The water has waves!
  • N64 at the time appeared to be largely irrelevant within mainstream culture, in Europe at least. Not many people would have even knew of that game’s existence outside of magazine readers.

    £70-£80 for new games (Irish punts by the way) which converts to €100 and that’s without adjusting for inflation. Jesus, the N64 really had no chance in Europe. Shame though.

    Must give that game a go now though. Thankfully in hindsight we can all revisit some overlooked stuff.

  • The water has waves!
  • Don’t even bother making a new game unless it supports ray-traced light speculating through the anal-fog discharged from the main character’s arse. Every single pebble too within a 50 mile radius must be able to reflect the dripping, wolf-ey arse sweat drops too at all times using some buzzword engine tech or no one will buy the game

  • OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts
  • Yea that’s the problem isn’t it. I had a great idea involving bullshit-efying my comments by editing them slowly with a LLM via long running script and repeatedly over months.

    I realised that they probably don’t delete the original text on edit anyway which, as you say is probably buried in a backup someplace.

  • Sorry guys, we had a good run
  • Can’t quantify the feeling of having kids until you have one, but it’s very easy to articulate the perceived drawbacks of said unknown. They bring a life buff like nothing else, speaking a someone who regularly chases altered states of consciousness.

    They provide a large opportunity for some enormous maturation, removal of bitterness/edgelord-iness and to not be so self-centred.

    Your description of kids sounds like me beforehand. Have 2 happy accidents now.

    Lie-ins are still possible if you are actually in a decent relationship by the way. To anybody reading, don’t have kids if you are in a bad one. No kid deserves to grow up around that.

  • Yep AEC is a Windows world. I was tasked with building Revit Addins to leverage within the Design Automation API. Had to run it in virtualbox which was a ball ache. Eventually moved to parsec to desktop stream instead.

    Shame IFC won’t take off. It’s so limited but at least the files are editable in a text editor. CAD and RVT are a database wrapped inside a binary file which is a holy mess if you load them into a DB viewer.

    Need the EU to step in to pull some things away from Autodesk for Linux to have a chance.

    In reality, the inertia is too much and AEC professionals are too entrenched in Windows tools since they do the job just fine.

  • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
  • Dunno if you’re taking the piss but they’re not that bad. Have an iPhone mini 13 I bought for €450 2nd hand with 100% battery health. Decent upgrade from an Xperia XZ1 compact. Needed a pocketable phone & the Asus Zenfone was too expensive.

    Have to say, having the call audio levels, proximity sensor & speakers properly tuned to the hardware, software/security updates without having to run a non-official build of Lineage OS and AltStore-Linux for side-loading has been sweet.
