If you’re defining programming as simply translating an algorithm. Into code as is, sure it isn’t art. However, designing abstractions and the structure which allows said algorithm to work with various parts of a program seamlessly and beautifully can be art.

Games@lemmy.world•Terraria with RetroAchievements on AndroidEnglish
3·11 days agoIt’s nice to have some guides pinned and to keep notes. Some games have had second screen mods but a number of them are vibe coded and some of these devs broke open source licenses doing it so I’m steering clear of those.
Wii U is another platform that benefits from it as the bottom screen acts as the Wii U tablet controller though I’ve not yet tried it out personally.

21·11 days agoA country with no concern for international law or human rights should not have that kind of supranational power. I’d feel safer with Chinese electronics in all honesty.
This describes both the Americans and the Chinese. But I guess you can pick the lesser threat based on your circumstances. The Chinese have been far more aggressive in my region so if I’m forces to choose, well the choice is clear.

4·12 days agoIf you’re playing 3DS games then there’s no point as emulation inherently adds input latency. The only benefits are if you’re not playing any games that hurt from that and you’d like to have better visuals. I got mine because I’m emulating other platforms too and running Windows games via GameNative was a game changer.

11·16 days agoAre there even any games in the past decade that are available purely physical without DRM? You’re gonna be locked to digitally only on PC in any case so I have no idea what you’re on about.

Games@lemmy.world•Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)English
0·1 year agoIf Discord is going to be abandoned by people, I wish we’d go back to proper forums that’s much more accessible and searchable. Continuing down this road is just going to lead to the continued burying of useful information behind these services.

Yes let’s take something like player control which is fast, efficient and direct and see how we can make it inefficient, convoluted, imprecise and laggy. I can somewhat understand if they use it for NPCs but what is the point here other than making a worse player experience?
