  • No story, but I just found knotwords and it's pretty good.

    If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware
  • Yeah, power consumption is never talked about enough when talking about that type of hardware. I do have an old PC I could use as a server, but I don't need more heating at home. Mini-PCs are cool, but how cool are they?

    But anyway, I haven't been able to buy a RPi at decent price in years, so πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

  • Aonuma says Nintendo not thinking about classic style Zelda games at the moment. Does anyone think it likely they could use a third party developer again, like when Capcom made the Minish Cap ?
  • I disagree with all and every single point you made, to the point that I think the complete opposite about most of them. So I guess those are subjective, not objective issues, and the game is not for everyone. I don't think every game has to be for everyone, but it's clear looking at popularity, sells, and cultural impact, that both BotW and TotK are liked by a huge amount of people just as they are. And I for one would definitely like to have a third installment.

  • Microsoft Launcher crashed on my phone, erased all my settings and won't start again. What launcher are you using and why do you recommend it?

    I was a Nova Launcher user for many many years, but then Microsoft Launcher came with basically the same features as Nove and a few new killer features, so I moved to it.

    But today I woke my phone up and everything was gone. My screens, widgets, folders... And even if I wanted to set everything up again, I can't because Microsoft Launcher won't start.

    So... yeah, fun times. Won't be using Microsoft Launcher ever again, even if they fix it.

    What are you guys using? And what killer features does you launcher of preference have that make you use it?

    Are you guys tired of "Material You" design?
  • As a UI/UX designer myself (non-hobbyist), there's UI and there's UX. What differentiates a good-looking design from a crappy-looking design, most of all, is space (or padding). There are many other factors, of course, contrast being also very important for example, but space is number one. But that doesn't make a design good, just good-looking, which is a very different thing.

    Adding steps to take a common action (turn off wifi or whatever) because you used to have a certain number of buttons and now you have to hide some to add space... That's bad design. Good looking, good UI. Shit UX.

    Space should be added when needed. And you need it, when you do, to make thinks clearer. You shouldn't add space to make it look better if that's gonna make the experience worse.

    The number one rule of design is that form follows function. You should make things as pretty as possible until you find the wall of functionality, and then you stop. Going from six quick access buttons to four was breaking that wall. You wanna be just on top of the wall. Go to one side, you get a great looking interface people hate to use. Go the other side, you get an interface that's dense and full of things you want, but looks like a piece of nerd shit.

    I'm also tired of people repeating the same copypasted ideas about any new design system out there (as I'm sure most people are when hearing people talk about their area of expertise), but they are not wrong on that regard when it comes to material you. Shit name by the way.
