One of my earlier memories was playing a strange game I haven’t been able to find again. All I remember is: you control a car (I think it has flower decals on it?) and can drive through a desert/canyon area. You can also press a key which makes a rotor come out of the top of the car, allowing you to fly it like a helicopter.
I have no idea what the gameplay was beyond that, but I’d love to find it again.
Lots of software has non-reproducible build artifacts due to e.g. timestamps being inserted, or due to non-stable algorithms being used during compilation. They presumably managed to remove all sources of randomness from the image they build.
FUCK YES! I was so bummed that Pharloom Bay and the Lifeblood Spire were cut, looks like we’ll be getting all that & more!
Then I’ll hold off on adding even more to the pile, but I can definitely recommend Lies of P.
Oh man, brace yourself! Dispatch is amazing. Came out of nowhere for me, and blew me away!
Silksong - I had hyped myself up way too much, yet it still delivered. Absolute masterpiece.
Dispatch - I finally understand why people enjoyed Telltale games so much. The writing is great, the characters are interesting, just all around a great experience.
Lies of P - Overture - I finally finished Lies of P & played Overture a few weeks back, after dropping off the game twice in the last years. Wow, that was great! And honestly more emotional than I’d expected.
I don’t wanna hype you up too much - but I’d been looking forward to playing Silksong almost since it was announced and had very high expectations, and it did not disappoint!
Glorp is the spiritual successor to Fleeb, though mostly ran by the people behind Pumbu (the ones who started it, not the ones who ran it into the ground) and Muupi (the ones who ran it into the ground).
Other jobs being more stressful doesn’t make their jobs less stressful. Let’s not make anyone’s job more stressful than necessary :)
Also don’t fuck with people who strongly resemble your daughter
I don’t think there’s a single valid point in that comment
This one? https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis
Seems really cool, thanks for the tip!
It would most likely still mean less engagement overall. YouTube recommendations are strongly based on interactions and momentum. If part of your core fanbase watches & interacts on other platforms, you’re recommended to fewer people outside your fanbase, so over time your viewership shrinks.
I’d have expected it to be easier than shopping for hair products!
X11 doesn’t support a number of modern features well (e.g. fractional scaling) and has a fundamentally insecure operational model that makes it hard to prevent keylogging/screengrabbing, and the developers found it so hard to evolve & work with over time that they decided to start over with a more modular and conservative approach.
While it was a painful transition, I believe it’s worth it. But I don’t think that the accessibility story has developed enough to make the deprecation of X11 a good idea…
skong release when??
Is there a RISCV chip available with comparable performance & efficiency to current ARM chips? Seems like Valve would kill any chance their headset has if they unnecessarily reduced time between charging cycles.
I haven’t had any issues with my 8BitDo controller on Proton 10.x.
Eh, I don’t mind if they make a couple more. I can take or leave the story, but the environments are well-produced and happen to result in interesting papers on rendering them. It’s cool to have some much work and effort put into a natural alien environment. I can’t really remember another movie in the last decades that goes this far.
Thinking about it, I’d really prefer if they made fictional documentaries instead…
The first doesn’t really (and the thread they “re-opened” to connect the sequel is pretty bad), but the second one does leave a couple things open.
In general, the second one does improve a bit on the criticisms of the first movie. Not enough to make it great or special IMO, but at least it’s a bit better.
I switched to LibreWolf when the privacy policy fiasco happened a while ago. It’s funny how every few weeks Mozilla manages to demonstrate why I won’t switch back.
The new CEO has also already lost me with this gem:
Even taking the statement at face value, it’s unacceptable for it to just “feel off-mission”. It should be a clear “no, never” instead of some wishy-washy answer.
But reading between the lines, such a statement is not just an off-the-cuff remark, but at best a threat to their users, and at worst a way to gauge the blowback of such a decision. They must have already taken it seriously enough to come up with the $150 million.
If I had to put up a number, I’d guess there’s a 25+% chance that Firefox will drop Manifest V2 in the next few years.
