!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

That’s exactly why. Diminishing returns means exponentially more processing power for minimal visual improvement.

I think my real question is what point do we stop trying until researchers make another breakthrough?

Researchers can't make a breakthrough if they don't try ^^

AAA game designers don't need to be the researchers.

That's what game engines are for

Great, let the game engine people go wild. We don't need to try and build the next Far Cry with all of their beta tech though.
