@ludicity "No we didn't break our cloud-provider uptime SLA! It was Zeus disguising himself as an intern that sabotaged us from within, you must have given him a sacrifice!"

that insurance person probably: "Nothing we can do here, force majeure, but I'll still take my money thank you very much"

@shivoa Maybe I'm just cynical but nobody seems to actually target 120+ fps

All the upscaling and framegen is just used to get everyone to 60+ on high/max settings and then the rest is up to pure luck

Which sucks as no game has got the temporal aliasing/upscaling without oversharpening or blurring right for me, but running without tanks your fps and nobody even tries on anti-aliasing without dlss/fsr anymore

though tbf i have significant problems with stereo vision so i notice it way more

@mcc never had issues with wifi personaply

otoh bluetooth *never* worked and trying (accidentally) sometimes crashed the entire os into a recovery mode

so uh... yeah

@shivoa there were some wavelet based codec experiments in the 90s that I remember reading about
so that the bitstream format was designed so each additional detail level would just apply to the original data

though I feel like a format like that necessarily has to be more expensive at max quality? would be interesting to see stats about quality distribution among all twitch consumers, I'd imagine that most are at source quality or close?

@shivoa I think it's not necessarily about monetary value mostly just FOMO

More about having something you really liked, learning that there's more of it, but getting to the stuff you missed generally requires repeating things you already did.
I think this hurts story-based games more than action games, think about rewatching a 2h movie just to get like 2 scenes you hadn't seen before.

Games that just allow you to skip to certain places (Zero Escape etc) do seem to alleviate that a lot
