    Of course, if you're like me and disable subpixel anti-aliasing because it is garbage doesn't work for you anyways, you don't have to care about the subpixel layout. Hooray!

    As realistic as manufacturer-supplied benchmarks ever get, anyhow. It does seem like the gains are almost entirely attributable to multi-frame generation.

    In fairness, if they're only doing one set of captions, it should be "for the hearing-impaired". I assume they aren't ACTUALLY closed captions, since no one's complained about the huge black boxes. Open captions for the win!

    Steve making fun of marketing copy for a half-hour is glorious.

    Hear, hear! This man gets it!

    Disappointing, but what I expected from the preview images.

    Yeah, that looks like a guitar to me too. He should be a Double Godmaster Triple-Changer. Ginrai turns him into a truck, Basara turns him into a plane, both of them turn him into a robot. Wait, that's almost exactly the opposite of how the gimmick works... The real takeaway here is that my headcanon now says that Ginrai is anima spiritia. Has anime spiritia? I'm not actually sure if the term in Mac7 referred to Basara himself or just the energy he produced.

    Honestly, every GeForce for a few years has felt like nVidia spitting in my face. I've only had Radeons for a long time, and part of that is nVidia keeps finding new ways to be awful.

    Perhaps Kawamori's MOST iconic design, however, is Battle Convoy. Though admittedly he was part of a team, and that one wasn't JUST his in the way the variable fighters are. But the Transformers team may not want to work with him these days, given how upset the fanbase was over MP Starscream. ALSO! Basara Prime should be a headmaster! I want a tiny Basara that becomes a robot head! ... Actually, scratch that. I'd make him a JP-style Powermaster, have him do the Ginrai thing, write lore connecting chokon power to spiritia, and REALLY make a confusing mess of this entire concept.

    Of course, right now we don't know how the 5070 performs, so we can't really sa* how much of an upgrade it is. We know how nVidia claims it performs, but manufacturer claims in this industry range from "optimistic" to "bald-faced lies". And personally, nVidia leans a bit strongly towards the latter for my tastes. I personally believe their "5070 performs like a 4090" claim is "with the 4090 rendering every frame at 3840x2160 resolution while the 5070 upscales from 1920x1080 and does three frames of motion interpolation for every frame it renders"... or just "4090 DLSS off vs 5070 DLSS Performance" if you'd prefer to conceal the reality with marketing buzzwords.

    Basara Prime is the obvious marketing decision, but I'm still disappointed given Armada Starscream is RIGHT THERE. He basically already has sound boosters in the design, even!

    It is weird to me that Flashback 2012 is okay but SDF and DYRL aren't.

    I think the official answer is overtechnology makes them durable enough that it doesn't matter. Battroid mode in particular is noted to be more durable due to having spare juice from the reactors to power the very hungry energy-converting armor systems that make the machine MUCH more durable. (Historically, this isn't active in fighter mode since the engines are busy throwing the plane forward and have less power available, hence why they can beat on a battroid all day but a fighter folds like paper-mache)

    I just wish they'd figured out this was d ad two years ago and not spent... however much money and manpower has gone into it since the trouble started.

    CED is wild tech. But yeah, there's relatively little hardware, and the styluses haven't been made for decades. The format isn't completely unplayable yet, but it is well on its way. YouPotato Technology Connections did a five-part documentary about the format and it's history because there was just slightly too much information to fit into one episode... and slightly too much information to fit into the second episode, and slightly too muck information to fit in the third... and his thirty-minute swim turned into a two-and-a-half-hour deep dive because there was just so much going on. https://youtu.be/PnpX8d8zRIA
