Just watched Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back with my kid. Her face when she found out that Vader was Luke's father was priceless. She kept asking me if he's trying to outwit Luke.

There's a reason why I stopped posting pictures a while ago, hell I kind of stoped taking pictures all together. After 10 years in IT I realized that I no longer want to work in the field due to its direction, so I went back to school. I'm studying to get an electrical engineering degree. >>

My first year is almost done and I couldn't be more excited about my prospects. It's really weird being a 34 year old student, and it's harder due to time constraints (I also work and have a family), but it's more manageable than I thought.

So I received a security camera from my mum. Nothing to fancy, but it's usable at my house untill I'm able too afford something better. I inspected it and I saw it has an SD card slot. I thought about getting one for it, but let me tell you, I couldn't find one available. 1/?

My brother in Christ! Wtf is happening? Generic SDcards were like the toilet paper of the industry, you could find them discarded in the street. Now I can't find one to save my life. Fuck this shit, AI is not worth this inconvenience.

I started playing Titanfall 2 lately, I'm going though the campaign and, as I do with all games, I monitor my performance to see how well it runs on my machine. It's running at about 100+ fps, I was expecting at least a 200, I have a decent machine. 1/2

2/2 Then it hit me. The damn thing doesn't have FSR/DLSS type upscaling. I got so used to using this tech in newer games that it just didn't dawn at me how demanding or unoptimized some older games are.

Started playing Disco Elysium. Why did I put it off for so long? The dialog options with the self and with the world around you is next level. Holly shit!

Wtf is this shit? Probably the worst example of DLSS 5. If you look on Nvidia's site you can see how some characters look younger and different but this just makes her look like I just asked AI to generate a pic of how my mum would look like when she's 120.

I think these youtube channels are reviewing CPU's wrong. It's not about FPS, it's about how fast it can compile shaders so you can get back to your game or how it can handle shader compilation stutters.

Whrn traveling by train, I love shooting old buildings or just the randomness of a train station. Here are a couple of shots from my latest trip.

So I'm playing COE33. I find a mime and kick his ass after a few tries. All good. I walk a bit more and I find and Octopus boss, he goes down as well after a few tries. But this guy... Aggghhh!!!

I've been playing some Clair Obscur Expédition 33 and I reached a room where I got the third character. I was playing around with the settings for some reason and I noticed that DLSS removes some particle effects. These are present with TSR.

Reviews are out! Called it!

Prediction: The RTX 5070 is about 10% faster than the 4070 super in games without DLSS4 and in no way does it compare to the 4090 in raster or even AI for that matter due to the 12GB of VRAM.

If you're doing a fresh windows 11 install, do yourself a favor and bypass the Microsoft account requriement. I broke my sistem recently while OC-ing my GPU and I needed to fix it from safe mode. Apparently, safemode doesn't let you log in using your pin. Fortunately I had a seperate admin created.

Self-portrait. I realy liked the geometry from the plafrom and how the mirror on the ceiling framed the shot. Might redo it at one point with my eyes open.
