I also tried loading it on my laptop and it just stuck on the coloured horizontal lines

Seems to run fine on my phone

Actually you’re right, it runs but it doesn’t seem very playable!

See the tweet from Balatro’s developer:

Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA sports FC

I don’t think the Sega Saturn was particularly popular with neonazis

I guess they really did learn from the WiiU!

I don’t think Nintendo have ever done a Console 2 before though. I was hoping for Super Switch but as ever Nintendo absolutely refuse to be predictable!

No clear line, but to me a script is tying together other programs that you run, those programs themselves are the programs. I guess it’s a matter of how complex the logic is too.

Yep, in my mind piping together other commands is scripting not programming, exactly what shell scripts are for!

Wouldn’t something interpreted like python be a better solution?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

Shell is great, but if you’re using it as a programming language then you’re going to have a bad time. It’s great for scripting, but if you find yourself actually programming in it then save yourself the headache and use an actual language!

I imagine that’s the only thing they could get the publishers to agree to. Still, it’s better than nothing!

I think there is a digital games storefront that lets you sell your games (robot cache maybe?) and it seems pretty NFT-ish, so yeah

Doesn’t “foresee” mean to look forward, to predict?

Short for “the foreseeable future”

You can rent cloud machines from Amazon, they can get pretty expensive if you forget about them

Ever played XCOM?

Key quote:

Microsoft is looking at combining Xbox and Windows experiences together — and that we should see changes this very year, rather than needing to wait for an Xbox handheld that might still be years away

So there probably will be an xbox handheld, but don’t hold your breath. In the meantime they actually are a little worried about how much SteamOS is showing Windows up.

The ones on Lemmy are pretty good!

Running x64 Windows games on x64 Linux with Proton is way easier than running x64 binaries on arm. That said, Apple have managed it so maybe one day!
