Yeah, OpenBSD predates “open source” by a few years and some people actually found the name weird at the time because there was such a strong association with “Open” being used to mean things like “controlled by an industry consortium rather than a single company”.
with the battery expanding and shrinking during use they couldn't keep it from rattling around unless they glued it down.
I’ve never designed mobile hardware, but it seems like the easy fix for that would be to glue the battery to a thin backplane and then screw the backplane down; then people could just replace the battery+backplane as a single unit…
(ETA: but I’ll take a Steam Deck with a non-replaceable battery over any of the existing competition any day.)
I was just totally disappointed by it… it was basically “Breath of the Wild, Director’s Cut/Remake”, and I didn’t enjoy the building mechanic at all, which seems to be what they had spent most of their time working on. If I’d waited for the reviews I don’t know if I would have bought it. I definitely would have waited for a sale at least.
Occasionally I’m tempted to look at Reddit again, and then I remember that I’d have to use the web or official client now, so it would all just be ads anyway…
Lol, I’m never preordering a Zelda game again after TotK.
the cgi in those times is just way too terrible
In their defense, it was pretty hard to do good Computer-Generated Imagery without computers… 😉
Blockchain-based cheese DRM! 😂
For their next trick, the Canadian government will raise gas taxes and impose new tolls on all major highways, and then complain when people ignore orders to evacuate burning cities.
So it’s great when people post things like the recent “games with interesting mechanics” thread…
But inevitably, I end up adding some games to my Steam wishlist, and then 6 months later the game goes on sale and I’ll get a notification and be like “uh… wait, what is this game? Why is it on my wishlist?” It would sure be great if my wishlist could have a link back to the Lemmy post / TikTok video / Polygon article / whatever that convinced me to wishlist it…
Anyone figured out a good way of keeping track of that? I know there are some price-tracking sites with wishlist functionality… any of them do anything like this?
I mean, I hate that too. “I’m going to lose 5 seconds of progress?! Oh no!” It ought to be able to see that I didn’t do anything progress-relevant in those 5 seconds and just skip the dialog…
I hate that even when it is obvious. If I save and then immediately quit and it says “everything since the last save will be lost” I’m always paranoid that it means I didn’t actually save correctly.
