i told my mom about my backup career plan (simply become a successful independent artist working in a medium I've never worked in significantly before) if the kleptocapitalists who are ripping the figurative copper out of the walls manage to crash the video games industry hard enough that i have to consider regular programming as a backup plan which they're also working around the clock to wall off, and she didn't try to talk me out of it lol
@aeva As a graphics programmer, you're probably going to be okay. Well, that is, unless the C-suite drives the entire industry off a cliff and into a volcano, like you mentioned.
@Legit_Spaghetti it gives me hope that basically everyone hates dlss5 (except the nvidia ceo and some boot lickers at digital foundry)

@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah, the fact that even people like... fighting game content creators... are getting fed up and publicly tearing apart some of this stuff is actually encouraging.

I like to post about my personal research, various side projects, and I like to think out loud a lot. Expect weird humor, esoteric ramblings, and occasionally also art I made out of math. I like implicit surface modeling the normal amount. Chronic pain enthusiast. 🏳️‍⚧️ Curses are just blessings with caveats.
