I always believed that they didn’t expect the game would go that big and now they don’t know what to do to cover their own asses.

I installed it because of the free flight that ends tomorrow and it ran horrible on my nvme ssd, I’m talking about freezes when traveling 5-10 fps in space, 30-40 while in the hub, funny thing is that I think it ran better years ago when I was again testing it for a free flight with my Nvidia GPU

So two reasons either it’s a me issue because I have an AMD GPU though yet again, I don’t think so.

Or it’s still really unoptimized, which is a shame because I really like the premise of the game, I like the scale of it and it did things better than Starfield.

It might be one of those placebo feelings, but I think my PC is running slightly worse and I’m working on a video right now I need to edit with Premiere so I’m thinking of formatting my PC, I haven’t done so in many years.

To be honest with you I don’t know a lot, and yeah I guess that’s your point but I remember reading The will to change: men, masculinity, and love by beli hooks back in my 2015 phase and I don’t remember a lot from it, but I think it made some good points.

I think toxic podcasts have a big influence on young men, especially those who grew up without strong father figures. My own dad wasn’t perfect (I joke a bit about it on my profile), and many of us went through that risky “2015 phase” of consuming unhealthy online content.

What many politicians and advocates on the left often overlook is that toxic masculinity isn’t solved by telling men to be “less masculine.” You can actually counter unhealthy masculinity with healthy masculinity. Instead of shaming men, we should be teaching a better version of manhood one that includes therapy, emotional intelligence, and being able to talk honestly about what’s going on inside.

As corny as it sounds there’s a reason when there’s a bad take by a misinformed feminist calling all men evil on twitter ganders a response like “This is why men turn right” and sure while that stuff doesn’t work on me anymore, It’s not 2015-2016 there’s still some vulnerable people that unfortunately fall for it, does that mean though that the feminist is wrong in her views? Not really, but I’m not talking about myself I’m talking about a lot of men that do fall for it.

Most working-class men who grind through 9–5 jobs, going from shift to shift, are worried about affordability and stability. If someone comes along and says “I’m going to make your life easier,” that’s who they’ll vote for even if it’s Trump. You can call them naïve or say the leopards ate their face or whatever , but the reality is that many of these men are desperate for change. And they’ll keep voting for whoever promises that change. When society pushes these men aside or dismisses them, some end up looking for someone to blame. That’s when you get people saying, “Women are the reason my life is hard,” or “Jews control everything.”

Of course, some people are genuinely racist or sexist, and there will always be trolls who just want attention. But why do those trolls exist in the first place? Often it’s because they feel insignificant, and attaching themselves to extreme movements gives them a sense of identity and purpose they don’t have otherwise.

I used to think the space until I saw movies like Oppenheimer and I can’t go back to 1080p.

I think you might be one of the few guys, that prefer 3D over VR

How do you compare it to VR.

I n ever understood why they couldn’t make TPM 2.0 work on W10

Yeah but it’s ten times as immersive as 3D, How would you replace it.

I mean we have VR, make the case for 3D while VR is a thing

Yeah, nowadays I only watch movies in 4K and it’s night and day over Full HD and I don’t know why anyone would say otherwise.

Weren’t there like Blu-Rays? I guess the first movie I watched was Avengers (2012) and it really didn’t blew me away

Nowadays I watch movies with my Quest 2 on the big screen app and think, holy shit

Thank you, may I ask why you downscale and then upscale again rather than just take what Iris gives you

I have them on steam and I still boot up Galactic Conquest from time to time, but playing it with a friend on the controller was amazing.

Star Wars Battlefront 1 was the first PC game I ever played and loved.

If you have the full settings with Iris and Handbrake for me in a screenshot, thank you. I wanna upload some content when I’ll return to Reddit.

Is Iris much faster than you, also how do you convert it?

It’s embarassing how absolutely shit the GPU market is, I’ve lost any hope. I felt the same way with CPUs not too long ago before Ryzen but now the CPU market is vastly more interesting to follow, GPUs are just stale.

No I meant in Topaz Labs.

What models do you recommend usually for AMD cards?
