Seconding this. Excellent game. Would love to see the devs return to this style in their next title.

The open source promise was many years ago, wasn’t it? And the dev’s been quiet about it ever since? I won’t expect it to go FOSS ever.

Glad to see improvements like this on the software level, but it seems unlikely to be utilized much. Any game that runs on low power probably can reach 60fps. 6% battery saved does not seem like a great trade-off for halved frame rate.

The rare xkcd I find charming and relatable rather than charming and arcane.

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages “don’t support them”?

Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I’ll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.

Is there a Voyager 1, uh…emulator or something? Like something NASA would use to test the new programming on before hitting send?

You gotta pay to be at a coffee house. And sure, coffee isn’t terribly expensive and most places won’t kick you out even hours after you’ve bought your single cup of coffee, but non-Starbucks coffee shops are usually tiny and in some places hard to find.

It worked for Netflix. It’s easy to scoff at the clearly customer-antagonistic policies these services are turning towards, inevitably accompanied by the “well, they lost me as a subscriber” flood of comments. But the unfortunate truth is the vast majority of people just shut up and pay, resulting in big net income for the corporations that enact these policies.

I kind of wish all forms of popular media could just, like, agree to defund a bit. Just step things down a few notches. There’s just too much money involved for anything truly unexpected to happen in these industries.
