henriquecm8··on Show HN: A modern low-poly SimCity 2000 clone, built by Opus 5.5
I wonder if it would be possible to fix Deadly Premonition's buggy pc port. I've played a few hours, then it started to always crash after opening it, I tested everything I could think of and never got it running again.
henriquecm8··on Gemini last models: temperature, top_p, and top_k are deprecated and ignored
I am not a Spanish speaker, but Portuguese is usually similar. In it we say "último" for last, and "mais recente" for latest, so while there isn't a single word translating, we still have its equivalent. I imagine it's the same for Spanish.
henriquecm8··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
Yeah, but games get bigger and more frequent discounts on pc, besides the base game price for a lot of games sometimes decreased after some years.

I have a PC and PS5, and bought game for PS5 just because they were on disk, despite that they would've ran and look much better on my pc.

Sony is releasing like 2 single-player games a year, I might get a PS6, but I'll be in not rush with so little offering, anything else I'll get on PC.

henriquecm8··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
I wonder how many units the 15% represents, and what the percentage would be compared to number of sales in 2010.

Yeah, the percentage has got smaller, but the industry also got much bigger.

This is really nice, some even come with a manual that looks like the original.
henriquecm8··on Am I Unc?
I use "Noted" as inside joke with a friend, we use messenger and the default emoji of the theme we use is a pencil, sometimes he sends me it by accident and one day I started replying "noted" when this happens, now he also does this.
henriquecm8··on “Microslop” filtered in the official Microsoft Copilot Discord server
In Brazil people used to say "Ruindows", which is a play with the portuguese word for bad.
henriquecm8··on Clean-room implementation of Half-Life 2 on the Quake 1 engine
IMHO, if you want to play Half-Life today, you can also just play the original, I've played it recently and still an amazing game, and several aspects I like it more than Half-life 2. Some might not like the graphics for being dated, but after a while you get used to it.
henriquecm8··on Microsoft is walking back Windows 11's AI overload
I actually liked some of the addictions to notepad, like tabs, reopen files, keeping unsaved files, and the unsaved changes indicator in the tab.

But I think formatting, grammar and ai are going too far for notepad, if I want to do something that need those I would use Word.

henriquecm8··on Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate (2020)
The TV show is in the same continuity as the games, same world different medium.
henriquecm8··on Fun with Logitech MX900 Bluetooth receivers (2006)
I don't know if it's the same Ken Johnson, but I found a video about AppSec with a Ken Johnson that had his twitter profile in the description https://x.com/cktricky. Then I found this Ken Johnson LinkedIn page, and there's no mention of working at Microsoft, so it's probably not the same guy, and this other Ken Johnson looks much younger than I was expecting.
henriquecm8··on Stop Killing Games
> 1. World of Warcraft in 2004 is very different from World of Warcraft in 2024. Do future versions "destroy" previous ones? How do you deal with this?

I think it's more about the right of the consumer to be able to play what they paid for than keep the original version intact.

henriquecm8··on D&D will release its 2024 ruleset under a Creative Commons licence
> mind flayer, illithid

If I understand correctly, they only own copyrights for the lore, not the names and appearance. Also product identity so they can't be used by other tabletops, but other media can use them. For example, the game Demon's Souls have Mind Flayers, they are called Mind Flayers and look the part. I doubt From Soft and/or Sony are paying royalties for such minor enemy.

I think this case is different from the Beholder which seemingly they own complete rights since they made Tibia change their Beholder to something distinct.

henriquecm8··on Homegrown Rendering with Rust (2021)
The games embark has released are made in Unreal Engine, maybe the game using rust hasn't been released yet.
henriquecm8··on Show HN: XDeck – An ad-blocking client app for macOS, like TweetDeck
I use mostly to follow indie game devs, to follow their progress and not miss announcements of release dates, and also a few artists.
henriquecm8··on A new term, ‘slop’, has emerged to describe dubious A.I.-generated material
I've seen it on reddit too.
henriquecm8··on A new term, ‘slop’, has emerged to describe dubious A.I.-generated material
I can see the use to describe AI spam, but I am starting to seeing people using it to describe anything they don't like, basically a replacement for "mid" with was highly used the last couple of years. I noticed that when some people learn a new "trendy" word, they want to use it in every possible opportunity until it loses meaning.
henriquecm8··on Sphere Rendering: Flat Planets
I was thinking, maybe games were more immersive with lower fidelity because it left something for our imagination to do. And that made us more engaged.
henriquecm8··on Autonomous AI Robot Creates a Shock-Absorbing Shape No Human Ever Could
"a large boulder the size of a small boulder"
henriquecm8··on Microsoft's AI chatbot will 'recall' everything you do on its new PCs
"Drink the verification can" is more relevant than ever.
henriquecm8··on Toon3D: Seeing Cartoons from a New Perspective
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvmgdJQi5cA
henriquecm8··on A useful front-end confetti animation library
OP's library feels a lot more performant, in my old work computer with 3 click you can notice some lag with Party.js. With canvas-confetti, it only starts to lag when I click non-stop for a few seconds, probably invoking more than 30 instances of confetti and a lot of particles.
henriquecm8··on Facebook users say 'amen' to bizarre AI-generated images of Jesus
I think it sounds like the name of a 80s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, one of those that was basically just recycling the Scooby-Doo idea but adding a band.
henriquecm8··on Facebook users say 'amen' to bizarre AI-generated images of Jesus
I don't doubt that most of the comments come from bots
henriquecm8··on Carl Sagan, nuking the moon, and not nuking the moon
If he wanted to remove the moon from earth's orbit, he should've suggested that we mine the whole moon for resources.
henriquecm8··on Raytracing on Meteor Lake's iGPU
And also because it's a generation old. A card like 1080 was high-end during its time, and still works well, but it isn't high-end anymore.

High-end gpus right now are the 4090 and 4080.

henriquecm8··on A tiny ultrabright laser that can melt steel
They didn't mention the year of the story, it could've happened a couple of decades ago.
henriquecm8··on Udio: Generate music in your favorite styles with a text prompt
The search doesn't seem to work very well.

For example, I searched for "Hard techno", term which was included in the title of a song I listened in the platform.

It returned several unrelated songs, the first result is a country song that doesn't contain the word "hard" or "techno" anywhere in the lyric or the prompt, and the song I listened before was the last on the list.

henriquecm8··on Aphantasia and hyperphantasia: exploring imagery vividness extremes
Now I am wondering how is the thought process of someone with Aphantasia and no inner monologue.
henriquecm8··on Friends don't let friends export to CSV
I find out that Excel follows windows locale, you can change the decimal and the thousand separator on windows, and it will affect how excel exports and reads CSVs.
