I mean, the gameplay isn't amazing. But I wouldn't call it awful. I've played games that are a lot worse... many of which are less fun while also being much less visually appealing. IIRC the sound design for silpheed is good

I've lived places where stop lights were all scheduled (unless someone was operating it manually), but most of the lights I experience operate dynamically based on sensors (typically in the road or cameras and ped buttons)

That's pretty neat. The ? (help) link and the speed up button overlap on my browser (firefox on android, url bar on the bottom). My email is in my profile, I can send a screenshot if you need it.

It's worse than no care... I read an article recently that was written with no care and it was refreshing. Putting an LLM on it means you care to make it look nice, but not enough to actually do it. Why bother?

My understanding (which could easily be wrong), is the big difference today is CXL which adds cache coherency on top of pci-e. Without cache coherency, you have to be more careful about how you use the memory and the performance story is co
