There’s a big difference between what’s happening in the commercial world and art circles. I can’t speak for food but with regards to the topic here, Japan has a huge creator market and that market responds very differently. A year back, their biggest creator fair had a few “artists” selling AI “art” but essentially no one was interested and they hardly sold anything while others had sprawling queues. This year there was pretty much 0 as a result.

Errr who’s saying it’s creative? Their shareholders?

Yes let’s take something like player control which is fast, efficient and direct and see how we can make it inefficient, convoluted, imprecise and laggy. I can somewhat understand if they use it for NPCs but what is the point here other than making a worse player experience?

The selfie method stands out: on-device processing with no video retained is a meaningful privacy distinction.

Yea I don’t buy it

At least he gave us some basic window management features. It’s still miles behind what Windows and Linux has unfortunately.

A kid growing up today will never be smarter than AI

And who’s fault do you think that is?

It’s nice to have some guides pinned and to keep notes. Some games have had second screen mods but a number of them are vibe coded and some of these devs broke open source licenses doing it so I’m steering clear of those.

Wii U is another platform that benefits from it as the bottom screen acts as the Wii U tablet controller though I’ve not yet tried it out personally.

A country with no concern for international law or human rights should not have that kind of supranational power. I’d feel safer with Chinese electronics in all honesty.

This describes both the Americans and the Chinese. But I guess you can pick the lesser threat based on your circumstances. The Chinese have been far more aggressive in my region so if I’m forces to choose, well the choice is clear.

If you’re playing 3DS games then there’s no point as emulation inherently adds input latency. The only benefits are if you’re not playing any games that hurt from that and you’d like to have better visuals. I got mine because I’m emulating other platforms too and running Windows games via GameNative was a game changer.

Are there even any games in the past decade that are available purely physical without DRM? You’re gonna be locked to digitally only on PC in any case so I have no idea what you’re on about.

To be fair, the primary means of earning points by that platform is to just search with Bing.

Libdirect has a list of alternative frontends that it can pick from. I’ve been using it to redirect xitter links so I found that helps when one goes down.

Edit: I meant to say libredirect

If Discord is going to be abandoned by people, I wish we’d go back to proper forums that’s much more accessible and searchable. Continuing down this road is just going to lead to the continued burying of useful information behind these services.

Don’t shoot the messenger lol. I’m in agreement with you.

I agree with you but to play devil’s advocate, even for the simple issue of app sideloading on Android, there’s no shortage of dumb users out there that willingly bypass all sorts of warnings and install apps that are very obviously malware.

Noone would ever buy a PC if they wouldn’t get admin-access and mustn’t install Linux or whatever. With phones they managed to keep us out.

Realistically this only forms a tiny part of the population though, that’s pretty much the only reason why they’ve been able to keep people out.
