@peach2k2 if you hate it... then dont use it?

"vat are you doing mein fuhrer?" "i am creating a desktop environment.. hmm.. i vill call it.. GNOME..."

@Name02236071601 @ksaexpats I don't think so. Many parts of it don't add up, and there isn't any other evidence of it

@ksaexpats Is it true?

A disagreement over just one riyal ended in a death sentence. Yes — one riyal. A Saudi lawyer shared a heartbreaking real-life case that shows how a single moment of anger can destroy multiple lives forever. It started inside a small local bakery. A customer came to buy bread and claimed he had placed one riyal on the counter. The worker insisted he never received the money. During the argument, someone suggested the coin might have fallen inside the oven area. Tensions rose. The worker pointed an iron rod toward the customer. Feeling insulted and accused of stealing over such a small amount, the customer lost control. He grabbed the rod and struck the worker. That one blow to the head was fatal. The worker died on the spot. In court, the man said it was not intentional. But because a deadly weapon was used and the outcome was fatal, the court sentenced him to death. The victim’s family refused to accept blood money (diyah), and the execution was carried out. One argument. One impulsive reaction. Two families destroyed forever. The lawyer who shared this story issued a powerful reminder: A moment of anger can leave your family drowning in tears for a lifetime. Practice patience and self-control. This tragedy could have been avoided by simply walking away from a one-riyal dispute. Let this be a lesson for all of us. No amount of money, pride, or emotion is worth losing your life — or taking someone else’s. Even small conflicts can have irreversible consequences. Pause. Breathe. Walk away. Your future — and your family’s future — may depend on it.

@GammaEaglit He was right in that video tho, the Switch had MANY problems at launch, but that didn't stop it from selling well

crowbcat still bitter as hell after this and so now he just makes slop to compensate

@TheNathanNS bo3 is overrated? everybody i know hated that game with a passion lol

A serious chart, I tried to restrict myself to one game per entry to keep things broad and not have the same game pop up like 2 or 4 times. Also changed up a few entries

@pengubow @NearestCommit Not really. the tests are really inaccurate, windows can do anything in the background and be inconsistent. I've seen times where denuvo games even have higher FPS than cracked ones, so they are really inconsistent, the fps flops around a lot

@securams @NearestCommit It’s like 10%. People did the comparisons, u can even google it up. Literally just did and found a Reddit post talking about it. Considering it’s AAA games, then even 5-10 FPS loss is a LOT.

Denuvo has been CRACKED NO NO NOT LIKE THAT

@pengubow @NearestCommit i meant it like people completely discredit hv. no, denuvo doesn't really impact fps that much, it only really impacts the CPU, which hurts fps by like 1%

@securams @NearestCommit Which is exactly why they’re not cracks. And the fact that an actual crack gives u better frame rates is saying something.

@NearestCommit #C" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_… - bruh

@securams I meant cracking in a different definition....... wont say it here but lol

@pengubow @NearestCommit Yes, I meant that in a bypass way, it still indeed runs, It doesn't run on Linux because it was designed for windows booter not grub and etc

@securams @NearestCommit No, they’re bypasses, not cracks, Denuvo is still running and eating your performance up. And, hypervisor doesn’t even work through on Linux through Wine.

@lowiqmarsoupial @kiwitalkz indeed!

@securams @kiwitalkz yeah, interviewing them would be good to hear

During the development of Uncharted 2, Neil Druckmann was playing Resident Evil 5 at the time and loved the truck sequence. This directly inspired the truck alley chase in Uncharted 2.

@lowiqmarsoupial @kiwitalkz I wasn't talking about today's coders, in the psx era they were still figuring out mechanics like 3d, camera controls, but ps2 focused on inventing new ones

@securams @kiwitalkz also coders of games today usually just base their games upon the most popular games of today, it's not like the 80s/90s when they were trying to figure out how to make ice skating into a playable experience apart from carmack and a few others, who would be a good interview?

@lowiqmarsoupial @kiwitalkz proved my point my friend, Reece is great at talking to retired psx23 devs, back then coders had as much power as directors making incredible mechanics from hardware limits unlike today, any tech lead is a great guest, every veteran programmer he's interviewed has been incredible

@securams @kiwitalkz I suppose "ever heard of limitations?" as systems had less limits, the games got worse because it took so many people to make a game, the influence of coders today on the end product is minimal it's different when the game director/designer is also the coder, how it used to be

@lowiqmarsoupial @kiwitalkz Absolutely not, you're dead wrong my guy, tech interviews aren't lectures, devs can explain amazing effects and etc, without it being a lecture, normal podcasts with devs are way more technical yet pull massive views, and coders 100% steer direction, ever heard of limitations?

@securams @kiwitalkz but what are they gonna talk about? linked lists, memory allocation, shaders and clock cycles? you'd need a compsci background to follow, there goes 99% of the audience, and coders don't get to steer direction of a game 🤣 just go listen to jonathan blow youtube.com/watch?v=Z0SJNk…

@rareraremail @lettuce_isgood True Chad, nextspace works like a charm

@lettuce_isgood I use windowmaker

@Jiggle_PhsyxFan @exceedorbit mgo2 was truly an experience, even today there is nothing else like it

@exceedorbit Oh man…. The wave of nostalgia hit me like a mf i remember playing this game in the living room on a SHARP crt tv in 2010 and had the demo of lost planet 2 downloading in the background the internet was really shitty here in the middle east. oh how time flew by :(

@Ashy_Kneecap @GameRollGTA you cannot intuit what you've never tasted before, that's literally the whole problem

@securams @GameRollGTA Intuition and high level reasoning.

@Ashy_Kneecap @GameRollGTA how was he supposed to know how will it taste?

@GameRollGTA Then why order it in the first place? That’s on you fam.

@clauconstantin @5ro4 pretty sure it's installed by default on fedora, it was for me atleast

@5ro4 sudo dnf install google-noto-emoji-color-fonts Idk why it's not in there by default... same with japanese and other Asian languages

Godot doesn't display emojis in Nobara Linux 😭 This is a deal breaker for me. My whole organizational and debug systems depend on them. Seems to be a Fedora issue. Can it be fixed?

@blk19_ Amazing read

I ported Mac OS X to run natively on the Nintendo Wii - an idea I had over 10 years ago that I finally pursued last year. Here’s how I pulled it off: bryankeller.github.io/2026/04/08/por…
