TIL there’s a “googlebook” (not to be confused with google books, an unrelated service, lol)

Seems like it’s an Android desktop to replace ChromeOS which can run Debian VMs

Yeah but if nobody can run their rubbish they won’t survive for long

The reason for the reduction is, of course, the surging price of memory.

Maybe this will finally force lazy developers to optimise their programs a bit more. For decades we’ve had computers getting significantly faster every year so you didn’t need to bother optimising your code for lower resources.

You can point GameNative to any downloaded exe, I got it working with a binary I downloaded from itch

Absolutely agree with this philosophy even though I find it hard to stick to. Maybe it was growing up with access to only a couple of games making me feel the need to eke out every second of value, but I do now need to tell myself if you’ve given it a proper go and aren’t really enjoying it then just move on, you have an ever growing backlog of other things to try out. It’s especially difficult with the live service fomo dark patterns that try to keep you coming back without you realising that you’ve just formed a habit rather than are really enjoying them!

About as Aston Martin-y as a rebadged Force India with a Honda engine

No link or picture?

In front of 3 world champions, Alonso is somewhere down there!

I’ve not played it yet but I love the soundtrack. Have you seen Mick Gordon’s GDC talk about composing it?

You do need a secondary device and a cable, but that device can be another phone

What makes the social recognition necessary? I am basically seeing all that as noise clogging up my single player level selection screen lol

Oh yeah, seems to be working now, maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention before. Definitely something cool, but a full page of stats might be a little overwhelming for a brand new user. The video tutorial is useful, but an interactive tutorial that’s easy to find might be better.

If we’ve already got one post then I can’t be arsed making duplicates!

and this is probably a good time to try system shock, I tried playing the original far too late and it didn’t run particularly well for me

Ooo I played the portal-themed bridge constructor on desktop a few years ago, seems like a good candidate for a touchscreen game

I had a quick click from my phone, does it work on a touchscreen or do I need a proper keyboard and mouse setup?
