With 16 GB on my old work laptop, I am running Helix editor with a couple of LSPs, no AI whatsoever, and like a few tabs open with documentation and our somewhat memory unoptimized page. I sometimes have to close the tab so as not to crash the system. Memory is really abused these days.
Slack, VS Code, Firefox, Steam, Rocket League, combined with no swap file, and Linux just handing out memory allocations like they’re bank loans meant to be paid back eventually and with interest, you get a system that just halts when the memory is finished.
I’m not saying the game needs 32 GB, am I.
I’m saying I had to close all those other memory hoggers in order to keep playing. With 64 GB, I don’t.
Indeed. Now we’re starting up a whole new OS sandbox for every damn app. It’s ridiculous.
32 GB is a joke. With 32 GB, I had to close a few programs and my browser to reliably run Rocket League on Linux without the whole system grinding to a halt.
Managed to snag a whole new beast system with 64 GB before the prices shot up. Lucky me.
Not many things hit me harder than seeing a parent mourn their recently-deceased child.
As a family with 2 kids under 7, I can tell you that the fucking-each-other-over aspect is NOT very fun. 😆️ It’s the worst aspect of it for my kids, because everyone gets in each other’s way and you bump into each other and you can accidentally pick each other up and toss each other over edges and stuff.
Mario Wonder is a bit more forgiving with that because you can essentially pass through each other in the 2-D plane, but there you have the aspect of “waiting for each other”, otherwise you get ghostified. Also a source of emotional pain… 😭️
I don’t get that. The hands work independently from each other so it should be optimal on both sides independently as well. So if you play a lot of stick movement games you’d want sticks to be forward for the thumbs, but button-heavy games should have buttons forward instead of inwards. For me, I play Rocket League, so I want stick forward on right side, buttons forward on left side, like Xbox. But if I played a lot of shooters or similar, I’d probably want both sticks forward.
I know, but sometimes I’m going for an aesthetic.

Yay, eat shit, PirateSoftware!
I like your username.
If you only use source image and motion vectors as input, so you’re essentially predicting instead of interpolating, surely that introduces some type of stuttering now and then due to correction which will be necessary eventually? Or am I misunderstanding it?
I hate that the left stick and D pad have the PlayStation layout. Much more strenuous for the thumb.
Ah yes, so it is!
Love the Windows XP detail lol
Might be good!
I just didn’t become a software developer to generate output. I became a software developer to be a craftsman. To write the code is the fun. If that is taken away from me, I’m out.
Reddit links though?
