Ooh, that makes sense. Sounds like it could be much cheaper to process than heavy collision models. Thanks for the clarification!

Not disputing you, but hasn’t hitscan been a thing for decades? Or is what you’re saying a different thing?

Also, I always thought that the CPU and GPU either couldn’t communicate with each other, or that it was a very difficult problem to solve. Have they found a way to make this intercommunication work on a large scale? Admittedly I only scanned the article quickly, but it looks like they’re only talking about graphics quality. I’d love to know if they’re leveraging the GPU for more than just visuals!

Yep, same! It’s probably a good thing that I didn’t know the first thing about Z80 assembly or I’d have flunked hard 😂 I would have loved to make my own clone of Phoenix!

I did basically all those things, or very similar things, in TI-BASIC back in high school. I didn’t care that they had already been done countless times; I had a blast figuring out how to make them work.

I dearly wish more people would try making basic programs that are 100% their own creation, even if it’s some random string generator. It’s more rewarding than they might think!

I haven’t played Foundation, but since you’re looking for laid-back and medieval, there’s a really cozy looking game I want to try called Tiny Glade that apparently has no objectives. It seems to be a pure sandbox game.

Plus, if you like supporting devs who use smaller/less-well-known engines, this one runs on Bevy, a small Rust-based engine!

One of the reasons he’ll always be one of my favorites is because he didn’t take himself seriously and called many of his own filler jokes ridiculous. You could almost imagine him amongst the audience, laughing at himself on stage.

Me too! Maybe the Steam name is just the boost the Linux market share needs. But wait, I thought Fry’s went out of business. Do they still exist, and the two near me just imploded?

Regardless, MicroCenter is way better, and also closer than either Fry’s was to me 😎

If he’s claiming he’ll drop the US out of NATO, why does he think his (concept of a) plan, for the alliance that he hates, has any weight at all? Fucking dipshit.

It’s amusing, but not very helpful. Granted, what could the average reader do with an exact size, besides adjust their level of panic?

On second thought, the first one is very easy to picture 😺😸

Pro tip (or maybe it’s common knowledge idk): place it handle-down so the bristles don’t get messed up over time from just sitting there.

Maybe if you didn’t get baked all the time…

France or Belgium would be my guess. The box on top of the cabinet reads “Le temps des soupes”

Agreed. They need to retire that dogshit engine and write a new one. I know that’s a huge and expensive undertaking, which is why they probably won’t. TES6 will sell like hotcakes on its name alone.

I had been looking forward to TES6 for so damn long, but at this point the most exciting thing we can look forward to is the crazy glitches that speedrunners will discover. That is, if they’re not just the same glitches we’ve alll seen time and again.

When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!

What’s their next attack target, puppies?

Remember the time one of those shitheads shot and killed her own dog?

I was talking to a friend the other day and trying to convey how good that fight looks. In some ways it’s kind of cliché (the narrative flips on the “lightning” switch for effect), but it’s so well-done that it doesn’t matter. If you let yourself get swept up in the story, it’s so damn tense and emotional. And the music, oh my god…

Off-topic, but I finally beat TotK the other day and the experience was utterly transcendent. I’m still blown away. They seriously made up for the deflated final fight in BotW, and then some.

Name checks ou- well, not really…

Ramble on!

I don’t think I could find it, but there’s a different, older version of this meme with the same pic. The punchline is indeed the first part of this one, but it was done in a much more subtle way and didn’t ruin the joke by spelling it out with “murder instead of suicide.”

Shame on whoever stole the joke and then not only told it badly, but ended it with necrophilia.

I haven’t used it in a while, so I don’t know if it still works, but the one I had is called Buycott.

I was gonna diagnose you with Vinny Derangement Syndrome, but either you’re exactly right, or I have it too
