I've been incredibly bummed out by Star Wars Games (well, the whole franchise, really)...

But, this one excites me: https://t.co/gZ6eAOtYLu God I hope they don't screw this up.

(I have Star Wars Episode 1 Racer installed on PCs currently. :-) )

@Grummz Overhead, and performance... I think it goes to Linux. I made it sound like I think Windows just better. It has a lot of things that make it better, but I wish Linux was more reliable.

[Kevin Rank @rifter]

@Grummz Windows. Though, that is because of better driver support and MUCH better native support. Plus, different games have different utilities and such. Most of those run Windows.

@GLabsPlus @SandyofCthulhu As a professor, I agree 100%. I spent 25 years in IT before I started teaching it. (And many of those years dedicated to analytics).

Of course a large number of students don't care, either, which makes things really rough.

@NoodleWise @LostMemeArchive Yes... I do remember then. I also remember the game I purchased at launch... and am VERY happy with the game today. Hell, I am happy with the game 5 years ago. I used to be salty for paying FULL price on launch day... but no more. They fixed their mistake. You can too.

@NoMansSky No Man's Sky is going to become an ARG?

Do YOU love Bees, Sean?

Will I need to hang around the payphone of a diner... again?

Is our ship getting its own ship-board AI to help us?

Thankfully, it looks like they got out safely. Scary moments at the airshow today.

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

Wow. I always think about this when watching air shows but it’s very rare:

A mid-air collision today at Gunfighters air show.

Looks like the pilots ejected out safely in parachutes.

I’m tired of hearing how innovative and fresh Hail Mary is.

No! We used to get one or two movies like this EVERY year.

Hollywood just abandoned storytelling for cheap CGI and a modern audience.

We need to go back.

@NoMansSky That's what I call playing the long game!

[Kevin Rank @rifter]

@NoMansSky This is going to be all about music, isn't it. Higher quality music performance. Stadium music performances!

@FC_CRUZ @NoMansSky If you are talking about Generative AI, the token cost is kind of crazy if you do that. I have a buddy that is a developer and had integrated it into a game a few years ago. It was cool, but PROHBITATIVELY expensive.

[Kevin Rank @rifter]

@Kneon heh, they are buying post destruction.

[Kevin Rank @rifter]

@SandyofCthulhu That sounds like you did far more than land on your feet. :-)

@Grummz I live in Boise, a coworker had some insight on this. (from 3 months ago). Consumer ram came from "defects" on the server ram.

Their yields have gone up over the years, to the point they had to purchase a lot of 3rd party RAM for Crucial. They finally decided to drop that.
