You can count to 242 using ternary numbers if you give each digit three states instead of two.

I can count to twelve on one hand like the Babylonians

Let’s say the adult population is 250 million. 25% of 250 million is 62.5 million people. That is almost as many people that live in France. And way more people than Norway, Netherlands and Portugal combined. Yet these three countries have a world class national team and produce top players.

It’s not that not enough Americans care it is the sports college system for this sport doesn’t work to create elite players. I bet California has enough people interested in the sport to replicate the European promotion and relegation system for a comprehensive multi level amateur league system to produce top players. Like if a tiny nation as Portugal can do it a rich state as California with more inhabitants can probably do it too. 25% of California inhabitants is almost 10 million that is the same as inhabitants in Portugal. And California has a GDP per capita that is more than twice that of Portugal

Bromine, because I’m volatile and ready to fart anytime.

Aren’t they building an LEO constellation backed by the EU and ESA?

This guy made Box2D before, a high performant 2D physics engine that is free and open source and has been used in a shit ton of 2D games. So ofcourse devs are excited with this 3D physics engine. Yes it’s free and open source as well. It’s deterministic across different CPUs, which Unreal’s Chaos physics engine and Unity’s PhysX physics engine are not. This means that simulations with the exact same starting conditions will end up having the same result no matter the device the sim is running on. This a huge benefit for multiplayer games. And benchmarks say it’s performant. Someone already implemented it in Unity and it’s faster than the built in PhysX engine in most cases.

It’s basically a free alternative to Havok. Havok is also a high performant deterministic physics engine, but costs tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per game to use. Havok is what many triple A studios use in their games. Like Breath of the Wild uses Havok.

Okay it’s like watching a movie at the cinema and finishing it and then demanding a refund because it was only 2 hours.

No theater give refunds to people who have finished watching the entire movie.

Someone should make cases for mini NVMe SSDs to turn them into cartridges. NVMe SSD are technically plug and play and with an NVMe extension cable you could move the slot to the side or top of the case. Expensive as fuck to use NVMe for a single game, but much faster than SD Cards and they don’t wear down as fast and will retain the data longer when unpowered.

Even pressed discs can rot. Like many WB Blu-Rays were made with a faulty process and many will rot in the next few decades.

Bullets are actually polycrystalline

Sony lost a shit ton of money with their live service games projects. Sony execs probably told the PlayStation division to find a way to reduce cost and control the damage or heads will roll.

Here in Europe you’d see expensive SUVs, like Porsches and Range Rovers, parked outside the Aldi all the time. Lot’s of rich people are penny pinchers especially old money who inherited their money. They would probably buy these ice cubes if they have to impress their friends with their Japanese whiskey that they only drink when guests are at their home.

Piracy is necessary. I remember back in the days in school that you had to turn in essays in Word and do presentations with PowerPoint. Like how the fuck would a kid from a family that could barely afford a used PC be able to get Office without piracy.

Same with Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya etc. Basically the entire workforce for entire industries exist thanks to piracy.

Nooooo that’s illegal.

you can sell a physical disc, can’t sell the game installer from GOG (at least not legally)

Well at least Nintendo themselves still releases full game cartridges and it’s not like you buy a Switch for third party games anyway. Nintendo only introduced the Gamekey card because third party publishers, especially Acti and Ubi, were releasing their own version on Switch 1 and not using consistent packaging labels to tell a gamekey from a full game cartridge apart so probably confused many consumers. Hence why Nintendo created an official version.

UMD you mean, i don’t think MiniDisk were ever used to distribute games or even general software.

Yeah the DA is just throwing the book at them and see what sticks.

Yes but not very often and not very deep until the games are years old. Though they never go on permanent sale like in the past with Nintendo’s Player’s Choice line.

But since Nintendo still releases physical game cards you can buy them used for cheaper.

If you want the Switch 2 for the latest Nintendo games then the money savings with a PC handheld don’t even matter. Unfortunately there are no PC games that can scratch that Nintendo itch. Except for 2D platformers. No Zelda, 3D Mario and Animal Crossing type of game on PC ever comes close to the real thing.

Sure you can wait for emulation, but the Switch 2 needs to get a jailbreak first who knows how long that will take and then emulators will take sometime to achieve playable performance.
