Why are most mobile games trash?
  • I played through the entirety of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on my phone. That was a feature length PS2 game.

    Other feature length games with decent ports I know of:

    • Transistor
    • Bastion
    • Ace Attorney
    • Myst
    • Riven
    • Minecraft
    • Terraria
  • hexbear represents all trans rule i guess
  • I actually saw these comments before they were deleted.

    It was a post listing a bunch of resources for trans people to use to digital protect themselves in light of the election. One example is it suggested Matrix instead of Discord.

    On the list it included a couple trans-friendly Lemmy instances. IIRC the 3 instances listed were from blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, and hexbear. A couple people commented that they liked the idea but didn’t like the inclusion of hexbear.

  • How would you recommend I create a company web page?
  • Draw what you want your website to look like on a piece of paper first, then focus on using the tools at hand to create what you drew.

    There’s a lot you can do with pure HTML using DIVs and “flexbox”.

  • Upscaling really is black magic
  • DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

    Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

  • What would it feel like passing through a wormhole?
  • That depends on the specifics of the black hole you are falling into. It could be over in the blink of an eye, or it could be like one of those medieval torture machines. The main difference being the mass: a smaller black hole would kill you faster.

  • What would it feel like passing through a wormhole?
  • Imagine you are falling, but someone hooks something onto your feet, and attaches it to a rocket that shoots downwards at a speed far faster than you are falling at, so fast that it rips your legs off.

    That’s what spaghettification is. One part of your body is being pulled in so much harder than the other part of your body that it rips you apart.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it?
  • My theory with a lot of these games that “released badly and then come back” is everyone who disliked the game stopped playing and everyone who liked it kept playing so the crowd playing years later had a positive opinion of it through self selection more than anything the devs did.

    I personally liked both Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky on release, and while they are better now, I don’t see the night-and-day difference the internet would make you think happened.

  • Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?
  • The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

    A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

    There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.
