“$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.

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

Can you please articulate why Python and Bash are so different in your eyes?

You might have a career as a Halo 3 e-sports pro then!

Yes, that is the problem I wanted to acknowledge, thank you for clarifying.

What a shit take. Excuse me while I go play Hollow Knight again…

My comment stands

I just want to pause a moment to wish a “fuck you” to the guy who named an AI model “Cursor” as if that’s a useful name. It’s like they’re expecting accidental google searches to be a major source of recruitment.

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.

This fills me with an overwhelming feeling of societal instability.

Always follow best practices, make sure you cleanup by deleting the hello world bash file!

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.

It’s absolutely not just a gaming problem. Movie reviews are getting more and more bandwagon-y. Only a few reviewers post in the first day or two, and everyone else says “okay, they hated it, now I have to hate it too or I’m going to lose credibility”. I think it’s the inevitable outcome of having less famous reviewers, a NYT columnist can post what they feel, but a small blog can fall into obscurity if they have one contrarian review.

The only part that’s unique to gaming is that gamers are the most toxic community in the internet.

Pfft! You sound like an Octopus pretending to be a real dad, you can’t fool me!

Step 1. I’m certain it’s caching

Step 2. After evaluating all the caches, it’s definitely not caching.

Step 3. oooohhh, it’s not ram caching, it’s file caching

Step 4. I checked all those files, they’re definitely not caching anything unsafe.

Step 5. Oh, it’s the other files that are caching.

This is a pretty standard affair for open sourced games.

CAN being the critical word here. If you use tools like pydantic, then yes, typing can be strictly enforced, or as most people use it, you can type only what you want to type.

Python 3.11 onwards can basically be a fully statically typed language, which is a pretty dramatic change in where you spend most of your time. Python 3.13 allows you to do multi threading as a compiler option, we might see native multi threading in 3.14 or 3.15 (or maybe that’s a 4.0-worthy feature honestly)
