Would I be decreasing people's operating costs if I just opened an account on example.lol so most of my interaction was on my home instance?

Likely no. If one person on the instance is subscribed to a remote community, everything is synchronized anyways. If no one is subscribed to the remote community then it's probably a very small and low activity community anyways, which means it's a drop in the bucket difference.

I wonder if the default should be changed, do people actually like Active?

Scaled is only good for Subscribed I think, it's not great for All, at least not for new users

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

I think even just a frontend (web UI or mobile app) could fix this pretty easily

when it loads a page with many posts from the same community, it only shows 1 or 2 and puts the rest in a queue to show on later pages

isn't the GPU Ampere? aka 3000 series, which was 8nm as you say

would be kinda crazy if both the arch and the node are so old, I'm really hoping for a decent new Shield TV...

but the current Shield TV is Maxwell and 16nm lol so anything would be an upgrade at this point

How did no one say this yet? Duke Nukem Forever E3 2001 trailer

Higher refresh rate is definitely better yes, but 700 hz is well past the point of diminishing returns lol

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

It's there now, the crawler found you. Congrats!

Yeah at the very minimum you should tell them which instance to use, don't make them choose

there is also this idea

you could also have the current single line above the keyboard like the current landscape keyboard experience, in addition to the extra space in between the split

You just have to view it on the community's home instance. From my instance it says 36, but from

https://lemmy.ca/c/canada

It says 6.03k

The badges are a pretty good idea though

Broken Sword Parzival’s Stone will be the first new entry for the iconic point-and-click adventure games in a decade, and it’ll be preceded by the arrival of a 4K reinvention of the beloved first game in the series. Alongside the new Broken Sword Parzival’s Stone, Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars Reforged is set to arrive in early 2024, and developer Revolution Software says it’s aimed to be a perfect introduction for newcomers and a nostalgia trip for long-time fans alike.

This week's dev update comes directly from the mind behind our eerie and atmospheric audio director, Jonathan van den Wijngaarden, and a special note & video from The Fat Man - original composer of iconic 90s The 7th Guest PC Classic.

'Working on the 7th Guest VR has been an exciting experience. When the team at Vertigo approached me first, I felt both excited and slightly intimidated! The original game is such a legendary title and still holds a very dedicated fanbase even today. From the very first moment I’ve felt doing right to both the iconic work done by George (Sanger) and to the fans would be my very first goal.

It quickly became clear that we’d be retelling the original story while adapting it for modern audiences and not in the least; the new platform. Music and sound should also follow this direction, and to me it felt doing a literal remake of the soundtrack would not do justice to this approach (also; it didn’t feel right to ‘redo’ the work done by George for the original). Instead I wanted to capture the essence and feel of the original music and make this the center of this new score.

That said, George’s work obviously was a huge source of inspiration and many of the original themes and motifs return. I made a selection of the original themes that to me felt most memorable and used those as a starting point for writing the new material. All music is adaptive in nature, which allows us to transition to a different variation once you solve a room.

The original had a very interesting blend of styles and instruments and I really wanted to bring this back in order to establish a unique sound. We have an incredible group of musicians lending their talents to this score; Lara Ausensi on vocals, Frank Klepacki on drums, Hannes Frischat on cello, Nathan Madsen on saxophone and even The Fatman himself on guitar and vocals! '

And now, a special word from The Fat Man.

https://youtu.be/nXtTcFevU0o

George, what can you tell us, as the original composer of The 7th Guest, what was your reaction when you heard that Vertigo Games was planning a VR remake of this iconic game?

'"About time!" It's a perfect fit. The original game introduced a million or two players to the world of content-rich games, of CD-ROM's, of General MIDI music, of digitally recorded sound and music and some cutting edge FMV. The game's atmosphere of exploration, immersion, and puzzle solving was just right for introducing new technology, and I can see it onboarding a lot of folks into VR in the same fun, cool, SCARY way.'

Back to you Jonathan!

'Thanks George! We also made sure the house feels alive in terms of sound design and weird noises. There are quite some chilling ambiances throughout that are very surreal in nature at times. Everything works towards something that has the player on edge, not knowing what to expect next - to me this is what made the original game so impactful. Last but not least, seeing the volumetric video come to life with music, sound design and voices was a very cool experience. A lot of effort went into making this all work, hats off to the tech team for solving that puzzle!'

A nice non-combat section of the Randomizer where the locations of the nanokeys are randomized. This time the final key to the basement ended up in a surprising spot that threw DeusExpert for a loop.

Check out the rest of the playlist for the full playthrough so far. (this is v2.5 so a little behind the current version, but still good!)
