I think both work since opus is the codec but ogg is the container, but personally I’d probably go with .opus because it’s more descriptive.

Btw Apple’s ALAC and AAC files are typically stored in an mp4 container but with the m4a extension to mark it as intended to be audio only (although it may have a video track, which usually is used for album art).

Yes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.

Also ALAC is a free and open source codec which also has wide support.

And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion.

So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.

Apple made ALAC as an alternative to FLAC due to the dubious licensing around FLAC at the time.

For what it’s worth, the two people I know who are playing this game were fans of the previous games and absolutely love the new one.

Sunshine captures the screen at whatever its native resolution is, and streams it to Moonlight at whatever resolution is requested by Moonlight.

If you are trying to dynamically change the resolution things are rendered at, thats not going to be easy. Sunshine might not be the right tool.

My Ender3v2 always has some new problem to deal with. It’s cheap but it’s a pain in the ass.

DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

That depends on the specifics of the black hole you are falling into. It could be over in the blink of an eye, or it could be like one of those medieval torture machines. The main difference being the mass: a smaller black hole would kill you faster.

Imagine you are falling, but someone hooks something onto your feet, and attaches it to a rocket that shoots downwards at a speed far faster than you are falling at, so fast that it rips your legs off.

That’s what spaghettification is. One part of your body is being pulled in so much harder than the other part of your body that it rips you apart.

Game looks neat but do the devs know what “mirth” means? Weird title.

The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.

I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

What is the “executable” in this context? I’m kinda confused as to what you are looking for.

What’s wrong with parsing the input files at runtime? Is it performance? Do you want one file to load instead of multiple?

Many have suggested pickle, which is kinda what you are asking for, but on some level it’s not much different from parsing the input files. Also, depending on your code, you may have to write custom serialization code as part of getting pickle to work.

Note that pretty much every modern game is a bundle of often multiple pieces of executable code alongside a whole bunch of separate assets.

Similar to a car crash, you are generally safer in your padded engineered metal box than being thrown out of it, or thrown around inside it.

It’s like the difference between dropping a carton of eggs vs a bunch of loose eggs in a box.

The entire state of Massachusetts is full of psychopaths

I’m already paying to play Smash Bros and Mario Maker online, so I might as well.

I’d much, much rather have these in a form I could purchase or, on a bigger streaming service, but this is something at least.

I do appreciate some of the neat gaming-specific features it has, like spoiler prevention (hiding songs you haven’t encountered yet) and looping tracks cleanly for extended periods of time.

Yes but you don’t have anything to make power to charge it :/

Tbf Divinity: Original Sin 2 did not come anywhere near BG3 levels of popularity. The difference between those can really only be attributed to the value of brand recognition.

This sounds really cool! I’d probably give it a try if I had a group to play with.

I don’t believe everything on the internet is a lie (although of course I don’t believe everything on the internet is true either). You have to read it and judge for yourself.

In the case of getting medical advice, there is an inherent bias to finding anecdotes on the internet. The people who post are going to be the people who have something to say. That’s going to be either people who had a life changing positive experience, or who have something to complain about. The middle-ground experience is underrepresented.

However, there is value in anecdotes. The doctor can tell you high likely a given side effect might be, but people on the internet might have a better description of what that experience is like.

I try to take in as much information as I can when I am making an informed decision, including things like asking my doctor, finding anecdotes on the internet, and finding actual scientific papers.
