They… Don’t though. At least, not in my experience.

Yeah, AMD basically said “tactical retreat” and tried to make a popular midrange card to get market share back up.

I don’t think they have long term plans to stay midrange only. They’ll keep working and once they have something that can compete, they’ll launch it.

CDs are read optically though

I think around 4 will do it. They say your stomach is what, two fists or so large? That seems about right

For anyone on Linux having problems getting into matches because the region isn’t available, switch to Proton bleeding edge for Hunt.

Loving all the bug fixes here!

If the screenshot says it all they don’t want that, they want exciting leftist news

Yeah, that could definitely be cool.

Cost would be a big factor … Fandom got big by being free and eventually replaced (or heavily customized) mediawiki to the point it’s unrecognizable.

Honestly the all trails stuff I don’t even find to be worth it in my area. It doesn’t have the trails, it has “trails.”

i.e. it stitches 5 individual trails together into a mega trail with some roads you have to walk and then says oh look, a 6th trail over here!

I’ve been hiking for years and just use park maps and Google maps.

Thanks mate

I didn’t realize bedrock stayed with the old combat system… I honestly largely prefer that one

Interesting, that’s a detail I hadn’t heard. So it sounds like the mobile edition eventually ate the console edition and then they wanted it to possibly eat the original Java version too, but couldn’t get there(?)

You would get 3 FPS 🙂

I feel like I watched a documentary on this once and it was the safety bit… But I’d be curious if anyone comes in and tells me I’m wrong

Has bedrock edition changed much? I remember they had VR at one point, but in general they’ve kept the features pretty much identical AFAIK

No, the Java version runs within the JVM and the C++ version would run via native code. That’s effectively like having something work on an ARM processor and an x86 processor at the same time.

They both could be modded, but it’s harder to mod C++ because the optimization phase is ahead of time. Minecraft modding is in part an accident because the optimization phase happens during runtime within the JVM … that means the binary “.jar” files align much more closely with the code mojang wrote … where as an “.exe” would be radically changed.

C++ modding would also be more difficult because it’s harder to preserve stability in C++. In the JVM, basically the only way the program crashes is if an exception goes uncaught or the programmer explicitly asks the program to termite (which never happens). In C++ there are still exceptions but there are a whole lot of things that are exceptions in Java that aren’t in C++ … so you can’t just fence off the modding API cleanly and say “if an exception is thrown while running this mod keep going.”

Those two reasons are the major reasons that games pick Lua over native C++ based mods (that and you can secure Lua and prevent it from doing anything it wants … Java and C++ mods can do anything they want, which is part of why the Minecraft modding scene is so good; if you want to connect to a database for administrative purposes, you can write that mod server side and have your database of block changes to find griefers, your plot database to protect plots, your store database to provide shops, etc).

I mean, yes and no. They have (I believe) slowed down, but for quite a while they were making MAJOR refactors every release and the internals were rapidly changing despite not much being visible on the surface.

I think a lot of that stopped with dinnerbone taking a step back … but I’m also not as involved with the scene anymore so I’m not entirely sure if that’s true.

But yeah, they regularly used to screw modders up redoing internals to make things dynamic instead of hard coded and refraction tons and tons of stuff.

I miss the days when they were ambitiously pursuing an official API for mods; now they’ve kind of resigned to letting the community projects handle that. Which is not a terrible approach, but it’s not a great one either.

Yes, this is the reason, summarized well.

If Mojang ever stops updating Java, people will just play the old version because of the huge number of mods. Modded Minecraft servers made Minecraft what it was and then after Mojang put effort into the Java modding community that was doubly true because the client mods got good and got complex.

That’s not true, bedrock started before Microsoft was ever involved; it was the console and mobile version.

Anything with a server software you can host can be played on LAN (okay probably not some things because they’re being weird but in general this is true).

That means counter strike, Minecraft, supertuxkart, xonotic, enshrouded, pal world, etc
