My honest, hard-working American feng shui!

We’re so spoiled by graphical power nowadays. It’s easy to forget there was a time when a consistent 30 fps was like using 4k+ with high fps today.

Then again, I played some newer titles for the first time in a while, and the state of optimization brings some of the feelings right back.

Almost makes me want to get into torrenting again. But dab.yeet.su, squid.wtf, and doubledouble.top usually have me covered with ddl

That’s for premium accounts, which they probably aren’t scraping with. And I think it’s still not FLAC quality

I grabbed a banglejs a while back for cheap embedded funzies, and it’s really stellar as a hackable companion device that you don’t use much, or at least in fairly passive or niche ways. Espruino is really cool though, and that’s the heart of the project.

I wonder how this compares as a higher-end (maybe only other?) FOSS watch, mostly on the battery/power ratio. I actually don’t know much about the pebble design.

😂

all I’m sayin’ is it’s kinda silly to call the Steam Controller a new product like the other two

Valve can indeed count to three.

So uh, happy… anniversary… I guess?

Exactly. We’re already bootstrapping, re-tooling, and improving the entire process of development to the best of our collective ability. Constantly. All through good, old fashioned, classical system design.

Like you said, a lot of people don’t even put that to use, and they remain very effective. Yet a tiny speck of AI tech and its marketing is convincing people we’re about to either become gods or be usurped.

It’s like we took decades of technical knowledge and abstraction from our Computing Canon and said “What if we didn’t use that anymore?”

I’m honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn’t true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.

I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I’d like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.

Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.
