may not have made the point well but i did have this in mind in the previous post, in the sense that at least a small studio was able to take some of the giant corp's money and add some positive aesthetic value back into the world with it

what archive are you looking at? i thought the (rickety, incomplete) Google Groups archive was all that remained, but it seems like the Internet Archive may have a more robust backup?

haven't started The Beast yet, but in DL1 i feel like i almost never engaged with volatiles even toward the end when i was way more powerful. kind of appreciated there being an enemy so awful to deal with that it forced an avoid-at-all-costs policy, maybe it's worse in the new one though

yeah, someone on the Discord tipped me off. the tooltip made it sound like going in the deep tar was instant death so i didn't even consider scanning it

good tip, fun gear is about 60% of why i'm still playing it
is it super obvious when that happens? i do read all the "posts" from the NPCs, don't remember anything that explicitly seemed like an activity though

others are the same, that's inherent to the way video compression works -- the intermediate frames aren't complete images, they're partials that get reconstructed during playback from diffs of before/after frames. so outside keyframes there's essentially nothing to cut on

yeah it being proprietary is the only coherent criticism i've seen of this. but i'd assume it'll trickle down to more general APIs/vendor implementations like most other new NV features? iirc everything about the first release of Quake II RTX was also proprietary before DXR and Vulkan RT came along
