Quoting: ben-greenLOL.

I use middle click copy to the already open terminal, so it's one click to copy, then press return. Does that count as one click or do I get marks off for using one keyboard key?

That would have been smarter. 🤣 But also you can press Enter/Return on a virtual keyboard! (Something I only realized as I was writing the post.)

Quoting: Linuxer

Quoting: pbyay -S prefixer *is* a couple of clicks ;p

Huhh dat a termnial command so no its not jus clicks

Why, 'tis a mere nineteen clicks to enter it with a virtual keyboard! Not a single key-stroke necessary! 😉

(Unless, does yay require sudo? Then it'd be more… 🤔)

Quoting: dpanterOverwatch Overwatch 2 Overwatch 3 Overwatch surely is one of the games of all time. 🍌

Wait, so Blizzard can't count to 3 either? 🤔

Oh man, multi-stage rockets Besiege-style is going to be amazing (and very shades-of-KSP, I suspect). Can't wait for the new "I built one machine to solve every single level in Besiege" videos to come out. 🙂

• Foveated rendering uses eye tracking data so the game only renders high resolution data in the portion of the viewport that the player is looking at.
• Foveated streaming, on the other hand, uses eye tracking data so that the PC only streams high resolution data in the portion of the viewport the player is looking at.

I must be misunderstanding this, because I don't really see much benefit from foveated streaming. Foveated rendering makes sense; the game can selectively render a small area in higher detail and save compute power for the rest of the frame that's not in the user's central vision (thus allowing potentially higher framerates). For foveated streaming, it sounds like the PC still has to render the entire frame in high resolution, only for a bunch of that data to be lossily dropped in the streaming process. (This seems to be the only way it could be a "system-level feature" that "applies to all games".) I get that that has the benefit of lowering the amount of data streamed, but that doesn't seem like a particularly large benefit for a device that will likely be kept in close proximity to its broadcasting station; it might marginally improve battery life or provide redundancy in electronically-noisy environments, but as far as I can tell it neither improves the image the user sees nor reduces the amount of computing power the GPU needs. What am I missing here? 🤔

Most of my computer parts are from when I built it in 2014*, and this year I might finally, possibly, be in a financial position to consider upgrading building something new. I went with Intel/nVidia for the CPU/GPU, but I'm thinking of switching over to all AMD for the next build. Though I'm also kind of twiddling my thumbs waiting for the AI bubble to burst and RAM prices to return to sane values; I guess we'll see how the year goes.

*Minus one RAM DIMM that failed in 2018, the power supply that failed in 2023 (or '24?), and the GPU my brother gifted me in 2018.

Based on the national poem of Finland

Which inspired both (parts of) The Silmarillion and Noita, so you know it's good!

This looks like a lot of fun to watch other people get very frustrated by. 😆

I hadn't encountered this particular problem, but if this helps fix it that's a plus.

I just wish it didn't still take five clicks to give an award*. Imagine if you could simply hover over the "Award" button, a palette of options pops up (easier now, since there are fewer), you click the one you want**, then a "Confirm" button, and that's it.

*Click the "Award" button, click the award you want to give, click "Next", click "Give Award", then click the "Close" button.

**Or, even better, select more than one to give concurrently.

Previously, baby mobs were just smaller versions of the adults.

Well, not quite – (at least) some of the babies had much bigger heads proportionally to their body size than adults did*. But this is a welcome change nonetheless. 🙂

*I don't feel like checking all of them, but it's true for chickens, cows, pigs, and sheep, at least.
