Looks like Google Chrome and Firefox Internet browsers have now made support for the long-tested image format JPEG XL official. Apparently, JPEG XL is way better than the king of all image formats, tried and true JPEG format, but better than even WEBP and AVIP. Keep an eye on this.

Whoa!!! It's been a while, old friend. Some of y'all had Metal Gear Solid while some of us had Thief.

Holy moly! This is how you can tell Nintendo has totally separate teams working on these franchises. Look at how much soul and character these new 3D locked camera 2D side scroller Metroid games have. Compared to the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake which just looks highly detailed now but feels a little fan-made and generic, soulless even.

Wow. Nvidia DLSS 5 AI enhancing technology is impressive, huh? It's basically the same AI tech used to enhance photos, but they apply it to every polygon per frame rendered, that's why you need a very very powerful computer to play these video games that support DLSS 5. Technically, if you're smart and cheap, you can use this "free" software to enhance your photos and videos too. For FREE. What's cool is it seems to fix the lighting to match the environment too, which goes against the game developer's artistic decisions, but what the hey.

You get very good hair detail, better lighting, better skin detail, better gloss effect (things look like proper wetness, not just all looking like metal or glass), overall more realistic sharpness, etc. DLSS 5 and AI enhancement tech is only good if you want to make it look as hyper-real as possible. If you modeled the 3D characters to look non-human, it's not going to make it any more "human", even though the AI is "smart" enough to make things look good like buildings, trees, stone, and other non-human materials.

Amazing! As always. But still so lame. Clunky, cheap looking. But they seem to really understand consumerism. Really looking like they want to create these advanced "action figures" for consumption and people might actually want them if the Chinese can figure it all out. Right now, they're doing way too much. These things don't ever have to look humanoid. Robots just need to do what they're sole purpose is, so they don't have to look human-friendly. My prediction is this is just a trend and will probably die out in the next decade. Virtual Boy all over again.

LOLOL. Didn't know Chinese had a mean streak even for their own compatriots. Usually they overexploit AI tech and all their CGI slopfest is just ancient warriors fighting CGI dragons and beasts. But this movie made almost USD$2 MILLION as of this posting, their experts projecting possible USD$9 MILLION in total. Holy crap! Too bad the Chinese government steals most of those profits. SMDH

I coulda told y'all this. Just basic observation, notice Windows uses approx double the RAM as Linux. I can assume has something to do with dual-channel RAM usage, which would make sense why the operating system can run faster and smoother because you can access the same data from two different places if one access point is busy. Linux is known for being clunky for gaming maybe because it's too rigid in its design, they want to be too robotic and don't think about the human experience. But I like the idea behind the Linux software movement though. Free for user to tinker with. In general, computers serve us, we don't serve them though. Remember this.
