Hope they know, you don't have to launch a console every half dozen years. Could just hold off and y'know, not for a while. A long while.

I know it's because I'm getting old, but it seems like PS5 just came out. But part of it too is diminishing returns on tech advances. The difference is more and more negligible every gen. And that's for AAA; for most developers on real-world budgets, I doubt many are even hitting console power bottlenecks.

Another fun one to mess around with is guitarix. It's like a modeling amp in software form.

LMMS is a fairly intuitive editor that makes it easy to build midi tracks and drum loops. Can't really record tho.

Famistudio is specific to chiptune music. I think it's a tracker. Along the same lines, there's MilkyTracker. I haven't figured out how to use them, but they're neat.

There's so much stuff in the movie, I kinda doubt this character has a meaningful role. Odd they decided to officially unveil this design a week out, but I guess it gets them one more headline and some comments like this one.

I think your example already makes a case for it - your cart still contains 1.0. You couldn't get that any more, if digital were the only option. It's a beautiful thing, to have media that does not depend on the Internet, that no company has control of (unless they want to physically send someone to your house to confiscate it).

To me, that stability is so much more valuable than any add-on content. It works both ways, so there's tradeoffs, ie the latest updates are often not available on physical.

But yeah, I'm with you on most of it phasing out and us being dinosaurs.

I don't like digital, but I'm already old and would be fine if no new video games were released (physical or otherwise) starting today. I enjoy the paradigm of games I grew up with, and since it's voluntary, for-fun entertainment, I don't always have to adapt.

Personally, I think as consoles shift more digital, I'll shift more to PC.

Same here. It was always shown or mentioned in class alongside the other conjugations, but we were never asked to memorize or use it.

I'm glad I was at least exposed to it, so it's not super surprising when reading.

Congrats on finishing the textbook! Now that you're on the other side of it, do you feel like going throught it was a big boost for you?

But yeah, I'd definitely enjoy reading a thread with your thoughts overall on the intermediate stage.

I always thought this roguelike tutorial sounded fun. But it's probably pretty far out of date, not sure how much that matters.

That's good! I haven't tried it yet, but how different is it from Sepia?

It's at least something to explain what the title's referencing. Acknowledging that smaller audiences are often preferred doesn't really seem at odds with that. It just points to A and B having higher priority than C, right?

But people should just read the article, it's pretty quick and has more context than the quote.

Key quote for the curious:

They [the paper he's discussing] conclude that there's a community-member's "trilemma": a set of three priorities that can never be fully satisfied by any group. The trilemma consists of users' need to find:

a) A community of like-minded people;

b) Useful information; and

c) The largest possible audience.

The thing that puts the "lemma" in this "trilemma" is that any given group can only satisfy two of these three needs. It's hard to establish the kinds of intimate, high-trust bonds with the members of a giant, high-traffic group, but your small, chummy circle of pals might not be big enough to include people who have the information you're seeking.

I wonder that too. How to separate cross-language homonyms and nonsense words in URLs?

For any individual page, I guess you base it on the page content if the URL language is ambiguous. Like anything with language, feels like it'd be fuzzy and hard to determine.

Not that I necessarily doubt someone has collected the data, just not sure how internet statistics are figured out.
