Trouble in Digital Foundry land - Big Johnny boy not happy over DLSS 5 video

John "Per Object Motion Blur" Linnerman & Alex "ray traced" Bugagga vs. Richard "Bespoke Exclamation Mark" Leadbetter & Oliver "Cromulent" Mckenzie.

This motherfucker has Crimson Desert, he was praising it's combat today or yesterday.

Crying and having anxiety attacks because some randoms are laughing at DF/NVidia and making memes, or some ratkids insulting in social media when he could close that site and go play Pearl Abyss' game is next level.

It's so modern era actually
 
I mean, Olivier is in Canada and Richard in UK, flying two of them to GTC was expensive enough.

Alex and John are both in Germany?

He is so cringe. And implying a backstab from his peers is deeply unprofessional.

It shows how hysterical the AI boogieman is in gaming. I think that's the reason he feels so strongly. His company was seen all day as being Pro generative AI.

They're a tech-focused media outlet. Of course they would be deeply interested and excited for new technologies that enhance games. Anyone expecting otherwise just never understood what Digital Foundry actually is.

You can say that for anyone who works in gaming. Which makes the coming showdown all the more interesting. He freaked out because he thought he was in trouble for breaking the new forbidden rule.

He sounds like such a bitch. The only thing that would make this funnier to me is if the other guys got paid by Nvidia and he didn't then they made the video behind his back.
 
I dont give a single shit. Today we achieved photorealistic graphics.Shit my graphic whoring ass has been dreaming about since i was 10.

Yall can complain about this trivial nonsense while I jerk off to Phantom Blade Zero Path Traced with DLSS5 running at 20fps.
 
Dude I get not liking ugly looking AI filtered shit, not agreeing with you coworkers about endorsing it and whatever, but jeez do you really have to act like such a cringey, big baby drama queen retard?

Just watched this and as per usual I seem to be completely out of touch with the perpetually online twitter mob, the two lads are simply giving their opinions on a first look at some new tech from Nvidia, sure it comes off as a bit cringe and they're probably recovering from some serious partying the night before, fuck knows I would be suffering from the jetlag and free booze.. people need to get a life, they wanted to pop out a video, get some views and you know make money cause that's how they all get fucking paid and when the tech becomes available for them to properly test inhouse I'm sure they'll give it a proper deep dive, warts and all..

Fuck me John Lineman comes off as a right wee froot some times
 
Man, this reaction is exactly why caring so much about randoms on the internet liking you is stupid, along with paying any mind to guilt by association.

Dude flips out anytime there is pushback to their videos, especially from the resetera/blue-sky types.

The pushback is also silly, it's fine for them to be excited about a new technology that pushes visual fidelity, because that's what their entire channel is themed around.
 
So is DF not allowed to cover new rendering tech because they need to take some "moral" AI stand on behalf of some vidiot dorks on x? Should they just crowdfund instead of doing sponsored content? I don't understand any of this honestly. John should just ignore this crap, he seems like a cool dude but is way to sensitive and caring of what some dorks on the internet think.

Bad timing as I think John was supposed to do further console coverage of Crimson Desert. One of the other guys is doing the PC version though.
 
What an absolute idiot. Likely sacked after such a public outburst as if they wouldn't take the opportunity they are independent FFS.

Grow up, this shit pays his mortgage and he's up here grand standing again genuinely impressive use of AI.
 
I always respected John unparalleled passion and appreciation for videogames in all of their facets, so of course this reaction is expected. I would image even Alex position has to be similar, despite the kind of Nvidia coverage we usually get from him. Disappointed by the posts in this Thread.
