• literally any foss player vs. what MS offers - be it VLC, SMPlayer, MPV, anything is better than windows built in crap

FFMPEG is an open source command line tool and software library for audio and video encoding. You’ll find it mentioned in the credits of just about any video playing software ever, but you can also just go use it for free.

I like GIMP but find Inkscape impossible to use

I learned how to count to 10 and a few other random bits of Korean in Tae Kwon Do class.

Obligatory “fuck Notch” but I really liked the idea of 0x10c when it was announced.

That’s not an outlandish amount of storage. You can get more than that for $200.

Oh whoops got the instructions mixed up

You can’t gift, sell, share, or play that game on a new device once the servers shut down.

Open in GIMP. Create a new image of the same height and width. Copy the original image and paste on top of the new image. Export the new image as jpeg.

I know it’s a hassle but that process should absolutely make sure to remove any colorspace or hdr nonsense that is getting messed up.

I’ve worked on a library that’s Python because the users of said library are used to Python.

The original version of the project made heavy use of numpy, so the actual performance sensitive code was effectively C++ and fourtran, which is what numpy is under the hood.

We eventually replaced the performance sensitive part of the code with Rust (and still some fourtran because BLAS) which ended up being about 10x faster.

The outermost layer of code is still Python though.

It lacks the main benefit of a digital game: not needing to keep the card with you.

It lacks the main benefit of a physical game: not needing an internet connection, which also means these fake cartridges will stop working once servers shut down

It captures the vibe of having a physical card, which I appreciate, but that’s about it. Otherwise it’s worthless.

I certainly won’t lol. I’m actually running a custom build of the mobile app with some tweaks.

Built on Moonlight! That’s what I use already lol.

Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.

The Lego website had a huge collection of games.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

Honestly $80 price tag on new game is not that bad. The $60 standard has not kept up with inflation.

Everything else though … paying to use the better performance of the new hardware for games like Zelda, paid advertisement demo app, lack of OLED on an HDR console, especially when the previous gen had OLED, same faulty joystick technology, dedicated subscription service ad button on the controller…

What about fictional or ancient religious swears?

• by the power of Ra!
• may Zeus grant mercy
• by Grabthar’s hammer!
• thank Thor

When I’m in a gaming VC I sometimes swap in setting-appropriate swears.

What about political figures?

• thanks Obama

What about cringy internet/gaming references?

• God damn -> mods ban
• thank god -> thanks chat

A) Some people are really really bad at noticing AI slop. I’ve seen some really obvious AI generated images with people debating if it’s real or not. Unless those comments were AI and I’m the one who can’t tell…

B) Honestly even good AI generated content should come with a disclaimer IMO.

Huh? My actual GameCube controller works with all games on the Switch 1, although it doesn’t have all the buttons used by some games.

In particular it would be absurd if this new GameCube controller doesn’t work with Smash Ultimate.

Can confirm I did it like 3 times before I just started installing 3rd party Hall effect switches.
