NGL, this looks kinda terrible

That’s an embarrassingly small number of games for a PC… a PC should have access to far more games than that. I’m sure that’s just the “verified” games, but it’s pretty dumb to flaunt it like it’s something impressive.

It would help if they had any competitors. AMD and Intel aren’t cutting it.

If you’re using assembly, then you’ve already given up on the easy ways.

And as soon as they have any competitors we might consider it

Semantic versioning. Moving from v2.3 to v2.4 shouldn’t require major changes, but moving to v3.0 can.

I’ve heard that enabling CloudFlare DDoS protection on Lemmy breaks federation due to the amount of ActivityPub traffic.

These are not “mistakes”, these are willfully evil acts.

I’m just going to quote another comment here:

Billet Labs sent their best prototype (as in, the only one they had) to LMG for review. Linus proceeded to strap it to a video card where it didn’t fit, so bad that there was a 1mm gap (which might as well be a million miles when you’re talking about cooling). Of course the performance sucked due to it being strapped to a card it wasn’t designed to fit, linus trashed the block and the company. And here’s the part that just fucks me off. Billet Labs SENT THEM THE CORRECT CARD WITH THE BLOCK! There is literally no valid excuse for putting it on the wrong card, Billet Labs sent them the correct one!!!

Combine that with the image in the OP, and there’s just no excuse. These are not the actions of someone that “intends no malice”. This is not an “accident”. This is not a “learning opportunity”. This is not a “mistake”. This is a person doing everything in their power to selfishly extract every dime they can from both their viewers and this startup.

They intentionally lied to the viewers because trashing a product gets more views. They intentionally lied to the startup because they got more money from selling the prototype.

They do not deserve any sympathy.

Works for me

I’ve been playing Palia recently, and one hung I thought was interesting is that they’ve replaced the concept of having a trading post with player quests.

Instead of buying an item you want, you can post a “request”, which other players can fulfill. Instead of receiving money, the fulfilling player receives “renown”, which is basically a type of XP you only get for completing quests.

Every request I’ve posted has been fulfilled, and it doesn’t require anything on behalf of the poster (except there’s a cooldown), so it’s a lot more satisfying.

It creates a dynamic where the newer players want to request things they need, while experienced players want to fulfill those for renown. This explicitly rewards altruistic behavior while also feeling more like a community and less antagonistic than a trading post.

You need to get a cert from Let’s Encrypt (using certbot), then look up directions for configuring nginx to use the cert files generated by certbot.

So what? Malicious extensions can do anything. Don’t run untrusted code on any computer you care about, ever. This is true for any IDE extension, any NPM package, any mod pack, etc.

Implying that anybody thinks that AMD is the king of the hill when it comes to video cards?

Don’t bother playing the original gen 1/2 unless you do the VC versions out of curiosity. The physical versions of those games cannot carry your mons forward to gen 3+. This is why gen 1&2 had remakes in the first place.

Most gens follow a release like this: OriginalA, OriginalB, Sequel, Remake1, Remake2.

Usually the Sequel game is just an enhanced/fixed version of the OriginalA/B games, so that’s the one you want if that generation has one (e.g. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Ultra Sun/Moon).

Gen 5’s sequels (Black/White 2) are actually a different story so they stand out as being a little different from the other sequels. Gen 6’s sequel (Z) got canceled and some elements of that (such as Zygarde) seemingly ended up in Sun/Moon instead.

The remake games always have 2 words in the name and are the setting from an older gen (e.g. FireRed/LeafGreen, SoulSilver/HeartGold, OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire, BrilliantDiamond/ShiningPearl).

These remakes are generally regarded as the best version of that setting. Be aware that they usually introduce mons from later gens in the postgame, so it wouldn’t be a “pure” experience if you want things to be chronological. Also be aware that BD/SP had some negative reviews and some people say it’s worse that just playing Platinum instead since it is missing some features added in Platinum.

I would consider the Let’s Go games to be spin-offs and would only recommend them if you played a lot of Go. They are mechanically different from the normal games, taking several elements from Go.
