His comment didn’t address two key issues for me:

  • The “crunch”/tight scheduling of projects which led to sloppiness to begin with
  • The constant need to correct, ranging from simple mistakes to very problematic methods.

I’ve been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising “We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.”, is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can’t rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.

And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.

Not to mention, it’s worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is “most likely to remain the same”, which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.

Don’t get me wrong - I think an included battery that’s rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that’s easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.


If it was so easy to replace them, with each Li-Ion battery being different for every type of device.


Since I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).


I’m honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.

I get why people like 2016’s DOOM’s more “metal” approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.


any game with a story

Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound…


Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one’s not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).


[Nintendo Switch - Global Sale] SEGA AGES series 75% off!
cross-posted from: https://compuverse.uk/post/11221 > EXCLUDED TITLES: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 > Big recommendation on my part, these either have been good emulations for the Switch console or amazing ports/remasters (Fantasy Zone, Virtua Racing). Some of the emulated titles even got bonus features like a moving border based on gyro along with sound effects to make it seem like you're using the real fancy arcade cabinets. > > The series has been developed by M2, a popular Japanese development studio responsible for many emulation collections like that of Castlevania, but also the Virtual Console emulators of the Wii U for the DS, GBA and TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine consoles. Not to forget the SEGA Mega Drive (2) Mini and the PC Engine Mini have its emulation done by them.
