8 year-old me was stuck on that mission for ages, among many others. Nowadays I can reliably jump the bike up on top of the train and get it done before the end of the first tunnel

Easily San Andreas on the PS2. I still go back and play this game at least once a year

Yeah I’ll pass

CRPG has been around for decades. That’s like saying you’re not adding FPS or RTS to your vocabulary

COD4-Black Ops 1 was a solid run

As someone who works with this framework for a living, don’t learn it on your free time. It’s absolutely worth learning vanilla Java, but you can learn Spring Boot on the job

If an indie dev stuck with PS2 style graphics they could pull off something at least on the scale of Vice City. A lot of OG GTA fans, myself included, would be thrilled to see a game like that

PS2-era Rockstar would be ashamed

There are plenty of handhelds to fill that niche, the issue is they’re too underpowered to handle most games released in the last 15 years

Look at the mods people pull off for used Thinkpads. Where there’s a will, there’s a way

Hold up, they’re releasing an OLED version????

That’s a dangerous niche to operate in. It’s a userbase that wants pure freedom and randomness. But as a business you can’t have middle-aged men trying to see underaged girls naked. As a teen I frequented Omegle and Chatroulette but we’re well past the Wild West days of the web

But that was the lifeblood of Omegle from the start

I mean i don’t know if I’d describe a platform where perverts jerk off in front of kids as one with conscience but it’s 2023

I used to use Omegle, that’s so sad. I saw a few years ago they turned to a more closed off model whereas it used to be more open and random. Maybe that had something to do with it

Qrd? (Quick rundown for boomers)

I play a lot of older AAA games and piracy has been a life saver. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed 4 with a legit steam copy and couldn’t even play offline because of the stupid Ubisoft launcher. With a pirated copy, you skip the launcher and get a better experience than a paying customer. Just stick to reputable groups like fitgirl and you’re fine

I’d love to play this but I’m not downloading over 100 gigs just to play one game. Storage is limited on my Steam Deck and my potato laptop probably won’t run the game

It’s not so bad. I’m just a lowly webdev and my work with Java is mostly just basic CRUD operations

I write Java for a living and the places I’ve worked have used Lombok to cut down on the boilerplate code
