You're arguing in bad faith. The value of an EV depends a lot on infrastructure (how hard is it to find a charger, etc). You need a lot of people using EVs for that to improve. A single consumer will come to a different decision in a market with EV saturation than if they're the first adopter.

The problem with audio in general is that plugins, like VST, are really just programs -- and each of these individual programs is typically doing Windows-specific stuff. It's not impossible to do audio in Linux, but it's much less plug-and-play, and often auth doesn't work for paid plugins.

This tends to have a lot to do with 1) are you using Nvidia, since they definitely make a lot of things harder, and 2) do you have integrated graphics or some other reason there are two potential GPUs, which confuses Windows sometimes, too

Ableton is the only DAW whose UX makes sense to me. But there are other things I dislike about Ableton so there's really no winning.

i don't care how many times you tell me what "premultiplied alpha" means. I am not going to remember

The idea is that you AREN'T supposed to come up or remember complicated passwords; you're supposed to let a password manager "come up" with them for you, and never use the password for your password manager anywhere else.

When navigating away from your page is easier than navigating your page, that's what people are going to do.

I feel like UFO 50 is a very different experience just because of the consistency (both in quality, and in overall design/style) between games.

You can have a great time playing random games on itch, but it's gonna be real bumpy with a lot of stinkers, and not in the Barbuta wack-controls way.

Again, it's possible that there's more to this than just CS:GO, but I can't help but feel that Valve's extreme efforts to move as far from CS:GO as possible have something else going on behind the scenes, besides not wanting to split the player base. Is there some weird legal implication?

07.05.2025 23:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Either way, this is pretty shitty. But hey, I was already very against the complete erasure of CS:GO in the first place, so it's clear that Valve doesn't value my opinion on the matter.

Of course, it's also possible that their intention is that mods really are only allowed within explicitly endorsed guardrails, i.e. only what the workshop supports.

07.05.2025 23:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My read on Valve's email (as linked by the CS:CO team) is that they are only okay with mods for "actively supported" games; i.e., when the project was greenlit, using CS:GO was probably fine, but now that CS2 has replaced it, they only want mods based on CS2.

I'm not convinced by the simplification of movement - that's the whole reason X-Wing works, imo - but the art style is really unique and this definitely looks worth a try!

I've been burned out on crafting games for ages, but... it just all fits together so perfectly.
