Have you tried Penny’s Big Breakaway yet? Been eyeing it and based on your list here, seems right up your alley.

The older I get, the less time passes between starting a new project and reading the readme / manpages for a library.

Please buy it used.

You just need a little Tenacity.

I disagree, Sony’s feature is fundamentally different. It allows developers to create quick-load shortcuts for different activities in a given game. Like having multiple open world objectives/missions where you can choose which one to continue from the system menu. Microsoft’s feature is all about resuming where you were directly as if you put the system to sleep with that game running.

That’s a different feature. Resume Activity is just a developer-dependent shortcut that’s integrated into the system menu. Quick resume is saving a snapshot of ram to disk and loading it up as needed per-application. Different goals entirely.

Holy shit all the people just standing there at the hole in the side of the building…

My biggest concern with SteamDeck was that it would become a 1-2 year upgrade cycle device. I don’t expect the hardware to last 7+ years like normal console lifecycles but I’m very glad to hear they’re being patient and aggressively supporting the software side.

Can you show where they’ve gone further than apples game porting toolkit or game translation layers? Genuinely curious because I haven’t seen any comparison but do know several large profile games have come to apple silicon recently.

… nobody can convince me otherwise

Ignorance isn’t something to be proud of.

For clarity, the recommendation is specifically 3 copies of your data, not 3 backups.

3-2-1 backup; 3 copies of the data, 2 types of storage devices, 1 off-site storage location.

So in a typical homelab case you would have your primary hot data, the actual device being used to create and manage that data, your desktop. You’d regularly backup that data into warm storage such as a NAS with redundancy (raid Z1, Z2, etc). Followed by regular but slower intervals of backups to a remote location, such as a duplicate NAS with a secure tunnel or even an external drive(s) sitting at a friend or family member’s house, bank vault, wherever. That would be considered cold storage (and should be automated as such if it’s constantly powered).

My own addition to this is that at least one of the hot / warm devices should be on battery backup in case of power events. I’ll always advocate that to be the primary machine but in homelab the server would be more important and the NAS would be part of that stack.

Cloud is not considered a backup unless the data owner is also the storage owner, for general reliability reasons related to control over the system and storage. Cloud is, however, a reasonable temporary storage for moves and transfers.

Wait, this sounds awesome! I haven’t had time to dig into it more yet but does this mean I could host my own “pod” allowing my data to stay where I want it and be backed up how I want, while allowing my fediverse identity to be used on multiple different federated services?

Konami doesn’t deserve your money. Buy it used if possible.

Yes but on other sites where people have historically posted the shortened direct sub urls that used to go to old.reddit will now forward to new reddit or be broken according to the comments of the OP post. That’s the key difference here. Posts people made many years ago will now go to new reddit, which is why I suspect specifically attempting to manipulate user / site stats because even if their api prevents search engines from using it properly, there’s a wealth of already indexed links out there.

My guess, break existing old links on other sites so that they can show a graph with a drop in usage of less-ad-riddled way to access the website and drive more to the ad enabled views.

Waiting for Steve and Wendell to weigh in.

Given the share price has fallen so hard, I won’t be surprised if Ubisoft just lays off most the workforce anyways.

This is why you don’t preorder! Don’t pay extra to get the game early when they’ll launch it early anyways if sales are too low!

Late to the party. Generic designs. Boring uninspired gameplay that did nothing to advance the genre, and basically no marketing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a tax-loss project by the 8th year of development.
