During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They'd give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.

10/10, would smash again.

Not sure if I'd call this "peril..." Call me a boomer, but if killing deliberately addicting feedback loops spells peril for the industry, then the industry has lost the plot.

Manager wasn't included

Nice try Mark, still not gonna use Snap

IDK man I'm a grown adult and I died 2,000 times before completing the game. I know I'm not the best player ever but giving it to a 5yo may lead to problems

Valve removed it because it used official N64 APIs that Nintendo holds as classified information. I think if it had totally been bottom-up crafted from scratch, it would have survived. But Valve does NOT wanna deal with a Nintendo lawyer.

Bruh COSMIC is looking unbelievable. I can't wait to see it in action. Is it still on track for 1.0 before the end of the year?

All Intel CPUs have a Management Engine, basically a smaller CPU within the CPU designed for controlling the rest of the chip. It's particularly good for things like IT management or devices because it operates with direct control over the other parts of the chip. This device's firmware is based on Minix.

I mean, Halo was originally called "Monkey Nutz," so I wouldn't put much stock in the game content relating to the codename

Lots of single-board computers. I think Pine64 has a RISC-V tablet coming out. And Framework, bless their souls, have floated the idea of offering motherboards for their laptops that are ARM64 or RISC-V. Let us hope and pray.

Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn't have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support

If you're really set on it, you could buy a Hyperkin Duke. That's a modern, officially licensed recreation of the OG Xbox controller with USB XInput support

I constantly harass my SO at dinner with "may I have one too, wife?" in the pathetic Hermes voice

32GB could be useful if the bandwidth is fast enough to be suitable VRAM, because then you can run games that want 16GB allocated to the CPU without having a GPU performance drop

Only in the US. In Commonwealth countries it's a slang for vulva

Yeah they used to ship Linux executables on the same disk for Unreal didn't they?

Might be a good way to run Photoshop if it's more compatible with Adobe apps than Wine

Honestly, if it had good drivers and proper UEFI support, I would use a laptop with a Mediatek CPU. Most of my workflow is either web-based or already supports ARM.

Ah yes, S. Oke Bomb. On of my favorite 19th century authors. Fun fact: his full name was Samuel Oklahoma Bombita!

Oh yeah. Top-quality master too. Sounds phenomenal

Ah, I must have misunderstood. At any rate, y'all are doing great and I can't wait for the final product.

Uh, you don't have to work at Google on order to do that. Most Chromebooks can be unlocked to work with Linux with a little bit of work. And you wouldn't be at risk of going to jail for that. Worst that could happen is you void your warranty. But it's not a "real crime" or anything like that.

It's live now. It was live last week, but it's still live now!

I have a 9510 that I use in my capacity as a MSSQL developer. Works great, except the touchpad randomly becomes laggy and sluggish. The solution is just to take your hand off the touchpad for 15 seconds, or just use a mouse, which doesn't have a problem.

Actually many modern electric cars are trying to get rid of FM radios because the electric motors can cause all sorts of interference (or so they say)

Yeah Sega of Japan, particularly Sonic Team, actively refused to provide STI (American dev team) with source code necessary to build the game

Even Halo 3, for all its faults ("to war" immediately springs to mind), kept everything largely within the world-building of the previous two games, and it made the whole trilogy feel super cohesive and immersive when played back to back.

ugh, now I'm marginally irritated after remembering that movie

In the USA, yes.

Yeah my friend and I had a dedicated server for a while. Super easy. They even have a Linux binary.

Halo does

Ever had Aldi brand Oreos? Slightly less sweet but I think I like em better

I had the Motorola Atrix 4G, the cousin of this phone on AT&T. Phone itself was fine but the software support was abysmal. It only ever got one OS update to 2.3 (they promised and reneged on 4.0), then released an updated Atrix 2 like five months later that was better in every way, cost the same, and DID get the update.

You jest but I would love a moden Quake reboot with a squelchy, organic NiN soundtrack

Dude the 3090 is a 24GB MONSTER of a GPU that cost $1500 USD when it came out

Yeah this actually feels pretty sane tbh

WHERE IS JA?!

Xfce already had Wayland support merged, no?

This sure is an interesting pivot for them. FFXVI must be doing rough
