I worked for a well-known SaaS company for 4 years. A few months after we were acquired, I decided it was time to move on. I gave a 3 week notice to ensure everything was properly handled before my departure. Two days later, I couldn’t log

Another Problem i see with this trend of "everyone is fullstack now" is that no one knows what they are doing. Basically, you and your team spent a year or so architecting and building something that you know, it's your domai

English is not my first language. Sometimes, especially when I try to write a complex and long idea, I use LLMs to correct my errors, syntax, etc. In those cases, even if the idea remains the same, the text ends up looking LLM generated, si

I agree that the washed-out textures haven’t aged well. But at the time, not having pixelated textures was the first thing people looked at when judging graphics quality. I remember that being a HUGE selling point of the N64 and something t

I remember how i was amazed when i got my first 3d card, a Voodoo 2. It was like having an arcade at home. The 3dfx logo spining up when you launched a GLide game was something. Unreal in particular was amazing, i remember as a kid just wat

Well, i'm fron south america, far away from the conflict. Personally i think russia moved this to the military realm. Even if there was clearly a geopolitical dance going on that could be considered a menace, they invaded, so they star

To me, this article looks like a psyop designed to make people ignore any response from language models that may reflect a Russian point of view. This article is probably also propaganda. Edit: To clarify my point, since I’m getting downvot

Well, that's because this console has different hardware than the others, with it's own pros and cons. And that has happened in every console generation. Nobody would say the Sega Saturn wasn’t a console because it couldn’t run Cr

It's interesting how many people see the Switch as being in its own category rather than acknowledging it as the winner of this console generation (which I completely agree it is). Most people think the “console” battle is between Play

Obviously there isn't a switch 2 emulator yet, and probably will be a while until one is released. The challenge will not be hardware emulation (if it's a nvidia tegra 2 based SOC that will be easy) but hack the OS/security t

that would be cool. I would like the command & conquer/red alert remaster on switch. Maybe Microsoft releases aoe2 since they are open to release games on other platforms now?

yeah, i agree on that, makes more sense to update 8. BUT, i don't know if i would use that as the first look at the new console, basically looks like really similar to a game that was released 10 years ago, i wouldn't buy a new sy

For action games doesn't look like a good option. But i think it will be used if it works well on any surface. Probably there will be a resurgence of point and click adventure games pushed by the new mouse functionality (or even republ

It was mario kart 9? it looks way too similar to 8 then.

That was a new mario kart? it looked like mario kart 8 to me.

Honestly i was expecting a little more info. I get this is on purpose, to create hype, but not having a graphical demo, a release date... anything really more than the design, input ports, and joycons, seems too little. And the direct in ap

At first, I really thought this was a bad idea. If you don't like reality, shutting yourself away in your own safe shell isn't helpful. The things you dislike will still be there, and by isolating yourself, you not only lose conta

Yeah, i'm taking as base my own library of xbox games, built over many years. Most games i bought digitally for xbox. Probably for gamepass they select games that can be used on pc and console, and the store has xbox and pc versions of

I don't see a problem with my programming skills, but with my ability to play the corporate game. Probably because i have a lot of experience, i kind of know when a manager wants to push a team too much because he wants to play some ga

Well... they want that, but aren't there from my point of view. From the xbox library (including 3rd party games you got on xbox, old 360 games and so on) only a handful of titles are actually playable on pc, around 10% in my experienc

The problem with cloud gaming is that isn't available in all countries and it depends a lot on your ISP, so the experience may vary for different people.

by basfo 2y ago
Yep, users try to consolidate their gaming library in a particular platform. If you have 100 games on steam, why you would get the newest fifa-718 on xbox instead of steam, where you have all your games? They plan game pass to get users to

Does steam run on GNU/Hurd?

by basfo 2y ago
Yep, probably that will be the future of xbox, it will become like steam so you can use and play your xbox library on every device. There may be some Microsoft branded Xboxes, like they have the "surface" PCs, but will be just ano

Even if it's free, the experience of using windows 11 as a portable gaming device is awful. Microsoft must create a gaming focused version of windows for this kind of devices. There are rumors of an "xbox OS", but who knows.

I bought an Asus Rog Ally X on a recent trip to NYC (i'm not from the US, and the steam deck isn't sold on regular retailers). I can't believe how awful the user interface is, they are bascially installing windows 11 in a com

Just the fact that you dress up is a political act, you are accepting and reproducing that being naked is wrong, or at least you do it because you can't do it otherwise due to social punishment. Or you go naked, and that's also a

Well, that depends on what you eat. Do you eat meat, or are you vegan? Breathing is a physical action, so there isn’t much to debate there. However, even some physical actions—like using the bathroom—can have political or cultural dimension

Having a worldview is a political act. In fact, even having a sense of right and wrong is political. My point is that humans are inherently political beings: we don’t live in a vacuum, and our values, life choices, and even our language ari
