  • You don’t, it’s just a controller, shaped like a Steam Deck but without the screen. With the touch pads and everything. It can be normal controller sized since you don’t need the screens and giant battery, and most of the processing. Maybe save a little flash memory in it to save control schemes right to the controller would be nice.







  • Personally, I don’t really go out socially. Like ever.

    So once a week or so when my friends go out to the bars and spend $50 on food and beers, I might spend a $20 on a game that’s on sale and get the same or better return on my time and money for it. If I buy a game for $20 and spend five hours on it and never touch it again, that’s about equivalent to a night out with the boys, both in dollars spent and in hours enjoyed.

    I’ve built up a collection of indie games on this mindset and I don’t see any of it as wasted. If I get a lower return than $5 per hour enjoyed then I’ll refund the game or not recommend it for others. But I have a ton of games that have kept me well entertained for 3-6 days for the price of a beer and a kebab. I consider that good value.





  • I also wasn’t familiar so I looked them up.

    Reality Labs is Meta’s VR/metaverse branch.

    Mapillary was previously a crowdsourced maps program like OpenStreetMaps, which was acquired by Meta in 2020. Presumably they’re looking to EEE it and fold it into Meta proper.

    Beluga is a Twitter clone, I can’t find anything objectively bad about it other than being a Twitter clone.



  • The aviation industry can absorb a whole lot of sin before they’re on equal danger footing with automotive, if for no other reason than sheer volume. Most people, unless you fly constantly for work, get on a plane once a year or less. Most people drive to work almost every day. Roads have traffic, the skies do not (at least, not nearly to the same extent, midair collisions can happen but they’re rare).

    I have no doubt the skies are about to become noticeably less safe, but they’ve got a looooot of catching up to do before they dethrone the automobile as one of the top 3 leading causes of death in America.
