Oh look, more really expensive looking electric cars that most can't afford.

I know it makes sense to start at that end of the market, but damn if it isn't annoying.

What does this mean for most users? What features does this allow/improve that they couldn't implement before?

Do we know why they are doing this if it's so unusual?

Edit: and is this an Android change or a Google change? Is a particular android version picky about what Linux version it's built on?

The page doesn't load in Firefox mobile.... That's about right....

I thought that china generally wanted a weaker yuan to boost exports?

I would argue that most D&D games are roleplay light - it's MUCH easier to just run a mechanical game than one with lots of roleplay.

I can give you session after session of dungeon crawling, or low level story stuff, but trying to put together a campaign with good (consistent) characters with motivations and personalities is incredibly difficult.

The reason you hear about all the roleplay heavy ones (critical role etc, or even stories from other people's campaigns) is because they stand out as being special, exceptionally well done games.

Is the market not getting saturated at this point? The non old steam deck is ridiculously cheap.

How many companies can make this work at a profitable level?

Real engineering also did one (actually better than Scott's I think)

This is a fancy aerospike engine right? The rotating detinations gives it higher chamber pressure and therefore better ISP or something?

I will look for the Scott Manley video on this later (I think it was him?) Edit: also a Real Engineering one that explains the aero-spike nozzle

Anyone have the ISP of this experiment to compare to other engines?

There is only so much that can be multi-threaded, beyond that the overhead just slows things down (and can cause bugs)

More simulation type games (city skylines etc) can multithread more (generally) while your standard shooter has much less that it can do (unless you have AI bots etc)

Would they not have had to give access to location services for this to happen though? Google is very good at giving me a "only while using this app" option for this kind of stuff now.
