It might not have sit well with the fans - he might take a big swing and miss - but at least I felt like he was trying to create art instead of merely making money.

Same, I actually loved how his story had Rey as a “nobody” whose choices and actions were what made her important, SW has way too many special bloodlines, prophecies, and chosen ones.

Then Abrams does a 180 in the sequel 😑

I still hate that god damned dagger.

A place I worked at did it by duplicating and modifying a function, then commenting out the existing one. The dev would leave their name and date each time, because they never deleted the old commented out functions of course, history is important.

They’d also copy the source tree around on burnt CDs, so good luck finding out who had the latest copy at any one point (Hint: It was always the lead dev, because they wouldn’t share their code, so “merging to main” involved giving them a copy of your source tree on a burnt disk)

Valve said the same about EA when they used them to publish the Orange Box, seems they’re great as partners but not owners.

How about a 6.4TB sqlite database?

I’m not sure why they’re separate, but I thought it had the progress import that the other versions did? So you just load your existing player into the new version instead of starting from scratch.

NTFS was designed back in the mid 90s, when the plan was to have the single NT kernel with different subsystems on top of it, some of those layers (i.e. POSIX) needed case sensitivity while others (Win32 and OS/2) didn’t.

It only looks odd because the sole remaining subsystem in use (Win32) barely makes use of any of the kernel features, like they’re only just now enabling long file paths.

Yep, Apple paid with shares (More specifically, the right to buy $1 million dollars worth at the initial share price) which, according to a share calculator I just tried, would be worth nearly $328 million these days, I wonder if Xerox kept them or offloaded them early.

Considering Xerox was utterly uninterested in any of the tech they had, it’s worked out well.

I love a good detective game.

It’s in my backlog, so at my current rate I assume I’ll get around to it within 20-30 years.

I hate political games. That’s why my favourite is Fallout New Vegas, no woke politics, just a good, simple tale about a man delivering a package.

Stuff that’s spec compliant has to follow the rules, non-spec compliant stuff can obviously do whatever, so yeah the cheap cables off ebay or amazon won’t use the right logos.

It’s USB2, so either for charging or simpler devices that don’t need USB3 (Like keyboards).

Edit: Federation issue? I swear there wasn’t an existing reply when I responded.

Better, kid friendly urban infrastructure like dedicated bike paths protected from car traffic, better pedestrian areas, parks and so on. Kids will get outside their house if there is a kid friendly outside. A greener, more human friendly outside where you can socialize with other humans would always be preferred over doom scrolling online.

Good luck with that, people and politicians love cars, parking lots and highways, and the media is demonising kids as criminals.

Qt is overkill if all you’re using it for is to create a window you render into, something like SDL would be better.

Unless all the other hardware is bespoke, it’ll use the same drivers as it would if it ran x86 or ARM.

It’s not like they’re going to change when you’re not looking.

No matter what you’ve got to compile the shaders, either on launch or when needed. The game should be caching the results of that step though, so the next time it’s needed it can be skipped entirely.

The steam social/discussion stuff is a cesspit of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., has been for quite a while.
