I got a good laugh on this take on the FF XI experience. And then I laughed again when I saw this was an AI image of a 20 year old game.

I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?

Gyro support on XInput has been on PC gamers wishlist for awhile.

XInput is a solid standard (especially if you look at the state of gaming in the pre 2000’s) but it is in need of an update…

Check out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.

Yeah, this is a pretty sad bait for Internet points. The AI BOTs are getting lazy.

Official company policy being printed and posted on the refrigerator… totally legit. SMH

I appreciate the hi-resolution photo. I did a double-take when the image loaded like a dial-up JPG from GeoCities.

Makes me think about what I should prioritize… network transfer or local storage.

I started using Fedora / GNOME as my daily driver on my laptop for a few months and can see where this change may be coming from. I really like how clean GNOME is and it works really well with smaller single screens (laptop) and multi-touch input /w gestures… but the reason I haven’t switched my desktop over is because I can’t see how that same design philosophy translates to a desktop environment with just a mouse and keyboard.

Trying to figure out how to manage background applications like chat programs, soft-phones, and even email seems to be an uphill battle with GNOME.

While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.

Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I’m scratching my head too…

That may have been the intention but I can’t find any which have panned out. Mozilla is straddling that weird line of operating both a non-profit and for-profit entity… and as a for-profit incubator for the next big thing, they have a pretty terrible track record.

Honestly I’m actually a little happy about this. I feel Mozilla needs to focus on its core job of advancing its browser and web standards so we don’t get stuck with Chromium-only world (like when us old timers had to deal with Internet Explorer holding the majority market share).

These side projects like running VPN services and social networks may have the best intentions but have had to pull from their limited resources. I would prefer they get spun off as separate projects instead of pulling resources from the parent company.

I can’t wait to have TherionArms at my party!

Jack of All Trades, Master of None

Oh, thanks for the reminder that this just came out! Been looking forward to the sequel

Too bad with Apple, all browsers are just Safari under the hood with a different skin. One of the biggest reasons I can’t switch to IOS.

Hmm. I just checked and have no problems logging into amazon.co.jp from the US. I’m still presented with their international shipping options and currency conversion too… so I think you may have something going on with your browser.

Try the usual things like cleaning the cache or even a different browser.

Cool, thanks for the insight. I haven’t looked at the MOD scene on Starbound so I’ll check it out.

Any specific mod recommendations?

I loved Starbound and was really excided for its environment and style. I still think it has some of the best world generation, like a 2D version of No Man’s Sky. Oh, and the music just feels so right…

I had hoped it would grow beyond what Terraria was at the time, but sad to see that didn’t pan out and development has basically died. It feels like there’s still a lot of potential in Starbound but it feels unfinished.
