I’m hoping this lights a fire under devs’ asses and reminds them that the platformer genre exists. I’ve played a few recent indie platformers that were decent but I’d love to see the genre get some love from bigger studios (other than Nintendo).

The only recent one I can think of that fits that bill is Yooka Laylee and that game was doodoo.

Nah I’d rather marry a human but nice slippery slope

there’s going to be zero way to determine which content is human and not

The thing about this prediction is that if it actually does become true, it’ll apply to the content you already enjoy. If it’s content you enjoy, it’s content you enjoy. If not, don’t watch it. I don’t want to see human creators vanish either but I also think AI creators can coexist with them and ultimately, viewers will vote with their views. YouTube isn’t gonna make ad money off videos people aren’t watching, so if AI content is shite, they’ll walk back on it

Pretty sure VLC is built on top of ffmpeg but I could be wrong

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is already on the Switch and idk, as much as I love this series, playing on a controller just felt so much clunkier than mouse and keyboard.

But that’s probably just me. Still excited this game is getting new light

Bugfixes are a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” thing with remasters. Purists and speedrunners often prefer bugs remain unfixed, others don’t

But I definitely see what you mean with the overly busy designs and inaccurate models. I actually died once to my own rocket launcher because I thought I was shooting through a gap between a cliffside and a tree but the gap acted like an invisible wall

I’m curious what you think they messed up with CE anniversary? I just recently played through it and can’t remember any changes besides the graphics, which can be switched back to normal by simply pressing the Tab key

The “but muh types” criticism of Python has always been completely ignorant of the main use cases of Python. Like yeah, probably shouldn’t use it in avionics or medical devices. But scientific computing where you’re basically just using the interpreter as a calculator? You really only care about whether something’s an integer or not. Float vs. double isn’t gonna kill you

For about 2 years, I was smoking at a level that was definitely bad. I would smoke 2-3 bowls in the morning, then have multiple sessions at night of 2-3 bowls each. I was going through an ounce of flower per week.

The sheer amount of time it took to smoke that much was a waste, I mean I was watching TV while I was doing it but it was pretty garbage TV, since I wasn’t mentally present enough to watch anything good.

I basically gave myself asthma. I never had asthma attacks before I started smoking and then I started getting them during my sessions and then I started getting them outside of my sessions.

Anyways, I’m 3 months clean now with no plans to ever touch it again. I know that I can’t just be a joint-on-the-weekend-kind of guy. I’m no longer getting asthma attacks and I’m sleeping much better now (and I get dreams again! I missed that so much)

So can’t play on Xbox :(

Unfortunately, I think liberals are going to continue taking the easy route, which is not really having much of a platform other than “we’re not Trump supporters”

I’m not saying you’re wrong, this is just a very American marketing approach. Like, why would a tech company want to grow out of the tech sector? Oh right, never ending quarter over quarter growth…

The wild part to me is that the average person doesn’t even know what IO means in a tech context, but enough tech companies have used .io for normies to be conditioned into associating .io with tech

Not all TLDs are, just the ccTLDs. The .io domain was never intended to be such a popular one, but tech bros were like “zomg io! That’s like input/output!! So techie!!!” Meanwhile, .tech exists and is not country-specific but is far less popular for some reason.

Wait why are distros removing HEVC?

I love how this whole debacle has turned into a finger-pointing party

“We, Microsoft, didn’t do it, CrowdStrike did!”

“We, CrowdStrike, didn’t do it, the airlines did!”

Of course, this would be fine if done for technical purposes, but it’s actually being done to reverse stock price dips and make the boards of directors happy

archive.org is the modern proposal of a library, and yeah, look what’s happened to them

A Steam library view with shelves of boxes would be so cool. Sorta like what GOG has

Driving a red sedan

It’s not even cheap anymore :(

What lol not even close. NFL+ is $100/yr and you get every game. Sure, they’re replays and not live games, but honestly that’s the best way to watch American football so you can skip over the absurd amount of commercials. Cuts the 3 hr broadcasts down to 2 hr. They also have condensed versions that they post a couple hours after the game ends which cuts out everything between whistles, so it’s just the actual plays. Cuts the 3 hr broadcast down to 45 min. If you’re a football mega nerd, they also have coach’s versions where it shows the 22-man camera angle of every play.
