Sheesh, and I thought it was already impressive.

Ultrasonic is still simpler, cheaper, and more reliable

ToF will generally go through glass (as long as it’s translucent to the relevant IR range).
- Comment on [Mini Poll] Which of these games feels closest to the original Half-Life? 2 weeks ago:
Style, the increase in puzzle aspects, larger interconnected maps with backtracking. HL still blew them away in every category, though.
- Comment on [Mini Poll] Which of these games feels closest to the original Half-Life? 2 weeks ago:
None of them really compare.
Quake 2 stripped away the charm of Quake; Quake 3 was the harbinger of a new era of arena shooters and Quake 4 dealt the killing blow to the franchise, ending any resemblance whatsoever to the original. Of all of these, Quake 2 resembled Half Life the most, but still lacked the rich narrative.
AVP (2000) was phenomenal, and thus is probably the most appropriate to compare to Half-Life, though still a very different game.
- Comment on "As soon as it fired up, he'd get up and go to lunch": How Age of Empires' developers tested mission difficulty 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, there’s probably a fair number of people here with portfolios in the vicinity of half a million, which really isn’t as much money as it used to be.

Paywall.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, as long as the batteries are easily replaceable and don’t degrade destructively, it might age better than the original Mindstorms components which are a PITA to use today.
Then again, plain ABS at worst yellows under too much UV.

If obly there were such things as battery packs.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 3 weeks ago:
Not with that attitude.

OK, looks like they actually integrated the speaker, which wasn’t clear at the initial reveal. That’s an improvement. The rest of the sensors fit in basically zero space, so that’s not so impressive, especially since a 2x4 brick has about triple the internal volume as a 2x2 slope brick.
Doesn’t have … LEDs … color
It’s a 72x40 OLED display, so that’s actually 2,880 LEDs, on the order of 1,000× as many LEDs as a single RGB LED.
It can also play Doom.

Turns out there’s not actually much functionality in these at all. An RFID reader and an RGB LED, whoop-de-shit.
Here’s an example of what cutting-edge brick tech could look like.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was really expecting some Mindstorms-level magic when I saw the first announcement teasers. The fact that it’s just an RFID reader with some LEDs is beyond disappointing.

No, nobody ever needs Docker.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 2 months ago:
You’re not really selling it. Fucking up my gaming system with Docker bloat is that last thing I’d want.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 2 months ago:
Support the vast majority of titles with minimal friction right out of the box.
I don’t want to have do dick around and tweak shit when I want to relax with a video game; I’ve got plenty of other Linux boxes for tinkering. I want to be able to slap an OS on a PC and have it be Steam Deck But Bigger.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 2 months ago:
Can’t wait for full-fledged Steam OS for general PCs.

And people who use controllers in general. And people with small screens. And people with poor vision. And …

Please believe it when a seasoned professional informs you that ingesting user feedback, implementing good UIs, and optimization are all hard work.

That … that’s the hard work.

Read the article - this isn’t just about Linux support.

Working harder on your game makes it better! Wow!
But seriously, it’s great that Valve is leading the way pushing demand for this.
