  • the problem imo is that it’s advertised absolutely incorrectly. they make it sound like the tech makes the game run faster. it doesn’t. it leverages the free resources due to the cpu bottleneck in order to interpolate frames, like those 2010’s tvs with their “9000hz motion” interpolation. it’s okay for smoothing out jerky frame movement in solo third person rpgs and stuff like that, but absolutely disgusting and unusable for first person shooters. yet, following the gaming subs on reddit, people are gushing over it like it’s free real performance increases out of thin air.



















  • not a movie, but a video game.
    call of duty black ops 3. (no spoilers, in case anyone is still to play it.)

    during my playthrough i was like:

    • start the game
    • the flashing text before the mission is way too fast to read. let’s record it and play it slowly. huh…intersting.
    • this is weird… why is this exactly THAT way that it has never been done before and doesn’t make sense to do that way in general?
    • this is weird… why do they mention THIS exactly? is that a mcguffin/chekhov’s gun?
    • this is weird… funny that they display this character how they handle their specific, unusual situation…
    • this is weird… the story starts to become awkwardly surrealistic…
    • reach the finale… i know there’s more to it but i took so long to finish the game that i forgot all the clues, so i don’t QUITE understand the meaning
    • insert some hours of googling/yt explanations, and there’s the big “OOOOOOOH! that’s a brilliant display of what’s happening to the main character and how it’s described in real life!”-moment.
    • realization that everyone hates it either because they didnt understand what happened and think it’s the most random thing ever or because they understood what happened and think it’s lame. sadge.
