New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)

Yes, in this case some contexts were "misaligned".

Video author manipulated the subject by showing ONLY those good looking EDO screenshots that were reshaded,
mentioned that SOME commanders are using reshade to beautify them,
and skipped the fact, that it's only a margin of cases,
most of screenshots on this forum are pure in-game ones, regular or high-quality in-game postprocessed
(we can argue if it's corresponding to in-game experience, but this was no subject at all up to now).

What obviously misleads his viewers to the conclusion that ALL great looking EDO screenshots are "faked".

But you have indeed "wrapped" this in a more reasonable proportions, so I would not stretch the (rightful) accusations towards video author to you.

Honestly I rechecked the video, and I could see why that one example picked would seem like it underwent heavy post processing, especially if compared to what he saw on that planet. Sadly I guess the only way to clear it up would be to have a 100 CMDRs travel there, get in the exact same position at the exact same time, and take a screenshot, then compare who sees what. Which really is not what we are here for.

And also, ReShade was a big thing last time I played :D It even had its own thread.

EDIT: And I admit, if I had the hardware, I would be that crazy guy to try and apply the Raytracing reshade filter to Elite to see what happens.

This problem is something not directly related to GPU or CPU performance.

I have been relogging (for science, naturally) in a powered down mission settlement
some instances were with no NPCs and I had "normal" fps,
some with NPCs and it triggered fps drops that was absolutely irrelevant to GFX settings,
GPU and CPU usage was way below 100% and not a single core was 100% utilized.

Must be some NPC AI issue, there must be some flaw in code that make the "rest" of the game wait until NPC AI subroutines are finished or something similar.

I suspect it's an internal GPU bottleneck as altering GPU performance does still alter frame rate, even if reported utilization is well below 100%. In my experience, the presence of NPCs has little to no bearing on it.

Then we are definitely having other issues.
When I'll get back from exploring,
I will try to recreate what I was writing about and post a FPS/performance monitored video comparing NPC and no NPC instance of the same settlement at the same time.

If I won't forget ;)

You know what would be really interesting? Even as a super secret debug option? Wireframe mode. Because then we could see exactly what all is rendered.

In another thread - a player states "I'm enjoying playing Odyssey" - to have a suggestion thrown back that "70% of steam reviewers suggest you are lying" (paraphrased) - hints that precise thought is at a premium here.

The player was suggesting that the negative Steam reviews must have come from Star Citizen fans review-bombing Odyssey.

It's funny how often reality seems to be somewhere in between to polar opposites.

It's a simple but ingenious manual to understanding reality
and why contradicting points of views don't always exclude each other,
although they seem logically conflicting.

Also, why you should NOT follow any ideology - it makes you look at reality from one angle/point.

Ah, yes one "m". But in English it is actualyl Hamelin, and in german it seems to be Hameln. It's kinda like the Bremer Musikanten, that's also something horrible in English I believe.

Also as a bonus:

I think I just react to it, because as I German I know the source material and the English version just sounds wrong to me :)

And I never read the tales in English so there is that

At risk of coming across as patronising :

pied

adjective
having two or more different colours

So, in the English version, they decided to focus on his garb rather than his profession for the name of the story.

So in the german version he takes the kids because he is a catcher and they didn't pay him, in the english he's just that dude singing Safety Dance and didn't get paid :D
