What happened? Did they kick your dog or something?

The dev thought “I know exactly what you meant, but I still insist you to do it my way”.

The language thing sounds like real BS, but otherwise I haven’t had any of those issues in Firefox on Linux.

I’m still rocking an old 1080p plasma TV, but I probably would have noticed if good-looking shows like Severance, Silo, and Foundation were only rendering at 480p.

It does do this stupid thing where if I hit spacebar to pause, it will resume on its own about 4 seconds later. So I have to actually click on the video with the cursor to actually pause. So that’s annoying but nothing like a crash.

Yep, I’ve read a few of the others too. Excellent stuff!

You’re amazing. Format is great. I just scroll past the stuff that doesn’t interest me, but more often than not something catches my eye and I end up reading stuff I wouldn’t have clicked on (let alone waded through ads for) on a regular gaming site. That’s such a good feeling, and yeah, reminds me of the old days of flipping through gaming mags.

Hollow Knight isn’t exactly over when you finish the story. There are more fights, especially Godhome. If you can beat all that you’re an incredible player.

You probably know this but just wanted to make sure you’re not unintentionally missing out.

Oh cool. So is the banana added before cooking or after? Is image it could get rather mushy if cooked.

That sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.

Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!

Another confirmation that Endeavour is great with Steam. However I did have to follow the Arch wiki to install the correct Mesa drivers on my new PC (Radeon RX 7800 XT), as without those the GPU performance was crap.

Ugh I still run Ubuntu LTS on my living room HTPC, and generally it’s fine. But on the occasion I need to fix something, I swear every seemingly relevant forum post is from 2015 or earlier. It’s maddening.

Discordian!

More serious answer: I never had one to begin with. Why start now? All it seems to do is sow division.

Also, some words

Give me alchemy, give me wizardry

Give me sorcery, thermatology

Electricity, magic if you please

Master all of these, bring him to his knees

I master five magics

– Megadeth, Five Magics

If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.

Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos

Four is bad luck in Japanese superstition, because its pronunciation (‘shi’) is the same as the word for ‘death’.

So, I picked it by choosing 12^3 + 2. I wanted to start with something easily factored (power of 12) and not too small, but not interesting because of its factorization. And I wanted it to be even, since odd numbers tend to have funny quirks. So a simple +2.

What’s amusing is that I did this before looking at the Wikipedia page. According to that, the original number that inspired this paradox was 1729. So just by happenstance, I picked one integer higher than the original “uninteresting” number. Which I guess arguably makes 1730 interesting now (though admittedly not for mathematical reasons).

1730 seems pretty uninteresting to me, and that hasn’t changed after taking a few minutes to check if there’s anything that makes it less than dull.

I don’t disagree with you. But don’t you think there’s a component of it that’s like, “Hey I want to both 1) release a game and 2) put food on table”? Since 99% of players are on Windows, actually doing both kind of necessitates building for Windows first.

As Linux gamers I think we should keep going in the direction we’ve been and making it easier and easier for devs to port to Linux or run their games through Proton and so forth. It’s been amazing and my time as a player has been so good in the last couple years. If we keep showing that, more players will come over and the userbase will grow. I’ve heard from plenty of others who have ditched Windows, because gaming was their last holdout.

The big AAA publishers aren’t struggling for basic needs. We can make demands of them. But the small inside devs? Help 'em out where you can.

I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I’d do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.

The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don’t want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.
