There is absolutely no way they’re selling it for less than $400. Whoever said that has absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.

They told LTT that they were planning to price it competitively with entry-level PC’s, not consoles

Don’t start the dress argument again

And snortable!

Define “fine”.

If your standard is 30fps, not particularly good latency, and 1.5hr battery life then yes, they’re fine.

If your standard is 60 fps and >3hr battery, then no, they are not fine.

My preference is stable 60fps and >3hr battery, and I have yet to see a 3D game do that well

Agreed. Death Note is a thiller series, not horror

Few of these are horror anime, and it’s largely a copy/paste of big-name anime over the years. Who the hell thinks Hellsing is a horror anime? Or Akira? Or Berserk? There’s nothing scary in them, they’re just action anime.

Where’s Mieruko-chan? Or Happy Sugar Life? Those are legit horror anime.

While I love my Steam Deck, I always give the caveat that it’s best for 2D-rendered games. While it can run 3D games, it doesn’t do it particularly well and has terrible battery life while doing so. Meanwhile every 2D game gets great performance and 3-4 hours of battery even on the oldest Steam Decks, and that’s not going to change anytime soon

But, it’s not focused towards gaming.

Except it is

One reason people may dislike secret rolls is you can’t be sure the GM isn’t just lying to you.

But how do they know what the DC is?

Personal anecdote, but I’ve had Microsoft apps like Outlook and Teams crash on me on 4 different days this week while at work. Is anyone else getting similar instability issues?

still I’d code something to manage it all if I were you (and had the possibility to do so ofc)

You’re continuing the exact problem I described. Quit. Dictating. To. Me. How. My. Code. Should. Work.

“Best practice” is a fucking guideline. You can’t bilndly apply it to every single situation and expect it to work all the time. There’s always exceptions and nuance that must be accounted for, and the people that refuse to ackowledge that are fools.

Go find someone else to gaslught, jackass.

Agreed. Evangelion was a goddamn mess

Try watching One Pace, it’s a fan edit of the series that gets rid of filler and stretched scenes. It ends up reducing the overall runtime by 40% and keeps the quality up

Well you’re not wrong, but man, you’re hating the screwdriver because you work in a bolt factory.

Like I said, the problem with OOP advocates is that most of them are calling for bolts to be destroyed in this analogy. If they weren’t so fanatical about it we wouldn’t be havining this conversation.

what’s that code that has thousands of variables that cannot be organised?

It’s not a random example. I can’t go into detail, but it’s the code I work on on a daily basis. It’s a physics model for industrial equipment. Highly customizable for customers, and I need to know exactly where various sub assemblies are located and be able to move them in various configurations.

And scripts doesn’t “fix” the problem. It’s more that using functions is infeasible due to the difficulty in cramming everything into input arrays, so scripts end up being orders of magnitude more efficient to work with. The scripts are all called from a function, which does allow us to interface with other groups or our own custom GUI.

I appreciate the Baka to Test deep cut

Unless you know the hours on a drive, you might get brand new ones, or you might get ones with 50k hours on them. They may also be from the same batch, which isn’t ideal for data durability.

If it helps, my strategy is to use RAID6 to handle up to 2 drive failures, and apart from the initial 4 drives needed to initially create the array, I just add another when I need more space. Then even if I get drives with sequential serial numbers, they’re going to have differing amount of life used.

Also, always keep a couple spare drives for quick swapping. Especially with RAID6 given how long rebuilding the array can take

While the concept has it’s uses as a tool, the fallacy that OOP advocates fall into is overusing it.

I’ve seen many people completely swear off of using scripts, which is absolutely ridiculous. While you may use some tools more than others, swearing off an entire code structure for no reason is ridiculous.

Say there’s a module of code you need to write that has hundres if not thousands of variables that come into play in combinations that would be extremely difficult to organize as functions. You’re then stuck with passing all those as inputs and outputs between functions.

Sure, you could organize all those variables as a giant array and pass them around as one big block, but at that point you’re just emulating the shared workspace that you get with scripts, and you’d just be better off working with scripts from the start.

The issue with OOP is that it completely ignores this reality and insists that nobody should ever need a script, and if they think they do then they just aren’t clever enough.

+1 for unlearning OOP

It’s a cult

Thank you for the feedback

What are you considering buying?

Mainly just the HDD’s. I already have a server, but having a bunch of extra drives for cheap is really tempting, especially since I haven’t filled out all of the bays

I have yet to get an online service to accept the gift card I purchased for thus
