So you dont believe the rumors theres a Banjo game in development?

I disagree, it’s just the style that people ask for or don’t ask for anything different. For you, I asked for a red sparrow in its own environment in water coloured style.

It can nuke and ruin your save.

Crazy that wow makes a billion a year just on subscriptions. They must make alot extra on cosmetics and other stuff

a) Why is the default the default? b) Why is watercolour like that, and not all the other possibilities of watercolour? c) I still despise it. Go nuts with it if you enjoy it, it’s a technical marvel, but it’s utterly, fatuously missing the point of what it plays with. I don’t mean you are, but the very point of the tech itself. It’s a parody of itself, a grand joke - and technically astonishing.

How crazy is this? Designed as a temporary solution 30 years ago and it’s still in use today.

everyone who worked long enough in software development can tell you such stories.

good (and fast) enough will always triumph.

30 fps cap is amazing news. I know the game dips below that on Series X but know we will have a framerate of reference.

I will know consider getting it.

I understand it’s a cool, unique and quirky thing, but having read through that it seems a terrible mechanic lol.

You could be tens of hours through the game, that happens then you end up unable to finish the game unless you look up specific NPCs you need to resurrect…

The fact that the UI portion ended up being permanent is perfectly reasonable to me. What he whipped up that Thursday morning is excellent as far as I’m concerned. Functional and straightforward. :+1:

But what I find amazing about that story is the bit about why FAT volumes are limited to 32 Gb.

I also had to decide how much ā€œcluster slackā€ would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect.

The fact that that was just an arbitrary choice made by one person, and that it hasn’t been changed since… :exploding_head:

Hopefully they fix the other graphical issues X version apparently has. That shouldn’t be there.

It could be the next Switch, or it is Xbox! But it says platforms, so that’s cool.
