    Sons Of The Forest, Nvidia Hotfix, Discord AI, And Overwatch 2'S Smurfing Problem

    Sons Of The Forest, Nvidia Hotfix, Discord AI, And Overwatch 2'S Smurfing Problem

    This week's episode of Digital Coffee focuses on Sons of the Forest, an update to reduce CPU usage from Nvidia, Discord's Game to AI, Rebel Cop, Rogue City, Outer Worlds Space Choice Edition, Returnals, and Overwatch 2. The Sons of the Forest update includes new features such as binoculars, hang gliders, defensive walls, and mid-game boss fights. It also adds new death animations, variations for cannibals, and regular puffies to drink from. The balance of the game has also been improved by increasing health on creeps depending on the amount of multiplayer players, and boosting the rest amount from 0.3 to 0.7.
    The conversation discussed a variety of updates and fixes to the game, Kelvin Ketch fish order, and the Nvidia Geoforce 531.26 hotfixes nvidia container. The updates and fixes to the game discussed included shotgun damage, better AI responsiveness, and fixing a cave opening in late game. Kelvin Ketch fish order will end after a time, and the Nvidia update fixes the high CPU usage when exiting a game. Nvidia also has been having some issues with games stuttering and stopping for a moment. This conversation discussed the importance of these updates and fixes, as they ensure better gameplay and smoother running of games.

    The conversation discusses the issues associated with the use of AI on Discord. It is noted that AI often takes credit for art without giving the correct credit to the original creator, and that Chat GPT is politically biased against conservatives. It is also pointed out that AI is new and fun, but the newness will wear off if people don't want it. The speaker expresses a desire for an opt-in option rather than an opt-out option. Ultimately, it is agreed that AI can be problematic and should be used with caution.

    The conversation is about the growing presence of AI in our lives, and how it can be annoying to have to opt out of something instead of being able to opt in. It then moves on to the new game Robocop, and the speaker's excitement for it. They talk about how it looks like it will be true to the original version, but they are curious as to how the health system will work. Then the conversation shifts to the Outerworlds Spacer Edition and its performance issues. The speaker expresses their frustration about the frame rate issues, and how gamers expect their games to run smoothly. It is clear that the conversation is about the changing technology landscape and how it is impacting gaming.




    Show Notes:
    (01:25) Sons of the Forest update
    (03:05) Nvidia hotfix for High CPU usage
    (04:09) Discord going all in on AI
    (06:49) Robocop Rogue City looks fun

Incoherent political rambling pretending to be a gaming podcast

For example: “When they [Logitech] announced they will pay for their employees to kill their babies I was like, I’m out … This is just an extra example of why I’m not buying from them anymore.”
