Even with the $60 price tag for each these three are half of what they are asking for a year.

Yeah, it’d be cool to have a non-purely-fighting MK. Beat em ups and action-rpgs of Platinum come to mind. This could be neat releasing today.

After rather simple but fun cabaret minigames in Yakuza series I started to wonder if Fallout:NV could’ve had a casino management sim sewn in it’s storyline. Opening Tops to the public and operating it from the given appartments, finding staff, exploring the needs of Vegas’ visitors could have been nice to further explore the difference of life on the Strip vs the wastelands, even as it’s own game akin to Shelter.

And now a lot of the same shit is documented on video a couple of clicks away from where this boomer consumes content. I gave up on seeking morbid shit like an edgy teen a long time ago, but just regular news feed on telegram, reddit and the likes frequently brings up NSFW content. It’s still spring but I remember at least a couple of clips this year of kids playing stupud games to their end I saw on the surface-level internets.

To be fair, they edited in the Microslop logo and also the Firefox icon, making a crying fox look like a narcissist hugging it’s own image, that is not completely out of blue with their recent shitty decisions

Hey, Niko!..

1. It has it’s DRM implementation, that, albeit weak and useless, was designed to manage what you can or cannot plug these cords into, e.g. capture cards. That’s probably an advantage for Sony and others.
2. HDMI specs are <10m or bust, so for big rooms or video prod on HDMI you need amplifiers. They may be included in the cord itself, but that makes it one-directional, lol.
3. Not to say that HDMI cords are expensive and you also can’t press their ends to the lenght needed yourself, unlike what you can do with SDI cords.
4. No mechanisms preventing them against just popping out from the socket. Anecdotally, I think there’s something weird with their construction maybe, that in my experience made metal connectors suddenly come off completely around 5 times this year, while no other connectors suffered that faith, even dumb VGA that are prone to have their pins wrecked.
5. HDMI is rigidly limited to what it can with what standard and has no interesting things going for it imho, at least no daisy chaining multiple displays one after another that DP can.

Yup.

Wine for Android hasn’t seen too much work in recent time. Back in 2024 was talk of Wine on Android with DXVK/VKD3D-Proton plus FEX for running Windows games on Android but not too much on that “Cassia” effort since. Going back over a decade were original efforts to get Wine on Android and running Solitaire as an example.

The answer is: It’s basic, Windows/Android-looking, and it’s not Ubuntu with snap and shit

And for me it was right. I left it after some time with it, when it served as a comfortable middleground for a Windows escapee. I needed it to feel security in my pretty extreme choice, not to bounce back in the first weeks. Only then I felt like I’m staying there and can explore different things and actually know what I’m looking for.

At first, Mint gave a relief in having a simple visual software manager (~app store) that had both regular versions and flatpacks, where I first encountered the critical difference between the ways you can install the same app and underlying mechanics of dependancies etc. Then I got to know app images, that are less android-like and more windows-like in a sense you download executable files and fire them up. Having some problems and needs I started to google around, saw frequent mentions of archwiki, AUR, pacman, etc, and it just went on.

But for a little while I feared it’d be a neverending challenge, it was comforting to know, that it would just work on the basic level, for browsing, surfing web, playing games. And that I can then pick my challenges to serve my needs. Like a safe zone where most MMOs put their newbie players at first to learn the basics.

Well, no, but the amount of browser-based apps due to their convinience in development is stupid.

Video. If there is something mindlessly excessive, it’s always video. And if you have tree leaves for budget, instead of slightly more expensive hardware controllers or PCIe cards that can combine multiple inputs and outputs, and do it right, you default to cheap usb dongles per device used, and compose them on software level. If you collect inputs from several devices and output these to something like displays on a scene, while also collecting audio from mics, DJ deck, and outputting these too, numbers add up quickly. This clownshow is further expanded by unreliable software, usb power limits, Microslop Windows in most cases - because pros use it or Mac, no penguins. I have no pride in greatly exceeding what some random PCs could predictably do, for fixing random errors here and there when USB and USB hubs hit their practical ceiling is just another level of Dante’s hell, for all us time- and harware-restricted tinkerers.

So having to redo that three times was… annoying…

You are in for a little trolling. Notice the moment when you see the opening title screen for the first time. You haven’t seen it yet (:

Game won’t let you miss anything or lock you from content for any reason. I can only suggest you to look out for materials you see in the wild, as you’d need a lot of them. Have a nice time with it!

Idk. I’m criticizing it and am not a person to use it. If anything, I’d like to read human-made guides myself. But, yeah, if Cortana/CoPilot would do anything, it would be just a neuro summary of first links on Google that you can get by voice inputting prompts. MS has no technology to insert itself into every new game in any way but with this crude and slightly context-aware voice assistant it can output a summary of these links, however correct they are.

In a Hello Google kind of way, I guess. Creating a summary of existing web pages, hoping it would be somehow correct.

I think that there is a niche for platform-provided guides like on Steam. They’d probably not be user-created on consoles tho because of a potential liability for what 69_gamer_420 wrote, but either game studios themselves or existing 3rd parties could’ve created a web app to serve their guides in the overlay or integrate these into the game itself (prerecorded ghost-players?). If it could have been put as a standard accessibility feature by Microsoft, I could see it happening. And I find it more probable than a genuinely helpful chatbot because of too many dependencies on context in each and every game. I’ve already got unasked advices on a few games that boiled down to using mechanics not present in exact games I was googling about.

Look at the bottom. The golden thing is a top of a basic orthodox church. It’s ex USSR.

China has also implemented the world’s most stringent standards for battery safety. They require automakers to ensure that batteries don’t catch fire or explode for at least two hours after a single cell enters thermal runaway. If it does go ablaze, Chinese automakers are experimenting with some unusual ways of protecting the car and occupants from the battery fire.

I like it way more than charging speeds. But also - I’m interested in how many recharge cycles they supposedly can live through, and that’s not in the article.

Never tried it, but am starting to consider it (:

A similar legal fate happened to NOLF as well: https://youtu.be/1eDs93O-5ck

I do agree it’s limited to a small scope of New York-based smaller LLMs, but if you read the news you know why exactly this bill occured - just now Mamdani gave up on a useless chatbot made with local budget by his predecessor Adams: https://www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/30/mamdani-unusable-ai-chatbot-budget/ It was indeed giving inaccurate legal recomendations on city’s website. I think the better result that can happen to that bill is it becoming a trend across cities and states as, I suspect, New York administration wasn’t the only one falling for this scam.

That, the goofy beartrap headshot, and the fact it was put together in DaVinci Resolve instead of Adobe and the likes 🙄

My re-spec online classes started by installing VS Code and connecting it to user’s own GitHub repository that was then used to upload homework in Jupyter notebook format. It was pretty streamlined, that is good when you want to fast-forward into making students write their own first code lessons, leaving off technicalities, but there we didn’t heard a word about if any of these three choices are necessary to start coding. I only recently got interested enough to research other options, at the same time I left Windows as a default OS. I’m not sure any of my classmates would tho until something critical happens, and for many this pipeline is probably what they are still using by now.
