The new trick is that when you tap on the bottom 10%, it’ll make that app take up 90%, and the app you were just in will be downsized to the remaining 10%. As for why this is considered better than pressing the multitasking button twice, I have no idea. I’ve honestly never enjoyed the split screen feature on my phone, but I multitask a lot.

Engineers need to stay busy I guess, even if every feature a phone needs has been implemented.

They’re sitting at 71% (mostly positive) for a game they released as early access. If your studio can’t survive that kind of response, you don’t get to blame the fans, you’re not managing your company well.

1000W does sound big enough for a 5090, but what about the other computer components?

Looks like a skill issue. I didn’t see any of those things when I opened the link.

It’s an alternate timeline where Jessica had a daughter instead of a son and Leto defeated the Harkoenens during their invasion, so Leto rules over Arrakis for the indefinite future, leaving space in the story for fetch quests and base building. Apparently the fremen disappeared too, so you have to solve the mystery.

Only a madman would try FTL without a quick pause, although I believe it can be remapped.

Even if you own a Steam Deck, Nintendo has some attractive value. Nintendo essentially has a monopoly on at least 3 genres of videogame. The entire library of Steam doesn’t really have a casual racing game that can go toe-to-toe with Mario Kart. The same can be said for almost any Mario game. Even if a Steam Deck had the games, you’d need 2 decks or an extra controller to get the Switch-style experience. Valve isn’t really trying to compete with the Switch on its own turf.

“$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I’m going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead.”

It’s a 60Hz vs 120Hz screen, and it’s got true 1080p resolution. It’s certainly on-par with the Steam Deck in terms of performance and performance per dollar. The price isn’t ridiculous by any stretch.

Python does not need to be compiled, have you ever used it?

Can you please articulate why Python and Bash are so different in your eyes?

You might have a career as a Halo 3 e-sports pro then!

What a shit take. Excuse me while I go play Hollow Knight again…

It is hard to make a sequel to the best game of all time, unless it is the new best game of all time. I’m not sure the extended dev time is the dominant issue here.

What’s stopping the downloaded script from wiping my home directory?

What’s stopping any Makefile, build script, or executable from running rm -rf ~? The correct answer is “nothing”. PPAs are similarly open, things are a little safer if you only use your distro’s default package sources, but it’s always possible that a program will want to be able to delete something in your home directory, so it always has permission.

Containerized apps are the only way around this, where they get their own home directory.

It makes you feel like it’s really happening. You’re up North in the mountains, and you need to get back to camp to talk to a friend, so you ride your horse, and get stuck behind a wide carriage for a bit, and the trees are close to the trail for a while, so you can’t easily get around without getting a faceful of branches. One you start making it down the mountain, you find a nice looking deer and think “that hide would look great on some boots”, so you pull out your rifle to hunt. Unfortunately, you’re up wind, so the deer ran away very early on, but you couldn’t be deterred, so you chased after it, and eventually landed a good shot. You take the meat to the butcher, and he comments that he’s greatful you brought it in so fresh this time. You wonder why you ended up here, oh yeah, you wanted to go meet up with a friend, and it’s been over an hour and you’re just less than halfway there, so you look up at the sky and wonder how long it’ll take, it’s a very pretty sky at sunset, so you decide to make camp for the night.

No, you don’t. Containers are the endgame of a bunch of dumb people saying “I don’t like apt, so I’m going to make my own and it’ll be better in my own distro”, and now we have a hundred incompatible alternatives that are worse than apt, and no one knows how to deploy for all of them, so they give up and make a container.

It’s absolutely not just a gaming problem. Movie reviews are getting more and more bandwagon-y. Only a few reviewers post in the first day or two, and everyone else says “okay, they hated it, now I have to hate it too or I’m going to lose credibility”. I think it’s the inevitable outcome of having less famous reviewers, a NYT columnist can post what they feel, but a small blog can fall into obscurity if they have one contrarian review.

The only part that’s unique to gaming is that gamers are the most toxic community in the internet.

Pfft! You sound like an Octopus pretending to be a real dad, you can’t fool me!

This is a pretty standard affair for open sourced games.

Lemoyne Raiders aren’t the Klan. There’s actual klansmen too. You have to find them at night in the woods near Lemoyne, but they’re never associated with the raiders.
