‘Ratatan’ is being developed for unspecified platforms by Patapon creator Hiroyuki Kotani, with audio by original Patapon musician Kemmei Adachi. The game will be crowdfunded via Kickstarter with the campaign due to start on July 31.

the game’s developers told VGC in a private meeting ahead of the reveal that the game would include roguelike elements and multiplayer for up to four players.

“The three main game concepts are over 100 cute characters fighting it out on screen, four-player simultaneous battles, and more adventure and roguelike elements than Patapon had,” explained producer Kazuto Sakajiri in an interview with VGC.

According to Jez Corden, a journalist at Windows Central, Starcraft 3 is now in development. It's not clear how reliable he is.

Note that this is UK regulation and has nothing to do with the FTC's battle which is over in the US.

Could you mention what apps you needed to run?

I don't remember which they were exactly but some Adobe products were some of them. Specifically Illustrator.

Also, fractional scaling has been improved a lot in Gnome and KDE, afaik.

I hope so. I've last been on Linux like ~2 years ago and I've heard some good changes.

A few apps I needed didn't work on Linux without a hassle and a lot of games I play with friends only run on Windows. I also found a lot of things were kind of a hassle on Linux, especially screen scaling. Fractional screen scaling straight up barely works and everything on my laptop screen was usually tiny.

I would totally go back when the experience is a bit nicer, I'm pretty frustrated with Windows. I think the Linux desktop experience isn't totally ready imo.

Contrast feels a lot nicer, thanks for the update!

I wish there was some spacing in-between posts though. It feels like they blend in together a little.

Edit: turning off card shadow in compact mode helps a lot

It is ridiculous, but according the article the CEO hid stable diffusion from him and told him the company was failing.

No Schweppes? For shame.

Also, cheers to my milk tea brethren.

Great stuff. I didn't expect Meta of all people to be leading open source LLMs, hopefully now companies will invest into making Llama models that are actually competitive.

There are a ton of good mobile games but the reason you can't find them is because 99% of what you see in app stores are paid advertisements. Every section is basically paid, and the few which aren't get botted by major companies. That app that has 5 million downloads and 4.6 average score? Most likely spammed with bots that give it 5 stars. Google Play is a disaster.

Here are some Android games I would absolutely recommend:

  • Fancy Pants Adventures

  • Data Wing

  • The Battle of Politopia

  • Sonny

  • Plato

  • Cube Escape Collection

  • Pocket City (or its sequel)

  • Bloons TD 6 (paid)

  • Dicey Dungeons (paid)

  • Dead Cells (paid)

  • Downwell (paid)

  • Baba Is You (paid)

  • Levelhead (paid)

  • Kingdom Rush series (paid, usually on sale though)

  • If you own Netflix you get to play their catalogue of games for free. I recommend Into the Breach, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, Oxenfree

I could go on, but the point is ignore everything you see on the store. The store is garbage. Try to look for games that are well-talked about online.

Edit: Forgot to mention, there's an app called MiniReview where you can browse game reviews from people who actually care. It's a good resource if you're looking for good games.

My phone. I really need to work on not holding it at all times and opening the screen, looking for notifications, and closing it again every 30 seconds.

I'm not sure if you can do this on the app you're using, but on the website you can click on your profile --> settings --> disable "Show NSFW Content" and hit save.

I honestly hope they don't change it, it's funny how terrible it is

Not much was said in the video sadly, mostly PR speak. I have no doubts there will be DLC though considering how many there were in FFXV.

I always hated complex combo systems in fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter. Fighting games shouldn't be about being able to input 50 super precise key combinations in the span of 1.5 seconds. It should be about positioning, timing, improvisation... Guilty gear strive and super smash bros is proof of this. Every game that gatekeeps new players for not memorizing the built-in combo that takes 60% of your opponent's HP feels like it's still stuck in the 90's arcade game era. Most fighting game series refuse to move forward. There, I've said it.
