To be completely fair, I’ve had two fail on me over the years. They tend to get flickery on warm colors or sometimes have a color fail entirely. One was a Gen 1 bulb and the other was the Bloom (or Iris? Can’t remember which). The bulk was in a small enclosed fixture and the Bloom was on a windowsill that got a lot of sun; so probably heat issues for both.

But I have 23 total and many of those are 8+ years old at this point, one of which was exclusively used outdoors in temps ranging from -10F to 100F

Thanks for the reassurance. I was starting to do just that, but I’ve only had about 6 hours in game so far and of that I feel like I’m moving pretty slow. So perhaps there is hope yet!

He won’t as long as the alternative still makes his company valuable

Writing his comments with AI in Arc it seems

The problem with “old difficulty” was that in arcades especially, and even on consoles by way of the industry being smaller and the same people working on both, were designed around quarter-munching.

Stuff was hard to get people to pay up.

I would have preferred modern ideas like bosses are hard because you have to learn their patterns- and to be clear, this is also present - but also the feeling that I’m not strong enough to do anything more than chip damage is a bit annoying.

I think there’s validity in all the arguments I’ve seen people making; but at the same time I’m glad the game’s not easy. I just don’t know if it always needs to be punishing through frustration.

(The thing that pisses me off the most are those

So that’s why I say there’s a difference between “tricky” hard and “annoying” hard.

Some of my Hue bulbs I’ve had for over 10 years now.

I’m still not over the fact that /etc isn’t for et cetera

EDIT: turns out that it is, and that there’s a lot of dumbasses on the internet “teaching”

I mean it’s basically the same thing but the command itself means “print”; it’s a damn old command and it probably predates using screens for terminals (used to be printers); which is why all the parts of Linux (ugh, and GNU of course) that came from Unix ideas came from that age.

You literally sat in front of a typewriter that would respond to you. Wild.

I mean, eventually I would have but it was kinda disappointing and also amazing to see this happen. Steam has handled big releases just fine before.

$20 is cheap AF for a game the length and quality of Silksong.

The only real argument you are making here is that “capitalism sucks”. So, I guess we unintentionally agree.

A lot of 2d games are done in 3d engines these days anyway, because it gives “free” parallax, depth buffering and masking, hardware accelerated compositing etc.

So it’s all the work of hand-drawing animation frames with all the complexity of rigging and mapping in 3d.

Enter the Gungeon and the Shovel Knight series are two examples that come to mind.

SQLite has made huge performance improvements in the last like 3-5 years.

I wouldn’t spin up an enterprise NextCloud with it but for a home NAS serving up to maybe a dozen people it’s more than enough.

SQLite actually has incredible performance these days. But I get your point :)

You can install NextCloud with snap.

2 hours and 10 minutes in and I can’t even get to the payment method screen

This is my experience but with GNOME. Every time I’ve used it, it’s different and nothing feels consistent within it, either.

Does your computer have automatic AI up scaling or something? Because on mine this picture has so much JPEG it’s hard to tell that it’s even a real showerhead

If the former residents had been smarter, they’d have worked at a job that made more money and simply purchased a home outright using their diverse investment portfolio as collateral. Hmph!

This different between AI and Photoshop is that Photoshop takes time and skill; you need creativity.

Wiping is for liberals!
