It didn’t even look like Simon’s work to me. The Electric State as painted is very banal. “Sure robots and megastructures exist alongside us but I still have to go to work, or farm, or play in the fields as a kid, and so do some robots.”

Would love to see more of the developer providing good information for those laid off so other companies can more easily ingest possible hires.

I mean, if you look back to the framing of the constitution, the idea was that a bunch of citizen militias would be kept such that if the country needed defense, they would be able to respond. This was because the new United States lacked (and politically opposed) standing armies like the one which they just fought off the continent.

Since then, the United States acquired an Army, Navy, and Air Force alongside numerous National Guard units. The theoretical need for citizen militias vanished.

The real answer to your question is that we really don’t have citizens participating in “well-regulated militias.” Not from the constitutional context, anyway.

Looking alright. It’s a Pokémon game so I know what I’m getting into but it looks fun.

I’m a game developer and I will 100% confirm that studios have already started and will continue assuming the user has DLSS/FSR/XeSS enabled because it turns out rendering half as many pixels can get you across the finish line.

It was already fairly standard practice to try as hard as you can for performance, and when that fails to bring you good performance at native resolution, just cut some resolution (for example, to 900p from 1080p).

However, I do want to add that DLSS/FSR/XeSS is great technology for the low end of the market who can’t afford insane rigs but do get to have a slightly sharper image than previous upscalers could accomplish.
