Does Wii U with its entire eShop count as a retro console? Because, despite being unpopular, it had a lot of games from a lot of past Nintendo consoles.

My understanding is that GoG does some work to make sure that old games they sell will work on new PCs. I have at least one game that is bugged on Steam, but works fine from GoG.

I’ve really enjoyed having Firefox and Ublock on my phone. It’s so nice :) I’m hoping for augmented Steam and Unpinterested extensions to get added too.

You don’t need to offer solutions when complaining about something not working or feeling right, jfc.

In fact, most developers kinda hate when you offer suggestions, because they don’t like armchair developers.

You know, a cute blouse with a kicky pair of trousers. An outfit.

That was definitely the impression that I got from the reviews and it’s a shame.

My theory is that they’re not actually trying to make games. They are trying to make money printers.

PBS has a good video on it: https://youtu.be/et7XvBenEo8?si=w2ZJDnYQbWDY3TgR

The summary is that scientists don’t have a single, simple equation that they can use to precisely predict the orbits of three bodies based on the initial positions and velocities of those bodies like they can with only two bodies (the two-body problem). The solutions they have are either approximate solutions (not precise, but close enough to be useful), equations that apply only to specific types of orbits and therefore can’t be used to predict other three-body orbits, and a general equation that is so ridiculously long that it is not really usable. I am also just a layman, so take my summary with a grain of salt, but hopefully the video will help.

I just want to be able to use a password manager with Steam for online games.

You can donate directly to Godot or FNA if you want to show support and don’t think that you’d enjoy Terraria. Personally, I love Terraria and have bought it for pretty much every system I own and everyone I know. I got interested in it after watching TotalBiscuit and Jesse Cox play it. (I can’t believe that was 12 years ago!)

The developer took that one down to focus on their health, they said. https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/only-up-creator-reveals-they-are-removing-the-game-on-steam-due-to-stress-2284288/

There’s constant fixes for it btw from the ublockorigin team now! :D

Ads would have happened anyway like it’s happening on the streaming services. They’ve got people paying subscriptions *with *ads. Double the money, double the fun, right?

This line stands out to me:

TV seems to be settling into something that’s not all that different from the cable era we left behind. Except it’s even less hospitable for the artists actually making TV.

I don’t think the writer intended this, but it sounds like it’s setting up the consumers vs. the artists divide. Like, we should have been thankful for what we had and the executives and shareholders, lacking any agency themselves, are now forced to pay less to artists because consumers don’t want to pay for content. No one wants to work and no one wants to pay for anything, or so they say. And, yet, the multi-billion dollar industries keep on keeping on.
