No I'm just adjusting contrast and exposure in the game's photo mode. I'm not even running raytracing in those shots, since anything past 4K the RT tanks the game bad (in this gen at least) I'm liking imgur so far, but it's limitation is that screenshots must be under 5mb to get the full resolution, otherwise it shrinks the shots down to just 5K.

woot now imgur allowing 16K (with a bit of compression), I remember when this resolution used to crash browsers

Yeah I recently got the Gigabyte FO48U and it's been cool so far; 4K 120hz, OLED, HDR, Gsync, acts like a gaming monitor (and not a Smart TV). Colors and brightness really pop. Infinity blacks. I guess only need to watch out for that screen burn-in that OLED is famous for

When I upgraded from last-gen (PS4 Pro + XBONEX) to PS5 + XB Series X, the differences in visuals were not clear to me as well, and this is on a Samsung 85" QLED. Granted those old consoles were already running most games in 1440p, so bumping that to 4K only gets a bit of improvement. What stood out to me more is the higher framerates and faster loading. I've been underwhelmed with the Series X raytracing implementation in games so far (Watchdogs and Cyberpunk /w Xbox RT is pretty bad actually). However on PS5 there's Ratchet and Clank and Horizon Forbidden West (and sometimes Gran Turismo 7) which have been a good showcase on what raytracing can do; especially when it's baked into the look of the game from the start, and not an afterthought. Ratchet is probably the only game not possible on last-gen, due to the way it uses the PS5 NVME drive to insta-load complex levels on top of levels

Was going to just blow the upgrade budget on a 3090ti but figured that my 8700K would bottleneck any large gpu upgrade, so I got the alderlake and built a whole new box and got 3080ti to hold me over, then I can go all out on the 4xxx series when that arrives. Upgrading from the 8700K was a good idea as the 12900K absolutely slaps (wish I held out a little longer for the KS version, oh well). 3080ti is still good too, I can finally play most vr games on the 8KX at full resolution. It's only 10% less powerful than a 3090ti and 60% less cost

16K images possible in a browser yet? Hmm colors seem off

Yeah I had to build a new PC for this, as it was a bit choppy on my last-gen hardware (8700k, 2080ti). I'm currently playing it on the Pimax 8KX VR so I got the 12900k and 3080ti to run it well at 6K ultrawide FOV @72fps. Going to take another generation or so for cyberpunk to be smooth at full 8K VR

Been playing Cyberpunk with the VR mod, and it's like you're living in the game. The mod dev also added bonuses like bullet time

Finished Elden Ring I'm now a LVL 250 Tarnished Now replaying an old favorite, F.E.A.R. 1. Currently getting 1500-2000 FPS. It's crazy how the game effects and physics break when your framerate is too high. Smoke and fire won't animate and you float forward like a ghost

Started Horizon Forbidden West. Best looking game right now. Also replaying Cyberpunk with the new patch

PS5 haptic vibrations are pretty crazy, letting you feel wind, rain, and grass. Also the triggers simulate recoil and resistance when you fire guns and arrows

Yeah I got mine yesterday. I’m really liking the screen so far, it’s a bigger upgrade than I thought it would be. Just wish it got a gpu upgrade

Just get the Quest 2

Hope you all enjoying your oled Switch! Mine is still held up on a freight boat in the LA Harbor…

My only recourse is that it is money I had no problem losing. Last August I had $3000 invested in a project and I watched its value dwindle to $1000. I saw another project (Saitama) that was about to take off as all the signs looked good (doxxed developers, big list of upcoming milestones, and great community). I moved that remaining $1000 (as well as some money from other tokens I recently sold) over to the other project and it 10x in September, making back my losses and way more. So yes you can easily lose money, but also easily gain it back if you time your moves right

Yeah pretty much ghost recon, assassins creed, watch dogs, and far cry are all the same games. The bad guy from los pollos hermanos is cool though

Battlefield 2042 beta, Far Cry 6, and Hell Let Loose. Some MS Flight Simulator as well Will probably be rocking out the OLED Switch when it arrives this week though, probably playing Zelda, Mario and Metroid

Depends on what crypto you go for tbh, yes plenty of scams but also plenty of diamonds if you do the research. Trading a token called Saitama made me $30K last month, and that token is still only getting started. With stocks if you make %15 returns in a year, it's considered a success. But in crypto you can get %100+ returns in an hour, and possibly %1000 in a good week However the philosophy remains "only invest what you can afford to lose"

Yeah the running theme right now for these new gen consoles is "your old games but in 60-120fps, fast loading, and raytraced shadows!" and I'm like bruh those shadows look no different to me

Should be getting my Switch OLED this week. It will sit nicely next to my PS5 and Xbox Series X. Too bad still no 4K output on the switch

I got like 5 PCs but could only officially install windows 11 on 2 of them (the newer ones). I mean Intel 6700K and 7700K are not bad cpus, wonder why they are unsupported

Been making massive amounts of money on cryptocurrencies. Anyone else buying into this stuff? It's been my new hobby this year
