaces everywhere in the trailer. It's really obvious in the last scene and in the scene with the Blastoise. I sincerely hope it isn't going to be like this at release.

What the hell is going on with first party Switch games?

@radicalrobit the liberals won't stop infringing my rights by mildly inconveniencing my consumer identity with real world issues!
