I know this is true, but it's dumb as hell. The difference in thickness between a usb-c port and headphone jack is millimeters, and a good pair of wired headphones is still a good pair decades later. No need to upgrade the connector unless you're making money off selling usb-c headphones.

It's not like it hurts bluetooth users to have a headphone jack they won't use.

The Ship of Harkinian OoT decomp team have moved on to 2 Ship 2 Harkinian for MM, which is rapidly catching up to this separate static decomp project. I'd imagine that once it is done the individual randomizer comes next, then combined.

If you don't care about it running as a PC port, there already is a combined rando that results in an n64 rom.

Oof. Guess you hacked yours before they had sorted out the DNS settings and the module that blocks connections to Nintendo servers? That sucks.

But you don't need it to run on linux if you're using a personally stripped down LTSC Windows install activated for free using massgrave.

More seriously, two different meanings of free going on here.

Man, I'd hate to see an IT department you were in charge of.

I may be completely off the mark, but I'm pretty sure that Intune device management doesn't allow you to push arbitrary APKs out to managed Android devices. There would still also be the issue of getting the device managed to start with.

Microsoft isn't about to roll out their own version of the Play Store just to serve APKs to their Chinese employees.

They also are not going to try and manage rolling out updates to whatever cluster mess of different android devices those employees use, tracking update compliance, etc

Any other solution to this involves considerable extra work for their internal IT team(s). Easier to just force everyone needing access to corporate devices to use a single standard (and buy company phones for the few who raise a stink).

LMAO, this lady has four nobel prize winners in her family and lives on an estate that is also home to a national heritage oak collection.

Of course she wants us to ignore class warfare

I've been saying this since OWS fell apart, and you're the first person in a long time I've seen agree with that take.

Identity politics are important, but they pale in importance compared to the fact that people exist worth more than some countries, and the resources and options at those individuals' disposal.

This is very similar to a plot point in the later Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. A civilization manages to convince all their hair stylists, project managers, telephone sanitization specialists, etc that the world is ending and that they've been selected as the elite to be the first on the colony ships leaving the planet.

It makes us all look stupid and hateful.

I'd argue that it does a lot more than make people just look hateful. Plenty of assholes out there using progressive causes as justification and shielding for their poor behavior.

The dev could have avoided this easily by merging the original PR and moving on with their life, but there is negative reason for the dogpiling that occurred. It's open fucking source. Fork it and make your own inclusive competitor.

The behavior of the community around this is reprehensible, and is the perfect ammunition for opportunists looking to draw people into right wing radicalism. "Look at what they did to someone for using he instead of they! Imagine what will happen if we let these people have any real power?"

Primarily being developed by someone who was most likely a sexist, three years ago, and who is now being dogpiled by people who probably weren't ever going to use his software anyway.

If anyone really cared about this, they should just fork the code and start their own inclusive version. Literally steal the asshat's project out from under him. Instead, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to try and score asinine dunks on the dev's shitty opinion.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.

I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they've only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.

For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a try.

For Hades, I've always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I've been craving an isometric real time combat game too.

There is one benefit, at least for now. You aren't locked into long term contracts like cable has/had.
