Cheers I appreciate the list, yeah I had a feeling it was a bit of a smaller library

I’ve never really given the 32X library much of a look

What are some personal highlights of people here? I might give some a look at the weekend

Future publishing is unfortunately circling the drain right now, they recently canned a load of other brands that had been running for decades

Microsoft used to actually hide games in Office back in the day

Challenge: create an escape room using just Jira workflow

I’m sure an unfortunate bang on the head could invalidate that one

Edit: that reads a lot more like a threat than I intended it

Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

This would make sense if Steam didn’t exist and is arguably the most consumer friendly of the storefronts

And if people weren’t increasingly choosing to not shop in brick & mortar stores anyway. The big high street game retailer in my country has mostly transitioned to being a nerd-culture merch shop rather than somewhere that actually stocks any games other than the Sims, CoD or EAFC.

A modern text editor with language servers running absolutely will take up 1GB+, I know I can easily get neovim to go past that with typescript projects.

Well, I got your joke anyway

Honestly NZXT has always seemed a little shady to me. I remember when they first showed up with cases completely unlike anything else on the market at the time, it all seemed a bit form over function. Kinda struck me as something in the same category as Alienware in that it was set up from the get-go to fleece people who didn’t know any better.

That little fact at the bottom still regularly blows people’s minds IME—yes trust me, the burnt tasting dark roast robusta you love has competitively fuck all caffeine in it compared to the interesting tasting light roast.

Ikr, I was telling myself that I’ll finish reading that and get back to what I was doing—20 minutes later I realise I’m not even halfway

Have you used the steam deck?

There’re quite a few controller layouts where the left pad is put to good use

Valve probably also don’t want to split the controller layouts contributed by the community either

The next head of state for the USA famously is allergic to the truth, why would we hold American companies to a higher standard?

The problem with YouTube is the sheer amount of storage required. Just going by the 10 Exabyte figure mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there are about 25,000 fediverse servers across all services in total IIRC, so even if you evenly split that 10EB across all of them, they would still need 400TB each just to cover what we have today.

Famously YouTube needs a petabyte of fresh storage every day, so each of those servers would need to be able to accept an additional 40GB a day.

Realistically though, any kind of decentralised archive wouldn’t start with 25,000 servers, so the operational needs are going to be significantly higher in reality

Not what you’re asking for, but unless you know your decanter is made from lead free crystal (most aren’t), don’t store booze in it for any amount of time. You should be safe to use it to serve a spirit in, but lead leaches into the spirit much quicker than you’d realise

I find it works really well (as a combo with stick) for FPS games on the steamdeck, feels a bit closer to mouse & keyboard in precision

Give me the Steam Deck layout sans screen and I’ll buy several.

This, they should include gyro too ideally if that doesn’t go without saying

TBF those streaming sites are usually the lowest common denominator, run by people who are just trying to make as much ad money as they can before they get caught or shut down.

When one shuts down, another inevitably pops up—it’s been this way for a couple of decades. No site ever lasts longer than a couple of years tops, it’s just a way too obvious way of doing things to not get caught eventually

Generally it’s best to go with a download based approach anyway (or one of the streaming approaches that doesn’t involve a web browser), given the quantity of shitty ads and tracking those sites have on them.
