GrapheneOS has a duress pin that wipes the phone when you enter it, that's conceptually similar

I know on some of the more modern intel CPU's they run something like a big.little system, where there's a number of "performance" cores and some "efficiency" cores. Often it's just the performance cores that will have hyperthreading, leading to a whacky thread count compared to physical cores.

Typically in a metroidvania you'll be using the new abilities you've unlocked to access new areas, each one being something of a puzzle or introducing new mechanics to the player, so it's rarely just a walking simulator.

Also I think that "quiet time" is an integeral part of good game design, even in something like a shmup there's enemy and projectile patterns that are so trivial they're essentially inconsequential. Although the paradigms regarding what works across genres are obviously quite different.

Interesting point though, hopefully I don't see what you mean when I next play!

Good art is timeless

I've finally gotten around to playing Control, I'm maybe half way through and so far it has not disappointed

"First, strangely, the owls had died. At the time it had seemed almost funny, the fat, fluffy white birds lying here and there, in yards and on streets; coming out no earlier than twilight as they had while alive the owls escaped notice. Medieval plagues had manifested themselves in a similar way, in the form of many dead rats."

God I cannot stand Richard Dawkins, he just seems like such an insufferable prick

Granted, I haven't read any of his books

Absolutely, I loved it and thought it was one of the best Discworlds, I guess it takes all sorts

What about his rug?? It really pulled the room together

I dunno man, I prefer Harmy's Despecialised over the 4K*s, I find the color grading a lot easier on the eyes

What do you mean by country? I would have thought everyone had the same definition of country

God the Asahi team is amazing, reverse engineering a black box architecture is not easy, yet they persevere

They are incredible, but they came out two decades ago and everyone who worked on them is long gone, nothing morally gray about pirating them...

People are full of meat

Man Chinese sites always kill me with this, so much bamboozlement and obfuscation across the board, and good luck getting a refund if anything goes wrong

Ooo care to share pics of the case design? I've been interested in building one for awhile now

It'll be very interesting to see the longevity of those new chinese cars. They certainly have saturated the market, and by all accounts appear to be reasonably good value, but who knows what their long-term reliability will be like

Hey now, Werner Von Braun seemed like a nice enough guy and did some really cool work, even if it was all a front for ICBM development

Aww poor Crytek, I wish they'd make something groundbreaking again
