DLSS is great when it works, but sometimes in Hogwarts Legacy you can see the cracks.

It's weird because you never really notice it during Cyberpunk.

In Hogwarts sometimes when you load into another large area for 1 second the picture is soft and you can see DLSS snap it into place within a second. So its actually really impressive as you can see what its upscaling from.

However during some character chats, when the camera cuts from one character to the other, you have that 1 second of blurriness. But this happens every time the camera cuts to a different character.

It's strange because it doesn't always happen. I think I notice it more in handheld.

Other tech issues are sometimes the character voice will muffle, like you've moved away from them, in open gameplay, but all I've done is turn the camera or walked 2 metres away.

Also very rarely the lighting seems to change depending on the camera angle.

It's a very polished game so these minor things stick out more.

New glasses get.

Getting old sucks.

If I want anti-aliasing I just take off my glasses.

If I want a sharper bigger portable screen, I put on my readers.

Yay.

I feel the pain. I can't read my phone without taking off my glasses now. As a result, I'm constantly losing my glasses, because I forget to put them back on and then walk away from wherever I left them.

I had to get progressive lenses about 5 years ago. Solved most of my vision problems, except for really tiny print.

Yep, same boat. I have readers for reading books and ingredients on the back of the box. It was a terrible feeling when you know your vision is getting worse. The silver loning is everyone my age is losing their's too.

My astigmatism is not bad enough where I can get contacts that correct, just bad enough to annoy me.

It was suggested that I pick up a pair of those last year. When I got my latest set of glasses. I was a little too stubborn and didn't want to admit that I really needed them, so I just got my standard pair. I regret doing that. This winter, I'll probably bite the bullet and get the progressives.

You need a glasses chain/strap.

I have one now. I walk about the house with a pair of glasses dangling on my chest.

Wearing a different pair of glasses.

These opticians screwed me over, the "reading" pair is all i need. The distance pair they said I needed just makes reading blurry.

And because of the quirks of their offers, I ended up with 2 pairs of the same distance pair and another reader.

If anyone's interest all the Assassin's Creed games on Switch are on their deepest sale.

The Ezio Collection has dropped to £13.50 so like $15 ish for Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations.

And the mega bundle has those 3 games plus Assassin's Creed 3, 4 and Rogue for £25 so like $30 ish?

Anyone checking on Micro sd express card prices?

On Amazon the same card is being sold at wildly different prices.

I have seen the 512gb price drop to £99 at the cheapest at the moment, an Integral brand card.

They were also the cheaper brand of normal sd cards, I bought them for switch 1 and they did crash a fair bit. So I switched to Sandisk and barely had any crashed.

If you shop around you can get two 256gb, so 512gb total for £80

If you're okay swapping between cards.

I was going to wait for a 2tb model but the prices are so high, even for a 2tb model I don't think its feasible.
