I've gone several times without sleep for over 24 hours and never even came close to death. The heavy drinking and smoking is what killed him.

deitis2659d ago

I agree - but it's important to at least get checked out before attempting it for medical advice. His doctor most likely would've advised against it.

Yeah..... You shouldn't do that like AT all. You're body and mind is more important than any job or game for that matter. Give your body sleep when it needs it.

I've never spent 24 hours awake in my life and do not intend to ever do that.

InTheZoneAC2658d ago

I did once as a kid because it was a stupid challenge at a sleepover, never again have I tried.

BrianOBlivion2657d ago

I spend 24 hours+ awake a couple of times a week, every week, for years. Then I sleep 12-16 hrs.
When i game, I like to be immersed for the whole day. I prefer to watch an entire season of television in one or two sessions and when I have movie night, I'll watch 4 or 5 films back-to-back in one go.
I'm still kicking at almost 50 years old. I guess people just have different patterns or maybe your body just gets used to it.

70+ hours awake while playing ffxiv for first time and i was fine.

Thunder_G0d_Bane2658d ago

I just don't get why you would do that? I love gaming but I wouldnt fight my sleep just to keep gaming. I'll sleep and play when I got time to play. Gaming isnt more important than my health.

GNCFLYER2658d ago

RIP sir..

It was the drinking and smoking. That combo gives you insane high blood pressure which leads to severe heart problems.

InTheZoneAC2658d ago

At what point do pathetic people say you know, I need to take a break because I feel close to death?

n4rc2658d ago

he may have died while staying up for 24h, it most certainly wasn't the cause.

I've literally been at work busting my ass for 24h , stayed up partying for 2-3 days in my younger days.. it won't kill you.. all the blow I did in those 3 days might have lol, but not the lack of sleep

VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.

I just cannot believe we haven't had a game from them this generation nearly 4 years in.. crazy!

Knightofelemia13h ago

If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky3d ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu3d ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv724d ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple1014d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo3d ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

Eonjay2d ago

Yes it would increase the framerate but it would add more noticeable latency. The impact of latency goes down the more natural frames produced. So a monitor that can push bast 60 will naturally allow the game to operate much smoother. Add VRR to this and now you have a much more enjoyable experience.

BlackDoomAx3d ago

Can it deliver the 60fps dream?

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

no, it delivers approx 80fps.

which is why I say why not target 60fps with this new tech and use the upscaling pssr, (Sonys version of Nvidia's DLSS, that seems so popular in the pc realm)

then we have best of both, better believe ps5pro will be doing all the above.

andy853d ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

anast3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

120 is a bit slow. My eyes can't look at anything less than 260fps.
