This is "digitdigitdigit" by SegaSky. It's a mashup of Ethan Carter III's TNA theme ("Trouble") with clips of "Macho Man" Randy Savage. It was originally posted to YouTube in 2014 but it got taken down. I'm explaining all this because it was a pain finding this thing, and I want it to be easier for everybody else to search for it.

Anyway I got the song stuck in my head this week, so I tracked it down. They said I couldn't do it on guts alone, but I say I'm a million percent. That is better than a hundred percent.

10 Fandoms / 10 Characters / 10 Tags

Tagged By: my loves @kylo-wrecked and @tangleweave Tagging: Anyone who feels like they need one more Sunday this weekend.

~*~*~*~

I. Marvel: Beta-Ray Bill, Eddie Brock/Venom, Doctor Strange, Phil Coulson, Vision, Groot, Spider-Man {Peter Parker}, Gambit, Doctor Morbius, Bucky Barnes. M'Baku {Hate the moniker of 'Man-Ape'}.

Honestly never please talk to me about it, because I have rabid opinions about literally everything. And lastly, I only included tv/movies here because books and rpgs would require an entire three or four Long Ass Posts all of their own. Much Love.

Call Of Duty Season 6 With NVIDIA DLSS 3 And NVIDIA Reflex

Call of Duty Season 6, GreedFall II: The Dying World releases with DLSS Super Resolution support, The Casting of Frank Stone and Witchfire are currently on Steam with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation support, and Satisfactory has left Early Access with DLAA and DLSS Super Resolution support.

Call of Duty Season 6: Warzone

Evil pervades, and the air is frigid. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Warzone Season 6, the Haunting seeks retribution. Late-night horror fans should enjoy the new Drive Thru Multiplayer map and Mad Cow map variant. Call of Duty Season 6: Warzone features the return of Vondel Night and the Hellspawn, as well as free Rift Runs and double Schematic recovery in Zombies.

GeForce RTX players may boost performance with DLSS 3 and Super Resolution and Frame Generation and minimize latency with NVIDIA Reflex.

The newest games use NVIDIA Reflex for responsive gameplay. Reflex decreases system latency, making single-player games more responsive and engaging and giving you an advantage in multiplayer battles. Over 50 million players utilize NVIDIA Reflex each month, 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters have it, and 90% of GeForce gamers activate it in over 120 supported games.

Witchfire on Steam with DLSS 3 & Reflex Support

The creators of Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and the Vanishing of Ethan Carter created the dark fantasy first-person shooter The Astronauts’ Witchfire. In order to win the fight against witches, the Church uses prohibited pagan magic to convert voluntary sinners into eternal witch hunters called prayers. The greatest Vatican sorcerers have given you strong spells and terrifying guns to discover the witch of the Black Sea, fight her phantom army, and uncover a strange item that may end war.

Casting of Frank Stone

Frank Stone Casting Out With DLSS 3 Support

Supermassive Games’ narrative skills combine with Behavior Interactive’s Dead by Daylight universe in The Casting of Frank Stone, a new horror game set in the famous 4 vs. 1 multiplayer game.

DLSS 3 with Super Resolution and Frame Generation accelerates frame rates on GeForce RTX GPUs in The Casting of Frank Stone, improving the experience.

Echo Point Nova out with DLSS  Super Revaluation

Greylock Studio, which made Severed Steel, is releasing Echo Point Nova, a solo and co-op open-world first-person shooter. Play as a skilled explorer who crashes on a mystery planet ruled by a brutal mercenary group using ancient technologies to make lethal weapons. Explore the globe with your grappling hook, hoverboard, and unlocking abilities or complete the main objective to demolish their activities.

Echo Point Nova, like Severed Steel, supports DLSS Super Resolution from the start. Ray-traced shadows and reflections enhance graphics for the best experience.

GreedFall II

GreedFall II: The Dying with DLSS Super Resolution

Nacon & Spiders’ GreedFall II: The Dying World offers a richer RPG experience. You must reclaim your freedom and destiny after being exiled to Gacane. You must use diplomacy, ingenuity, battle, and alliances to stop one man’s takeover, which might destroy the continent and your island.

DLSS Super Resolution will boost frame rates for GeForce RTX players when Greedfall II: The Dying World enters Early Access today.

Satisfactory

Satisfactory Exits Early Access, DLSS Super Resolution, DLAA Supported

Coffee Stain Studios’ highly regarded Satisfactory leaves Early Access after five years. This first-person open-world single-player and co-op industrial construction game has you exploring an alien planet you crash-landed on and creating vast factories, outposts, automated systems, and trains to survive.

Following an update to Unreal Engine 5, Satisfactory included support for DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA, which increased frame rates by 71% at 4K with top settings.

If frame rates are fast enough for your rendering resolution, try DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing option that uses DLSS technology. DLAA optimizes picture quality above performance for a better experience. Select “No Downscaling” on the “Upscaling Preset” option when “NVIDIA DLSS” is chosen as the “Upscaling Method” to enable DLAA in Satisfactory.

Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns Max Out With DLSS Super Resolution

To create a peaceful New Era, Liu Kang rebooted history. Mileena, Kitana’s twin sister and Outworld’s heir, has contracted a deadly sickness. Lin Kuei brothers Scorpion and Sub-Zero struggle for clan survival, while Earthrealm champions Raiden and Kung Lao fight for family and respect. Johnny Cage struggles for his vanity to remain relevant with fans. Fight through Mortal Kombat 1’s new Universe, introducing a new combat system, game modes, and dramatic deaths.

Since Mortal Kombat 1, DLSS Super Resolution has helped GeForce RTX players attain 60 fps with all settings. Khaos Reigns, a new Mortal Kombat expansion, improves bouts.

Khaos Reigns follows the story of a frightening menace from an alternative timeline headed by the savage Titan Havik. Fire God Liu Kang must unite his warriors and trust his adversaries to face this threat before his New Era of peace turns into khaos for the realms.

In Kombat Pack 2, Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, and numerous licensed guest fighters joined the lineup. Animalities, the fan-favorite finishing techniques that let all playable characters become their spirit animal to destroy opponents, are returned! All Mortal Kombat 1 players may download Towers of Time, a mode featuring rotating challenges and in-game events, as free DLC.
