    Honestly looking at the most popular games, I dont think graphics matter to even 1% of gamers. Minecraft, Terraria, lethal company, baltro, among us, all have the graphical quality of a 2 year old drawing.

    Publishers are just spending a million to underpay artists solely because ‘graphics’ worked back in the ps2-ps3 era, so theyre still hitting that slot machine hoping for the same returns.

    Edit to add: tunic, factorio (technically) Tetris, temple run, hill climb racing, Wii sports (arguably nindendos entire style until recently), human fall flat all have incredibly cheap graphics



  • Kinda feel like they said something like

    “I think everyone should have food”

    And you responded with

    “you want a Walmart on every block in the world?? do you even know the environmental impact that will have? Poor people are really to blame anyways because they’re not voting with their wallets enough”

    How an asshole can mess something up is entirely independent of how a proper implementation might not mess up

    Edit to say: I think this is what they meant in their comment about (American) capitalist propaganda; You dont realise your implicit bias enforcing that it must be a capitalist implementing it without any external input.

    To the rest of the world he’s just an infamous citizen in a dying country, who would never realistically have 1/10th the pull needed to enforce that BS internationally; by starting the conversation at best he’d speed up external implementations.

    4% of US alone is 12 million people.

    If even 25% of them decide hardware purchases based on driver support, 3 million sales isn’t ignorable.

    (The number of PCs sold globally per year is similarly 300,000,000, so even then theyd lose out on 12 million potential sales YEARLY)

    The market is also pretty shit post-covid, so I’m sure every hardware company is dying for a way to boost sales metrics.








  • Linux is really only a thing because it ISNT Unix (which macos is). Theyre more related than windows because they’re both POSIX compatible, but share essentially no codebase.

    A rooted android phone on the other hand is just plain ol linux compiled for ARM, with some custom google jazz. It utilises a lot of Linux components like cgroups and SELinux - commonly found on desktop Linux (especially with containers).

    Its not really that important in a broad sense to be honest, but it definitely makes android a Linux distro.
