The new video "Fallout 4 with 0 Equip load" is live!

[Fallout 4 with 0 Equip load]

Since the video has been released I'll be uploading the assets used in this video as soon as possible.

[Next video?]

Current plans are making a followup video on this topic and make a 0 equip load new vegas. Unlike Fallout 4 this will be done in survival mode.

After making a 1 hour video I'm currently taking the time to sort through all the music and assets I have. I'll post an update when I get started.

[Changes to video quality]

🚨Tech Talk incoming🚨

I've been doing some research on how to make the video look crisp and clean without using up too much time.

The recent video has been encoded with NVENC which utilizes the GPU to do the heavy lifting. This makes the encoding 3 times faster but unfortunately degrades the quality of the video. I have offset-ted this by making the final video size 2 times larger than before.

As a result the video is both fast to render and crisp to watch. Unfortunately the file size was 32 gigs so it took a lot of time to upload and process. I'm currently doing more research on finding the sweet spot between quality and reasonable file size.

Before (CPU - 32Mbps) / After (NVENC - 72Mbps)

I'll be uploading the full research comparison included in the monthly asset if you are interested in these kind of stuff.

[Expansion on the Epitaph tier]

Since we have a Patron-only discord server, the comment feature of the Epitaph tier has been rarely used. Because of this I have expanded the number of tier from 10 to 20. If all goes well I'll be removing the patron limit for this tier in the future.

Thank you all for your continued support!
