There go my hopes and dreams of IRL Solid Vision system and duel disks…

One day, it will happen with MR.

RIP Black Box Games

(I’m a NFS fan but also a fan of Black Box)

The way I did it is by trying to solve more and more advanced problems with simpler tools/features, then looking at more advanced features and seeing where they could be applied to make the problem solving simpler. Rinse and repeat.

An easy example that I can remember is making arrays that dynamically expand. I started with the barebones malloc and worked out how to use std::vector (and other list types) in its place.

Understanding that concept is, what I believe, to be the foundation of learning programming.

I’m no pro whatsoever, but using this method really helps me pick up and learn new languages.

Oh you mean Android Studio automagically “updating” your versions so that your build breaks and you spent 3 hours figuring out what just happened without you even touching anything?

Yeah I meant don’t use joycons lol

Pro Controller at the very least. CTR is a game that should be played with a dpad for steering. You can use the analog inputs but some more advanced tricks (such as tight steering) will require a solid dpad.

And that’t the crux of the issue. Stenzek doesn’t actually understand the reality of licensing.

The reality is this - you can’t do anything without a lawyer. Laweyrs cost money (pro bono isn’t a thing in the copyright world AFAIK, but IANAL).

If he wanted to avoid this, then maybe he should’ve kept it closed source from the beginning. Chinese sellers on AliExpress couldn’t care less about licensing anyway, so that way he’d have at least some protection.

IMO his course of action so far has been wrong.

What he should’ve done is this:

1. Cause a stir
2. Get support from the community
3. Open up donations for the project (or just himself, since you don’t want a repeat of Yuzu)

He could even go after Arcade1up legally if he raised funds, but that’s not even worth the time if you ask me.

I’d recommend getting a proper controller for it. CTR is a dpad and shoulder button masher.

Any Black Box made Need for Speed.

(Currently busy fixing Pro Street, so many bugs…)

This is the real issue. This is one area that Windows, despite its historical hardships, handles much better.

(Mac OS too but they killed kexts for the public anyway)

I’d love to see a more dynamic approach (that doesn’t rely on DKMS) someday.

A friend of mine uses Tablacus Explorer (with a Webview2 extension)

Yes but, in practice some of these things don’t matter much at all. At that point you’re looking at the performance stack a bit too deeply.

Look at the bigger picture. For example - an RTX 4090 can perform about as well on PCIe 3.0 as it does on 4.0 in most tasks that you’d likely use it for.

You don’t have to care about some of these things as much as you used to before. Sometimes you can get too deep into hunting the best version of your system before you realize that it really doesn’t make that much of a difference.

Unrelated but this is totally possible on a PS4…

…after jailbreaking it and booting into Linux.

Which makes me even more mad at Sony removing OtherOS, but oh well.

To top it off, what matters at the end of the day js this - people generally don’t care about graphics anymore!

Even if you end up with graphics that are worse than a console, you still have:

• an option to upgrade later
• options to configure graphics (generally games actually optimize themselves pretty well nowadays)
• an open platform to do things the way you want

PS5 Pro makes absolutely no sense to me.

Why is there Star Trek in the embed lmao

Yeah enabling remote debugging because the dev thought it made it easier is a pretty big oof.

But this is just strike one. It’s a one man show, after all, so cutting them some slack is warranted when it comes to this specific topic.

Nevertheless, your concerns aren’t unfounded. This project needs more contributors to be able to keep up. (Thorium is basically in the same boat)

Trucy would be trying her hardest to get him to buy this

Shame that PES/WE not only got renamed to eFootball, but also sufferred from the post-Kojima PTSD at Konami.

It recently caught up to DDR and it’s slowly catching up to Yu-Gi-Oh as well (if it didn’t already).

MTG poops and Yugipoops never get old

I used to play Duel Links and shortly Master Duel after it came out. I don’t anymore but hopefully this will help.

If I was going back to the game, I’d go to look for budget deck lists and seeing what ranks up easily. Most of the community is on Discord and Reddit, as well as YouTube (yugitubers and alike) so I’d go and look there. (Not to mention Dkayed’s website, https://masterduelmeta.com and looking at the decks that topped, you’ll be surprised it’s sometimes not all meta stuff)

I’d also go look for some easy farming methods. These usually come in a form of a current event (IIRC in MD there are these “festivals” for each card type, such as Synchro Festival). These events are usually a very easy way to gain a lot of gems for not much playing.

It is what it is. TCG paper Yu-Gi-Oh is even more expensive than MD.

DL is arguably cheaper but it’s been a long time since I last played (2021).

EDIT: Oh and before I forget - there will always be Dueling Book as a free alternative. This is a manual simulator, not an automated one, and allows you to use any card you want with custom rules.

Self-centered you say?
