It'd be great if they truly believed this, but that's just the image they like to project, the truth is that this has them deathly afraid.

You've got mainstream media covering it, folks like digital foundry openly talking about how Windows is the worst part of Windows handhelds. They can't let this stand, so they're actively working against it.

Just like the faster zombies blog post in 2012 scared them into boosting d3d development and eventually led to the release of d3d12, this will make them actually invest in gaming for a change.

All the chatter about xbox branded handhelds is an easy tell, but like the blog post we might not discover the true extent until years later.

It ends up being complex, but it doesn't start that way.

These games are very long and the mechanics are slowly added in tutorialised fights spread out over the story.

In practice this means the battles are dead simple for the first ten hours of gameplay, you'll be 40 hours into the game and still get tutorials.

This sounds like some silly bug in libinput.

There's nothing in wayland that would care about whether a mouse was connected wirelessly, but libinput may not be detecting it properly when wired. I'd try reporting it, the fix is likely to be trivial.

The Wikipedia entry has a pronunciation guide:

English: [bɑːrsəˈloʊnə]

Catalan: [bəɾsəˈlonə]

The first a is a schwa and the o isn't rounded. Honestly, it looks quite similar to English, to the point where there might be some English dialect that sounds exactly like that.

Your assumption might be the case for frankenstein, it's a relatively short book.

The parent is most likely talking about books like the count of monte cristo. It goes on for more than a thousand pages, but was originally serialised over a couple years.

Similar things happen to older books. Current day editions of don quixote include don quixote part 2, which was a sequel published a decade after the first.

It isn't so much that fedora is the best distro, just that all the other distros are worse.

Using it is just common sense, not something anybody would feel proud about.

No, it's a dev build and a real wii doesn't have enough memory to run it.

It'd work on a dev kit, if you had one.

The 3ds remake already has adapted controls.

It also has gyro aiming, which works great except that it makes the shooting gallery extremely easy 🤣

English has the peculiarity of having two variants of the same word: "gender" and "genre" with slightly different meanings.

You could lean on it and go with genre. But just changing the word is unlikely to help much, the concept itself is deeply associated with genitalia in English culture, you'd still need to explain it.

Feel free to say it any way you like, it makes no difference:

  • 1.58 meters
  • 158 centimeters
  • 1 meter 58 centimeters

It's all the exact same thing, nobody will bat an eye.

Nothing will change in that sense.

There is already support for retroachievents, if you don't see it you're most likely on the stable branch.

Retroachievents only work on the dev builds, which are available on flatpak-beta. The readme has some instructions in case you need them.

You may want to look into gnome classic, it comes default with gnome.

It's not fancy or even popular, but it was made specifically for people like you.
