Fuck off Nvidia.

Man, I was like why are 12 year olds voting?
Yeah, it's a shame they abandoned TF2. VAC is my preferred AC though, they were ahead of the curve with ML detection, now ML has blown up in a major way, that is what we should focusing on for AC, not borderline malware.
Honestly, he probably had no idea who he was, got told some prolific person (who?) was endorsing him by his campaign managers and just went with female pronouns from the name 'Nicky' and called them hot to hype them up in some fucked up way?
Because he doesn't give a shit about anyone, he isn't going to put a second to learn about them.
Yeah, I'm not too familiar with US fair use, seems fair use if they weren't profiting from it, but it's harmless really as long as they don't mass sell prints I guess?
It's nerf so it's gotta be orange right aha, as least it isn't blue and orange!
Yeah, "kernel level anticheat" has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it's better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.
Oh right yeah, extra confusing in the way I worded that too.
A guy called Josh commissioned the original art, I don't know if he was a Bungie employee or not. I was just interested in peoples view of this dynamic. An artist takes money to draw/copy copyright material and then is immediately upset when someone is taking money for their work too. I know it's not apples to apples, one being a corporation and one being an individual. I was just unsure on where the line is drawn on this kind of stuff as I don't spend much time in the art communities.
No, the nerf gun is sold by Bungie in collaboration with Hasbro. Whoever did the art for the nerf gun, whether in house or contracted, looked online and just stole the artists', Tofu's, work. Bungie are compensating them for it, so its a non issue now, but its just another case of art being stolen for official products.
I mean there's clearly some little bits that are the same, but they can't claim that much as they want because the weapon looks like that anyway.
How does it work when you get paid for deriving from a copyright piece of material in the first place?
The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn't needed or requested.

Pros, more fps on low end hardware.
Cons, worse image, ghosting, blur, artifacting, lower overall performance because devs rely on upscaling.
It's existence is a crutch. Games should be made properly and not rely on ML upscaling for meaningful performance.
Hardware is insanely powerful at the moment, the problem is time isnt spent making the most out of it anymore, which then increases demand for more powerful hardware (that we dont need). The sales loop for Nvidia, except now they want to sell you ML optimised cards, which cost more.
