CommentRe:Trump is finished (Score 1)251

But there are plenty of Republicans who reluctantly voted Democrat this time because they were sick of Trump.

And the election was still fairly close. You don't think there are plenty of voters who would vote Republican when they can without having to deal with Trump?

I know lots who would vote Republican over Democrat so long as it's not Trump on the R ticket.

CommentRe: Bull**** why was he scratching his head? (Score 1)69

Hmm, DLSS is great, but it certainly doesn't look better than native resolution, at least not on my 3080.

Even in DLSS Quality mode (which is the highest) there are some noticeable artifacts with DLSS that I can see when playing including temporal blurring artifacts (on far away detailed surfaces as the up-scaling struggles to fill in the gaps in information), ringing on high contrast edges (from too much sharpening), and more noise in certain textures (also from the upscaling struggling to properly fill in the missing information).

DLSS looks better if you stand still or move really slowly, because the way it works is it renders some frame at low resolution and some at high and mixed together their information.

So if you are moving quickly, you see the blurriness of the low resolution frames where the up-scaling isn't quite enough to fill in the missing information, but a few frames later, the high res renders properly fill in the info and the blurriness goes away.

None of this happens on native rendering for me and native looks better IMO though all these artifacts.

CommentAwesome time IMO. (Score 1)177

What? Now was an awesome time.

I just built a new system with a RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5900x and these latest parts are a relatively huge step up over the last gen.

We have not seen jumps like this in awhile, especially in the CPU realm. I replaced a 7.5 year old CPU (4770K) and 4.5 year old GPU (GTX 1080).

If you are diligent, you can manage to get the parts for MSRP. My friends did the same, so I know it's not impossible.

CommentMaybe because PSVR isn't that good? (Score 1)112

I started using VR 4 years ago with the Vive, and switched to the Index this year.

I spend way more of my gaming time in VR these days than I do on a traditional monitor.

The Index on a PC is a significantly better VR experience than PSVR both from a physical hardware standpoint (large roomscale setups) and from a visual standpoint (higher resolution and 144Hz).

Sure there's allegedly "asymptomatic" people

According to antibody tests we had done. Both my parents (63) and (65), and me and my sister (32) and (28) have all had it and none of ever felt the slightest bit sick and still feel 100% normal.

My sister and I do intense cardio regularly and have not noticed any difference in performance or feeling.

Just my experience with it so far.

CommentChicken Pox twice (Score 1)236

There are also documented cases of people getting the Chicken Pox twice.

Yet despite this possibility does anyone ever worry about getting the Chicken Pox twice?

No, because it's exceedingly rare. As it appears to be exceedingly rare that someone would get COVID-19 twice.

There is not enough data at all and there is likely a good explanation as to why these few people have apparently got it twice.
