Honestly to me it's more promising to see a game studio stick behind their game like this rather than having the initial game be good. A good studio will still have bad games, but knowing that a studio will stand behind their bad game and work on it until it's good means a lot.

I just have Favorites (all games installed, steam or non-steam), playlist (games I want to play but haven't installed yet), and finished games.

Everything else is mixed together to search through when I'm looking for something specific (coop, etc).

Dragon engine seems really good in my experience. The last few years have been filled with terrible performance unreal engine games, but Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth looks good (imo) and will run on weaker hardware than its 2020 predecessor.

Has to be either free or have a free way to get it

There are good games out there, but outside of a few exceptions you can't get a good mobile game for free. If you have netflix, the netflix games selection has some good games, I'd especially recommend Into the Breach. If you have google play pass, there are a lot of good games there was well. As far as truly free good games go, Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Hoplite are the only ones that comes to mind.

If you're willing to spend some money to get something worth your time, I'd recommend Slice & Dice (has a free demo), Reventure, Super Hexagon, VVVVV, Dicey Dungeons, Dead Cells (plays surprisingly well on mobile, play pass includes all DLC), Krumit's Tale, King of Dragon's Pass, and Star Traders Frontiers.

These kind of performance improvements have really cool potential for real time image/texture generation in games. I've already seen some games do this, but they usually rely on generating the images online.

ASCII and low graphic roguelike's have a lot of generation freedom where they can create very unique monsters/items/etc. However a lot of this flexibility is lost as you move to more polished games that require models and art assets for everything. This is also one of the many reasons that old-styled games are still popular, is because they often offer more variety and randomization than newer titles. I think generated art assets could be a cool way to bridge the gap though, and let more modern games have crazy unique monsters/items with visuals.

Have you seen the SD3 preview images? They're looking seriously impressive.

Here's the article without the paywall

So basically, the police were trying to catch a single person, and so the requested the personal details for all the user accounts that made up 30,000 views on a youtube video. Obviously, some accounts could have viewed it more than once, but we're still likely talking about 20,000+ users whose privacy they were going to violate because it might help catch one single person. Absolutely ridiculous.

Just guessing here, but Lemmy is generally content focused, where it feels like mastodon and twitter have more of a focus on the interaction between users. This would mean that Mastodon needs a lot of active users to function, where a lemmy community can be largely carried by just a few really active posters.

I've intentionally kept myself desensitized to higher frame rates over the years. I'll occasionally go up to 60fps on some titles that really need it, but usually if I play most everything at 30fps I never am bothered by it.

Yeah, I'm a little confused. The official product specs mention 16GB/32GB of RAM, so maybe the more expensive one will come with more RAM? But the price reveal seems to say that both devices will have 16GB. I'm not really sure what the advantages of the more expensive model are.

A lot of people won't touch electrical, and the problem with modifying the wiring is you need to be able to clearly document or show what was changed in case it needs to be reversed later.

This is ugly, but it's immediately obvious how to reverse it to anyone who looks at it. And that pipe wrench probably wasn't being used anymore anyways. I doubt they tapped the holes, those are probably just self-tap screws that both drilled the hole and cut the thread as they screwed in. No one will call this an elegant solution, but if it works it works.

I'm sure they just needed a way to lock the selector knob to the primary position, and didn't want to rewire it.
