!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Even without RTX scenery can look damn near real. But the moment there is a human in the scene, the uncanny valley fucks everything up. I don't even get it because animals can look perfect and not trigger the uncanny valley effect, but humans always do. RTX won't ever fix that.

I always thought that was just a me-thing. People will be like "Oh it looks so realistic", which a) I consider a bad thing, like I'm seeing reality plenty times already, why would I want more of that? But also b) no, it does not? Even the games with the biggest budgets continue to have NPCs that look as stiff as if they're three days dead. I'd say "with a puppeteer's hand up their rear" since they do move their mouths, but frankly, even puppets move around more than NPCs do.
