- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 months ago:
I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn't ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn't truly become clear in the text, of course, but that's how I read this.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we're pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn't stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don't think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.

You need to toake into account that we're talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.
- Comment on Netris is an open-source cloud gaming platform with Stadia-like features using Proton 5 months ago:
Publishers will like a database because it can be modified. If they were forced to implement such a system (thus abandoning all 'sell the same game to the same person twice' for different platforms), they'd oppose a blockchain system hard, since it would make it pricier to:
a) publish seven bazillion versions of any given game
b) revoke ownership of games just because it's cheaper to do that than honor the deal they made with customers
c) correct any data-fuckups they will inevitably make because they went for the cheapest route possible to implement this, and it went pear-shaped from day 3 onwards - Comment on How would you decorate this room? 5 months ago:

Can we talk less about AI inevitably doing what AI always dies and fuck up and instead talk about the website that uses AI resources to dangle an even more juicy carrot in front of desperate people throwing away their money with the lottery?
- Comment on He is my evening nightstand duck, we get each other 8 months ago:
A duck walked up to my sleeping room stand and he asked the zombie next to the stand quak quak quak
"Hey, got any... sleep?"
Zombie in bed said that he did not but finally getting any would be really hot, so mind dimming your light?
The duck said "I might"
Then he collapsed on spot - Submitted 8 months ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 4 comments

- Comment on I love Home Assistant, but... 8 months ago:
I'm always very wary of systems that require a user to deviate as much from the "usual" structure almost all other services use. HAOS has really weird configs and "all the functionality" that presumably breaks when you use docker and don't have the supervisor for docker... well... If what HA did was the way to go... whi is it that tons of services use docker's rather powerful internal networking features just fine but HA of all things can't do that and requires weird addons that for some reason cannot live on any other system than a Debian with weirdly specific modifications (bye bye cgroupsv2)? This will break most other functionality of that host Debian. I mean... if only there was a widespread-way to provide a highly customized Linux kernel in an ephemeral environment that can just be plugged in and out of a host machine without changing the host machine itself.... Nah, can't have that, let's cause more overhead with a VM...
I'm not willing to make that kind of modifications to my whole setup just for HA and in the long run, this rift between "the way it's usually done" and "The HA-Way" will become bigger and bigger, causing more and more problems.
