1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,759
gaming is obviously meant to be fun but even if you're a seasoned vet the

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,360
alphabet soup of gaming acronyms can be a little mystifying from technical terms

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,080
to shorthand you see in discord to jargon throne and angry game reviews so

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:19,680
let's demystify some of these acronyms right now starting with the dreaded qte

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:23,439
which stands for quick time event this has nothing to do with that old video

6
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,599
player from apple but it does have to do with cut scenes instead of giving us a

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,279
cut scene to advance the plot and then just getting back to the game

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,840
some developers had the genius idea of making gamers press a button during a

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,760
cutscene to make something happen on the screen the whole press f to pay respects

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,399
fiasco from a few years ago has become the quintessential example of an

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:49,680
extremely stupid quick time event the acne qte isn't disparaging in and of

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,320
itself but the vast majority of times you see it

13
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:58,000
no one's going to have anything positive to say here's another popular one moba

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:00:59,840
moba or multiplayer online battle arena

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,640
these are games based around fighting through three lanes as a team to destroy

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:10,560
the opposing team's base the game dota or defense of the asians is widely

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,400
credited with popularizing the genre and

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,360
fun fact dota was actually a mod for warcraft 3 but it became so popular that

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,479
a standalone sequel called dota 2 was developed today dota 2 league of legends

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,479
and arena of valor are three extremely popular moba games that are common in

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,200
esports competitions though many other titles do exist let's move on to

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,119
something a little bit more technical right after i tell you about secret lab

23
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:38,320
chairs which are great for your ass they're engineered to keep you

24
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:42,720
incredibly comfortable for long hours at work and play their new titan evo 2022

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,479
chair keeps you feeling comfortable for longer hours with their four-way lumbar

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,560
support ultra-comfortable line of different seat material and more all

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,840
chairs come with a five-year extend warranty and 49-day return policy so

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:01,200
head to the link in the video description and check out secret lab today so for something more technical

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,520
dlss and fsr which stand for deep learning super sampling and fidelity

30
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,520
effects super resolution respectively are the next acronyms on our list these

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,319
are two technologies designed to deliver better image quality without putting a

32
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:18,800
huge load on your graphics card the lss is developed by NVIDIA and is only

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,440
available on 2000 series and newer cards and as the name suggests it uses machine

34
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,680
learning to train an ai on what a game should look like meaning the card can

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,319
use ai cores to upscale the game instead of forcing the GPU to do tons of raw

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,800
computation meaning higher frame rates and higher quality than traditional

37
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,280
rendering fsr on the other hand is from AMD and unlike dlss it does not use

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,599
machine learning but it does have special AMD specific algorithms baked in

39
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,480
that allow it for better up sampling without putting too much extra work on

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,599
the GPU for your game to support the lss

41
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,519
or fsr the game itself has to support it

42
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:00,160
so it's mostly found on newer titles some games only support one or the other

43
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,879
while other titles support both another graphical acronym that's

44
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,280
sneakily important is fov or field of view this is a setting that determines

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,200
how much of your surroundings you can see the common wisdom is to set it

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,760
higher if you're sitting close to the screen and lower if you're farther away

47
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,760
setting it too low when you're close to the display as is often the case when

48
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,480
you're gaming on a pc is actually a common cause of motion sickness so try

49
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,560
turning it up if you're feeling queasy of course turning it up too much can

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,040
make the game look like you're viewing it through a fisheye lens so watch out

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:37,760
for that as well do you have any gaming acronyms that confuse the heck out of

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,200
you let us know down in the comment section and you might see an explainer
