My wife is away, so I'm officially watching bad™ tv.

Actually better than I expected, but budget really showing itself in the admittedly few VFX shots.

Happy third anniversary, Elden Ring! And here is the illustration I created to commemorate that! I actually just finished the base game, and I have plenty of ideas I would like to explore for future illustrations, but I hope you will like this one!

And don't get me wrong, I love my new monitor. It's a huge upgrade over what I had before, but it *is* cheap and has some pretty obvious drawbacks. Luckily they're drawbacks that I'm getting accustomed to and my brain is able to spin in a positive light.

Yeah these pixels are obviously fully inverting before transitioning to the correct color as this object moves through the scene, but it's one frame and it actually makes the object even easier to track as it happens only on the receding edge.

Anecdotally I haven't noticed it *as* much since switching to Linux, but I'm not sure if that's bad Windows monitor APIs or just my brain doing what brains do and correcting for visual anomalies. And since it's an artifact of the physical monitor and not the rendered image I'd have to film the monitor to detect it, and all my devices capable of that cap out at 60hz.

Very amused by how hard nVidia has fallen in the public perception with their 50 series line.

In essentially the same week they lost billions in stock valuation due to AI shakeups and almost recovered by announcing blistering performance gains over the previous generation, with a huge asterisk.

Now that folks have them in hand, they're only slightly better than the 40 series, the huge performance gains via ML features basically fizzle into irrelevance taken outside of very specific demos (and that is highly specific wording).

And the GPUs are catching on fire again.

I do like my ML upscaling and frame gen on my AMD card, but it's a feature best used in very limited contexts, and while it's conceptually interesting to watch a computer make 4K pixels from a 480p source. It's never going to be the same as the grunt to do the full render. I essentially use mine as a way to keep my cheap monitor from ghosting too much (as it likes to do at sub 100hz refreshes). The individual frames are too fast for me to see much detail from them, but are enough to maintain motion vector for me to track. Upping that to as many as 3 generated frames before I see another rendered one, I can only imagine.

emily's very smart but she's also very stupid
