It very me. On the bright side, I’m still funny but also very aware how annoying I can be

For anyone else wondering, he’s talking about Sync for Lemmy.

I feel pretty fortunate to be running this on an AMD GPU on Linux and having a grand old time. I’ve about 2 hours in it and there was a single sequence with out of sync dialog, no other issues.

Google does business with Israel’s military.

Or did you know that already?

They have been giving free updates to this famously procedurally generated game for almost 10 years. If you expected a different kind of update (and thought it was a paid update?), that’s on you.

The US is 4% of the world’s population.

I don’t understand the logistics of possessing 1800 books. That is so many books. Did you live in a library?

Valve can sell devices at a loss and make it up in game sales. None of the current handheld makers have been able to compete on price as a result. I don’t expect that to change any time soon.

They’re not trying to iterate improvements, I would put money on them presenting an overhauled dedicated gamepad interface in the next 18 months. That’s still glacial speed, but that’s what happens when you’re a nearly 50 year old company of that size.
