You meant which storefront, Xbox or PS5?

Trivia: Mr. Door actor David Harewood later appointed as the president of the Royal Fucking Academy of Dramatic Art.

So unlucky that 2023 was brimming with awesome games so AW2 had to compete with them all. Winning best narrative awards against BG3 was remarkable, and I honestly think it was well earned. Yet it got little to no exposure - only 1.6mil sales over a year and a half? It’s a 16mil game no doubt.

That‘s nice. We have this forepayment discount with all our taxes and tickets instead :D

Turkiye: E-Devlet.

We have this E-Government system that centralizes almost all relations with the State, I really don’t remember when was the last time I saw an official document in paper. With all 1000+ official agencies involved, you can access and manage over 8000+ services like GDPR permissions, analogue tv frequency infos, paying traffic tickets, state-backed escrowing, fraud checks, my kids grades, my medical records etc within an handsome mobile/web app.

It was shocking to see even my German friends still need to use their physical mailboxes to handle official stuff. I can imagine it’s even worse at the rest of the western world.

/remindme in 10 years to talk with my daughter like this parent did

Google’s getting credits for Android being a platform without walls since 2008, but it was almost never possible to jump the fences for the layperson.

When I look back at the last 15 years, I feel nothing but we got conned by the biggest Advertising company disguised as a tech company, to trust they will hold their users in front of their profits, or keep any of their promises.

Comparatively, yes - that’s auditory masking for you. On a relatively quiet place like a home, these will sound like rats running wild in your pipes.

Oops, yes. I definitely would expect these to be much louder than your 6 GB 1998 model HDD wrangling under stress of copying files at 30 MB/s.

If you eyeballing these, please remind that these babies tend to be LOUD AS FUCK, so might not be suitable for home server use.

Steam Deck put them back in the race already.

SteamOS is flourishing with the popularity of the Deck, helping Linux to become a stable gaming platform with Proton and driver support.

It’s also great as a HTPC when connected to a TV. HDR support for external displays arrived just recently.

I think it’s just a matter of time SteamOS jumping from Deck to custom PC builds.

No Mount & Blade either :/

One thing no one will tell you HOW LOUD some HDDs could get under load. You may not want any of those disks around if you’re keeping your server around your living spaces.

Just check dB values in the spec sheets.

I find this comment pretty surprising because all my impression of Jane is about her influential activism.

Anti-war stance, HWPC, getting arrested 3 times at 80+ years old for climate change, supporting LGBTQ+s since 70s etc.

I know all these and I’m just a random guy from Turkiye.

Soma.FM

Surprised to see it’s not mentioned here. 24 years old internet radio, still kicking, over 30 channels with hand-picked playlists, almost all of them suitable for concentration. They are sponsoring Def-Con for years. Owner has a great Fediverse presence.

Channels have very interesting concepts like Spy Jazz, Ambient over NASA’s mission broadcasts, Celtic Folk, Vaporwave, 80s Synthpop and my favorite SF 10-33 Ambient over San Francisco Police Radio live feed.

This game feels like the perfect candidate for streaming from XCloud/GeForce Now since all those data doesn’t really need to be transferred all the time. And the game’s design can tolerate a bit input latency.

I happen to use it after the last year’s UI update but UX still needed a lot of work. Did that improved too?

Game Dev here. More specifically, audio director. Used to be tech sound designer and composer. I find it hard to explain even over here, among the geeks like me.

It’s terrible with direct streaming lossless Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) streams, not only where it’s not possible but there are workarounds (AppleTV / Infuse), but also on each and every platform it’s being done by other apps (Android, Xbox, PC / Kodi).

I only use it because I paid peanuts for lifetime premium and alternatives have egregious UX that I can withstand but my extended family cannot.
