  • I don’t see input being discussed as much as it should, but when modern games became very realistic, let’s say Battlefield 4 era, it became clear for me that the current challenge for gaming is input. You can make an character animation do anything but you can’t instruct it to the character, maybe that is why this quick time action bullshit is so popular, because you can make a very complex cinematic scene but you can’t make the player give the input for it.

    That is all to say this problem is 10x worst for VR games. Like the biggesr benefit of a 3D view is to move around but if you can’t do that in a natural way it kinda sucks, that is why 3D movies sucks, you are not moving around the scene. I guess that is also why VR works well with flight sims because in a real plane you are confined to your sit and can only look around. Now a shooter or other FPSs you WALK around and that has not being solved.



  • Instant Ramen Noodles for sure. I still love them.

    You can incrementally make them better by adding:

    • Broth Bouillon or any other ready made seasoning

    • Mix butter at the end for a creamer sauce

    • Remove some water at the end and add milk

    • Or even better but more costly, heavy cream

    • If you are super fancy, add some hotdog sausage

    And the sauce you can do as much as you want, you can drain almost all water and make a more like a coating sauce or leave most of it and make a lot of sauce which also make one noodle package fill more.

    Of course there is much more one can do but this is the most inexpensive things that I would do to make it more tasty.





  • Mine too, it is kinda annoying with a terminal full screen because it crops at least half the first character when it is shifted left, and I use It it in full screen 100% of the time. But still not annoying enough for me to do anything about it.

    I guess is also a releave every time I noticed, it means my OLED is fine.


  • It is hard to read someone acknowledge that some of the reasons people seek refuge is directly result from the wealthiest nations fucking up the planet for profit while the firsts to take the effects are the poor nations that very little contributed to said catastrophe and goes:

    “sorry, there is no space for you. It is true that we are ripping the fruit of centuries of imperialism and unchecked destruction of nature and sorry that it affects you guys the most, but we cannot make space and give up the way of life that we killed the planet for”


  • I’m kind of noob in general terms and I’m afraid I’ll be leaving dual boot just in case.

    ArchLinux is the other alternative.

    Never change internet. Never change.

    OP, don’t go with the hype, don’t go arch Linux as your first distro, you can change to it later when you get more comfortable and feels like having a more hands on approach.

    PS: I don’t think that matters but just in case, I am an arch user for at least 12 years already as my only OS (except work computer) and I find it wild that so many people recommends arch Linux (or any of its derivatives) for beginners. I can only guess how many people get burnt and give up on Linux because of it.



  • Very curious to me that FF9 made the list but not FF8. FF7 is a given, a seminal game. But I was a kid/teenager when both FF8 and FF9 came out and I remember FF8 being more of a hit than 9. I am sure part of it was that 9 came out more on the eol of the PS1 while the 8 was on the prime years. I think I read something about 9 becoming a cult classic over the years but I am not sure. Maybe also with the years 8 didn’t fare as well and maybe the early praise when first launched came in part trailing how well was 7 that everyone wanted for 8 to be good.

    Personally I did play a lot of 8 but I think only halfway through instead of completing like I did 7 and when 9 came around I wanted to play but never ended up playing it.



  • I cannot get over the fact that that is not how whatsapp looks when someone sends multiple messages. This is the chat list screen that shows your recent chats. This image is like multiple contacts with the same name and image (but different phone number) sending the same message.

    And it would be so simple if it was the correct chat screen with multiple messages from the person with each its own time stamp and stuff





  • That was also my experience, I grew my beard a couple of time, just to see how long it goes and also laziness. I never cared with specific beard products or trimming it and stuff. I washed it with the same head&shoulders I use for my hair. In my country is normal to greet with a kiss in the cheeks so it was a somewhat common occurrence that a woman would feel and comment how soft it was. But that was it, they are impressed by the softness not the looks of how long it was, this was only guys, guys were impressed by the size of the bears and all. That is not to say that woman necessarily prefer shaved face, in my experience mostly (in my country that is) prefer a trimmed beard. I guess it is more mature or mainly. My now wife certainly preferred me to just trim down the beard instead of shaving it.
