Also been enjoying Pokopia and have totally fallen prey to the “I’ll just wander around and rebuild stuff” play style, completely ignoring the story until I feel like I have to get to the next zone.
10/10 would wander aimlessly spamming blocks with Pokemon friends in tow anytime. I can’t express how happy I am to have something to do other than beat the shit out of cute animals to capture them.
I really don’t have any problem with any of these types of achievements in general. Even the super basic ones that you get by starting a game are useful to determine what percentage of people who own the game have actually played it beyond the menu screen.
The best achievements are ones you get for being clever, skilled, or dedicated. Or when it’s an unhidden achievement for something you didn’t even know was possible. Like the BG3 achievement for saving the goblin Sazza - just seeing it was possible made my next play through more interesting.
I do appreciate long ending achievements, but only if they indicate a significantly different playthrough. Good ending vs. bad ending works when that’s the result of many decisions and not just an option you chose ten minutes from the end.
Eh, it makes sense for Steam share, this data is entirely gaming users. It would be a mistake to try to relate this to overall market share though.
I’m also generally skeptical, but the fact that it’s a coupon code and a token amount makes me think it’s legit. You shouldn’t need to give up any personal info to redeem a coupon.
Yeah, I picked that up, but is that so novel it can’t just be a layer on DBus or something? Again, I don’t know shit, it’s just rich IPC seems like a solved problem at this point.
This is cool, love to see the Haiku / BeOS lineage playing nice with Linux. The graphics stack is ripe for experimentation in the KMS/Wayland era, although I don’t have enough knowledge of the architectural differences to know why this makes sense as an alternate stack and not just a compatibility layer built into a Wayland compositor…
My dad likes Dire Straits, Clapton, The Police, Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison. I know a few more from what he’s told me later in life, but those were the casettes/CDs he had around when I was a kid.
When I was a teen I tried to introduce him to the Pixies, but he looked like I was making his ears bleed.
It was my mom that introduced me to Pink Floyd though, which is really the only musical common ground I have with my parents (although I will definitely get whiskey drunk and belt out Dire Straits on occasion, or sing along to Orbison).
Imo’s in St. Louis is my favorite overall. Thin, crispy crust, square cut, Provel as the base cheese. It scratches an itch that all other pizzas don’t. I’d eat it 7 days a week if I could, hot or cold.
I’ve had pizzas with superior ingredients, made in fancy ovens, served with wine instead of cold beer, but if I could get any pizza right now, it’d be Imo’s black olive or veggie pizza.
Not to be too much of a downer, but all of these cute Google search results and other “quirky” “fun” things billion dollar corporations do used to seem so harmless but now it just reads like a friendly logo on a baby mulching machine.
Oh, that’s interesting. It is pretty distinct.
Like the energy, but Comic Sans is also a war crime.
Depends on the players. Some want to play pretend. Some want to play XCOM with dice.
Another person of refinement and good taste, I see. Both gone way too early. I have been rationing Discworld since Pratchett died.
Btrfs has a bunch of features and is one of the contenders for the “next” filesystem. Ext4 is utterly bulletproof though and has good enough perf so it’s still your best bet unless you specifically want to use the advanced btrfs features.
Are you putting Linux on it, or are you looking to run MacOS?
If you’re doing Linux, doing a GCC cross tool chain (with a tool like crosstool-ng) should be a good start.
Oh, that makes more sense, but then “unsigned” void?
Okay, U8, sure, but a boolean is U0? Surely U1 if you absolutely must…
My God… Is the fact that boomers think '60s weed was mind altering proof of time incursions from the dank future???
Yeah, couldn’t care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.
Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I’d bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.
