Things seemed to be getting better in the 90s. It wasn’t solved, but it was on course to be getting better. And then 9/11 happened and all of a sudden, it was ok to be prejudice against brown people and it didn’t take long for that to snowball. Seeing that felt like everyone around me was replaced with pod people.
It’s because I never tried to represent an absolute, but you still decided to reduce my argument into one. Most people don’t mod a game before trying it vanilla. The few excepts are games with notorious bugs or legacy titles that only work on modern systems with modifications.
Modding a game is an artistic activity that’s a key part of remix culture and doesn’t interfere with the original artist intent of the game because it’s something that happens after release. DLSS5 is a layer on top of the release game that’s there from the start.
An equalizer is something the end user does themselves to customize their experience of the music, but it doesn’t override the original music or the “canon”. Any music maker will understand the need for equalizers because of unique room setups. They would not appreciate if their music was fed through a autotuner though, especially if it’s something the hardware manufacturer is forcing on the end user without their knowledge.
Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.
An equalizer is a preferred option because everyone doesn’t have the same audio setup. Different speakers and different room setups will effect the audio. An equalizer is equivalent to the calibration settings in your display setting.

Many of those devs got their starts in the modding scene and understand remix culture. What Nvidia is doing is not that. What Nvidia is doing is tantamount to including Autotune in every music player.
No one probably told him about the ones that already exist. That or he’s jealous someone else already made it.
All for the service of a Live Service Game seems like such a waste of effort.
edit: To anyone that takes issue with my cynicism, can I play the Destiny 1 and 2 campaign from start to finish today?
I try not to. If they have shitty political takes or real criminal stuff at least.
A lot of the time, if they’re the writer or director, it shows though in the media.
I’m decrying this AND the racists that demand everyone speak English in America. The American racists will probably say that this is fine because it’s Chinese governing Chinese, so long as they stay in China.
Are you really comparing a completely optional forum to a society where people can and will put guns at you?
Some of us are bombarded by right wing propaganda off the internet. When I come home, I don’t want to be bombarded by it online. You want to know what radicalized me? Being “conservative presenting” and getting to hear what republicans really think when there’s not a minority or “liberal” in the room. None of them have a single idea of their own and just revel in cruelty. That’s what they think offline and when they think they’re in “good company.” Online, they just engage in bad faith arguments and it gets tiring counting them constantly.
Schools hate every kid that stands up to bullying. Bullies know they can get away with shit if it’s out of eye sight of the teachers who don’t really care or even support it, but when a punch gets thrown back, it’s suddenly something they can’t ignore.
I shifted to that view a long time ago. I have a selection of “classics” I play on rotation and I add a few indies or modern ports every now and then.
The multiplay scene went in a direction I don’t intend to follow. Some old friends are thinking about hosting a retro lan party, but I’m going to make it clear that I’m walking if they try sneaking in any modern shit.
If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.
Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that
If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.
I don’t know why EA would be relevant to anyone for the past 20+ years, but here we are.
Epstein seemed like the type to try getting involved in as many people’s issues as possible.
If they can martyrdom, they will. Otherwise, expect that they’ll be selling merchandise and photo ops if they can.
