HDR PNG is huge

They were able to prevent Dolphin’s release on Steam

Weddell sea is good, mentioning Antarctica is good, the word “North” is meaningless in this context which is what the OP is laughing about.

I’ve played the first one briefly. I don’t remember being able to play other characters. I remember the worst part being the combat system was an absolute slog. The later Witcher games don’t have great combat systems either, but it’s at least improved with each generation.

I might go back and play the older witchers eventually but I still haven’t finished Witcher 3 despite like 200 hours in it.

mace/pepper spray is illegal in a lot of the world

While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.

This only applies to new accounts, can be opt-out of, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

So if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to hide?

It’s impressive that’s still the case when SteamOS is running a translation layer that Windows doesn’t have to.

Also, SteamOS is actually a pretty fully-featured OS, and it’s based off of Linux, so it’s not that specialized, besides the UI.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

I’d put it at like 2 or 3 lines of text not counting keywords

At least, not until there’s a guaranteed CFW for Switch.

There is for early models of the Switch:

If you are interested you’ll have to buy a used one, older is more likely to work.

Obligatory “fuck Notch” but I really liked the idea of 0x10c when it was announced.

The Apollo spacesuits were pretty impressive, but they didn’t account for radiation that much. There are two reasons why we care more for planning a trip to Mars: we simply know more about solar radiation and what it can do to you, but also there’s a factor of dosage. A mars trip is a lot longer and would expose astronauts for much longer. We already consider radiation dosage frequently on earth. When the doctor gives you an x-ray, they go to the other room behind a lead wall because if they were in the room every time they x-rayed a patient, they would get a dangerous dose of x-rays over time, but you getting a very high dose of X-rays once in a while is not a big deal.

For starters:

The last time we went to the moon was in 1972, towards the tail end of the big Apollo spike.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

Honestly $80 price tag on new game is not that bad. The $60 standard has not kept up with inflation.

Everything else though … paying to use the better performance of the new hardware for games like Zelda, paid advertisement demo app, lack of OLED on an HDR console, especially when the previous gen had OLED, same faulty joystick technology, dedicated subscription service ad button on the controller…

Huh? My actual GameCube controller works with all games on the Switch 1, although it doesn’t have all the buttons used by some games.

In particular it would be absurd if this new GameCube controller doesn’t work with Smash Ultimate.

We don’t really detect direction of light exactly. Instead we detect the location in the eye where the light landed, and have lenses to focus the light onto our retina. That relationship does imply some of the directionality of the light, by ignoring light that goes in certain directions and relating the direction of light that does get detected to the location it ends up.

Helldivers 2

It’s primarily 3rd person but then again so is Warframe.

I looked into building my own keyboard, and then realized there are some excellent hobbyist tier keyboards that are 99% of what I would have wanted from building myself for like 30% of the cost.

I’m using the Hexgears Gemini Dawn right now, and I’m quite happy with it, but if I were to get a new one today I might go with something that supports QMK like the Massdrop CTRL.

The main 2 features I look for are hot-swappable switches and programmable firmware. Personally I like an aluminum frame and look for that as well.

You’ll pay about $100 for a prebuilt vs like $500 for building it yourself
