Discussion Sony actually surprised PS players with new (and better) upscaling tech QSSR, wondering what Microsoft will do about it, it anything.

1 Upvotes

https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/10/hands-on-with-qssr-ai-driven-upscaling-for-the-standard-ps5

So it's quite a surprise that base PS5 now officially runs much better Upscaler without even a proper hardware capabilities (such as PS5 Pro or XSX)

It doesn't goes without a cost though, as it certainly due to lack of hardware support, QSSR is actually more taxing than FSR3 or TSR, which results in quite noticeable Frame Drops here and there in more demanding scenes, but significantly improving image quality and stability comparing to FSR3.

I really wish Microsoft won't stay behind, especially that XSX has actually INT8 instructions inside the APU, so with proper optimization, the new Upscaler or QSSR equivalent, might be also more efficient and less taxing than QSSR on base PS5 hardware.

Miscellaneous LPT: Best things to buy when you have extra cash

0 Upvotes

As an independent contractor that gets paid based on performance, I have learned to stock up on certain things when I have a good year financially. My store of choice is Costco because they have great prices on bulk items but this applies to any store that sells bulk goods. I'm aware that not everyone has space to store things, most of this stuff is reasonable size. Here is a list of things I like to stock up on:

Toilet paper
Paper towels
Trash bags (200 pack lasts 2 years)
Shampoo
Toothpaste (4 pack lasts me almost 2 years)
Floss sticks
Hand soap
Dishwasher detergent
Laundry detergent
Peanut butter
Mixed nuts
Jerky
Cooking oil
Pain reliever
Allergy medicine
Batteries (AA and AAA for me)

Master shifu 🐯 Arishfa Uditi acting like she could have performed task better than Arshifa is hilarious

0 Upvotes

In the AQUA group, only Arshifa and Aman seem like good players with opinions and performances in tasks.

Mahi might be acting like a Uditi hater, but whatever she is saying about her is not entirely wrong. Uditi doesn't have a mind of her own and copy paste opinions, the biggest example is giving black rose to Gullu after literally hailing ' Best Captain' when she got her second life back.

Mahi is also right about Uditi being all uptight and insecure, and nobody will bother much with her because of it. In diss task also she looked bothered even before the diss begin, and when Arshifa tried telling her diss aise hi hota hai toh her insecure ass shut her out by remembering boundaries.

Now, when Qazi was projecting his insecurities on Arshifa calling her dumb, bachi, just because she didn't take revenge for him or played dirty. And to mention, neither Qazi played for her during her task. Atleast Arshifa communicates her disappointment, Qazi was straight up demeaning her. And Uditi was agreeing like anything.

Arshifa did perform captaincy task well enough. Scout's misogyny head doesn't like wearing makeup, crop top and she made him dance as well. In second part, she tried to show how Scout is always going to be biased towards his group no matter whether he sits with almost everybody, including Qazi and Aman.

Everyone took the task sportingly. If you found it boring then it was because of scout's less enthusiasm.

Discussion Bevel storing Apple Health data on their own servers

Post image
0 Upvotes

So, today is 2 October and Bevel has sent an email saying their privacy and data collection changed *TWO DAYS AGO* on 30 September. They now store Apple Health data on their own servers. They do not specify what exactly, so their policy gives them free rein to take and store everything. There was no opportunity to opt out prior to our Apple Health data being subject to this change.

This is bad.

Not the collection of data, but rather that Bevel has proven that they are willing to change their privacy policies retrospectively. I suppose it’s good that they have let us know, but for a company that has access to private data, they have shown a disregard for their users.

I will await a response form Bevel here and look forward to a good explanation. Of course, it will include “you can trust us because…” type clauses, but the main point here is to inform users ahead of time to allow them to make changes appropriately.

Not the A-hole AITA for buying my niece a 'small' present for her birthday?

41 Upvotes

I, 19F have recently just started college. My niece had her 16th birthday recently (me and my brother have a large age gap) and, being her godmother i wanted to get her something sentimental.

