Twenty years later, Half-Life 2 is a top tech demo again.

On March 18th, Nvidia will release a two-hour demo for Half-Life 2 owners, showing what its RTX 50 cards can do: full ray tracing, subsurface scattering for translucent skin, volumetric light through fog and smoke, physically-based materials, and Nvidia’s new neural shaders — which are also coming to DirectX for other developers in April.

Half-Life 2 RTX Remix isn’t for weak rigs. Even an RTX 5090 / Ryzen 9800X3D system might get under 30fps at 4K before applying DLSS 4. With it, Nvidia suggests an RTX 5070 might be enough for a 1440p tour.

No it's not.

Public instances are struggling but private instances work perfectly.

(You can and should still use PeerTube though)

200% tariffs on EU alcohol? :flan_laugh:

Dictator #Trump never learns..

@EUCommission how about a ban on US alcohol?

in reply to stux⚡

Jesus this arsehole is relentless. He’s like a dog with a bone. He’s so incredibly stupid that everyday is exhausting with him.

He adopted this idea from Turkey, where, for a similar reason, decent alcohol almost absent (well, this is also a sin, of course).

The answer to this question is simple. Religion is founded on a falsehood. And since a false premise implies any conclusion, religions will be all over the map with respect to just about every issue.
