DLSS 5 OFF // DLSS 5 ON

Ew ew ew ew ew ew this is so gross. Not that that’s a huge surprise from Nvidia anymore. You can tell they knew it would be hated because this isn’t what DLSS has ever been about. They didn’t make it a separately named feature because people would avoid it like the plague.

Wikigacha.com is turning out to be great fun.

There few events or studios, and without remote roles I may not be in games at all as I can’t leave Cornwall at the moment, nor do I want to, I love it here! ❤️ I’m one of the rare lucky ones to get into this biz, not due to lack of skill or talent of others, and it’s so sad to see them stuck. 4/4

I appreciate organisations like Into Games helping inner city folk to break into the industry, but while I may be biased being from Cornwall, getting into the industry from underfunded rural areas (where many people are working class) is extremely hard. Even with a games uni on my doorstep. 3/4

Another major problem is the availability of jobs and the lengths you need to go to get a job in the UK. It’s still crazy to me that people can be expected to move across the country and away from their loved ones for roles that could be done just as well remotely. It’s all done on PCs anyway! 2/4

Does the UK video games industry have a class problem? A non-profit organisation is trying to create more pathways into the sector for working-class people.

The same could be said for adjacent industries too but yes. Getting into games is very expensive monetarily (uni, other courses, events, travel, PC to make the games on etc) and time-wise as learning game dev can take a while and games can take a while to make! 🧵1/4
