   The difference I see is that the player is getting sexual pleasure from what is being simulated in porn type games. I.e. they are trying to simulate the feeling of doing that in real life. Where as in violent games like soldier of fortune I

   I can make good coffee at home, but I still love going to coffee shops. It's the same for going to the cinema for me. It's an event. Something about being out in public. Also my local cinema serves beer. I haven't been in age

   Ask to turn it down. I've done this, I was with my daughter, it was hurting both of us. The cinema staff were totally fine with it, and not surprised.

   For a while the YouTube algorithm was suggesting clips of them to me. I think it was from a British newspaper.

   I've been following this since the guardian wrote about it, maybe 2011 or 2013 (private eye was earlier) It was insane. I couldn't understand the lack of fuss. Maybe it is because as a programmer I guess that 95 percent of all sof

   It looks really good. Would it make much difference that I'm not USA based, (live in the UK). I.e. in terms of tax pensions pensions etc.

    I just call them http APIs. Is this too far wrong? Actually a genuine question.

    What are AEDs? Aspirin? Blood thinners? I'm from the UK, so probably a naming difference!

    Whenever I'm playing a game via emulation and I get stuck, I do end up wondering if it's a bug in the emulator. This particular issue, I would have assumed the game was designed this way it and is just difficult. Not quite related

    This is good advice, I discovered two of my PCs had tpms just disabled at bios level. Though in the end I've got so annoyed with the advertising I've moved one of them to Linux and the other will ditch windows too, eventually.

    I've alternated between Linux and windows use at home for years. A few things made me ditch windows entirely this year. 1. Windows 11, adverts everywhere, purposely difficult to turn off. 2. Windows 11 in work, it's slow, the men

    Unfortunately most people don't seem to understand that over regulation can end up benefitting bigger more established businesses, simply because it raises the barrier to entry.

    I need to dig out the link, but there is a Study from Finland that shows this is incorrect: As housing stock quality improves, everyone upgrades. Which leaves room at the bottom level to get on the ladder into lower quality cheaper housing.

    Thanks for this. If it's running libretro cores compiled to wasm, why is retro arch required? Is it a version of retro arch compiled to wasm?

    Looks lovely. Thanks for creating this. If you have time: Does it (or can it) run emulators natively? I'm trying to get my head around js emulator, how is that libretro? Is libretro compiled to wasm? Is it running retro arch underneath

    Do you mean creatine is bad or good for brain health? I've started taking recently because I heard the positive side argument, is there a negative too? Genuine question :)

    What evidence is there that Sony designed their hardware to be hard to emulated? As an aside: The n64 is hard to emulated and yet ultraHLE appeared right in the middle of its commercial life.

    And possibly because they told developers use AI on the job. I'm seeing in work that developers are producing code they don't understand. I think overall AI is making it harder for them to learn because the temptation is to just u

    I can't remember any libraries that started completely open source and free then suddenly becoming pay only. Though to be fair for some reason early in my career I didn't pay much attention to 3rd party libraries. Maybe because nu
