Same in Britain really, you can get to most places on public transport but it will generally be slower and more expensive than driving unless it's a common route

smeg ,

Positional params are the work of the devil; what starts as shorthand quickly turns into a horrible mess

smeg ,

This one is rare though, you're naked in the garden every Saturday night

smeg ,

I like the fact that the final panel still works on its own

smeg ,

Number of upgrades, e.g. 9 performance-specific upgrades

smeg ,

They were both originally mods that they adopted rather than original creations though, right?

smeg ,

That would imply that a make scientist would be a scientor, which sounds equally cool!

[Forever-free Friday] Cave Story ( www.cavestory.org )

Considered by many to be one of the defining indie games, this 2004 metroidvania adventure "received widespread critical acclaim for many polished aspects of its design, such as its compelling characters, setting, story, and gameplay". While the enhanced Cave Story+ has been given away before, the original is available on...

Not knowing what the questions were, I would guess they want to know if users are actually interested in it. Presumably if everyone says they want one they'll invest, but if everyone says they don't then they won't.

smeg ,

Ooh, it's Forever-free Friday over at !freegames, so yoink, I'm adding to the cross-post chain!

smeg Mod ,

Three games from three different sources, you're spoiling us today!

smeg ,

Huh, that's actually more expensive than I'd have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you'd probably only be running it for a quarter of the time

smeg ,

Did they?

At launch, the Proteus Controller will work with the Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and 11. ByoWave says it won’t support PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch, though it’s open to partnering with these platforms.

At the heart of Yokoi’s design philosophy lay a concept he called “lateral thinking with withered technology.” Yokoi’s design philosophy can be summarized as an approach that emphasized finding novel uses for existing, inexpensive technology. His philosophy arguably runs counter to conventional game industry wisdom where newer, flashier, cutting-edge technology is (assumed) better.

I think this is still Nintendo's philosophy. I see a lot of people complaining that the Switch is "outdated hardware" compared to PlayStation and Xbox, not understanding that they're not trying to make the same thing.

smeg OP Mod ,

Thanks, I should really stop just skimming the tags for my descriptions! I guess they go with whatever they can get a good deal on; there are a few others that are probably still available that at least claim to be point-and-click adventures.

smeg ,

So much for yesterday's rumours!

smeg ,

I don't think they dropped him too early, I think they promoted him too early. He only had half a season at Toro Rosso before being thrown into the deep end and being judged directly against Max Verstappen! It would have been interesting to see how he developed if he had a similar progression to Russell, with a few years in the slow car to get a feel for F1 before the promotion.

smeg ,

You're closer than you think!

Douglas Adams wrote in the notes accompanying the published volume of original radio scripts that he wanted Slartibartfast's name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable. He therefore started with the name "Phartiphukborlz", and changed bits of it until it would be acceptable to the BBC.

smeg ,

and that's why they invented Docker 👈😬👈

smeg ,

Steal lore from Shadowrun, they've already fleshed out the details for you!

smeg OP Mod ,

Well then happy birthday from me, the internet man

smeg OP Mod ,

Oh wow, not really a great review of the developers' desire to support their game!

smeg ,

Not if you let the physicists get their way!

smeg ,

Same, I'm wondering what this brings that you can't already do

smeg ,

What broadcasters are you watching who might say the full name more than once?

smeg ,

Really? I only recall Crofty saying it once at the start when it appeared on screen and then making a joke about how much of a mouthful it was. Maybe I just blocked the rest out!

[Epic] Ivorfall (Not time-limited) ( lemmy.world )

Ivorfall City is in danger and only you have what it takes to save it! Ivorfall is a Steampunk, roguelike, twin-stick shooter where you take up the mantle of Detective Flintlock who must face off against hordes of enemies in destructible environments....

smeg Mod ,

Always happy to have more freebies posted but if they're not time-limited then could you save them for [Forever-free Friday] please?

smeg Mod ,

OK well if you're able to save them til around Friday and/or tag them so it's clear they're not time-limited it would be appreciated!

smeg ,

Only about half of the mothers in the world are being celebrated today

smeg ,

Fortunately the company execs aren't the ones doing the hiring, and if they are then you probably don't want that job!

smeg ,

It's been a few years since I tried it out but I think following these instructions on an Ubuntu machine worked without any problems. From there you just copy the binary to your Deck and add it as a non-Steam game as normal (making sure to use the Linux runtime rather than Proton).

smeg ,

You're welcome :)

smeg Mod ,

Always happy to have more freebies posted but if they're not time-limited then could you save them for [Forever-free Friday] please?

smeg Mod ,

Cheers!

smeg ,

Ooh nice, I'll give that a go, cheers!
