That’s a actually a good perspective I didn’t consider, them being in their own dark corner means your area is not polluted

Nintendo titles are on PC. See: emulation.

Had an Asian guy with perfect straight hair wishing his was curly. Protip: you fucking don’t. It’s hard to deal with and take care of. It literally has its own will. Gel, mousse, pomade, literally nothing can tame the fucking curls. It dries up in seconds for no reason. seriously where does all the moisture go? It frizzes literally no matter what. You do not want this. It is not aesthetic. you literally just want to be pretty and get lucky hair genes.

Tech posts and memes are this or rage bait and nothing in between.

“x is the way to do y” “x language sucks haha!” “x language is so good haha!” “x language has so many packages depreciating haha!” "don’t use x do (extremely archaic/impossible way) it’s the only way dude!!”

it’s even worse because tech YouTubers do the exact same thing with popular libraries and frameworks, it’s all ragebait (always has been outerspace meme)

“I’m about to shit my pants from eye contact with strangers so I need clothing with printed letters to convince you otherwise”

Extremely based

meanwhile Windows users: let me drop into this random strangers discord who claims he will make my PC faster by dropping this .bat file that will run thousands of commands to “debloat” my install. also let me edit the registry and add random values to keys that I don’t know what they’re used for. this process is basically irreversible because I will inevitably forget which keys I’ve edited over time, wow windows is so simple and easy and intuitive 🤡

functional programmers when they look at their code 2 years later

Me when I’m fucking banned from some Linux .org forum for no reason (did not read or make a post or even login)

ermmmmm contact the web admins 🤓 how about no?

Forums are extremely unfriendly and need a complete redesign if they hope people will use them

I love the entire OST. the Saturos theme is one of my favourite ones

no indie rpg will ever make me feel like playing Golden Sun as a kid did

There’s lots of valid reasons for this.

Imo the biggest one people don’t account for is this: Dev salaries are incredibly high. if you want fast performance the most optimal way would be to target the platform and use low level native code, so C++ or Swift.

It would cost you like 20x more than just using electron and it will cost you bigly if you have multiple platforms to maintain.

So it turns out having 1 team crunching out an app on electron with hundreds of dependencies is cheaper, naturally that’s what most companies will do.

Don’t want to use electron ? Then it’s kind of the same issue except this time you’re using Java and C# and you have to handle platform specific things on your own (think audio libraries for example). It’s definitely doable but will be more costly than using a cross platform chromium app.

whoa gpu pss through is wild, how well does it work ?

I’ve been playing FFXIV on Linux with dlss, reshade and 3rd party mods and it’s been a blast.

Linux is 100% ready for gaming even with the worst case scenario (nvidia) I’ve been able to overclock and play just fine.

Based Linux wont run riot games

Core 2 Duo is also a terrible name from Intel in the first place. I did place my repebble order, hopefully it will serve me well.

they could have just called gims or gim

naming stuff is important

I’m in this camp too and have made a recent comment (dev angle) but I genuinely believe most people are stupid lately

I’d go further with it (about celebrity culture and influencers) but I think we’ve heard it all

my genuine shock is just how much people seem to care so much that it affects their daily lives

also capitalists calling for fucking RTO again, fuck

I don’t regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it’s always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.
