How did you nerd out this Christmas?

Christmas is a time for hanging out with families, drinking and eating too much and more often than not, breaking out a game or two. Usually these are simple affairs like Scrabble, Monopoly or perhaps something without a board and dice, like charades. However, this being a site of tech enthusiasts, gamers, and nerds, it wouldn't surprise me if there weren't some slightly deeper gaming going on among the Kitguru masses this holiday season.

For example, I picked up this fun little game from the Mrs this year:

ankh
You know it's good because the rule book is more than 10 pages long

I haven't been lucky enough to get a full game in yet – there's only so much time between food and wet kisses from ageing relatives to play games in – but it's looking to be about the most geekified present I received this year and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

But I can't be the only one that's had a good scratch of his nerd-itch this Christmas. What about the rest of you?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
