    No ultrawide support, no DLSS, no removed fps cap, no precompiled shaders to remove the stutter, …

    From makes good games, but when it comes to technology they either suck or are just lazy as hell.

    The biggest joke is that ultrawide already renders the full screen width, they just put black bars on top to not give the player an advantage, lol.


  • Well, there’s modern C++ and it looks reasonable, so you start to think: This isn’t so bad, I can work with that.

    Then you join a company and you find out: They do have modern C++ code, but also half a million lines of older code that’s not in the same style. So there’s 5 different ways to do things and just getting a simple string suddenly has you casting classes and calling functions you have no clue about. And there’s a ton of different ways to shoot your foot off without warning.

    After going to C# I haven’t looked back.



  • At the end of the day, its pretty clear to me that Youtube is going to lose the war on adblocking.

    Lol, no, they aren’t. If they wanted to they could just throw everyone with an adblocker out. The only reason they aren’t doing this right now is not wanting to piss off their users (and some vague EU data privacy laws).

    The absolute best you could accomplish against them as a user is hiding the ad, but you’d still have to wait instead of being able to skip.

    Besides that: I thought about getting YouTube premium (+ music), but now they’re already jacking the prices further up. So I’ll just keep using uBlock Origin and if that no longer works cut back on my video watching time.
