Yup. 16 years ago as I was finishing high school, my friends and I would have a solid 2-3 month window of going to play in the snow on a nearby stretch of mountains. We’d go several times a year every couple weeks. Now, the ski resort there is lucky to have 2-3 weeks of usable snow.

Honestly this would make for a neat project — build an esp32 or rp2040 based punchcard reader / printer and then print out all your backup codes (encrypted of course by some hardware based code like a set of dip switches) onto custom punchcard tape.

I didn’t get a chance to look too deep into it, while it looks great for human reading in a terminal, can I just as easily output the diff to a patch file like I do often with ‘git diff [commit] [commit] > patch.txt and git apply it?

My reaction reading the title: “wat….”

My reaction after 10 seconds of the video: “why are they….”

My reaction after learning about the performance improvements and beginning of mod support: “Why didn’t they just say that part?”

As much as I want this game to improve and succeed…. This ain’t the way chief.

If you’re doing any writing on it that’s beyond a quick text or search, you’d either use dictation or a connected MacBook’s keyboard, or a connected wireless keyboard. The pass-through is so clear and lag free that you can just look at the physical keyboard if you need to / can’t touch type.

Likely because you could, in most normal conversational speaking cases. With T9 you didn’t have to press the number multiple times unless it wasn’t picking up the word you needed but at a high rate of correct predictability, only pressing 10 different buttons would be a lot faster than typing on the whole keyboard. The software being fast enough to keep up is a little less likely compared to modern smartphones but hey, at least you could send a confidently correct text with your phone in your pocket.

Depends on the system’s media for me.

Cartridge-based? Physical for all 1st and 2nd party titles, digital for indie/3rd party unless I really enjoyed it or it had a worthwhile collectors edition. I’d say about an 80-20 split due to some games not releasing physical, and some that do but I also get digital for convenience.

Disc based? Probably just digital these days. Exceptions for worthwhile collectors editions and special runs (indie games etc.) Roughly 10-90 split because PC/steam is in this list and despite owning a launch day disc model PS5, I just ordered my first physical copy of a game (Baulder’s Gate 3 collectors) and the other collectors edition I bought was God of War Ragnarok which came with everything except a game disc (steel game case, digital code… sigh).

There is also zero versioning which I consider a more practical modern branch of semver.

0ver.org

Dang, 50% is a lot.

Beautiful assholes.

I think the difference is they actually made the protocells for real? Not sure.

You know this is fake because there’s more than 5 pixels in the picture taken.
