Performance art in 2024

Out of the loop, what happened to kbin?

People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.

They probably looked at their target audience and realized there was a certain percentage of folks that would just leave the mouse on the cord 24/7 and wanted to prevent that.

The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.

That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.

He has done some other good videos but yeah this is a pretty shit take that amounts to “stop having fun”.

All the analogue systems have official unofficial jailbreaks. I’ve never used cartridges on any of them.

It feels like a real low bar to cross for an article on the subject, especially given that comments were public

I’m into it so far but the traversal stuttering on PC is really hampering my enjoyment of the game.

Wondering if I should have picked up the PS5 version instead.

The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?

Don’t they already use FSR on the 5?

What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?

Can anyone expand on that?

Sure, you could probably write an awesome new AI for black and white but you could also write an awesome 3d renderer for the original Mario World.

My point was that the AI is really core to the game, and I am not sure how they would replicate it in an accurate manner. If you wrote a new AI it would be a different game.

I wonder how they will translate over the AI from the original. That was a huge part of that game, so much so that I would say Black and White with a different AI isn’t the same game.

The same is true for blue states.

If your vote is not important because your state is locked in on a presidential candidate, local issues / candidates are worth voting on. They can have a more direct impact on your day to day.

Funtoo 2

It was more that older batteries can’t handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.

It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn’t crash.

Good quote. Here is more of it for context:

Fable was profitable - “highly profitable”, Lionhead’s Simon Carter told Eurogamer - but in a now too-familiar story, it and its genre was seen by Microsoft as just not profitable enough. “That category is not the biggest category on the planet,” said Robbie Bach, who was the President of Entertainment & Devices Division at Microsoft before Don Mattrick assumed the role. “It’s not soccer. It’s not American Football. It’s not a first-person shooter sized category. So at a commercial level, I would say it was successful, but not wildly so.”

Wildly successful was what Microsoft was after. A pitch for Fable 4 was rejected. “It was like, you’ve reached your cap of players for RPG on Xbox and you need to find a way to double that, and you’re not going to do it with RPG,” Fable’s art director John McCormack told Eurogamer at the time. “I thought, yes we can. I said, look, just give us four years, proper finance, give us the chance Mass Effect has, Skyrim has, the games at the time. They’re getting four years and a lot of budget. Give us that, and we’ll give you something that’ll get you your players. Nah, you’ve had three shots and you’ve only tripled the money. It’s not good enough. Fuck off. That’s what I was annoyed about.” (Worth noting: Skyrim went on to sell 63m copies, as of June 2023, The Witcher 3 over 50m.)
