There’s a genre called Adult Visual Novels which can be a more … refined experience. Not so much games but more like illustrated choice-driven stories. Some may include mini-games or other game-like aspects.
https://f95zone.to/forums/games.2/ filter by VN or Completed and sort by descending rating. The first couple pages are full of excellent examples. However, note that a lot of them are still being developed and may only release updates once or twice a year.
You can find a lot of these on Steam, itch.io or on the developer’s Patreon page.
Three that I recall. First pair was in my early twenties, some weird blue bug eye mirror things that I thought made me look cool (they didn’t). Second was a pair of Fossil sunglasses in this cool gunmetal color/material with prescription lenses, acquired shortly after the bug sunglasses. Those lasted me for years. Current pair are Raybans with prescription lenses. They’ve lasted quite a few years as well.
I wear normal glasses as well and keep my sunglasses in a case. I’ve never sat on them.
It’s a CAD format in that the files contain object descriptions instead of meshes (like OBJ). But the format does not support all of fusion 360’s features so it is a lossy export in that respect.
TI isn’t in the business of marketing and selling these types of devices to hobbyists etc.
Just curious what your issue with raspberry pi is?
Yeah I’d love to but I already have too many kitchen gadgets and not enough storage space 😂
The Instant Pot is actually great at cooking rice using the pot-in-pot method: put a plain metal bowl with your rice and water (usually 1:1 ratio) in the Instant Pot on a wire rack and add about 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot. Steam for 10 minutes for white rice. Perfect every time.
I think that site is being slashdotted.
Ah yeah, rubber gaskets! I totally forgot about those. With today’s manufacturing capabilities it should be possible to create super-thin gaskets without affecting product design too much.
Something I don’t understand about the anti-glue sentiment: how do you make a device waterproof without glue or sealant?
This likely originates from the Before Times when universities would have a full time sysadmin who would often write some of the software for the computer system/network at the university. See Bastard Operator From Hell for an example.
I have an Aeron that I bought over 10? years ago and it’s still in great condition with daily usage. The only issue with it is that the fake leather type material on the arm rests has scrunched up and the texture is not so nice anymore. I could replace those if I wanted to though.
I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.
It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.
It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.
I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
I modded Fallout 4 on SteamDeck by running Vortex in Desktop mode using Steam Tinker Launch. I recall it being a little finicky to find all the right paths etc. Some googling should lead you to a guide for running Vortex on SteamDeck.
Come on, don’t be a dick.
But active noise cancellation is still superior.
But they’re usually shit and lack noise cancellation which is really nice to have on a flight.
I do like the new swipe animations but I find it’s much harder now to swipe from the left edge to go back to the community view, without accidentally activating the voting swipe on whatever comment happens to be where I’m swiping.
The settings got majorly reorganized so I suspect they got reset in the process. Perils of TestFlight!
