I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.

Unless they can make Proton performance work emulating both the windows environment layer and a different CPU arch then I’d be very surprised to see this happen.

Switch 2 is selling at a faster rate than Switch 1 did at this stage in its lifecycle. The OG Switch is on track to be the best selling console of all time.

I’d imagine that this is entirely happening because xbox has collapsed amongst Microsoft loudly conceding this console generation and heavily suggesting future support for their consoles will be limited. This is catastrophic in an era when many people buy digital copies of games and do not want to be locked in to a dead platform. I bought a 2nd hand Series S as a budget console but will only buy games for it on deep discount or if they have a low sticker price; the result of that has been that it has turned into a retro games platform for me to play SSX3 and the old Dead Or Alive games.

PS5 Pro is too expensive for limited gains while the market for the OG PS5 will be saturated by this point. I’d guess that the release of GTA6 will increase sales next year though.

Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion

My pixel 1 phone was fine. Went back to Samsung after that though.

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

Does seem like being funny helps with running for president these days

One reason is that the coreutils in Linux use a lot of hacky or hard to read tricks to improve performance. OpenBSD explicitly wanted to make their source code more legible. FWIW I prefer the Linux approach.

Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many “dream jobs” have this issue.

It was like 5 years ago but I heard a family friend working there was making 27k as a mid level dev.

Maybe they are just a company… Idk how people even developed a parasocial relationship with it

I believe there is also a flag for portage -g I think that will download the binary for any package.

I suppose the argument for fun would be from people who enjoy tweaking USE flags and other things but only on specific packages or have a very low-end PC which cannot compile much.

You could have a kernel-bin installed then spend endless amounts of time tinkering replacing glib with musl (which seems popular on IRC lol).

Install Gentoo <— used to be a meme

In the past few years it has become much more user friendly. The install process is very similar to installing Arch, pretty much copy/pasting commands from the wiki (which is even easier if you SSH into the install media from another PC/phone).

The kernel used to require configured by hand so that only relevant drivers were installed for your system; nowadays there is a full fat kernel like you would get with another distro that requires no configuring, called gentoo-kernel-bin.

There are system profiles that cover the widest variety of CPU architectures of any distro to my knowledge. It used to even support extremely old archs before certain core python packages started needing rust as a dep.

Complex apps like Firefox and Rust both have binary versions in the package manager so you don’t need to spend a long time waiting for them to compile on an old PC.

Obviously, won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but if you are a bit adventurous it is an option.

I’m not sure the strategy of hiring someone who has personally injected every single drug into his veins at some point in his life to be health chief was ever going to work out.

At least they should give him all the diseases too so we can see if the drugs work!

This seems like a problem that will self-correct. The way Schrier has phrased the headline makes it sound like the industry is a monolith with a comitee leading it.

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

I hope they don’t nerf anything else. I was grinding through Sister Sledge (or whatever the boss is called) and I’d nearly done it. Then patch 1 came out and I did it first time. I feel robbed of the achievement.

Tweaking the rosary economy is ok however there is a clear lore reason why it is less generous initially.

Idk either tbf. Maybe being pessimistic is the smart move here.
