Donkey Kong’s bananza gets fun when it gets hard, you say?

Pot, meet kettle.

From a gamedev perspective it wouldn’t make sense to call what was happening “classic”. It was unintended behavior.

What would make more sense would be to make a setting to allow or disable the intermission sections of the race (they’d need to think of another name for them though because they call the wait time between races intermissions in the settings already). Allow players to keep or remove the long stretches.

Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.

Lol.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

You realize words still count right?

The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

I repeat the above.

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

Its $100 extra, and that’s after the artificial COVID inflation. But your point stands.

Depends entirely on the area.

Some places have 12 sitting on a shelf all weekend, others can’t keep them in stock for 5 minutes. Your area sounds like one of the 5-minute ones.

Overall this launch has had a lot more supply and/or lower demand than the Switch 1 so its been somewhat easier, but still kinda crazy.

I don’t like flatpaks or snaps or anything like it either, but I think they help a lot in situations like the Steam Deck or PinePhone where you want the base to be able to move slowly and be stable, while letting the apps on top move quickly.

The problems with flatpaks and similar is that it allows and even encourages developers to stick with horrendously outdated libraries, and your system is only as safe as the container’s isolation defenses.

They also make it more difficult to go in and directly modify or tweak the program as the user.

And many developers are no longer offering bare-metal options.

Well, in the case of the liberux and the 9 pro, you get a lot more storage space built in (very fast storage), way more RAM, etc.

Its up to you whether that’s all worth it. To me it is, I max out sub-$400 phones very quickly. The pinephone feels very choppy to use too by comparison.

Wow, that’s quite the difference. What’s more shocking to me though is the fact that the rockchip somehow is built to handle a higher resolution than the tensor despite being weaker (8k@60fps vs 4k@60fps), and has AV1 support where the tensor doesn’t.

You want abliterated models, not distilled.

That’s a good callout. I’m not super familiar with it, do you know how it might bench against the Tensor G4?

Liberux NEXX is supposed to be a thing but they sorely need backers. It costs about the same as an equivalent Android phone (pixel 9 pro 1tb costs $1,500, liberux nexx 1tb costs $1,300).

8 core/32gb RAM/1TB storage phone in a very sleek body, Linux phones could have their flagship soon (and unlike pinephone it sounds like Liberux is gonna do the actual work on developing the software).

Thank you!

I can’t believe I forgot about this greentext. I knew it but didn’t catch it… I apologize

There’s a “your mom” joke here but I’m not going to make it because you don’t deserve that.

That exists, its called GPT4chan, and it went exactly like you’d expect.

After the Apple ruling basically forcing them to allow side loading, I doubt google would even be able to.

Correct
