- hbnI'm all for MS bashing and laughing at their incompetence, but was there really any threat there? I don't know anyone on PC who was interested in buying a game anywhere other than Steam in 2015.
- I hope we keep making progress in isolating tracks in music. I love listening to stems of my favorite songs, I find all sorts of neat parts I missed out on. Listening to isolated harmonies is cool too.
- It's not trying to be Portal. It's a Sokoban game. If you like playing Sokoban games, here's a package of ~1400 hand-crafted puzzles, probably with a handful of interesting gimmicks/rule alterations to spice things up.
> At one puzzle a minute, that's 24 hours of gameplay.
Unfortunately we're not all as smart as you but in TFA he estimates it'll take 400-500 hours to complete all of them.
- Soulja Boy never made any videos about Garry's Mod
This is kind of a joke and I know he was mostly poking fun at Braid but this does speak to how mainstream indie games got in that first wave that hit XBLA.
- If there's anyone who I think deserves to be able to say "all existing languages/engines suck" it's someone who made his own language from scratch to make an engine with it from scratch to make a game with it from scratch to combat the problem.
- This was a scary story to read after I cashed out all my rewards points at work for the first time in 5.5 years to get six $100 Apple gift cards which I redeemed back-to-back-to-back.
- I assume this is a shot at the White House but announcing an "anti-racist font" is totally up Google's alley
I know I've seen Mozilla proudly pat themselves on the back in their announcement of anti-racist Firefox themes
- Maybe a good excuse to get back into playing around with Coldtype again
- Because Epic is doing something much closer to those companies and restraints on what they can do would likely affect Epic as well.
- Speak of the devil, I just got this tweet in my feed today
- What's "many years"?
I've read about people's 3DS cartridges already failing just sitting on a shelf.
- Nintendo is pretty good for putting a solid 1.0 version of their games on the cartridges on release. But on the other hand, the Switch cartridges use NAND memory which means if you aren't popping them into a system to refresh the charge every once in a while, your physical cartridge might not last as long as they keep the servers online so you could download a digital purchase.
I've kinda given up on physical games at this point. I held on for a long time, but the experience is just so bad now. They use the cheapest, flimsiest, most fragile plastic in the cases. You don't get a nice instruction manual anymore. And honestly, keeping a micro SD card in your system that can hold a handful of games is more convenient than having to haul around a bunch of cartridges that can be lost.
I take solace in knowing that if I do still have a working Switch in 20 years and lose access to games I bought a long time ago, hopefully the hackers/pirates will have a method for me to play them again.
- "Hallucination" has always seemed like a misnomer to me anyway considering LLMs don't know anything. They just impressively get things right enough to be useful assuming you audit the output.
If anything, I think all of their output should be called a hallucination.
- Yes let's. But that doesn't answer my question.
- What you're describing is more of an American television problem.
The Simpsons, The Office, Game of Thrones, etc. all managed to go on too long without the help of Netflix.
- I'm not trying to watch videos or read text on my light bulb
- I only use light themes for the most part, and HDR videos look insane and out of place. If you scroll past an HDR video on Instagram you have a, eyeball-searing section of your screen because your eyes aren't adjusted to looking at that brightness, and then once you scroll it off the screen and you have no HDR content, everything looks dim and muted because you just got flashbanged.
- HDR videos on social media look terrible because the UI isn’t in HDR while the video isn’t. So you have this insanely bright video that more or less ignores your brightness settings, and then dim icons on top of it that almost look incomplete or fuzzy cause of their surroundings. It looks bizarre and terrible.
- Google showed off the Holo design language in Android 3.0 which was a year before Windows 8.
