compression might ruin it, but Street Fighter 3 pixel art is just top tier. After this SF4 went 3D, which looks good but it's just not the same.

I’ve haven’t used Google search as main for years, but since yesterday DuckduckGo was down most of the day I had to use it. it’s surprisingly bad now, like I know DDG has improved over the years but G also went down in quality. And the generated “ai summaries” are crap lol.

ah, I see the old "games should be longer" discourse is making rounds again.

deleting files in Windows once Recall gets released.

This is incredibly concerning, I wish I could use other OS exclusively for my work, but Windows is still the only place for a lot of dev tools. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/

Story about NVIDIA failing to create a GPU for Dreamcast and deliver the product, nearly going bankrupt, but SEGA still gave/invested money to save the company, despite choosing a competitor's GPU for Dreamcast. https://wallstreetsights.com/business/the-84-year-old-man-who-saved-nvidia/351/

I wonder if this is why iOS OS files storage keeps growing even when we delete stuff, there’s bugs where stuff isn’t actually deleted but we can’t see it anymore.

I've been using a MS Sculpt for the past ~9years as main keyboard, and I fear when it dies I won't find a good replacement. tried others over the years and always come back, it's great. Should probably find a store that has stock for a spare while I still can, just in case.

The timeless beauty of PreRendered graphics. There's a different charm to these kind art style in games that is unrivaled by real time rendering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3SwbHIPnfo

Well I guess they finally broke it enough that I can't use it, so my undecision of "I'm still kinda checking it but maybe I shouldn't" has been made for me xD

Winamp is going open-source. kinda weird to announce the release so many months before, but still cool. I'm a bit worried about the call for "global collaboration" though, almost seems like they are just trying to outsource development to the community. Especially since it looks like they are trying to do a "spotify alike" platform https://about.winamp.com/press/article/winamp-open-source-code

Had a chance to watch Aliens in 4K HDR and I think I’m spoiled now. You do lose some of the old school gritty look detail because it’s a much cleaner image, but it’s cool and vibrant colors. *repeats to himself: I don’t need a 4k monitor/tv

Is this guy seriously saying environmental impact is less problematic than “AI” improvements, which is driving pollution up? Looks like Microsoft might have given up on their carbon negative goal by 2030, which is sad. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-15/microsoft-s-ai-investment-imperils-climate-goal-as-emissions-jump-30

the same way that at a certain point anything that was communicating with a server was called "the cloud", now anything that makes a if/else decision is called "AI". marketing is a hell of a thing.

Haven’t used my 3D printer in a while but found a good use today, token trays for board games, also stackable!

Square Enix moving away from console exclusives is a sign of interesting times ahead. Production costs are through the roof and it makes less sense for third party to get themselves locked on a platform.
