Death Stranding 2 is a masterpiece

It is honestly insane just how good the Decima Engine is. There are moments in Death Stranding 2 that I’ve legitimately thought were live action recordings

Unless you need freeform text searching, the only database you need is SQLite. The only database you never need is mongo

SQLite is still the best database, unless you have a reason to use something else it should always be the default choice

Cloud gaming will never be good, some latency will always be tolerable but the p90 latency will always be bad enough that you will constantly notice issues.

Not to mention the compression and terrible artifacting required to make it work.

At most local network streaming is possible

Astrobot is a remarkably good game

Honestly I like what mastodon is doing, but on a technical level the at protocol is just better than activity pub IMO. It’s more complicated but that complexity clearly grew out of a better understanding of how the protocol will be used. Mastodon is SMS and Bluesky is RCS.

When I first learned to program, I really understood it through the lens of programming languages. Now all programming languages just blur together for me and it’s more about the platform I’m building on top of (web, mobile, server, jvm, etc) as that dictates a lot more of what I can do

City Council is considering two new bills that will make it much harder to fight for safer streets, better biking, and more public space.

Here’s what you need to know and how to fight back.

Really considering switching to an atomic spin like kinote. I am having absolutely no issues with CachyOS atm but I just like the idea

I should go back and list my games of the year for every year.

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming.

Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.
