I'm a musician and Ardour is the goat.

So I cannot critique the idea because some fan would like this? I don't see your point here, I'm interested in videogame as art, not to commercial success.

We also already know what fans bring to creator, look at Netflix series...people don't really know what they want.

Pixel art will always be great but...do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?

As a "game purist" I've a 1080p desktop setup for PC and retro, I'm planning to build a full 4k space in the future for this/next gen; 2k is a particular spot, more work oriented, but it can be used to play better well-optimized PC games that don't need a 4k gamepad experience (I think it hardly depends on the screen size and how it's placed). I would also really like to buy a real CRT in the future!

That's another reason consoles still make sense for many gamers.

PS. From a PC player

Yeah if you care about cinema you definely want a better resolution and considering to buy your UHD versions whenever available, but I could say the same for some modern videogames.

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago (22 children)

Well, 4k is a great technology for gaming and cinema, highly recommended if you have the space.

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago (24 children)

So you don't have a 4k blu-ray player? Consoles still make sense for many people, despite the obvious market issues we have today.

Good point. In my case the problem is too many email accounts to manage, Addy is good for that; I could also use more Thunderbird but Tuta doesn't like it, Proton and other corpo provider do not deserve another user.

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah good point, in my case it was mastodon.social

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Atm I would be happy to just have a working sidebar

What fonts are you currently using on your system? Which do you think is best for the terminal or for your desktop environment?

(updates) Ok I think I'm a fan of Ubuntu nerd fonts right now

"Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021, was shot and killed outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan, New York City, on December 4, 2024. He was in the city to attend an annual investors meeting for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare. Authorities believe the attack was not random. Thompson had been criticized for UnitedHealthcare's rejection of insurance claims, and his family reported that he had received death threats in the past. The shooting occurred early in the morning, and the suspect, initially described as a white man wearing a mask, fled the scene."

(edit) I would like to point out that Luigi Mangione is only a suspect and there are currently doubts about the integrity of the evidence.

It seems that YouTube is killing them all but I don't know the technical details, via FreeTube I noticed, from this link (https://api.invidious.io/), that there are very few left and they require signup, and probably financial support from users.

My research and AI's responses seem inconsistent or unsatisfactory, so I prefer to ask these questions to Xbox players, thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!

  1. Are the games actually emulated or are they just downloaded digitally using the disc as a key?
  2. Does the compatibility transform games significantly or is it a remaster-like optimization?
  3. Is it possible to use this feature offline therefore not caring about any Microsoft server support cessation?
  4. Are there significant differences in how backward-compatibility works on Xbox One versus Xbox Series X?
  5. What are some other aspects of this backwards compatibility feature that are worth mentioning?

Which brands are generally more piracy-friendly? Do you suggest any specific model? Or maybe there are products that are easily customizable at the OS level? Thanks!

 

Looks like I've a bug when my pages/tabs reset to default (Home, Popular, All), if I logout from my instance then it restore my personal settings. I don't know if it matters but I'm on slrpnk.net

There's a wiki or something to learn Godot with a maintained textual resource?

Also there are common practice/scripts and tips to learn somewhere?

Hi, looks like I can't find infos on that. I'm on Arch Linux and the post-install path is in /home/USER/ES-DE but I would prefer more something like "/home/USER/.emulationstation"
