Have you used Google lately? At least chatGPT doesn’t make me scroll past a full page of ads before giving me a half wrong answer.

Maybe if you wrote better code …

I think there is an author that said, “Books aren’t completed, they are abandoned.” Code can feel the same.

Hallow Knight is a good Metroidvania. I think i can run it at 90 fps with no drops with the 8w profile.

They didn’t WANT to make budget cards. They wanted mid/high end cards but fell short. But it’s better to sell at a lower price then to completely eat the cost for hardware they already made.

Towards the end of Hallow Knight and just starting FF7 remake.

Not really. They get big headlines to scare people off and make it more difficult for casual people to get started. They don’t need to make it impossible for everyone, just impractical for most.

This picture immediately made me think, "Vin is a Hobbit. A staby staby Hobbit.

If a MAC is going to do everything you need it’s not a bad choice. As for a PC if you want a desktop it won’t be using laptop parts. Some parts can be the same between laptops and desktops like storage and Wifi cards, but you will still want to verify. If you want to learn about building a desktop PC start by making a build on PCPartPicker. Then bring post the build to get additional feedback. If you just want a working machine check out pre-built options.

You honestly sound like your stressed out and in fight/flight mode. The first step is just acknowledging where you are mentally and how it’s going to make everything seem worse than it really is.

Sorry my implied meaning didn’t come across. It’s not better for users, it’s better for Valve as they are not taking on responsibility for maintaining other devices.

It would be nice if Valve did that, but I don’t see that happening. They have only done this much because Microsoft wanted to pull an Apple by not allow non-MS markets on Windows. At least with Valve being privately owned they are content to just keep feeding the goose laying the golden eggs.

They have done better than that. They got the community to adapt their image to other devices. Now there is broader device support for mobile Linux gaming and they aren’t on the hook to maintain it. But since it’s open source, can’t really be mad about it.

Man game budgets are so expensive. They have probably grossed more than $50 million and still haven’t “made a profit”.

Have you ever wanted to do more with regular expressions? Then give Perl a try.

Any untyped languages that don’t care what is in the variable, assumes you know what your doing, and YOLOs it?

Gotta meet the customer where they are, not where you would like them to be. Most people don’t want to learn a new thing.

Listen to audio books, plays video games, socialize with friends on discord, work on computer projects, spend time with pets.

So you want a modded steam deck?

I have worked as a driver helper in the past. This pay makes sense. It’s a demanding job mentally and physically. With the pay being good it also means people work really hard to get that job and really hard to keep it. Congratulations to them.
