I have this idea of making a game about fighting computer viruses, and the difficulty settings are Linux and Windows, and then the Linux difficulty doesn't have any enemies 😁

I don't want to simply say that I liked or didn't like a game, because I don't feel that is truly helpful.

It *is*. In reality, comments like "great game" and "it sucked" don't get shown as top reviews, but the 👍 or 👎 you give counts, as well as the fact that people have actually voted.

If you see a game with 50000 reviews at 98% 👍, that's a well made game. If people didn't review because they don't have something comprehensive to write, that same game would get 30 reviews, and the 👍 rate would give you no statistically significant information.

So please, leave a simple review just to give the valuable positive/negative binary feedback.

Factorio Space Age for the last two months... It's really nice, but man it's so much work, lol

Also playing Valheim with my wife. We're about to enter Mistland, so in "preparation" we're spending a few weeks building a fancy house.

I have never and will never use any form of frame generation or upscaling

This is annoying and weird, but it seems it's impossible not to use upscaling now in one way or another because in modern games all of the old antialiasing methods have been removed and unless you enable something like FSR (even if you render at 100% resolution) you're going to get pixellated garbage on the screen, especially in complicated parts of the image like foliage and hair

MSAA is gone because it's very expensive (on desktop GPUs). FXAA is gone because it's just bad. They got replaced by TAA (maybe something even newer by now?). But TAA is complex, it could be the game you are thinking of had an incomplete implementation.

I have bad news for you. Every frame is generated, everything you see in games is fake and an approximations of reality (at best). Ad hoc upscaling has existed for a long time, and so has interpolation of low-frequency operations between frames.

The line between FSR and whatever game devs do or did before it existed is very blurry.

They fixed Metro Exodus EE once before. Then broke it. Now they re-fixed it. But I am certain they will break it again.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're working around a game bug. That sort of thing is easy to break because the game bug can manifest in different ways as you make changes to the driver.

This is a nice game, my kid loved playing it with me (more like watch me play) when he was 6 years old
