Worked on a personal game for 7 years nearly every day. Signed with a publisher and gave up on the project the following year.

The same folks who made Bazzite also have Aurora and Bluefin. Those are general purpose distros with the same ideas as Bazzite, just less gaming stuff bundled in. The difference between the two is just the desktop environment (gnome for bluefin, kde for aurora).

But even though Bazzite is focused on gaming, it is still a pretty good distro for general use too. The same stuff that enables windows games to run on it also help run any windows program just as well, so it might be a good pick if you use any software that only runs on windows.

I’ve gone through all tabs of the eShop and don’t see any filter like that anywhere.

Is there any third party game on switch 2 that wasn’t on the first switch? Looking at the Nintendo store I can’t even tell.

As usual, if you want to make something for Mac, Apple requires you to make it FOR Mac, with several little things on top of just being able to run the game. And you need to pay Apple for the privilege of making something for their platform too.

Then there’s also all several tech stacks that they outright forbid even if it could run just fine. And many security layers you need to navigate and document in order to not got some random API call blocked that ends up breaking your whole code (something that you can’t even test properly because the blocks occur randomly and only when the game is downloaded from their [mandatory?] app store).

Most devs work with windows as their target platform and depending on their tech stack, supporting Linux might be as simple as running a separate build script (nowadays not even that as users can just figure out for themselves how to run the windows version of the game). Testing your game on your own mac (for a limited time) might be just as easy, but Apple adds so many extra layers to the process of releasing a game for their platform that in general it’s just not worth it.

There’s a bunch of people out there desperate for anything to play, but the best option for making your game run on macs these days is to add it to some service like GeForce Now.

Apple is constantly trying to shun gamedevs away from its platform, then from time to time they’ll be like “why won’t people make games for macs?” and do something like this to try to get them back, but shortly after it’ll go right back to screwing devs all over again.

And this is how I learned there’s a fantasy life game for pc now. The original was amazing, but then they switched to mobile for the sequel and I stopped following it.

So 7 hours on that battery would be approximately 5 hours on the deck.

I’ll download dead cells here to see how long the deck can run it in one charge, but I doubt it’ll reach anywhere close to five hours with the default settings.

Edit: I was wrong. Got six hours out of it even.

How big is the battery on the legion go? The deck’s battery drains so quickly I wouldn’t be surprised if it couldn’t last 7 hours even in the home screen.

Search WAS good when it was a simple search. Sites were indexed by the search engine and if you searched for the words you wanted to find, the results would be exactly that. In that context, it worked perfectly.

But the problem was that most people used search engines in a different way. They weren’t searching for specific content, but searching for answers to questions. And for that, search engines would only show results that had that same question and then you’d need to hope that the question had been answered.

Over time, search engines kept shifting into trying to better support the questions and answers format, making the basic content search worse as a result. Where we are now, neither or them works too well. Google is now better at understanding what people are trying to search, but worse at finding it.

AI is just expanding this with yet another layer: it might make Google better at understanding what you search and maybe even might be better at finding it than the engine is now, but it’ll add the ability to misinterpret the results too.

Honestly I’d be pretty happy if I had a simple indexed search again.

This is mostly so they can auto close support threads from “can’t get Autocad to run on it” to “system rebooted in the middle of a work presentation and I got fired, I demand compensation”

I was looking forward to seeing how the white house would be bitching about every little detail of this game, but it was delayed until after things will be much worse, I’m not sure anymore if it’ll happen.

Though I also wouldn’t put it past Rockstar to add a bunch of stuff to the game to try to please the crowds complaining about “woke”.

And the Ooblets dev was also the one who mocked people who lost interest in the game after it became epic-only - adding a second reason to skip it.

I’m enjoying Zen browser in general but still facing several issues with it from time to time. Nothing major, just small nuisanses here and there.

I use it alongside Vivaldi since I often have to be logged in into two different sessions for the same site and it’s just easier to have two browsers for that. Vivaldi is a lot more stable and so I use it as the main browser - but everytime it updates I need to modify a JS file to tweak something in the UI to make it the way I like it to be. When using vertical tabs + tab groups + two layers of tabs (one sidebar showing the tab groups and a second sidebar showing the tabs inside the selected group), the maximum tab width is applied to both sidebars together instead of individually, so I modify the JS file to double that max width. I’ve automated it by now but it still annoys me that I keep having to do this.

But I think Vivaldi is probably the only browser that even has the ability to show tabs in that way, so I can’t complain that much.

I did not expect to see the joycon working as a mouse and I imagine it’s probably very uncomfortable, but damn if it isn’t a genius move.

Nice! Earlier this year I skipped on a game I had been wanting for a long time, and I skipped it because of Denuvo. I might as well buy this one just to support the removal this time.

In theory, yes. In practice, dealing with games is not so straightforward. Even the steam deck’s “suspend” is still far behind the Nintendo switch’s. In some games (older stuff, usually) the games don’t get paused at all, or it pauses the image but keeps the sound playing, or even sometimes appears to work properly, but then drains your battery just as fast as it you were playing - suggesting it is still processing the whole game in the dark.

Are their printers bad? I haven’t even tried any in decades because their business practices are so awful, but I always thought that at the very least the printers themselves should be good.

Sadly, Brother’s printers might be going on the same direction now.

If the competition make some good portables, Valve will probably leave the hardware to them and focus only on the software.

Getting a bit tired of KCD2 by now, not sure what to play next. Might be doing some gamedev for a while instead.
