I agree with you in principle, but I kind of liked XP. It had some great features for retro gaming, which I don’t recall seeing before then.

So…my process (which you just accurately described) could be replaced by an LLM, after all? Hooray! Monkey feed isn’t too expensive, but a million mouths is still a million mouths.
I love that Lemmy finally has the kinds of communities appropriate to value a request for a sorting algorithm diagram dedicated to the King of Pop’s pet monkey!
(Just trying to do my part…)
Another bonus: Many very good open source games can be added to SteamDeck by:
Some suggestions: Luanti, Empty Epsilon, Free Civ, Tux Racer, most retro emulators.
I agree Valve should do all of this, but realistically I think only the controller (and the price) really makes or breaks the Steam Machine. It needs to be just good enough, and it needs to be available.
I want four good controllers to play some couch co-op out of my SteamDeck Library, so I need to not hear that there’s a waiting list for controllers.
I don’t necessarily need a whole new era of advanced gaming, and I suspect putting crazy nice hardware inside would be a mistake (if it drives the price sky high). Valve can afford to let PlayStation continue to own the high end graphics market, and let Xbox continue to rule over the game of the month club.
Valve just needs to support my never quite getting around to playing all of my impulse-buy indie games, on my TV set and surround sound speakers.
And yeah, if they release a beefier model in about 3 years, I’ll probably upgrade.
Actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you. I’m stealing this if I ever get the chance.
Oh. Now I get it. Thanks.
Related code should go together as much as possible, for maintainability.
If this results in too much code together, it’s time to think about other ways to structure the code so that each thing the user can do fits into as few files as possible, but not too many things the user can do share a file.
This is photoshopped, right?
Intellectually, I know this is about more than my ability to play Gauntlet:Dark Legacy, again on new hardware.
But in my heart, I suspect the developers are working under a poster of Valkyrie with the words “Do it for her” written across the top.
Great write up. Thank you!
Classic write-up!
Although, now that I’m an interviewer, I kind of despise FizzBuzz, because nobody thinks clearly during a high pressure interview.
Whenever possible, I love to talk with a candidate about some concrete past source code they claim to have written. I’ve better luck putting the candidate at ease and then talking through their contributions to the code.
Of course, when I get enough candidates who shared source code, I don’t even invite the ones who didn’t share source code for an interview.
If the tests pass, then everything is fine… Unless we expected the tests not to pass…then it’s time to burn the codebase down and try again after a long vacation to clear our heads.
Of course, I’ll usually settle for fixing the test suite after a long weekend. But in my heart, I’ll know what I should have done…
There’s no reason beyond maybe time crunch why you shouldn’t be able to dissect exactly what it does.
Usually it’s mysterious business logic from before the dawn fo time.
But, losing a little credibility now buys everyone time for their job search!
The Pirate’s Code Style and Documentation Standard…be more like guidelines.
Unicorn, Heart (Captain Planet), and Aquaman probably hang out, during the adventures they’re not invited to.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
