Mosquito Lasers & Gaming Disasters: Nexus Mods, SteamDB, More DLSS 5 | OTC EP 96

Join Hi-Tech Lo-Life, Gardiner Bryant, and James (Games Revealed) as we recap the week, including Gardiner migrating his Ghost site to object storage/CDN for faster image loading and cheaper media storage, and James replaying Quantum Break while working on “Load Kit” system to simplify game fixes like Dead Space 2 patches.

We discuss SteamDB’s features and react to Nexus Mods acquiring SteamDB, raising concerns about ads and anti-competitive policies. The episode covers skyrocketing GPU prices (notably the 5090 and 5060 Ti), path tracing mods, DLSS 5 performance/visual debates and meme examples, Sony’s argument that “no reasonable consumer” is misled about digital game ownership, new Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming hour limits, Tim Sweeney’s warning of a major game industry crash, and a $1,000 Photon Matrix laser mosquito turret.
