Lots of scares had by all.'Tis interesting to read about the various techniques used in rendering reflections. Source uses pre-baked ones for the most part and a dynamic one for water, and while GTA IV/V and many others use cube or parabolic textures generated from LOD models, some others use screen-space reflections, i.e. it only accounts for the stuff on screen, not behind it.
Now, it's time for me to swap graphics cards. Patsy needs that GeForce GT730. Pinball Arcade runs fine on her current GeForce 210, only at low settings. Set the ball reflections on high, and multiball can be problematic.
I think the GeForce 210 will do just fine for Ruby anyway.
As for Halloween, some of my folks did prepare and dress up for the occasion. My brother used to be an active cosplayer, but he kinda' scaled back as he's busy with other commitments.
