Paid by hours worked, at 10€/h and not given enough work.

A job that makes me in an hour more money than I make at my current job in a year? Sign me the fuck up.

Basically metal gear: ground zeroes’ plot.

The window panes were cut from irregular sheets, and they were simply installed with the thicker part at the bottom, for structural integrity.

It was a manufacturing quirk.

I realized right after I posted, and it annoys me as well…

But I can say I did check prior to posting, and they were the same darker shade.

…or were they? 😝

Quake maps are sexy

The speed of sound of the material. So, if the stick is made of steel, it’d be like ~6000m/s. Which is way faster than the speed of sound in air, but not even close to the speed of light.

I played the original for a bit, and my biggest complaint is the level design. Like, how am I supposed to not get lost when the level is a big freaking labyrinth? I appreciate that it doesn’t have a big arrow telling you where to go, or a minimap; but smaller levels and more memorable rooms would’ve gone a long way. I appreciate you actually have to read the in-game signs to orientate yourself, though.

Is the remake as confusing or did they do some QoL changes to that?

(P.S: I also blew up the Earth on accident by doing a quest the wrong way, which is hilarious)

I see your point. Still, it shows there’s no such thing as a “super duper stick” because there’d be shearing forces pulling the atoms apart faster than they can move together.

It’s actually simpler: the stick will deform because whatever movement you do travels across the stick at the speed of sound of the material the stick is made out of.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Oh, so this is how I find out they’re releasing a third one…

I really love TTP. The original one was just perfect in every way for me. Loved the setting, the characters, the writing, the puzzles, the cheeky freedom with the hidden puzzles…

TTP2 didn’t quite feel the same. I bought it on release and was super excited for it, but even though I liked many aspects of it, it felt… lackluster.

Maybe it’s because it had too many characters to focus on, because of the change in setting, because it lacked the “oops, I don’t think I’m meant to do this, I think I broke it” moments in puzzles the first one had…

And the graphics. They even re-released a “remaster” by using the same ugly UE5 graphics for the first game, and to me it feels like a step back in every way. Worse art direction, shadows and anti aliasing breaking in really weird ways, and performance going from 300fps to 20fps (beautiful foliage though).

I didn’t even finish all the DLC in the second game, and after doing one (100% completion) playthrough, I don’t feel like playing again for a while. I would lie if I said I won’t play TTP3 -because I most likely will-, but I’m sad over what it could’ve been, and probably won’t be.

Anyways, frogs are people too. Change my mind.

Is this a lemmy.world joke I’m too sopuli to understand??

That’s a good idea until you download a 10GB file and you wonder why you’re out of RAM :P

I use /tmp as a temp folder for yt-dlp (it is faster than an HDD when adding metadata and subs to the video), and I’ve ran out of RAM before by downloading a video too big… Silly me, my laptop only has 8GB.

Nah, I also do; arch on my desktop and laptop, debian on my server.

Unless… we’re both weird… I mean, I’m also weird… but because of unrelated reasons?

I had the 64GB model, and I upgraded it to a 1TB SSD.

It is miles better; mostly because some things don’t get installed in the microSD card (shader cache, proton versions…), so I barely had any space left in the internal storage, even though I had 512GB on the SD card.

I didn’t clone the previous install, I just did a new install from scratch, but it was painless and very fast with a USB-C pendrive by following the official instructions. I had to redownload some games but it wasn’t an issue with gigabit internet.

The performance is similar for most games if you have a quality SD card, but if a game does heavy loading you may notice a difference.
