Hello! Apparently I hit the wrong reply button and replied to your comment instead of the image! Sorry about that! Wasn’t trying to imply your comment was shallow or anything, that was my bad!

I was trying to reply to the original image, which struck me as a shallow interpretation of Franklin’s quote about Liberty being sold out for security. It’s not generally wrong, but I saw a lot of Americans abuse it during the pandemic which was incredibly frustrating.

Sorry again, didn’t mean to imply your thoughtful addition was bad or anything!

So, obviously democracy is under attack in a myriad of ways, but this has big “I’m 14 and this is deep” energy.

Oh, this game’s gonna have a rough launch won’t it?

Maybe they didn’t choose the best comparison shots, but the technical details of what’s happening with this mod is really interesting. With his mod, it’s approximating global illumination in world space vs the standard screen space methods, so it’s accounting for bounced lighting from areas offscreen.

The cool thing about it is it’s implemented via Reshade, so you don’t need a ray-tracing card to make it work as far as I can tell, and it should be compatible with games that RTX remix won’t be able to touch.

Larian specifically said they’re working on optimizing for Xbox right now, so it seems like they’re pretty confident in making it happen. They seem like they’ve been pretty on the ball for promised features, so I’m pretty confident it will come out.

The previews they’ve shown look really promising.

If you don’t mind it being a digital version, you can get the Lost Mines book for free on D&D Beyond.