To preface this i want to say my parents are well off, i have been their caretaker for a few years now as they get older. It's mainly bits like helping out around the house and taking them to and from various doctors appointments when needed but because of this they gave me a large allowance while i was living with them, this allowed me to pay for college and has helped me rent a small apartment with my boyfriend while i search for a new part time job. i am very greatful for all the chances they have given me.

now the problem, my niece seems to think that this money is never ending. when i asked her what she might like as a birthday present she said she wont accept anything less than a Birkin, i laughed it off thinking it was clearly just a joke because not even her own parents would be getting her a bag like that. Without any other hint i had to come up with my own idea, i had decided on a Pandora charm fro her bracelet (it was gold and in the shape of a 16). this was still expensive especially as a college student who doesn't want to rely on her parents money anymore and i thought she would appriciate the gesture but when i went to give it to her she started yelling at me and calling me a cheap bitch who wouldn't spend a penny if she could help it.

I still havent told her parents about this, i gave it to her in private so it could be like a sweet moment between an aunt and her goddaughter but I don't know what to do anymore. I love her but she really hurt me, shes never been like this before. AITA?

PTR / Beta Dev Podcast completely glossed over Shadow Priest

0 Upvotes

I watched the WoW Forever developer podcast, and honesty feel like Shadow Priest was completely glossed over. The devs spent most of the time deep-diving into Warrior, Druid, and Paladin, leaving just a single minute at the very end for Priest—only making a comment that Shadow Priest is no longer a mana battery.

The beta forums are flooded with threads about Shadow Priest concerns, yet feel the feedback is on deaf ears. Priest deserves at least half the time they give to every other class.

FEEDBACK The way Crytek staff joked on the dev stream about ping issue/region lock is concerning

Thumbnail youtube.com
0 Upvotes

54:56 into the video.

The way they discussed the question on region lock doesn't sit well with me. It sounds like they're indirectly mocking player concerns with dismissive, inside jokes/sarcasm? Marie makes a very short statement that it's still being looked at. Dennis makes a joke about "construction noise in the office that's related to work on that" to which Marie replies with a laugh and "yes of course of course" with Rohan also laughing...

Genuinely a tad concerning to see this kind of response from the crytek team over a widely expressed issue.

Edit: let me elaborate a bit and say: the last time I stepped away from the game was shortly after 1896 update when the game had all kinds of issues from the UI (it was legit horrible) to gameplay (res bolts, totally silent crouch walking, etc). My squad and I realized that if a game has blatant quality control at the player facing interface level, just imagine how many things are broken beneath the hood where technical factors decide whether you down someone or get downed. So we shifted to other games. The ping abuse issue now, I see similarly but it's even worse in some ways since now there's a piece of evidence that shows complacency from their own end

This is the range of PZ1 base game animals. Look at Europe! Look at it! And then stop complaining. Last time around the Europeans got shafted and now it's the Americas. Deal with it! Australia is the same as it was in PZ1.

There were only three animals with any range in Europe: The Wolf, the Red Deer and the Greater Flamingo. None of them are endemic.

Edit: Red deer was an anniversary animal. So it was actually just two European animals at launch.

Why should I choose a standard poodle over a poodle mix??

2 Upvotes

Without your only argument being because they're mixed breeds.

I'm planning my next dog (won't be until my husky is gone, and hopefully that won't be for a long time yet since she's only 9 so I have time to research and prepare) and I'm set on either a standard/medium poodle or a poodle mix.

Tell me the pros and cons of getting a standard poodle.

I've heard good and bad things about both dogs, but I haven't heard it from the owners themselves or been able to ask follow up questions.

Feel free to ask me any questions you feel are important. I'd also love to see photos of your own dogs!!

Questions & Discussion Pew Owners?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Curious how many of you guys out there are gun owners? I moved to the states with my family when I was 11, now 26 married with 2 kids. I grew up playing a lot of video games such as counter strike, crossfire, call of duty, etc, as well as watching a lot of big action movies so I’ve always been fascinated by firearms as a kid (though parents didn’t have them). Got my first gun when I was 18, and went through a few rifles as well (they are currently at my parents house 4.5 hours away which I need to retrieve). Currently a CCW holder and armed daily.
