Thats just belgians in a nutshell. They tend to be very closed off, they will never say what they think to peoples face

I disagree, hard. Wallonia has the ardennes with is more than a camping spot. A family trip there for a week is sweet. Waking up in the hills, only seeing trees and hear water and birds is heaven. Sit by the pool if its hot 👌
Then there is night sky photography, hiking paths, monuments, caves, … - Comment on I believe him on a factual level, but not on an emotional level. 4 weeks ago:
Jokes on you, its both!

You know damn well they wont :p
Imo the oldunreal people should have gotten access to post the original games on the store for publishing. The games still get small updates from the community from what i noticed when i got the linux versions going - Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
He isnt wrong. This comes from somebody who technically uses ai daily to help develop ( github copilot in visual studio to assist in code prediction based on the code base or the solution ), but AI is marketed even worse than blockchain back in 2017. Its everywhere, in every product, even if it doesnt have ai or has nothing to do with it.
There is shit like microsoft recall, apple intelligence, bing co pilot, office co pilot, …
All of those are just… Nothing.
There are also chatbots which bring nothing new to the table either.
Everyone and everything wants to market there stuff with ai and its disgusting.
Does that mean that current ai tech cant bring anything to the table? No, it totally can, but 90% of ai stuff out there is, just like linus says, marketing bullshit. - Comment on 10001 3 months ago:

- Comment on PayPal implements default data sharing with third parties: users must manually opt out 3 months ago:
Ye, i dont know how it is worldwide but here in west europe paying online with your bank is just like paying with paypal. The only advantages paypal has over my bank is its return policy and it technically not directly linking the purchase with my personal info.
I havent used paypal in a while tbh… - Comment on PayPal implements default data sharing with third parties: users must manually opt out 3 months ago:
Thanks, i was thinking id need to go check them later today and that it was kinda illegal. Now i can be rest assured its fiiine
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 4 months ago:
I hate discord a lot, but this feature kinda destroys the reason discord exists. We used to have irc which is direct communication and needs both systems to be online ( yes, bouncers exist, but they arent perfect ). We moved away from irc so systems didnt need to be online and it was all in the cloud. Direct communication/file sharing from pc would kinda revert all that lol
( lets gooooo, bring irc back :p )

Fyi, she euh, stepped down from youtube in feb 2023. She had nothing to do with youtube in the last year :')

- Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 6 months ago:
Thanks!
That was hilarious to see, and the player was good. He went into defensive mode on the second round on the first game, and in the second game he went into faking attacks to trigger reactions and punish when responding wrong. Loved it haha
- Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 6 months ago:
Thanks! I will take a listen at that video! I imagine in sf3 it could also have been obvious with the parry system
- Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 6 months ago:
Right, so basically things that decent skills would also get you?
Also, if you feel being aggressive doesnt help you, you start playing defensively and thats when you can strike back. Cheats or not, it still has to attack and is still stuck on the frame limits of the move right? Thats when you can strike back, no?Im not saying cheating isnt bad, and im not saying its not annoying either, but in general fighters are different and they are completely skill based unless the cheater changes things that the other can never do.
Pretty sure ive fought cheaters back in the day in sf4 before, but that was never that bad because i still had options to fight them back… - Comment on Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat 6 months ago:
How would cheating in a fighter even look like? Those games are mostly about reading your opponent. Unlike a fps or moba, all info is on the screen etc :/
- Comment on AMD delays its Ryzen 9000 launch due to unspecified quality issue — new launch in August; chipmaker pulls back all units shipped globally for quality checks 6 months ago:
Ah, you meant original release date of the amd cpus.
Ye, makes sense.
I personally think they wanted to verify to have no issues in their cpu’s because intel is kinda euh… In a very bad state atm haha. You dont want to be part of that right now xD - Comment on AMD delays its Ryzen 9000 launch due to unspecified quality issue — new launch in August; chipmaker pulls back all units shipped globally for quality checks 6 months ago:

- Comment on GCNET Is A GameCube Network Adapter That Fits In Your Console's Memory Card Slot | Time Extension 6 months ago:
I… Dont know why this exists.
Ive been aware of a few ethernet projects for gamecube and none of them makes sense to me.
None of them use a custom chip/interface and require special code in software.
On top of that, none of them have merged the code into libogc (the open source gamecube homebrew library i help maintain ).
If i were to make a project like this, i’d use a mcu ( pi zero? ) together with a ethernet controller. The mcu would expose the same interface the official bba would, so even games could use it out of the box.But hey, what do i know, right?

- Comment on Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week 7 months ago:
As somebody who has worked a bit with a few microsoft bound teams : it has to do with the teams and their managers.
Some teams were a treat to work with and are completely open to my comments or questions, and ready to serve the user’s needs.
Other teams are terrible. They dont respond, they do whatever the fuck they want or what their managers tell them and pump out garbage that makes no sense to the users.
Dotnet clr, refit, fluint ui blazor, …
All nice teams. Fluentui ( webcomponents ), wpf, parts of windows teams, … Not so much - Comment on EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones 7 months ago:
I said the same to a coworker this week. If i were to be part or manage an illegal ring like csam, id make my own protocol/app that just uses encryption. Youre already doing illegal shit, go one further so you dont get caught

- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 8 months ago:
Ye, the sm64 was just a jit emulation, you are correct there. Not gonna deny that either. The sms and smg emulations are interesting and impressive though. They basically use a combination of jit compilation and aot compilation to basically take in the rom and adjust code as they go, but its technically running +/- natively if i read the switchbrew wiki page correctly. I find that impressive, from a technical standpoint.
Could they have added more and do more changes? Yes, ofcourse. Im not saying the fan made stuff isnt impressive, it is and i love it!
But for nintendo, who strives to create new experiences and things, not rehashing older stuff, is why they kept it basic. For them adding that stuff doesnt make sense as the game doesnt add new enough experiences. They dont care if a bug is fixed or graphics are improved. Those dont get you new experiences or gameplay mechanics. Thats what nintendo strives for.Again, if that is a good stance to have as a company i leave up to others to make opinions on, thats not up to me to decide or voice my opinion on ^^
Fyi, since you seem to know what youre talking about, nintendo’s r&d have used open source projects before internally and we assume it is done to look at older games and see how they worked or if they could be used to make projects like sm3d ( without doing what the license doesnt permit )

Haha, i kinda expected it tbh. The internet hates nintendo and doesnt know how they operate internally. Still wanted to make the comment, as it is needed.

Has nothing to do with their closed eco system. They basically did similar stuff with some of the stuff in the sm3d collection thingy.
Nintendo is a company that only wants make new stuff, innovations.
For example, they ( mostly miyomoto ) has been quoted to not understand that people want another f-zero, as the game’s principals and ideas have been fully flushed out and no new ideas could make it feel like something new.
They also usually dont do remakes/remasters unless its so new/different it can be considered a new game ( see metroid 2 on 3ds ).If that is a smart business position to have, i will leave for you to decide, but do get your facts a bit straight :)
