  • How can you implement anything meaningful with ray tracing when shocker, not everyone can use ray tracing. Games are unfortunately designed for the median crowd. I would argue maybe the next console generation shall be that point when ray tracing is the norm. We have seen this fairly recently with SSDs, where they floated around for nearly 10-14 years in the consumer market being a cool piece of tech but most games were being designed for a hard disk except now most consoles have SSDs as the base standard, so this means the game can be designed around that specification and take advantage of it. Even though I am a PC stan, I understand consoles have a huge impact on the gaming industry.




  • Honestly it just sounds like you are the kind of idiot who would play bioshock and come out with the that it was just a fun game about smacking people who are in diving suits with a wrench and having super powers. Like its clear you are a troll since you are choosing to pick games that have no in game story then shouting “LALALLALALALALALAL” when people tell you that the fucking instruction manual the game comes with has these themes. Funny part is your argument would make sense if you were talking about other kinds of external material like the whole star extended universe or someone talking about the halo books when talking about the complexity of the universe but this is a thing that came with the game. I’m sorry you either didn’t have a childhood where you didn’t read the fucking manual that came with the game but I assume you were illiterate when it came out.



  • I mean sure people use it but many people don’t fully grasp the whole system. Hell even the more techy ones barely scratch the surface of what there truly is but the fact many people. Many people are going to use things like youtube, any of the social media sites, etc. Their point was for them to use it well and they aren’t wrong. Many places I have worked I ended up falling back as the tech person since most people only know the bare basics even though their jobs relied on this kind of thing for a decade or two. People only pick up what they need to know.

    A good example of their comment about

    Believe it or not, most people don’t understand how to use computers well and find it easier to trade money than to learn,

    I seen it pretty hardcore when stable diffusion came out. Lets just ignore the ethics of AI art (its messy and I’m not a huge fan of the commercialization but it is a fascinating technology). There are many interfaces that require just copying a folder and double clicking a bat file, then it runs with 0 problems (as long as you have a Nvidia gpu) but many people just don’t want to fuck about dealing with python or git, so they pay a subscription service to do their renders for them. Its not that hard to see people who will spend money to just solve a problem rather than work on it to make it work.

    Apparently even zoomers are not that great with modern office technology even though they were the generation raised fully by modern tech.
