• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re sitting at 71% (mostly positive) for a game they released as early access. If your studio can’t survive that kind of response, you don’t get to blame the fans, you’re not managing your company well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1000W does sound big enough for a 5090, but what about the other computer components?

  They’ll remember you for the rest of their lives.

  Looks like a skill issue. I didn’t see any of those things when I opened the link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your dog realizes that your leather jacket is the skin of another animal then it probably thinks you're a psycho.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If my dogs are any indication, they would wear a recently deceased squirrel as a coat, entrails and all, preferably dripping blood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune Awakening - Story Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an alternate timeline where Jessica had a daughter instead of a sun and Leto defeated the Harkoenens during their invasion, so Leto rules over Arrakis for the indefinite future, leaving space in the story for fetch quests and base building. Apparently the firemen disappeared too, so you have to solve the mystery.

  This must be what they’re talking about when they say “unnecessary escalation”.

  Yes, but they usually came at the same price.

  The ones about cancer were pretty sad, but some were hopeful too.

  This might be the saddest xkcd so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, he’s probably being disingenuous and likely has ulterior motives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

  Only a madman would try FTL without a quick pause, although I believe it can be remapped.

  As opposed to opium parties where casual friends meet and mingle?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you own a Steam Deck, Nintendo has some attractive value. Nintendo essentially has a monopoly on at least 3 genres of videogame. The entire library of Steam doesn’t really have a casual racing game that can go toe-to-toe with Mario Kart. The same can be said for almost any Mario game. Even if a Steam Deck had the games, you’d need 2 decks or an extra controller to get the Switch-style experience. Valve isn’t really trying to compete with the Switch on its own turf.

  This isn’t a shower thought, this is a political opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I’m going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead.”

  It’s a 60Hz vs 120Hz screen, and it’s got true 1080p resolution. It’s certainly on-par with the Steam Deck in terms of performance and performance per dollar. The price isn’t ridiculous by any stretch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2 oz vodka because much of the time, he was a spy with Russian adversaries and he wanted to blend in, also note that he doesn’t specify which vodka because he actually doesn’t care. 1 oz Gordon’s because beneath all that he’s a true red blooded Brit and he’ll always proudly drink British gin. Lilet Blanc because it’s not his money and he’s surrounded by wealthy people so he might as well buy the most expensive vermouth in the world. Shaken not stirred because he wants the drink to be cold, causing him to drink more slowly, and because it will water it down, meaning he will appear to be drinking more than he actually is and people will underestimate him. I can’t figure out any obvious subtext for the lemon twist, but it is a very classy way to have a martini. Call it a Vesper to memorialize his first love, and emphasize that he doesn’t and can’t have a life outside of being a spy, he’s condemned to this world.

  The Vesper is the best fusion of lore and a cocktail you could ever conceive and will never be topped.

  Python does not need to be compiled, have you ever used it?

  I don"'t like that solution because that means Huffman walks away with a golden payday instead of losing it all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3065: Square Units⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  By a square inch, they much mean a column of infinite height extending upwards. Saying they consume the grassy surface of Australia is a dramatic underestimate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is hard to make a sequel to the best game of all time, unless it is the new best game of all time. I’m not sure the extended dev time is the dominant issue here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 236 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes you feel like it’s really happening. You’re up North in the mountains, and you need to get back to camp to talk to a friend, so you ride your horse, and get stuck behind a wide carriage for a bit, and the trees are close to the trail for a while, so you can’t easily get around without getting a faceful of branches. One you start making it down the mountain, you find a nice looking deer and think “that hide would look great on some boots”, so you pull out your rifle to hunt. Unfortunately, you’re up wind, so the deer ran away very early on, but you couldn’t be deterred, so you chased after it, and eventually landed a good shot. You take the meat to the butcher, and he comments that he’s greatful you brought it in so fresh this time. You wonder why you ended up here, oh yeah, you wanted to go meet up with a friend, and it’s been over an hour and you’re just less than halfway there, so you look up at the sky and wonder how long it’ll take, it’s a very pretty sky at sunset, so you decide to make camp for the night.
