Imagine them adding a basic server-side software next. Nothing can hinder the popularity of the current CS, but having another CS playable on primarily dedicated servers means mods, servers with their own communities, LAN parties etc.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 1 week ago:
A nitpick, but America won’t have Gitmo in that scenario tho. Displacing american people to random countries now is deeply rooted in the premise it’s okay to have a torture camp franchized over to places out of everyone’s sight. It wasn’t okay before and it’s not now, and serious country with some sense and a accountability would not employ such tactic.

- Comment on The Developer the Handheld Scene Depends On: An Interview With Gamma 1 week ago:
After an article on Songo#5 that one sounded a bit dry. Maybe that’s a side effect of prefering reliability over flashiness :) If there would be a second article about GammaOS, it wouldn’t hurt to flesh out the process down to specific challenges the dev overcame, just anecdotes evolving while testing and fixing stuff, or talk about how community members participated in the development of said project, what opportunities Gamma sees there. And, for a really unique kind of gear I haven’t heard of, I feel a bit puzzled as of what a second screen can bring onto the table when emulating single screen games, what other people came up with.
Btw, there’s a small typo in the Why the LineageOS? part, in image attributions concerning Fix/Fox person’s photoes.

Swirl is destfuctive like almost everything in raster graphics with recompressing, but unswirling it back makes a good approximation in somehow reduced quality. If the program or a code of effect is known, e.g. they did it in Photoshop, you just drag a slider to the opposite side. Coming to think of it, it could be a nice puzzle in an adventure game or one another kind of captcha.

Jitsi is great as a Skype/Zoom replacement. It’s not a ‘room’ on a server, but voice and video chats are stable and fast.

- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 3 weeks ago:
1.99 prices > 2.00 prices
Maybe I adapted to that with time, like .99 always felt like a scam pricing strategy, but for me everything involving number nine is worse than, say 1.20. Double nines are the worst. Flat prices with zeroes make me more confident and interested somehow.

- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 1 month ago:
Would there still be a 2x multiplier? PS3 was weird, but does it translate to future Sony systems too?
- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 1 month ago:
Some of those on PC are under Denuvo, are different versions than console releases, not to say PS5 plays PS4 games too.
One of my main gripes with PC releases is that they almost never translate offline co-op playability, from GTA San Andreas (yeah) to recent Borderlands titles.
Besides, I do love a chance to deny temporal/permanent exclusives and half-baked ports my money, not for I’d play them, but for Sony and the likes knowing this tactic is not working anymore.
Ah, and Bloodborne. I hated Dark Souls, but the drive of that game is wild.
- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 1 month ago:
I wonder if PS5 emulation would be less troublesome than PS3 due to it being closer to the regular PC iirc.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 1 month ago:
Probably not even general purpose GPUs, although we sucked it up when RT and Tensor cores were put on a plate whenever we like it or not. These though at least provided something to the consumer unlike NPUs.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 1 month ago:
SATA SSDs, if only there were floppy-like docks in PCs’ front panels for them. I see adding one usb-c female adapter as a part of the protective case, and adding a male one on the opposite end of the dock could’ve been the way, since modern USB ports have sufficient power and data capabilities. Adapter’s firmware could’ve signaled it’s nothing more than a big USB thumb drive, it can also be (made?) compatible with portable devices e.g. digital cameras, phones, etc to make it more useful.
