TopHat@compuverse.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries1·2 years agoDon’t get me wrong - I think an included battery that’s rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that’s easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.

TopHat@compuverse.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries1·2 years agoSince I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community1·2 years agoI used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!

I’m honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.
I get why people like 2016’s DOOM’s more “metal” approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Gaming@beehaw.org•Are you an intrinsically or extrinsically motivated gamer?English1·2 years agoany game with a story
Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound…
Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one’s not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English1·2 years ago- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (Refunded as it got cheaper during the sale - then got it for even less than the original sale price with the soundtrack on GOG)
- Caesar 3 (Got that recommended along with my earlier purchase of Pharaoh + Cleopatra)
- Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition (Literally 1 buck + I’ve heard it got a great modding community)
- Lollypop (Had my eye on it since it launched on GOG - looks like a neat DOS game)
- Yakuza Complete Series (Already got Yakuza 0 on Steam, but couldn’t pass this. Especially at the all-time low price point. Funnily enough, I believe these games are one of the first to use GOG’s new Steam SDK wrapper to make it easier to port. Denuvo was already ripped out before by SEGA, and only having to recompile the game once to point to GOG’s own .DLL probably made the release a hell lot easier than before.)
- Hypnospace Outlaw (Indie game that’s been on my Steam watchlist for a while.)
- Cuphead with The Delicious Last Course and its Soundtrack (Double-dipping because I got the base game on Switch and the soundtrack through Steam. But didn’t wanna rely on Switch emulation to play the DLC after buying it. So GOG release it is!)
- True Love '95 (An older Visual Novel that got recently re-released on GOG. Seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.)
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English0·2 years agoHad a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:
- Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
- Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn’t have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
- Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
- NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
- Castle Crashers (one of my “indie titles to get” games on the old list)
- Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)

His comment didn’t address two key issues for me:
I’ve been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising “We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.”, is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can’t rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.
And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.
Not to mention, it’s worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is “most likely to remain the same”, which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.
