This feature is epic. Being able to save a file to my phone from my tablet or vice versa is fantastic.

Still just on the first step, embrace.

Apparently threads didn't support federating replies (comments) on posts until this.

And you still won't be able to reply to the federated comments on posts, just see them.

They are really not in a hurry to properly support federating. I honestly didn't realize Threads' federation support was this pathetic.

I really enjoyed it.

Fell in love with Rivet completely against expectations. I know Jennifer Hale is great and I don't dislike any of her performances, but many of the characters she has portrayed blur together for me.

With Rivet though, she gave an extremely unique and adorable performance, to the point I forgot it was her and just enjoyed the heck out of the character.

If you didn't try it the first time, you can enable a beat display. It's toggled with a button on the controller (share button on the DS5 when on PC) and it will display a very explicit indicator along the bottom of the screen.

You really can't see how a child can fall through the cracks of a fucked government care system and fall in with people who would take advantage of them?

Just warn all the kids off strangers, no way some won't hear it, ignore it, or literally do the opposite of what they're told for stupid childish reasons.

Brilliant thinking my friend, lets just tell all our kids not to get kidnapped, human trafficking, solved!

And before you get semantic on me, manipulating a child into coming with you against their own interests even as it is then not taking them against their will, is still kidnapping.

Modern ADSL and VDSL can get you pretty far... But they don't hold a candle to fibre.

You can disable the news pop up that opens with steam, and it opens to your library, not the store page.

The only "hype" it'll show you then are the news on the library pages for the games you own.

Incredible art.

That's less than a non-response. Self-inflicted sabotage of your own credibility.

Openly advertising your inability to understand why you disagree well enough to make others comprehend your stance with actual sentences that mean things.

So you try to pretend that a witty remark counts for something.

If you ever genuinely tried good-faith discussion, you'd see how little sense your position makes as you'd struggle to put together arguments that actually convince anyone.

Obviously this person shouldn't be walking free, and needs serious rehabilitation.

But the same way adult ex-cons who end up back in prison in the US within months of release due to a fucked justice system, are victims, this literal child groomed into a tool to enact violence at the behest of others, is even moreso.

Yeah.

Kill that guy for us, or we'll kill you, you owe us, sorta requires understanding death.

You think these kids take the "deal" knowing where it leads? Even some adults are easy to manipulate... so a fourteen-year-old?

I'd agree that some teen that kills of their own volition isn't innocent... But there's a literal gang involved that is actively grooming kids for murder.

As for the government letting it happen, agreed. Modern politics, legislation, and government executive branches address problems at a snails pace. Often actively causing them because politicians refuse to enact laws based on what is known, rather than what they feel.

Kinda like you, feeling like the victimhood of this actual child shouldn't be acknowledged.

An attempt to address this with such a tainted perspective surely wouldn't cause problems. /S

Not funny

The kid is a victim.

And in Sweden what in the US would be called a "juvenile detention center" would fall under the term of "youth home". He wasn't returned to the same one.

I don't think they're exactly leaving him unguarded, being underage, there isn't another type of facility suited for legally incarcerating him. These facilities essentially double as juvie and orphanages.

Mixing kids who are simply in government care with ones that are violent, was never a good idea though. These two systems should be separate, because it's now turning the former into the latter.

According to accounts for this story from eight sources including a former gang member, several youth home workers, prosecutors and criminologists, the homes have turned into recruiting grounds for gangs, who use them to enlist killers too young to be jailed.

Gangs have essentially found a loophole for legal murder. Get a child to do it.

They're the ones masterminding this shit. It's not like these actual children, with government rooves over their heads, are taking on contract killing to make ends meet.

You haven't even killed a heretic yet? Gross!

Other way around. Pure and Pulse were PSP first, then PS2 and later PS3.

The PS2 port of Pulse is graphically superior, and can be run using PCSX2. HD has the same content.

Instability might be due to shader translation, should go away as more shaders are compiled and cached.

Vita3k for 2048 runs very well (with compilation stutters only at first), and you can get the HD and Fury DLC for it to access the PS3 content (though with lesser graphics).

Seen it mentioned multiple times around Lemmy now, so I set up the community. Let's hope my guess at there being enough of us around to get some races going is right.

Stick around.

I wanna try organising some online tournaments, since the multiplayer is otherwise pretty dead.

Also intermixed and partly interchangeable with play.

Yes.

But also push for policy that would enact laws to clip their wings, punish, and eventually either bankrupt or set them straight for real.

Valve didn't do anything in particular for Elden Ring.

The way running windows games works on Linux just meant that compiled shaders got cached, so that when they were needed again, the game wouldn't freeze for a split second while they were recompiled.

This process is necessary on the windows side as well, when using DirectX 12 or Vulkan. Most games will do this shader compiling in advance (during a loading screen), and cache them for later so that the GPU can run full tilt generating frames during gameplay, instead of pausing to compile shaders.

Elden Ring didn't do this. It compiled shaders as they were needed mid-gameplay, then immediately discarded them instead of caching them. This meant it was constantly freezing to compile shaders as materials that used different ones appeared on screen. And it would keep happening as it didn't keep compiled shaders around for the next time they were needed.

Only on Linux, there was an external cache in the system that was translating the games DX12 calls to Vulkan (VKD3D), which would just go "oh I already have that, here you go" essentially making the game work as if the constant compiling could be done instantly whenever needed.

Valve did provide the cached shaders as a download, compiled in advance, as otherwise you'd still get compilation stutters each time something on screen needed a particular shader for the first time. But Valve does this for all games.

Are you seriously suggesting that more advanced propulsion and suspension systems would eliminate the need for traction?

Have you ever ridden a bike on just the rims?

It sucks. And I don't mean just in terms of comfort. There's a reason mountain bikes with the most advanced suspension systems still need soft knobbly tires in addition to their suspension systems to do what they do.

Trains and trams are far more efficient large scale transport options, but cars and smaller personal transport options like scooters and bicycles have their place, too. Despite our current over-reliance on them, they aren't useless. There are use-cases where they are the best option. The same goes for the tire.

The compliant tire is the best option for an off-rails vehicle. No, suspension cannot replace it, not in terms of cost (and I don't mean money, I mean materials and energy) and especially not in terms of functionality.

That's not how wheels work.

You can't just ignore traction and claim you can make an effective vehicle of any kind with materials that don't wear if only sufficiently advanced propulsion and suspension were applied.

Even on skateboards, warehouse vehicles, and similar, the wheel isn't just a solid cylinder of metal or some other non-compliant low-wear material.

It's a hard hub, wrapped in plastic, or rather, polyurethane. A compliant grippy material that serves a very important purpose in improving the performance of the wheel. You can't replace a compliant wheel material with somehow better suspension. You still need it for grip, even on perfectly flat surfaces.

Trains make up for their low traction (and therefore high efficiency) with slow steady acceleration/deceleration and extreme weight. Their design principles cannot be applied to personal vehicles, which do serve their own purposes.
