Olympus E-M1 and I’ve basically just keep my 40-150 2.8 on it. I like to catch wildlife but it’s just useful to have since the range is not easily achievable by cell phones yet.

I’ve been feeling this with Cyberpunk a bit. But you may think it’s too quest driven to be considered.

Yeah so today there’s more of a spectrum. Back in the 80s and 90s there were far fewer choices.

I get what you mean though, just wanted to point out it’s more complicated to judge older games by new standards. Eg. if Zelda were a new franchise it might just be a fully open world from the get go.

Wasn’t Zelda always open world? LttP was about as open world as they come back in the day?

There will be a commission to negotiate automation. Right now they will have time to negotiate until January 15th.

Which is actually my preference. How do you get per application keyboard settings for Linux? Seems like it’s not usually built in.

I know some people upgrading Pixels every year because with trade in and sales they only need to pay like $200. I don’t think Sony will take an existing PS5 though…

In terms of driver development it’s more collaborating than just Windows releasing an API and the manufacturers creating the drivers. Bug reports from large manufacturers are absolutely taken seriously. Customers usually never see this interaction.

I would say maybe 1990-2010 was really a dominant time for Windows and that was also when they were actively improving, but now they have plenty of competition. It’s just that people have moved away from desktops. Mobile platforms are now an existential threat. Fewer and fewer people are buying desktops to begin with. Maybe Microsoft has given up on desktops and that’s why they’re making Windows worse.

I’m not sure Windows is a good example here since they’re historically well known for backwards compatibility and fixing obscure bugs for specific hardware.

Whereas Linux famously always had driver support issues.

Eh there are plenty of places that have less population density than the US but they do just fine with transit. It might be true that most US cities are poorly designed for transit, but the density isn’t a the reason.

Do they have laundry machines?

That’s a pretty bad example since most functional frameworks include an any or some function that returns early.

I mean aren’t those just issues that any business venture has to deal with? I don’t think the game type matters per se. It’s more a problem of poor business decision making. I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with chasing trends and they certainly had the right budget. $100m+ is hardly chump change but taking 8 years really put them quite behind.

It’s not like any game is completely original anyways. They all take inspiration from games that come before, some more than others.

I mean it tends to show up in the FE due to JS being fundamentally callback based. You’re basically responding to events and the like. Unfortunately the language was not designed for reactivity so they’re all added on via frameworks.

250W in lightning? Does your system need to be installed in a lighthouse and be visible from miles away???

For reference this literal lighthouse light only draws up to 200W: https://www.sealite.com/lighthouse-led-lights/

That’s only true if you’re selling steam keys. Eg you are using Valve’s infrastructure. And they don’t even require the 30% cut in this case. If you sold the game using another infrastructure then you can price it how you want.

Are there benefits in not having a GC in WASM?

Also are there mainstream memory safe languages without a borrow checker? There’s some experimental ones out there.

Rust isn’t strictly functional? Do you mean you’d like a language with garbage collection?

Airplane tires can have pressures above 200 PSI so that also contributes to how much energy might be stored.
