I am looking forward to this. It would be nice if their “Demo Release Date Trailer” had a date in it though, instead of just “September.”

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I poop on company time.

I love Linux and run some Fedora flavor on just about every machine I own. I can’t imagine trying to run it on my sim rig with all the specialized hardware and software though. That sounds like a nightmare.

Now that’s dedication! Congratulations!

It does do 2.4GHz. There’s a dongle stored in the charging base.

“Our goal is that by 2030, we’ll be putting more water back into the watersheds and communities where we’re operating data centres, than we’re taking out,” says Will Hewes, global water stewardship lead at Amazon Web Services (AWS), which runs more data centres than any other company globally.

How can this possibly make sense? Mine owner says, “by 2030 we’ll be putting more gold into the ground than we’re taking out!” I can only assume this is some carbon credits style of nonsense.

Nobody is forcing studios or publishers at gunpoint to release on a subscription service.

Except for the hilarious number of studios owned by Microsoft. One would hope Microsoft takes the effect of Game Pass into account when they’re reviewing sales figures and shutting down studios. One would hope…

Upgraded from 10 to 50 series in the same computer? I’ve always had issues upgrading GPUs in place, regardless of vendor. My standard GPU upgrade process now includes running DDU to properly wipe drivers and do a fresh install from there.

This is why we have constitutional amendments. It’s been extended a good bit over the last centuries. The tools are there but nobody wants to, or can agree on how to, use them.

Yeah I don’t understand this. The post ends with

Full compatibility details coming soon.

What does “compatibility” mean? I have a bunch of their controllers, of different models, paired to different operating systems, and they all work great.

All good to great games that build on the foundation set by ALttP. I’d gladly play any of them if you put it in front of me but nostalgia demands that I push the one I played when I was like 9 years old or whatever.

I still play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at least a couple times a year though it’s usually with the randomizer these days. It is objectively the best video game ever made, which helps.

My GPU has a big, useless white light that I wish I could turn off

Have you tried OpenRGB? It may not support your specific GPU but it’s worth checking.

I guess this November is no longer a big red X on every publisher’s release calendar

Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post. I don’t think it’s ever looked nearly this dire.

I don’t remember exactly how I stumbled across GB, but I think it came up randomly during TheSpeedGamers Final Fantasy marathon in 2009 (which was the inspiration for the first GDQ marathon in 2010). They weren’t necessarily the first to do the very personality-focused, video heavy, gaming coverage, but they definitely went at it the hardest and with the fewest fucks given about doing anything the “right” way. I’ve spent over 16 years now following the site and the people that have come through it, the Giant Bomb Extended Universe. I couldn’t possibly quantify the impact they’ve had on me over the years. It may not technically be the end but I don’t see a path forward from here.

Just gonna go be sad for a bit and watch the best content GB ever put out. That would be, obviously, Thursday Night Throwdown: Fortune Street (and part 2). <>

Here we are, 17 years after a bunch of clueless suits fucked with GameSpot and led to the creation of Giant Bomb. Now it’s a whole new set of clueless suits fucking with Giant Bomb. It’s the circle of capitalism.

I was in deep for GB until the Nextlander split and slowly trailed off since then. I still have mad respect for that group and follow most of them in one way or another. This is a new level of dire for them.

The Giant Bomb Preservation Project still appears to be active so… at least there’s that I guess.

Awesome. Yet another reason to donate to the IA!

Edit: Grabbed episode 888 from IA. I’m only 10 minutes in and already these guys are going for it. I love this, fuck Fandom.

Git experience is highly transferrable. Unless you have some specific use case not supported by Git, why wouldn’t you use the one where the knowledge is most likely to carry over between projects/jobs?

I find it interesting how many people will click the link, find the relevant info, and paste it into a comment with a dash of snark, completely missing that the info is already in the body of the post. It’s some weird offshoot of not reading the article.

I can’t tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.

You have a commit titled “Full rewrite!!” but I’m not about to go do a comparison to see how “full” it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn’t look like you took someone’s FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.
