How is it dead tech if everything still works, apps are still being made and websites still publish feeds? Literally every Substack and such has an rss it’s so easy that most websites have it without knowing and don’t link it but it works anyway

Advertising RSS feeds is also a good way to reach back and replace substack. People have forgotten them but they still work just as much as before. I’ve dug up Reeder that is still kicking after all these years.

This was a great read can’t wait for the next part. I only know about some of the later parts with WWW. The internet is baked with so many amazing ideas I’m glad it came to be from people with humanity’s good at heart or that at least wanted to protect it from the worst elements and share knowledge.

I second the Steam Deck, best way to pick games up and down and actually play whenever you can instead of having to plan it!

But if you downvote every post the impact is moot no? Nobody will ever tell the difference I’m not even sure Reddit won’t smooth out your votes since it’s not even a real number. There’s hundreds of apple subreddit if you hate them you gratify them more by nurturing your anger and spending your priceless time downvoting dumb posts on a dying website when you could do something great instead that isn’t thinking about stupid brand. Make your anger into something pretty

I really recommend Lunacid mentioned in the article from the dev doing this, it’s really an amazing retro dungeon crawler with lots of great horror touches since it’s the same dev as Lost in Vivo and such.

I feel like that depends on the frontend you use which is one of the coolest parts, using Photon https://phtn.app/ I find the UX actually better than Reddit’s

Loved the first one I’m please to see they seem to have landed a proper sequel!

I agree and that’s sad but that’s also how I’ve seen people use AI, as a search engine, as Wikipedia, as a news anchor. And in any of these three situations I feel these kind of “both sides” strictly surface facts answers do more harm than good. Maybe ChatGPT is more subtle but it breaks my heart seeing people running to DeepSeek when the vision of the world it explains to you is so obviously excised from so many realities. Some people need some morals and actual “human” answers hammered into them because they lack the empathy to do so themselves unfortunately.

I mean that’s the kind of answer DeepSeek gives you if you ask it about Uyghurs. “Some say it’s a genocide but they don’t so guess we’ll never know ¯_(ツ)_/¯”, it acts as if there’s a complete 50/50 split on the issue which is not the case.

Right?? That’s one of my favorite aspects, like there’s a weird bug and you can kind of backtrack what happened like “Oh I wasn’t supposed to jump out of the car I had to walk through the precise path, I missed the trigger or something I guess??”

I mean if you liked the game and enjoyed the developper’s work I feel like that’s worth paying them a coffee unless you truly hated it 😅

Overall good article with some inaccuracies but the answer to the articles question is to me an easy no. The whole industry won’t recover because its an industry. It follows the rules of capitalism and its a constant race to the worse and while good games by good people happen on the side, they happen in spite of the system. Everything else is working as expected and will continue until you pay per minute to stream games you rent with intermittent forced ads and paid level unlocks.

I’m still not over how they ruined Rocksmith. The first two were amazing games, they improved my skills so much and I had so much fun playing them. And I kept waiting word for a Rocksmith 3, because the team behind it is amazing so I was really hopeful. But then one day without ever hearing of it being announced I stumbled upon Rocksmith+ and that’s when I realized this is where the license had gone to die, in a shitty closed Ubisoft online subscription, a shadow of its former shell. I hope one day we get a better spiritual successor that isn’t in the hands of such a trash company.

But will it run? I’m used to typescript where it’s not checked at runtime but you can’t “build” unsafe types I’d assume it’s the same here

Doesn’t Python 3 have types? I’ve seen a few well typed codebases and it really made the code much easier to understand. Or is it just that it’s not checking them strongly enough?

Those look good but I have to say I’ve been spoiled by Resident Evil’s remasters, the comparison is a bit painful in terms of effort. But I guess there’s only so much you can do with the Switch’s hardware, it’s not like it’s that more powerful than a Playstation 1 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That was my immediate thought, it’s space exploration, it’s meant to cost more than is reasonable or affordable, because monetary rationale has never been a factor in it. Even if it did pay out in the long run with inventions and discoveries in the past, it’s never going to make budget sense because exploration and pushing our specie’s boundaries shouldn’t be. It’s a miracle what space agencies are/were able to accomplish with super strict budgets in the past, but in the end there’s only so much you can do by cutting corners and letting the private sector fill the gaps

Don’t forget the programming socks trans girl programmer

That’s the thing I had Bastion from forever ago, then recently played Hades and I was like “oh my god they’re all bangers” so now I have to catch up on the in between. I even un-ignored Pyre cause even if it’s tagged visual novel, I got so involved in the relationship aspect of Hades that I figure eh might as well give it a shot
