You can actually do this in PICO-8 to display up to 32 colors at once.

TIC-80 is indeed a generally more capable console.

The main reasons I'd personally pick WASM-4 over TIC-80 would be touchscreen controller support, more complete documentation, and better performance on resource constrained devices. (WASM-4 can run on the ESP32 and Nintendo DS, while TIC-80 struggles on the significantly more powerful 3DS.)

Dwarf Fortress is an amazing management game in fortress simulation mode, but kinda struggles as a Rogue successor. The layers upon layers of simulation don't mesh into a very satisfying experience in adventure mode, imho.

Brogue is somewhat minimalist and very tightly designed. The design of every item, monster, and dungeon in the game is inextricably interwoven into a cohesive whole. It evokes very similar feelings to Rogue while also doing its own thing. Less "continued development of Rogue" and more "Unofficial sequel."

Hardcore purists categorize the genre into "traditional roguelikes" (could be mistaken for original Rogue if you squint) and "roguelites" (all the other genre mashups).

In the traditional category, Switch has Shiren 5 and 6, Jupiter Hell, and Tanglewood. Maybe Dragon Fang Z and Void Terrarium, haven't played them. Crown Trick and Crypt of the Necrodancer/Cadence of Hyrule straddle the gap, not quite traditional and not quite "lite."

...and that's about the extent of it. A lot of traditional roguelikes are hobby projects without widespread commercial appeal that never make off PC. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of quality roguelites on Switch.

I haven't experienced many crashing issues on Windows 11. What games are you seeing this in?

I use an A770 LE for PC gaming. Windows drivers have improved substantially in the last two years. There's a driver update every month or so, although the Intel Arc control GUI hasn't improved in a while. Popular newer titles have generally run well; I've played some Metaphor, Final Fantasy 16, Elden Ring, Spider-Man Remastered, Horizon Zero Dawn, Overwatch, Jedi Survivor, Forza Horizon 4, Monster Hunter Sunbreak, etc. without major issues. Older games sometimes struggle; a 6 year old Need for Speed doesn't display terrain, some 10+ year old indie games crash. Usually fixed by dropping dxvk.dll in the game directory. This fix cannot be used with older Windows Store games. One problematic newer title was Starfield, which at launch had massive frame pacing and hard crashing issues exclusive to Intel Arc.

I've had a small sound latency issue forever; most visible with YouTube videos, the first half-second of every video is silent.

I picked this card up for about $120 less than the GTX 4060. Wasn't a terrible decision.

Usually true, too. Particularly new AAA games typically run noticeably better after the "day one" driver update.

The OPFS is used in the online version of Photoshop to allow editing large photos without having the entire file (and undo history) loaded into working memory.

Plus the Switch OLED, which was the Switch but switchier.

Similar situation with the Wii U. It was technically capable of natively running GameCube games, but Nintendo locked out the functionality. It can enabled with homebrew.

If you want to add "New Window with Profile..." to WezTerm, you can probably hack something into either `launch_menu` [1] (for starting different shells), or `augment-command-palette` [2] (for adding items to the command palette).

Yeah, it takes some screwing around, but programming extremely specific features just the way you want them is peak WezTerm experience.

Most folks are already signed in with a Microsoft Account, thanks to years intensifying setup shenanigans. It's very hard to create a local-only user on initial boot.

This isn't cancellation, this is fair warning. Molyneux has an extremely well documented pattern of outright lying about his projects. He's told what are in retrospect outrageous lies about every single game he's worked on for decades. And he admits "exaggerating" afterwards and asks for forgiveness, and then goes and does the exact same thing to build hype for his next game.

This isn't a case of "we were too ambitious and had to cut things." This is a case of repeatedly promising outlandishly ambitious things in press appearances which were never on any internal development roadmaps.

One of my favorite things in game journalism is still Rock Paper Shotgun kicking off an interview with Peter Molyneux by asking him if he's a pathological liar.

I'd argue that linear camera movement with mouse _is_ the expected behavior for FPS these days.

Anecdotally, when I was in Asia I saw people playing mobile games all over the place. Mobile is the biggest gaming platform by a large margin.

As noted in the article, there's also a traditional serial interface.

As others have noted, the least painful way to accomplish this is to use the iPad as a terminal that accesses some external server.

If you want to work offline, I've heard of folks carrying around a small "sidecar" computer the iPad connects to via USB or bluetooth. Rui Carmo has a [description of his setup here](https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2023/09/09/1820).

I've read speculation that because the jack can pick up electrical fields, you have to design the phone around it. Otherwise the user will hear buzzing in their headphones.

Docker benefits from a graphical tool for the same reason as git does; both CLI tools often require using long id strings from the output of one command as the input of another command.

Not sure about PlayStation, but the last two generations of Xbox have been some of the most secure consumer devices available. I imagine the difficulty of breaking into and analyzing the system has been a factor.

> They just don’t want to grant a third party JIT permission because of security concerns

The initial rejected UTM submission had no JIT compilation.

A lot of game developers can afford to "ship it and forget it" because game consoles don't break APIs, and Windows has generally best-in-class backwards compatibility. MacOS and mobile operating systems, less so.

Clicking the checkmark button from the editing view causes the header to expand until it covers almost the entire window. Using Firefox 127, macOS.

The main issue with this is that you lose text reflowing, so it's more annoying to access on mobile. You also lose interactivity; I've seen links and menus implemented with JavaScript break.

There is a browser extension. It can record WARC files, but also has a viewing interface identical to ReplayWeb.page. https://archiveweb.page/guide

Per the authors comments, the players were teenagers.

Not much, but I assume we’re seeing Steam-related fixes from Proton flowing upstream anyway.

When was the last time you tried to buy one? rpilocator.com shows wide general availability, and my local MicroCenter has had a variety of models available for months.

Sure, and they've been cut off for almost double the time of the planned journey for no good reason.
