NTC should be used on everything next-gen, but it's up to the developers. You can use the old way of compressing textures alongside NTC in the same game, for example if there's some artifacts you're trying to avoid on a specific texture. Sony may also have a feature on its servers allowing the console to download only the set of textures/assets it needs. For example, a lower quality texture pack for the PS6 handheld vs. the PS6 console. NTC will work on RDNA2, Nvidia itself tested it, but it may be slow. And if you turned it off but the developer went big with it, maybe 24 GB VRAM fills up. I'm just speculating, we need to see some real world use to figure it out, and that will mostly be years from now.

Agree, also not happy with the US policy and I'm aware that M$ can change it's policy respect the user in any moment. But until now they have to fullfit the EU policy and forced they do (I checked it). I'm also aware that they add o remove features and the UI is not much customizable, ugly and crappy, but I fixed all this, also the default UIXº, all functions and apps I use are FOSS, mostly European and not from M$ (except the Vivaldi browser (Norway) which isn't full OpenSource), I monitor and block all unwanted traffic with Portmaster (mandatory in the todays web, also for Linux). As said, for me at the moment valid, if in the future M$ becomes more crappy, it's still time to switch to Linux. Google is a way bigger risk and needed to search alternatives, eg. GDrive, often used by the TDM members, European alternatives are eg. Murena (France) or kDrive (Germany, 15 GB free), maybe also Filen cloud storage (Germany, 10 GB free). º

I read the whole thing during a couple afternoons on a sunny patio. I've never read a screenplay before and it's not really my genre (it turned out it was in the end), but the story drew me in and kept my attention (which is a feat in its own). I quite enjoyed it. I don't have any constructive criticism, but I think it could make a good short film or episode - something that's original and not the usual Hollywood slop.
