The grooves?

The pattern on the left is actually just inside the case, under a clear part of the case. That part is black in the Euro version, but the case looks the same otherwise. (We have cases like that, too.)

Edit: Also, that Japanese one? I’m pretty sure it’s the same style, but turned upside down. That’s the base of the case. Searching Google, I found a copy on Ebay that shows the front, and that section of the front of the case is clear for that one, too.

That sounds like pretty much exactly what we did at my last job, and it worked pretty well IMO. The individual commits in a PR didn’t ever matter. I don’t even think we used them for code review, except if it came up for review a second time after rework. In that case, we were able to just look at the new commit to see if the right changes were made.

And we definitely avoided basing off each other’s branches. We had to do it a few times. The only times it went well was when the intent was to merge the child branch into the feature branch. If they were actually separate tickets (and the second relied on the first) it was generally chaotic. But sometimes, it was just necessary.

Having a dream isn’t wrong, but every business is difficult, and this one is already being run under by cheap Chinese prints.

It’s still possible, but all the success I hear now is from people who have designed their own product and are fulfilling specific needs, like adapters for certain tools and such.

Etsy also just banned 3d prints of other people’s design, so it’s even harder to make money with those now.

You can still make money with your own designs on Etsy, and direct to people who need things, but now it’s as much about the design of the items as the printing of them.

I suppose selling at a local market can still work, too, but it’s a huge time sink. (Like any other job, I guess.)

Looks like they’re going back to Ryza’s exploration/gathering tools, which is great. I loved that system, and the constantly making of newer and better tools.

Unfortunately, it looks like they kept the mobile Resleriana game’s synthesis. Weak. :(

Ah, yeah, I think I remember that. It was pretty obvious it would be brutal for a lot of gamedev companies there, and I wasn’t surprised at all that it didn’t end up going through.

I’m not sure what you mean. The in-game reward path still has a daily “check in” task for points. And the daily “do 4 tasks” thing is in there, though they’ve opened it up a lot, which I really appreciate. (You can now do quests, open chests, or anything that costs energy to complete them, as well as the standard 4 mini-quests.) And the web checkin is still daily, with only 3 days that you can reclaim by visiting certain pages.

Yup. Though I’ve been pausing more and more lately. The months where I already own the games because I loved them are ones that I can’t blame them for. But there’s been plenty that I just wasn’t interested in.

I’ve played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it’s had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There’s also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.

Parsec? It has virtual monitors.

I only see the first of the comparison images linked here. The line of identical symbols inside squares is pretty convincing.

The second image contains lines of text copied verbatim, and is undeniable.

A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.

A downvote is the opposite of that.

You’ll never convince people not to “shoot the messenger” on link aggregators because it’s antithetical to their view of the system.

I watched a youtuber that was using this, and the cost to print something was pretty high. Like a 2 inch by 2 inch tile with a little depth was like $2 USD for the ink/resin alone. A larger board that looked like it was about 1 ft by 2 ft, with a single layer of print (no depth), was about $25, IIRC.

It’s beautiful, but so expensive to run, IMO.

Apparently not. I had to click a few pages into their site for this:

“While Eclipse Theia incorporates certain components from Visual Studio Code, such as the Monaco editor, it is independently developed with a modular architecture and is not a fork of VS Code.”

Yeah, moves like this have convinced me that when I get another NAS box, it won’t be from them. It’ll probably built custom instead. After some quick searching, OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS seems like top runners right now. Hopefully it’ll be a while before I have to really consider it, though.

I’ve bought stuff from Temu and without installing the app. I’m sure it recommends installing the app if you tap the ad on a phone, but not on desktop.

Those “former marketing leads” are former for a reason then, I guess. There’s absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to “eat the cost” on this.

For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console.

But they’ve been pretty clear in the past that they aren’t about “loss leaders” and will charge what the console is worth.

They do. You’ll see a lot of hate for DLSS on social media, but if you go to the forums or any newly-released game that doesn’t have DLSS, you’ll find at least one post demanding that they implement it. If it’s on by default, most people don’t ever touch that setting and they’re fine with it.

They shouldn’t, but since the game has been enhanced, there’s a good chance that something will go a little wrong and need a patch. I would actually guess that most of them end up with a patch, but only a few end up with game-breaking bugs and need a patch.

I’m not sure who needs this advice. The game was designed to be played without it, so that’s good.

People that need the feature will use it, of course. For whatever reason.

Everyone else has a choice: Mindless running through the wilds to get where you’re going, sometimes seeing something interesting on the way… Or just letting this thing get you there, without the “follow the white line” minigame.

The people who are going to use this were already using in-game features to do it as much as possible, but with a manual component that irked them. Asking them not to use it isn’t going to improve their game experience.

Anyone who roams without the white line isn’t even in this discussion. They would never use this feature, so the advice doesn’t change their mind at all.

It’s just Rosie the Riveter, as a dragon… For some reason.

It does feel weird to copy something so obviously and use it for a union logo.
