It's because the devs just aren't testing their Linux build. If they at least had a steam deck and made sure it ran there, the community would figure everything else out on their own.

You're only technically correct

If we can't get the solution implemented, then it's not a solution.

Cool, thanks I'll have to spend more time with the soundtrack too.

couldn't non-chinese car companies just make better/more affordable EVs?

Sure, if China didn't control the battery market.

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

There's also the factor that China controls the largest "rare earth" mines which are the raw materials for battery manufacturing. Right now, a lot of non-chinese EV companies source their battery materials from China, who will obviously always give their domestic market an anti-competative advantage over any other country.

Man, imagine how hard people worked to make sure that perfectly good hardware would turn into a useless paperweight one day.

It Follows

I like that it's such a simple concept for a horror movie, but it's still highly engaging for the audience.

spoilerIt (quite literally) teaches you a set of rules that the monster operates by, and the rest of the film feels almost like an interactive game.

  • the monster is a shapeshifter
  • it has stack (as in the data structure) of targets
  • it's always walking straight towards the target at the top of the stack (peek())
  • the target can have sex with someone else to make them the new target (push())
  • if the target at the top of the stack dies, the previous target is the target again (pop())

Beyond that, the writing and cinematography just let the audience play along. The characters are deliberating their plans on how they would deal with the monster, letting you also think about what you would do in their situation. And the camera likes to slowly pan around the people talking so that all the while, the audience is scanning the background looking for the monster. It can look like anyone, and they constantly, and deliberately put extras in the background walking directly toward the camera just to make you go "oh shit! Is that it right there? Hey, pay attention, we need to move!"

It's just such a fun, unique experience. I don't know of another horror movie experience quite like it.

Yeah, on the one hand it seems pretty clear that they're trying to prevent competition/disruption and protect domestic car manufacturers' sales. On the other hand, I don't think I want China to end up with a monopoly on EVs.

Between a rock and a hard place, as they say.

narrator told me there's a star—which might be a stone, which is also a goddess. A goddess of destruction, even! She's bad, but she was shattered, and some people have pieces of her, which could be good—but maybe only if you're bad?

I think it's great to see forks of Godot start happening, so we can see what out-of-the-box additions the community can think of.

But I will be floored if this repo gets a single feature of substance submitted to it.

I would be curious how many people in that boat find themselves looking at steam reviews in order to make a decision. It didn't even occur to me until this happened that the reviews exist.
