TL;DR it’s a generic corporate statement about how much theyre committed to the game and how it’ll be great, etc.

Nothing of value.

If we’re going by piracy logic then you can buy a $200 used Switch and hack it to download games for free. I genuinely don’t think a phone or tablet would ever be a good experience. nobody is going to play with touch controls, it doesn’t let you play games on the TV, the emulator has compatibility issues and bugs, not to mention how most phones throttle hard when they get warm. I’m not buying this discussion at all.

Android has Genshin Impact, GRID Autosport, Pascal’s Wager, Sky: Children of the Light, The Banner Saga Trilogy.

…So basically mediocre Android games and rare ports of older games. Nobody is buying a handheld console to play these.

Android has a couple high-profile indie games like Stardew Valley and some rare ports of older games, that’s it. I wouldn’t call it very good. and unless you’re willing to shell out $150+ for a great telescopic controller there’s no way playing on the tablet would be comfortable.

There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

You’re not really suggesting that playing mediocre android games on a touchscreen tablet is the same market as a handheld gaming device with controllers

For the record the devs said this game took eight years to make, and might’ve been pitched even earlier than that. I can’t imagine working on a project for a decade and releasing to… This.

Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.

I’m really going to miss his videos, but I’m glad he’s ending it on a happy note rather than dragging things on when he doesn’t want to. Godspeed, Tom.

I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed… I’m not going to copy-paste the article, it’s all relevant info.

Honestly you should just stick to Fedora.

Why?

Seems like a cool project, but with such weak specs what can one actually do with this?

Dall-E 3 is the easiest to use and usually understand prompts the best. You can use it for free via Bing Image Editor.

People probably said the same thing when Apple dropped PowerPC for x86, there’s going to be an awkward transition period but when it becomes a standard you’ll feel differently.

Who said anything about Linux becoming Windows?

Dunno, but I suppose you can use piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=98kFh3JpIXk

Dear god, I expected old memes but this is super vintage I don’t think most people would even know this

Reddit had ways to automatically catch people trying to manipulate votes though, at least the obvious ones. A friend of mine posted a reddit link for everyone to upvote on our group and got temporarily suspended for vote manipulation like an hour later. I don’t know if something like that can be implemented in the Fediverse but some people on github suggested a way for instances to share to other instances how trusted/distrusted a user or instance is.

But for real though, they had to know that having telemetry be on by default wasn’t going to look good for the open source community.

I’m for blocking Threads. I’m not for blocking instances that support Threads. That’s ridiculous, you’d just split the community and make the Fediverse irrelevant.
