They have open sourced their client software and libraries, but the core of what they provide is closed source software that runs on their servers.

Not just that. Apple themselves beat Microsoft where they reverse engineered MS Office and played the cat and mouse game long enough that Microsoft released their office file format specifications publicly for everyone as a standardized format.

Most snes RPGs arguably aren’t better for their length.

Plagiarism is obviously a word with very strong negative connotations. If you want to discuss the technology and it’s differences between a different solution that tries to solve the same problem and not accuse someone of stealing, it’s usually best not to use this type of language in general.

Beehaw doesn’t have downvotes enabled. We try to be positive here.

No one here says they have data that disproves it though?

They’re the “political cartoon” of gamers.

Dome Keeper, The Case of the Golden Idol are both pretty good 2d games made with Godot.

Are you talking about how they fired a transphobe, or about something else?

Yeah, I’ve read around their documentation and they have a pretty compelling reason why one should prefer search engines where you directly pay to the search provider instead of relying on third parties such as advertisers to pay for your search usage.

Dual screen was a great feature with a handheld with two tiny screens. They tried it with WiiU on the home console and it was a massive failure. The Switch maybe doesn’t have dual screens, but the single screen is bigger than even the 3ds screens combined and they managed to port almost all WiiU exclusives to it with minimum loss of functionality.

Maybe the revolutionary feature was the added screen real estate the dual screens allowed for instead of there just being two screens.

Or allow you to accidentally skip cutscenes when you didn’t mean to.

Switch is the third best selling console of all time behind the PS2 and the DS. I highly doubt that most people who own switch own something else. What you’re saying applies maybe to the core gamer audience, which is honestly pretty small.

In fact, the issue is that Xbox “never”* has done it’s own thing, and because of that they are hardly relevant in the console market.

*their entire branding is “gaming box for gamers”. The only time they strayed from this was with xbox one where they for some reason decided a “DVR that can also play games” was the way to go.

When I was using Gnome on a laptop, I really enjoyed the PaperWM tiling manager extension. It’s not exactly something that can be used with a mouse, but it’s a really pleasant touchpad/touch first multitasking interface, where instead of having traditional workspaces that are constrained to the size of your monitor, you basically get infinite horizontally scrollable workspaces that are a joy to navigate with a touchpad.

That’s because Mastodon doesn’t have direct messages. It is not a chat platform. You can bend the privacy settings to publish posts similarly to DMs, but no one should use it as such.

I think the best solution is to sell monster energy drinks that the players would have to chug to prove they’re real gamers.

The issue is that Firefox is, as far as I know, much much more difficult to simply use as just the “rendering engine” for some other customized browser.

There’s the arcfox experiment thing that tries to make firefox look and feel the same as arc, but if arc isn’t mature, then this thing is just simply unusable to almost everyone. It’s still probably easier to do than to make a completely new browser using firefox as a base though.

Yeah, this and having the option to full screen an image (and potentially swipe left/right to move between images inside that post) would be a really welcome QoL improvement. It’s basically what stops me from using the app right now.

There’s Alyx. Other than that, not really.

There’s a lot of games that do come close though, but never really reach the full potential and kind of still do feel either like proof of concept demos (Lone Echo, Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners), are just a very simplified arcade experience (Beat Saber), sims (which do work great in VR), or ports of non-VR games that can’t by definition fully utilize the full potential of the platform, even with hand tracking added in.

ETS2 and ATS work both really well as road trip games, though they’re both in 1:19 scale afaik. Promods don’t change the scale, just add massive amounts of new content to it.

I regularly play multi-player convoy with my friends, where we just set up a spotify playlist that we sync through discord and cruise around.
