The TL;DR of why this happened is there was expected to be a vote of no confidence against him. People of the UK were going to make him go through hell and trials and such and he was expected to leave anyways, so he resigned preemptively.

This is a win for the people though, it's good he knew he was going to lose anyways and not have us do the song and dance. What happens now though is a little worrying, the sudden resignation of him and 50+ people in the government means it's a little confusing who's going to rule now.

It was on life support for a long time, and it doesn't make sense to have Atom around considering VS Code is almost exactly the same thing but better and faster. If you really loved Atom there are themes that make VSCode look almost exactly the same.

Another day, another LinkedIn leak. Didn't they have millions of people's personal data leaked last year or so?

Kind of a shame there isn't a real alternative. There are some alternatives but usually it's so much more preferred for companies that you have a linkedin account when applying for a job.

It's a riff off an old meme and I will not accept slander about it

Maybe losing all his scripts can inspire him to write a good show next time lmao

 

Finally some good fucking food. Apparently production moved from Wit to Mappa. Seems to be a trend recently, they also gave Attack on Titan to Mappa a few years ago.

I wish the GZDoom devs would actually fix this engine's performance. I know it's based on the ancient Doom engine, but it really chugs and more ambitious mods are getting ridiculously expensive. I played the demo for The Age of Hell and that game apparently needs a high end CPU and like a GTX 1060 to run at 60 fps. For what is essentially a retro game.

However, I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve with this new option. Checking between the various presets available, the new Steam Deck option is exactly the same as the Ultra setting.

Lmao, is there anything that doesn't break in this game?

I mean sure, but she's not involved in the project, and Warner Bros own the rights to the games, not her.

 

Looks wonderful. Which house are you going to join?

Electron apps is essentially running web apps wrapped as a desktop version. Most of them run like garbage and are always inferior to one made specifically for desktops. The only one I've used that runs sensibly is Discord.

As for why people use it, it's convenient for developers as most of them are familiar with web development and can essentially copy-paste their web application without having to change much.

"Shitty Linus's video" pointed out issues with Linux and its communities that people have been talking about for over a decade, yet people only just now realized because now a popular youtuber saying it.

Linux is awesome, but it has a massive UX problem. You have to use the console, but first you have to learn how to use the console, and when beginners install/update/remove something the console spams 300 lines that are hard to parse. Then when you mess up, you can damage your system. All of these things are obvious, but people only got alarmed when Linus struggled with it...

It's been getting better with GUI tools and flatpak, but man 99% of distros are still a UX disaster and not made for the average person.

 

In 2017, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released and is generally considered one of the greatest games of all time. The game had a surprisingly big impact on the industry by introducing a new genre: true open world games.

In short, a true open world game is where you're dropped into a world and can go in any direction you want. The game is more minimalist than most, there are no quest markers or level scaling and you're not forced to go in a specific direction. You're free to explore the world without having a sense of direction, tackling its challenges and discovering new things at your own pace and in any order.

And now a new challenger comes in: Elden Ring. This game takes BotW as its inspiration and (imo) really excels where the other one lacks. There are so many unique events and interesting places in the world, with interesting rewards and an awesome sense of scale. I looooove finding caves and catacombs and having no idea what rewards are inside, whether it's a cool set of armor, new spells, spirits, or maybe some talismans. Not all the rewards are useful obviously, but they usually find a way to be interesting (like a talisman that makes you stronger around poison). It just genuinely feels like you're exploring a world for the first time, something I never felt in other open world games.

Dark souls is also my favorite series of all time so I might be a bit biased lmao

What do you think of this new genre/trend? Are you a fan of these new types of open world games or do you prefer the older ones like Far Cry 3? Do you prefer more linear games? I wonder which company is going to try this next.
