There is a free (GPLv2) Background removal tool that do not rely on a specific GPU and works as an OBS plugin on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Unlike NVIDIA Broadcast, it can remove backgrounds from anything, including still images of objects! And it is way more flexible even when separating people.

Finally: #PlayStation is going to show the PS5 Pro — a way higher performance is expected with possible usage of unannounced new Radeon architecture.
With all my love for hardware, the biggest issue of modern consoles isn't about performance, but lack of games.

Apple iPhone 16 is gonna be shown today. Last year #Apple tried to make "iPhone for games", sponsored AAA ports, and the idea failed. Will there be any game-related news this time? Will see in a few minutes!

Yet again #ArtDirection wins over "realism" and "good graphics": the game looks dated and it looks AWESOME! Meanwhile SW Outlaws has exceptional RTGI and it looks forgettable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEF52lOzNXo
Nature is healing: despite all the heresy, the brutal Space Marine II is doing great and growing even bigger after early access!

The Crew 2 is 98% off on #Steam. The game isn't too serious or realistic and instead focused on variety and sandbox experience. The only modern game where you can really race for over an hour or freeride through the entire United States. It has airplanes, boats, destruction derby, stadium racing events, and more.
Also, how can they keep selling it anyway after they shut down the original Crew? I mean: a great offer and you still better be not buying it.

They promised offline access to The Crew 2 and the Motorfest "in the next few months".

I know, you like #GlobalIllumination and all the abbreviations it caused: RTGI, SDFGI, or HDDAGI, but here is yet another one on Radiance Cascades:

Remember the insane idea by #Unity, called "Runtime Fee"?
It was announced last Autumn that developers will have to PAY PER INSTALL OF THE GAME. And since developers are not EARNING PER INSTALL, it caused loss of about 30% of their customers. Then they fired John Riccitiello, made "improved runtime fee", and finally, a year later, it's failed miserably. Even more clients left, and they are giving up on it.
Instead, they raised prices:
— Pro: 8% raise, $2200 USD/annually
— Enterprise: 25% increase

Did you know, that you can run games in 4K even if your screen can't? On NVIDIA the feature is called DSR and it's available in Nvidia Control Panel (3D settings).
When 2.25x scale is enabled, games will be able to run in 4K and then be downscaled into native 1440P or 1080P. It clears all aliasing from the image (both geometry and materials), but requires a lot of compute power to run (since it's literally running in 4K). Which makes it perfect for older games.
Also, AC Syndicate looks insanely good in 2024. And it's not blurry even with native resolution. Not sure how they managed to make it 8 years ago.

Still one of my favorite #GodotEngine plugins: Little Camera Preview! It works well with Godot 4.3 (despite only marked for 4.2)

It's a nice device to play indie games and old projects on the go or on the couch. I have been using similar devices since 2017 and perfect as a companion gadget (when you have a good gaming PC and want to be mobile from time to time).

It seems that Annapurna Interactive has literally become an empty shell:
The publisher of Stray, Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, and dozens of other games was under pressure from the main Annapurna (that also makes movies) and all the crew left. The owner of the whole thing was forcing the game division to fully integrate into the movie making wing, while they wanted to be independent.
🤔 Oddly enough, the issue will not affect the deal with the Remedy and Control 2 release since this game was already operated from within the Annapurna Pictures division.

Here are some of my shots from The Crew 2, that is still one sale (-98%) and they promised to make it offline. I'm level 1024 in the game and have hundreds of vehicles!
