"Disgust" over Nvidia's DLSS 5 has the games industry on edge Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 technology drew the ire of the games industry, but the reasons run deeper than 'AI slop' imagery.

DLSS 5 has sent shockwaves through the games industry, so I asked several artists and developers what concerns them most about the technology.

Unsurprisingly, their ire is about far more than ‘AI slop’.

Okay, I just want to point out that if you have been considering an electric car, I would really consider doing that quickly because things do not look good re: oil availability and cost.

Used EVs are currently a screaming deal. I have a feeling this will not be the case for too much longer.

Reddit post titled "Australian “new” Nintendo Switch games aren’t factory sealed — confirmed by Nintendo"

Post content - I’m an Australian collector and recently contacted Nintendo Australia about something I’d noticed: brand new Nintendo Switch games sold here often don’t come factory shrink-wrapped, unlike the same titles in the US, Europe and Japan.

NSW Fair Trading followed up with Nintendo on my behalf, and Nintendo confirmed that games assembled locally are intentionally not shrink-wrapped. They consider it a commercial decision.

The cartridges are unused — so this isn’t about defects — but from a collecting standpoint it means Australian retail copies are visually indistinguishable from opened/pre-owned copies.

For collectors, factory sealing is usually part of condition grading, authenticity, and long-term value.

I’m curious how others here would view this:

Does “new” still mean new if it isn’t factory sealed?

Would you treat unsealed retail stock differently in your collection?

Does this affect how you’d value Australian copies vs overseas ones?

Happy to share the Fair Trading correspondence if anyone wants to see it.
