Yeah, I got a 14tb drive back in February and it’s 90 percent full already. My media collection will always grow to fill the space available.

Helium 3 is what we’re planning to use in fusion, that’s the point.

Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.

For me it’s near the top on the apps homepage. Looks like this
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 1 month ago:
I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.
Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.
My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.

YouTube music has something like this. You choose a few artists you like then tune the randomness of what it plays. I have discovered more new artists Ina few months of using it than I have in the decade before that.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 1 month ago:
MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.
It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.
- Comment on The Quest to Beat Trackmania's Hardest Tower Map 2 months ago:
I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.

Would it be possible to come up with an FPGA solution for things like that?
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 months ago:
I’m still ok with windows 10 and by the time it’s no longer supported, proton should be mature enough for me to make the jump with no regrets.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 2 months ago:
Replayed it last year and it was as good as I remembered. Windwaker is my personal favourite but LTTP is so close it might as well be a tie.

Hangon, shinobi and rampage were what I played the most.

- Comment on San Andreas ROM for PS2 has been taken down by Rockstar on Vimm's Lair 4 months ago:
Still on archive.org so I’m not worried but I still hate to see stuff like this happen because of the precedent that it sets.
- Comment on Data contamination expert 👌 4 months ago:
A tool like that would almost definitely require api access to function. If that was still possible, most of us wouldn’t be here having this conversation.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
In many other languages homophones are often spelled differently. Hiragana and katakana phonetic alphabets so homophones all have the same spelling.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
The Japanese alphabets are phonetic so all homophones have the same spelling. In your example all the words are spelled differently.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I had to はし (hashi) over the はし because I forgot my はし at home.
Same word phonetically, three meanings. With Kanji it’s easy.

- Comment on Stop Making Great Anime Into Terrible Video Games 4 months ago:
I remeber enjoying the Naruto gekitou ninja taisen games on gamecube. Everything since then has been in the ultimate ninja storm arena fighter format and is garbage.
- Comment on Florida Senate takes up bill banning kids from having social media accounts 4 months ago:
Every now and then, Florida does something I agree with. It’s always a surprise. Maybe also ban parents from making social media channels that exploit their children.
- Comment on Which option lads? 4 months ago:
Same here. I’ll take steps and in 10 years I’ll be set up to make more than the breathers even if I become a paraplegic.
- Comment on Which option lads? 4 months ago:
The average human takes 20000 breaths per day. For comparison, the average American take 4700 steps a day so steps actually win since the break even point is around 4000 steps.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 5 months ago:
I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.

It’s no more difficult that portal 2 was IMO.
- Comment on The big Portal 2 mod Portal: Revolution is out now on Steam 5 months ago:
If you managed to play through reloaded, revolution will be a wall in the park. I played through it yesterday and it’s great.
- Comment on MSI CLAW gaming handheld leaked, features Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with Arc graphics and 32GB memory 5 months ago:
I would love it if T8 could lock a solid 60fps on the deck. T7 fluctuates between 45 to 60 for me with everything set to low, not ideal for a fighting game.
- Comment on Best distro for linux gaming? 5 months ago:
I’m going to go against what others are saying and advise against the raspberry pi. If you are serious about ps2, ps3 and gamecube, the pi will struggle with more games than it runs well. Especially for ps3, you’ll want at least a 4c/8t CPU, preferably no more than 5 years old, anything less will struggle.

Data poisoning isn’t limited to just AI stuff and you should be doing it at every opportunity.

T7 has performance issues on the deck for me, I’m not hopeful for 8.
