It could probably use a review comparing with Planet Coaster 2.

I’m partial to a prickle of porcupines.

I’m with you.

Also great: Willow, Tombstone.

Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.

It’s a pity that its current custodian’s commercial licenses:

• are subscriptions
• are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
• have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project

This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won’t get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can’t help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.

Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

I wish we had generic links for posts and comments like we do for communities. It’s problematic in several ways to have to follow an URL like this one:

Looks like others have noticed the problem as well:

Yes, this is the way.

That misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.

Do note that I’m not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can’t, but in all cases, it’s an insultingly bloated pig of a port.

Sure.

Verified or not, I hope it doesn’t require a year’s salary of hardware and a nuclear power plant to run, like the first PC port did.

Disappointing that it doesn’t show anything at all without javascript.

I don’t follow Meta services, but for the record, I think you’re talking about the EU Digital Markets Act and its interoperability requirements of gatekeepers.

Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…

…by abandoning it.

Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.

Did you mean sycophants? Psychopaths? Something else?

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)

What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?

Also, units of fun earned while watching other people play.

One nice thing about an arcade is that you can see regular people (not streamers/professionals/actors) interacting with a game, and notice subtleties that aren’t represented in a bullet list or trailer video.
